With God by our side, we can endure and even conquer any trials life throws at us
The heart is powerful enough to determine the course of our lives: what we feel, what we say, and what we do.
Jesus endured the pressures of sin, and we can learn from him how to do the same.
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 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.
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.
What the Parable of the Persistent Friend teaches us about how to think about God and prayer.
By digging down deep, we start the process toward having a faith in God that is not easily shaken. However, depth takes work. It is not a personality trait or a natural talent, but rather a skill that must be worked at and developed over time.
Though in the moment our difficulties may feel like they are too much we can handle, God uses them as opportunities for us to grow.
When we live in denial of what we are struggling with or having a hard time overcoming, we get stuck, settle, and are never able to do the impossible God is ready to help us achieve.
