At times we have to leave the people, places, and things that feel like home. Learning to trust God always goes with us helps us make it through the anxiety and fear when we have to do so.
Some days it’s really hard to believe Jesus was raised from the dead or that his resurrection matters today. On those days, how do we keep trusting God?
We often expect God to show up with trumpet fanfare, in miracles, in the equivalent of Easter Sunday mornings. But more often God shows up disguised as our everyday lives.
All of us struggle with worries and anxiety at times. Jesus did, too. Listen in to hear more about the healthy coping mechanisms Jesus employed in the most anxious week of his life.
Some days it’s easy to have hope and trust God’s presence in our lives. Other days, it’s a struggle just to get out of bed. No matter what we’re experiencing, God had good news for each and all of us.
So often our questions are ladened with assumptions about others. Jesus invites us to consider why we ask the questions we ask and to have compassion and empathy for others.
Our emotions are gifts from God which help us understand our deepest needs, but sometimes we struggle to listen to what they’re really saying. God invites us to look plumb the depths of our emotions and share what we find with others and with God.
Change is part of life, yet we often fight it. How can we learn to listen and lean into change when it comes? How can we learn to trust God is with us and will bless us through the change?
Sometimes God asks us to obey and at other times we are called to disobey. Learning to discern the Holy Spirit’s leading can help us know which way to go.
