Some people talk about letting go and letting God. Well, I believe we begin by claiming the promises and then walking in faith believing that those promises are true. Begin walking in faith. Too many Christians live like that. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
Many people do.
No, he is right beside us, and when we fall down, he is there to pick us up, and get us back on our feet by his grace. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. How does he prepare us. The Jews were God's chosen people in the Old Testament.
