Lord, grant me the favor of being carried into Heaven with my quiver empty upon my dented and damaged shield.

"But by the grace of God I am what I am..."

Unfortunately, Jesus didn’t promise that this life would be without struggle, but He did promise that we would never face any circumstance alone! Whatever attack your life is facing today; relationships, addictions, finances, or even an actual bear attack (see Jim’s story) , If you will call on His name, He is faithful to run to your aid and save you.

“But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain…”
1 COR. 15:10(a)

In 2015 Jim VanSteenhouse survived a brutal grizzly bear attack. As he laid, bleeding out and waiting for death, he cried out to Jesus.

Jim’s cry was heard by God and miraculously he survived until a helicopter was sent to airlift him to the nearest hospital. Through his ordeal , Jim committed to God to inspire and encourage others all over the world to give their lives to Christ and through Him overcome their “bears” and find their God-given purpose on this planet.
