Oops sorry. I loved reading this post though! I never thought of it as literally "exercising your faith". There are things I am not the best at, however, I am striving to become better at those things. As you say, "breaking barriers". Thanks for writing this and helping me think of faith in a different way.The Dillonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05949700409866837535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417234281196367399.post-20896866587421874712011-01-27T18:07:58.450-08:002011-01-27T18:07:58.450-08:00Thanks for sharing that about Faith.

I plead with God a lot for answers and I cry and talk out loud sometimes also. I know we will be blessed because of this experience, but I need to be more patient and keep the faith that all will be well.johnandjanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10209201063261172592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417234281196367399.post-43043080946458879072011-01-25T09:24:20.399-08:002011-01-25T09:24:20.399-08:00Thanks for sharing!Thanks for sharing!Poulsen Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06272121969567873445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417234281196367399.post-68833032341994000262011-01-25T07:01:43.771-08:002011-01-25T07:01:43.771-08:00Pats, I think you are doing the exact right thing....Pats, I think you are doing the exact right thing. I find that I cling to prayer and scriptures even more when I'm going through something, and though the trials are horrible, there is so much comfort that comes from communing with Heavenly Father. There's this quote I used to paste into my EFY girls' books every week - "God may not answer prayers right away, but he will always be on time." You'll get your answers eventually. The trick is to trust him.Karhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16109952872373436694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417234281196367399.post-79323104522457599272011-01-24T21:17:46.089-08:002011-01-24T21:17:46.089-08:00What a great post Patty, and I think it's some...What a great post Patty, and I think it's something everyone could use a little of. Ironically I just posted about physical exercise! Maybe I should be focusing on other things more :) <br /><br /> I can't say that my faith is unshakable, but at the same time I have never had a really difficult time exercising it. In the past several years I have gained a great testimony of God's plan. I am sure of it, and sure of Him. I can't say that if I were faced with something devastating in my life that my faith might not waiver...but that truth still stands. God is in control...and although it's difficult to see...there are blessings in all our experiences. You have a great outlook on life....and I loved reading this post. Thank you. <br /><br />PS. One of my favorite books, that has brought me so much strength in times like this is called 'Receiving Answers to Our Prayers' by Gene R Cook. It's a simple and straight forward read, and the tactics are tried and true, at least for me. I refer to it often, it sits by my bedside...and I love it. <br /><br />Hang in there!Cinderella, the A-Train and Our Little Caboosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11174388533941278351noreply@blogger.com
