Never going to give up on God
What am I doing wrong when I believe God‘s word for my life and yet there are a lot of people who absolutely love the Lord like I do with illnesses who are not healed? My question is, does it mean they may not be healed on earth, but some are healed in heaven when they die from the illness?
I have trouble answering people’s questions at times. A lot of the questions are if God is so good why do you still have MS?
I am always thinking and asking God questions. I’m not exactly sure what to put here. God, Why am I bold at times, and other times I stumble over my words when I’m witnessing?

Deuteronomy 6:6-9 - Living in God’s will
2 Timothy 4:7 - Fighting the Good fight
There is always a starting line. In our faith, our starting line is when God calls us into a relationship with Him. You can never cross the finish line if you never start the race. Describe your starting line. Where did your testimony begin?
Your race depends on your training. Our race of faith requires training. Pray about the following areas of spiritual discipline. How does your training need to improve so that you can run your race in the manner God intended?
Describe the way you felt the last time you crossed a finish line. If you were to die tonight and cross the ultimate finish line of this life into eternity, would you be able to say like Paul, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith”?
