I've come far in life, my accomplishments, the many
obstacles I've overcome, and the countless testimonies,
simply through faith in God and believing that nothing
impossible with Him. When we pray we praise God saying,
He is the God of ALL possibilities, reflecting on what the
Bible tells us that with God ALL things are possible. I
believe with faith in God there is nothing that cannot be
accomplished. FAITH means completely trusting and
having confidence in someone or something, and putting
our complete trust in God is one such example.
There are others, however, who do not share our faith in
God or His son Jesus Christ. Just as the blind man in the
passage--not keeping quiet when rebuked but instead
continuing to call on Jesus because of his faith that Jesus
could heal him--we must also stay strongly rooted in our
faith. We must not worry about what others think of our
beliefs but work on ourselves; steadfastly reaching out to
Jesus, and building our faith and trust in He who loves us
unconditionally.
I pray that God will keep us grounded in on our faith and
belief in Him. I pray He helps us withstand those who mock
or laugh at us. With faith in God, we can accomplish
anything through Christ who strengthens us. Great is His
Faithfulness!

These Lenten meditations were written by the people
of St. Barnabas' for the people of St. Barnabas' as part
of our recognition of the 50th anniversary of the founding
of this church. We hope that you will find them helpful
in your own Lenten devotions.
