We all strive to take on better habits and to get into better life rhythms --- whether that’s working and resting, spending time with people and spending time alone or being present in the moment and investing in the future. But what happens when a disruption knocks us off course? Is there a way we can stay on rhythm when disruptions are both powerful and inevitable? One of the Apostle Paul’s prayers in the book of Colossians may just have the answer.

Sinkholes occur when underground streams drain away during seasons of drought, causing the ground at the surface to lose its underlying support.  Suddenly everything simply caves in. THIS week we’d like to turn our attention to the COMPETING DEMANDS of public and private life.  Because the sinkhole syndrome warns us that if we don’t get this RHYTHM right, the lives and homes and careers and ministries we’re building are in danger of collapse.

Difficult times are inevitable, but personal tragedy, disappointment and disillusionment don’t have to derail us. Could we invest in something now that will enable us to endure the adversity that is to come? Is there something God has written into the script of life that will give us the support we need to stand when the ground is shaking all around us? Proverbs17:16-20 might just have the answer.

Guest Speaker Scott Miller (Grace Chapel) shares that a centered heart is grateful, even when life is hard. Gratitude shapes our perspective and gives structure to our lives. In this season of life that continues to challenge us, we look to Psalm 107 for guidance in encouraging gratitude in our lives.

If prayer is a space that God has given us to enjoy him and find purpose to life, what happens when prayer doesn’t work? Is it possible that we who struggle with prayer might find a happiness in God that would bring life to our inner selves and to those around us? Is there something God wants us to know about ourselves that could free us from the mundane, strengthen our souls in the face of difficulties and bring gladness to our hearts? Journey with us through Psalm 32 as we learn that God has given us a way to access him even when we’re stuck in the muck.
