Welcome to the In Touch podcast with Charles Stanley for Thursday, April 24th. Is there something that is in the way of you trusting God completely?

Our Helps to Holiness series continues with practical instruction for maintaining confidence in God in the midst of real concerns.

If you had to write on one sheet of paper in the middle of that sheet of paper, one word,

and you had to write the area of your life that most concerns you, or what most concerns you,

what would you put in the middle of that paper in big capital letters?

If you could write one word, somebody would say, well, my major concern

this morning is my children. I don't know what's happening in the life of my children. Someone else

would say, my major concern this morning is my home, my entire home. I don't know what's

happening in my home. A student would say,

my major concern right now is trying to find out what God wants me to do. Here I am. I've graduated.

Don't have any earthly idea what I'm going to do. A mother may say, my major concern right now

is trying to decide, shall I go to work or

shall I not go to work. A businessman's major concern is his vocation. Can I really and truly

serve God like he wants me to serve him and still remain in business? Or someone may say,

my major concern this morning is my financial situation.

It looks like things are going from bad to worse, and I could be embarrassed, I may have to call

for bankruptcy.

That's the major concern of my life, because if I don't get that straightened out, my whole

Christian testimony could be wrecked.

A teenager's concern might be his own moral life.

The major concern of that teenage's life is his own morals.

Can he gain victory?
