One of the many great things about having a personal friendship with God is that he satisfies.
Even when we face the impossible, we can still have faith because God can do anything.
God wants us to both have our own happy and satisfying life and to help others have an opportunity for that life, too.
As we walk closely with God, he makes us great too, giving us the power to live remarkable lives.
It helps to remember an important quality of Jesus — that he is always with us.
What is influencing you the most during this pandemic? Has it been the news, discouragement, your emotions, or God, the Bible, and spiritual friends?
In the midst of dealing with the ongoing stress of 2020 and the pandemic, it can be easy to just want to run away and hope all of our problems will be magically solved. But no matter where we run, our stress doesn’t leave us.
For such a time that we are in, we are given an incredible opportunity to not tread water spiritually, but to take advantage of everything that’s going on - to learn and to transform.
Without God giving us the strength to keep pushing through, we will become discouraged and fail under pressure.
