     | 1,156 views

    Today, I want to talk about having a confident faith because a confident faith will kill worry. A confident faith quiets our minds as the Lord whispers to our souls, “fear not.”

    When or how many times have you worried about something that turned out to be no big deal? I’m reminded of what one person said. “Don’t tell me the worry doesn’t do any good.
