Jesus gives us the ultimate example of how to love, connect, and have deep relationships.
What matters is we have a God who can always lift us out of the pit
Negative thoughts about ourselves can be debilitating and discouraging
God's thoughts are higher than and completely different from ours
God will give us a new heart, a new way of thinking, and new strength to move forward
One of the most amazing things about having a relationship with God is he frees us up to be ourselves
Through prayer, we can give God our stressed, afraid, and burdened hearts and find relief.
God is relational; he wants a friendship with us, not a religious performance.
It helps to remember an important quality of Jesus — that he is always with us.
