It's not always easy to admit to ourselves or others when we have given up on something
What matters is we have a God who can always lift us out of the pit
God's thoughts are higher than and completely different from ours
While it isn’t wrong to feel angry, God can give us the power to handle this emotion in a spiritual and helpful way.
God doesn’t want any of us to go through storms alone.
Through prayer, we can give God our stressed, afraid, and burdened hearts and find relief.
God notices what we go through, even if no one else does, and he wants to do something about our pain.
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.

In this week's Mini Quiet Time, we'll look at a story where Jesus had to choose to be vulnerable and what came as a result of his decision.
