Our society is designed to keep us rushing around in malcontent, waiting for something more. A better job, a newer car, a bigger house, our own private island, the chance to rule to world. Enough is never enough because there is always more.
Does God answer bold prayers? On December 23, 1944, General Patton sought God for help through prayer. What can we learn from his prayer?
Well, the cold moved in this week. For some, this may not be a particularly big deal; however, the cold and I have never gotten along. There is just something about it that makes me angry. Perhaps it is because it can beat you up and you can’t do anything about it.
Living in faith does not mean that we should not fear the storms. That is merely human nature. It does, however, mean that we should never accuse God of not caring.
America is divided, not because we disagree, but because we have forgotten just how important those disagreements are to the core foundation of our country. We were built on the idea that differing ideas, beliefs, and viewpoints would make this country great. That freedom to have those beliefs would keep us alive!
We must learn to replace our instinctual reaction to fear with the constant action of praying and laying down our burdens at the feet of Jesus. When we replace fear with prayer, God promises to bring us peace and to guard our hearts and minds against the destructive consequences of fear.
Many of us face physical battles, illness, depression, anxiety, and other disabilities that interfere with our daily life. Yet, God can use our limitations for his Glory!
We have all experienced pain, failure, disappointment, abuse, and disasters. But, these circumstances don’t have to define how we think of ourselves.
We see perfectly scripted lives play out in real-time on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. After watching and scrolling past countless pictures of manufactured happiness, wealth, and success, we believe ourselves unworthy. But, our real lives have so much more to offer!
The battle for our mind is a fight that most of us are familiar with. We all fall prey to self-judgment and the belief that we are not worthy. We all struggle to stay positive, keep motivated, and turn away the darker thoughts that want to take control of our lives by spreading lies that taint our minds with negative ideas about ourselves and our circumstances.
