Guilt, pain, and failure are three of the most difficult experiences in our spiritual lives
God will give us a new heart, a new way of thinking, and new strength to move forward
The heart is powerful enough to determine the course of our lives: what we feel, what we say, and what we do.
Returning to God is the only way we can stop living for people, stop being afraid of being different, and rediscover what it means to think differently.
We are not meant to carry our fears, guilt, insecurities, or anxieties alone.
God notices what we go through, even if no one else does, and he wants to do something about our pain.
We have a God who always keeps his promises, and we can find those promises in the Bible.
We need to acknowledge what is wearing us out, especially the ways in which we become focused on rules and behaviors.
It helps to remember an important quality of Jesus — that he is always with us.
Check out this week's Mini Quiet Time to learn from Jesus how to defeat your own doubts.
