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
One of the most amazing things about having a relationship with God is he frees us up to be ourselves
Jesus endured the pressures of sin, and we can learn from him how to do the same.
God doesn’t want any of us to go through storms alone.
In our moments of frustration and failure, we need to turn to God and his Word to find the strength to keep going.
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 need to acknowledge what is wearing us out, especially the ways in which we become focused on rules and behaviors.
We have dreams we want to see happen and visions we want to accomplish, but it takes a lot of energy to keep running toward them.
We all experience feeling stuck at times, whether it be in hardships, relationship conflicts, failures that follow us wherever we go, or guilt that feels too big for us to carry on our own.
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.
In today's Mini Quiet Time we'll look at Psalm 13, one of the psalms where David talked to God about some tough things but comes out closer to God as friends.
