Following are some relevant scriptures regarding issues that many of us deal with in life. Pray and speak these words over your life, asking God to reveal his will for you in those areas. Our prayer is that God's word is a source of direction, peace, and revelation for you, that it opens doors of wisdom and perspective that will guide you through life.
