So when you dealing with a situation you feel is worse than someone else’s where is that Faith God is looking for? Where is that hope and optimism?

You must set your mind right, Set your children’s mind right, set everybody’s mind right.
When your head right and you see somebody else head ain’t right, you be like brother where your mind at? (Job 22:29, Hebrews 12:12, Isaiah 35:3) The Scripture says the head that hang down you supposed to lift up. Strengthen the Feeble knees
