We are not meant to carry our fears, guilt, insecurities, or anxieties alone.
God is relational; he wants a friendship with us, not a religious performance.
God notices what we go through, even if no one else does, and he wants to do something about our pain.
We need to acknowledge what is wearing us out, especially the ways in which we become focused on rules and behaviors.
When we’re worried, weary, or hurting, we need to know that God has our back; he loves and cares for us.
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.
It helps to remember an important quality of Jesus — that he is always with us.
A lot of the problems we get into in life come because we are searching for love—often in all the wrong places.
God wants to give us the help we need, but we have to be willing to be vulnerable enough to ask him for it.
We'll be vulnerable with God when we believe he loves us, is interested in us, and has a plan for us.
