5 ways to make our spirits bright, no matter what
In our moments of frustration and failure, we need to turn to God and his Word to find the strength to keep going.
Check out this week's Mini Quiet Time to learn from Jesus how to defeat your own doubts.
God brings stability and support when we feel like we’re spinning out of control.
God wants us to evaluate ourselves by how deep and strong our faith is. He doesn’t evaluate our spiritual condition by looking at how we appear on the surface. The depth of our faith determines how much of a difference we can make in the lives of those around us.
Jesus' life was a powerful example and inspiring blueprint that guides us in living a life of faith that changes the world.
Tests, pressure, setbacks, failure, and trouble can expose the condition of our faith. We need Bible verses about resilience to help us believe that those challenges don’t have to own us.
Use these scriptures on decision making to adopt God’s perspective of what’s important and what’s not.
Fearless people have tenacity, which is the ability to keep fighting for something, and to believe you can win.
Believing in the “Spirituality of Jesus” means believing he is intimately guiding our lives. Spirituality becomes a way of life.

This grieving doubt had an emotional effect on Jesus as Scripture says he was “deeply moved” (John 11:33,38).
