One of the defining crises of midlife is refusing to admit the truth to ourselves that we’re getting older.”
Confronting the moments when we think, act, respond, and make decisions as if God were not real and present in our lives.
The idea of control gives us the illusion that we can prevent, manage, and will our lives towards certain outcomes.
There are many things that aim to undermine our faith: our guilt, different diagnoses, depression, anxiety, fear, and various circumstances. God wants to build our faith and confidence to be so strong it can handle anything thrown our way.
Faith is not a destination. We don’t arrive. Faith is a journey, and if done correctly each day, the journey will be fascinating.
