Summary
In our third day focusing on what it means to be the child of God, we’re going to look at how we can live with childlike faith. One of the wonders of being children of the Creator and Sustainer of all, is our ability to let go of fear, and live with trust.
May you experience peace and courage today as you allow God to take burdens off of your shoulders, and live with childlike faith.
Our Scripture for today comes from Mark 10:15, and today's worship is Faithful Now by Vertical Worship.
