I always felt like I needed to push myself to do everything on my own. That I shouldn’t rely on others because I didn’t want to bother them. This felt heavy.  Consequently, it made me struggle in my relationship with Jesus—not feeling like I should depend on him—until I learned that living in humility through…

Joseph ended up in prison. Naomi lost her husband and sons. Daniel was in a lion’s den to be put to death. Maybe you too have been following God faithfully, but things have turned out so badly. You might even be questioning why you still follow him… and wonder whether you should walk away.  But…

I don’t always like myself. I can say the wrong things to someone or hurt someone unintentionally. I can get frustrated when I want to be patient. I can complain instead of rejoicing in the Lord. I fall short of the glory of God everyday and am so aware of it… and want to change. …

Were you mistreated by someone you love? Maybe it was your parent, spouse, or a close friend that you expected to always treat you well. This is devastating, and it’s hard to move past the hurt.  Now you are holding a grudge and you want to know how to let go of resentment to repair…

Are you struggling with fear? Fear can make you feel trapped, paralyzed, unable to move forward; it can steal your peace and consume your mind. Maybe you are in a place now where you just don’t know what to do to break free of this fear anymore; maybe you feel hopeless.  God’s word holds the…

It feels so crippling and hard to constantly fend off these thoughts.  But winning the battle in your mind is possible. God sees you and wants to fight this battle for you. So much…

Do your circumstances seem impossible? Maybe you have been praying for a while now, but aren’t seeing anything happen. Maybe you’re losing hope that God will act on your behalf. But God is a miracle worker. No circumstance is too big for him to handle. He can move in powerful ways for you, beyond anything…

Have you ever been deeply hurt by a friend? Maybe they were not there for you when you needed them the most; they didn’t keep their promise to you; or they lied to you. When a friend hurts you deeply, it’s life shattering. It can feel like you are all alone with nowhere to turn…

It was months of seeing nothing happening. I was desperately seeking a clear answer for God’s will. But it was in the silence one day that I heard a “no,” that this was not his will. Tears streamed down my cheeks. My hopes and dreams were crushed.  When God says no, it can be hard…
