Childlike Faith

In this episode of the Only Hope Podcast, Caroline Thornton shares how our children can be the best example of how to have true bold surrendered faith for our Heavenly Father. She discusses how we need to look at our Heavenly Father with gratitude and realize all that He has provided for us. Caroline encourages her listeners to wake up every morning like a child without a worry knowing that no matter what comes up in the day that your Heavenly Father will be there to take care of it, and he is preparing things we don't even see for whatever comes our way. She explains how newborns can't be without their mothers for even a few hours without their life being at stake and that's how we are when we go hours without in relationship with God. When we go with too much time without being in the Presence of God through prayer and reading His Word, we are more susceptible to the tactics of the enemy. The more we seek Jesus, the more we are able to discern those tactics, and we will be less likely to fall for those schemes. Stay connected with Only Hope!
