The two least credible sentences:
1. "The check is in the mail."
2. "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help you."

Mark 9:23-24
23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief .
KJV

Perhaps today you are facing a difficult time and need credible sentences from God to help you along the way. Just as the man who admitted he believed in Christ, yet had difficulty with that belief, you may need assurance. Look to the Word of God.
Isa 40:29
29 He giveth power to the faint ; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
KJV
Spurgeon speaks of an evening when he was riding home after a heavy day's work. He felt weary and depressed, when as suddenly as a lightning flash came this verse, "My grace is sufficient for thee." He said, "I should think it is, Lord," and he burst out laughing. It seemed to make unbelief so absurd.
He said, "It was as if some little fish, being very thirsty, was troubled about drinking the river dry, and the river says, 'Drink away, little fish, my stream is sufficient for thee.' Or, it seemed like a little mouse in the granaries of Egypt after seven years of plenty fearing it might die of famine, and Joseph might say, 'Cheer up, little mouse, my granaries are sufficient for thee.' Again, I imagined a man away up on yonder mountain saying to himself, 'I fear I shall exhaust all the oxygen in the atmosphere.' But the earth might say, 'Breathe away, oh man, and fill thy lungs ever; my atmosphere is sufficient for thee.' "
The love and grace of God are inexhaustible. The reservoir of God's strength can never be expended.
Little faith will bring our souls to heaven, but great faith will bring heaven to us.
Love ya,
