• Agree that all things are possible for those who believe.

• “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13). “…but with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26).

• God is the giver of good gifts.

• God is a loving Father who wants to give us good things.

• God is for you and not against you or mad at you.

• God is not causing the bad things that we see happening in the world.

• God wants to give us the desires of our heart and wants to do this as our heart becomes more like His (Psalm 37:4).

• God wants to give you hope, a future, and not harm you. He longs to see you prosper and succeed (Jeremiah 29:11).

• You are truly a new creation in Christ, and old things no longer have power over you unless you allow them to.
