We are honest about God Himself or the true teaching word. We are honest to confess our sin; even in all things, saying yes if yes and no if no.

We trust, cry, and lift up our hands to God.
As a result, God will stretch out the hands of His great mercy, so physical and spiritual miracles happen. The impossible thing becomes possible, failure becomes success, and God is able to create something that does not exist yet. All of our problems are finished by God.
The last miracle is that we are changed to become as perfect as He is to greet Jesus when He comes on the glorious clouds.
God blesses us.
