Christian hope is anchored in the truth that we have a future not that we always know the future. #jesus

Suffering either drives us away from God or draws us close to God. #InABoat

[Patrick Schwenk @patrickschwenk]

God is up to something far more important than just our comfort. #InABoat

[Patrick Schwenk @patrickschwenk]

If we don’t trust God, inevitably, we will try to be God. And we’ll try to control what only he can control. #InABoat

[Patrick Schwenk @patrickschwenk]

If we are to move toward healing, we need to remember that God is okay with our hurt. #InABoat

[Patrick Schwenk @patrickschwenk]

As we learn to trust God’s control and his wisdom and his love, we find freedom in letting go. #InABoat

[Patrick Schwenk @patrickschwenk]

The obedience God is after is not just an external conformity to what he says. It’s an inward alignment of our heart with his, even when we don’t understand what he is doing or why he is doing it. #InABoat

At some point in our lives we will encounter a storm. @patrickschwenk been living that storm – both through his wife’s five miscarriages and his own cancer diagnosis. He talks with us about what it is like to live in the midst of such suffering.

There is no end to God’s wisdom. He sees what we don’t see yet. He knows what we are ignorant of. Nothing catches him by surprise. He is not only confidently in control, but he knows more than we do. #InABoat

[Patrick Schwenk @patrickschwenk]

God is still looking for people to be different—men and women and boys and girls who are willing to walk by faith. Will you be the one to stand out and listen to God, even when no one else does? #FaithForwardFamily

[Patrick Schwenk @patrickschwenk]

Trusting God requires more than just believing he is in control. It also requires believing he knows best. #InABoat

[Patrick Schwenk @patrickschwenk]

Only a friendship with God can truly make us happy. It’s a friendship that promises joy, peace, and hope that will never go away! #FaithForwardFamily

[Patrick Schwenk @patrickschwenk]

@SammyAdebiyi 🤣 I had the same exchange with a neighbor...”Thank you?”

[Patrick Schwenk @patrickschwenk]

What God wants from us is our hearts. He wants us to love Him and trust Him more than anything else. #FaithForwardFamily

[Patrick Schwenk @patrickschwenk]

Right now, when it feels like our world is spinning out of control, God is not scared. Our crisis on earth is not a crisis in heaven. #InABoat

[Patrick Schwenk @patrickschwenk]

It is God’s work. His timing. He is faithful to accomplish all of His plans and purposes. We must wait on Him. Trust Him. Obey Him. Do things His way. Whether we are young or old, His power is at work in us and through us! #FaithForwardFamily

[Patrick Schwenk @patrickschwenk]

Growth is gradual. And growth is also painful. We always like the promise of growth more than the process of growth. #InABoat

[Patrick Schwenk @patrickschwenk]

From the very beginning, God was creating a world where He could be known. A world to be enjoyed by His creation. And that was just the beginning! Soon we’ll see how God is creating a world where we are invited to join Him in all He is doing. #FaithForwardFamily
