Faith in Our Steps
In our spiritual walk, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed by the journey ahead of us. Yet, the Bible teaches us to place our faith in the Lord.

By leaning on Him, we can take our focus off our worries and instead lean into His plans, which unfold step by step. When we do this, we can find peace in each moment, knowing that we are not alone. Our walk is not just about the destination but also about how we build our relationship with God along the way.
