In this episode I share 5 of my favorite scriptures and talk about why and how they have helped me.

We don’t have to get ourselves together before going to God. He is our doctor, healer, therapist, friend, provider, and creator. We can be open and honest with him and he will still love us.

Bad days come and bad days go but God is faithful. The worry is real and so is the fear. When you do have “one of those days”, lean into Jesus.

Living life with all the stress, pressure, desires, and thoughts that don’t necessarily align with Christ's plan for us is already a challenge. Adding work, school, and other environments that aren’t christ centered is another added layer. This is a quick chat between my sister and I about how managing our thoughts can help.

The bible references peace 429 times in 400 verses. It is clear peace is the gift Jesus gives that the world cannot, yet many of us are troubled, worried, and anxious. This is just a little reminder to accept that gift of peace.

This is just a quick reminder that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in life, goals, comparison, and self criticism we lose sight of how God feels about us. I pray this good word brightens up your week!

Conviction is that feeling that prompts you to apologize, be quiet, or even speak up. Sometimes it's a gentle prompting, sometimes it's a very clear feeling or warning. It's never easy being told you’ve done something wrong or you need to make a change. But conviction is necessary, it is the way God corrects us and keeps us on the right path. Instead of sitting in the feelings of guilt, shame, ego, or pride that sometimes accompany conviction, we should lean in and listen.

Change can be intimidating, it can be tough, it can even be scary. But there is nothing scarier than waking up and being in the exact same place you were last year or the year before that…. or the year before that. Instead of fearing change or failure, let’s move in the spirit of power, love, and self-discipline given to us by God.

As we get settled into the new year let's be intentional in our relationship with Jesus. Let's schedule time for fasting and prayer. Let's spend time and consider what God wants from us instead of being so wrapped up in what we want for us.
