God wants to give us the help we need, but we have to be willing to be vulnerable enough to ask him for it.
Vulnerability is usually not the first thing we associate with being strong, but the Bible tells us true strength actually comes from embracing our weaknesses.
We'll be vulnerable with God when we believe he loves us, is interested in us, and has a plan for us.
In this week's Mini Quiet Time, we'll look at a story where Jesus had to choose to be vulnerable and what came as a result of his decision.
In the Parable of the Sower, Jesus makes it clear that a relationship with him is about understanding.

Have you ever felt like you were stuck in a dark and completely unfamiliar place?
What is influencing you the most during this pandemic? Has it been the news, discouragement, your emotions, or God, the Bible, and spiritual friends?
By digging down deep, we start the process toward having a faith in God that is not easily shaken. However, depth takes work. It is not a personality trait or a natural talent, but rather a skill that must be worked at and developed over time.
When we get “used” to being a Christian and know what the Bible says, we end up reading and analyzing the Scriptures without seeing God for who he is. The power and hope the scriptures talk about only comes with a real and engaging relationship with God.
Journaling is a great way to help us navigate the emotions we feel, but we have to make sure to use this incredible tool spiritually.
