The more difficult our day, the more help we need. It's proportional. Have you ever thought about asking God for more help on those days? I really hadn’t!

Part of our work is to remember to reach out and ask for the strength, peace, patience, etc that we need. He will hear us. Just add God'...

This episode reminds us that all the help we have, all t...
