I'm afraid of change
We organize our lives around our kids, our jobs, our marriage. But when those things change, it can be scary. Changes can seem like giant mountains to us in times like these. Nothing feels safe.
I feel like a failure
Failure does not rule over us. Every person belongs to God. He created us. He cares for us. He calls us by name. Say goodbye to your old life and become something greater than yourself.
I feel lonely
God is in our lonely places. Remember Jacob? “God you were in this place, but I never knew.”
If you and I care enough to help and heal our neighbors, we will see our own help and healing, too.
I Want It That Way
The popular 90s band Backstreet Boys sang "I want it that way."
Think about this next time you say the Lord's prayer. "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." You're saying, "I want it that way." But what are you doing to bring a little heaven down to earth?
Don't Stop Believin'
Faith requires courage. The courage to follow Christ. The courage to look at what Christ stands for. Faith requires the courage to tell someone that God doesn’t need their help to rewrite a new story for them. The courage to believe that no matter what my situation is, God is not bound by those parameters. Faith is standing firm upon the idea that God is the only one who can make a way where there is no way.
