Pr 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Accept Him as your Lord and personal Saviour…. and all the other things – blessings, prosperity, good husband, healing and deliverance, etc, etc, - will automatically follow. May the good lord bless you and help you to put your trust in Him only from now and forever more.
