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
To truly love God is to value and listen to his Words, just as we would in any other relationship we care about.
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.
The morning is a precious time to connect with God.
God notices what we go through, even if no one else does, and he wants to do something about our pain.
God is meant to be enjoyed, not just endured or feared.
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.
