When our relationship with him is close, courage comes naturally because we trust God to protect us
What matters is we have a God who can always lift us out of the pit
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 is meant to be enjoyed, not just endured or feared.
God commands us not to give into our fear and reminds us that he will never fail us.
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.
Check out our new Mini Quiet Time, where in Psalm 32, David comes to God to help him deal with the clutter of his heart.
