Guilt, pain, and failure are three of the most difficult experiences in our spiritual lives
What matters is we have a God who can always lift us out of the pit
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
God wants to be real to us–he wants us to see him through our own eyes.
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.
Through prayer, we can give God our stressed, afraid, and burdened hearts and find relief.
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 can open our hearts up to him by listening, talking, turning, and committing to being close to him.
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.
