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
Through prayer, we can give God our stressed, afraid, and burdened hearts and find relief.
When we get our happiness from God, we want to share that happiness with others.
When we have the certainty that God loves us completely for who we are, we can be satisfied no matter what.
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.
Happiness starts with a choice: where (or to whom) will we turn to find it?
Relying on an unchangeable God will help us stay steady and happy no matter what happens in our lives.
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.
