"I have a strong belief in God" is a statement you hear many people say. This is easily said, but it is quite challenging to believe in God when you are in hardship. In doing anything, we must establish our faith and trust in God. If we are not going to make this a habit, we are likely to get into trouble the next time we face a test or at the time of trial.

I WANT TO share with you a lesson God has taught me and shown me in my Christian life. With all my heart, with all my strength to rest in him. Once I depended on him and put my trust in him, I began to understand his Word.

I have come to realize that if we do not put God first, whatever we do in life, including the meaning of our mere existence and purpose in life, are worthless. It is my prayer that through reading this book, you will understand the benefits of putting God first in your life.

If you desire to have a successful life, read this book with an open heart and mind and be willing to receive all that the Holy Spirit offers. To trust God is precisely where God wishes us to be.Proverbs 3:5 says, "Trust in the God with ALL your heart and lean not unto your own understanding."

It is my prayer that through reading this book, you will understand the benefits of putting God first in your life.
