Overwhelm feels inescapable. Having a heart that isn't weighed down with the weight and responsibilities that are on our shoulders seems impossible. 

That is precisely why I talked with my new friend Kara about her newly released devotional, An Untroubled Heart: Calming Anxiety and Finding God's Peace. Her heart is for us experience God in a real and intimate way that changes how we live our everyday lives. She wants us to realized the trust of Psalms 147: 3-5, seeing God as the personal yet powerful God that he is. Our Father in heaven who cares about every big or little thing that happens in our lives and longs for us to run to him for peace. And that's exactly what we talk about on today's episode. 

Kara is a writer, wife, and new adoptive mom living in Los Angeles, California.  Kara writes prayers and devotionals on her social media and has also written devotionals for Her True Worth, a women’s online ministry. Kara has her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Arizona State University and her master’s degree in counseling from Loyola University Chicago. After walking through a personal medical crisis and the loss of both of her parents to cancer, her life radically changed, and her complete dependency on God for strength and peace became a non-negotiable. Her hope is to encourage women in their faith, pointing them to their Great Comforter and Greatest Companion.

Key Takeaways: 

  • We can be honest with God about our emotions because He is personal yet powerful
  • There is so much freedom in being vulnerable with the Lord
  • Continually being in God’s word gives us peace and a strength that shifts our perspective
  • We must remain persistent in going to God in prayer, being in His word and being aware that we need to be with Him
  • God gives us the gift of peace that doesn’t make sense in our humanness, but is perfect in His power
