We are the offensive and not the defensive. (Let me finish, ask questions later.) Afraid and Terrified - pray for boldness and guidance.

Sometimes we get too comfortable but are we prepared when storm comes? Sometimes we learn in a hard way if we don't listen as one of the prophet named Jonal who was eaten by a big fish.

Jerimiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
