Faith to Move Mountains

February 21, 2023
Devotional by Arlene Sewell | February 21, 2023

"Some of you are experiencing mountains of juggling work, school, family, callings, and learning a new language/culture, or dealing with a personal trial. Whatever the mountains that you are facing at this time in your life, do your best and keep the faith knowing that things do come to pass. Be grateful for the opportunity that you have to rely on the Lord and what he is teaching you."
