There's a myth that good Christians shouldn't struggle with hard emotions, that we should always be joyful and at peace. But the truth is that we live in a broken world where bad things happen to good people. We all struggle with hard emotions.

That’s exactly why this season on the Prayers of REST podcast we’re Praying Through Hard Emotions.

So often we’re embarrassed to admit that we struggle with anger, anxiety, or depression, but when we bring these emotions to God, when we’re honest with Him about the hard things we're facing, that's when He starts working.

When was the last time YOU talked with God about the hard emotions you're experiencing? If you’re dealing with guilt, anger, envy, loneliness, or any of dozens of hard emotions, then join us on October 11 as we:

• Recite God's Goodness
• Express Our Neediness
• Seek His Stillness, and
• Trust His Faithfulness 

I promise you that when you place these emotions in God’s hands, He will take what is hard and turn it into something good. That’s the way of our Good Father.
