God wants to be real to us–he wants us to see him through our own eyes.
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 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.
God commands us not to give into our fear and reminds us that he will never fail us.
The parables of Jesus show that he understands you, can help you understand yourself, and help you understand God.
We need to acknowledge what is wearing us out, especially the ways in which we become focused on rules and behaviors.
Even when we face the impossible, we can still have faith because God can do anything.
We can open our hearts up to him by listening, talking, turning, and committing to being close to him.
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.
