Here is a spiritual checkup we can use to reflect on what our social media usage might be telling us about our hearts.
Trusting God helps me lower my defenses and listen to him as he helps me become the person I’m meant to be.
As long as our hearts have the entitlement mentality, personal growth in our relationship with God and with others will cease.
Learning how to deal with frustration Biblically is key to taming the anxiety that often accompanies anger.
What would it be like if you weren't bitter? Would you be positive and hopeful, more pleasant to be around? What hurts, regrets, or disappointments have you been unable to move past?
God exerts and expresses an unwavering perseverance when he sees our good days having gone bad. He doesn’t stop loving us when we fail, sin, or give up.
This is a lesson for all of us about running and quitting. Before we “give up the ghost,” maybe we should check with God to find out if he has a plan.
The goal for today is to prepare your heart and mind to let go, whoever it is against, whatever was done, and wherever it happened.
There is one thing to remember about God: when he speaks, more often than not, it is in a whisper.
When we pray and hear our own emotions, we often identify the raging irrationality of what we are saying, and are surprised by the gentleness of God who listens, then draws even closer to us, because of our emotional honesty.
We can be sure of is this, no matter how far we run or how much we sleep, God will keep waking us up.
Resist the temptation to let fear induced stress make us quit for relief. Instead, rely on God to get through, realizing fear is an emotion we can conquer especially when it is based on tomorrows that may never come.
