The heaviness of this world and the things that are going on all around us can feel overwhelming and weigh us down. Those feelings and that heaviness are not ours, we are not meant to carry that load. Give it over to God and ask Him to take it, and I assure you that He will.

This year has been a crazy one, to say the least. My question to you is, where is your heart? Are you focused on the things of this world and what the media is focusing on, or are you focusing on the things above and what God says?

No matter what life throws at us, God is on control. Satan loves to get into our heads to think what we have isn't good enough compared to the next person, especially on social media. What does God's word say about that though?

Trusting God when our lives don't look like what He has promised can be scary. But, we are called to live by faith and not walk by sight. Let's see what God says bout trusting Him.

It can be easy to judge people for not being up to our "standards". We can see people as "less than". But, none of us are perfect. We have all fallen short of the glory of God. Because God is such a good father, He has shown us His grace and mercy. We are expected to do the same.

It is hard to always give a person (or people) grace when they have done us wrong. It can be so easy to say "they deserve it" or "well they did this to me", and to make excuses for why we are reacting they way we are. But God has called His people higher. He has called us to show grace and love even when they don't deserve it. He paid the ultimate sacrifice for us all.

My heart has felt heavy lately. I feel as though God has forgotten me and His promises. But isn't that when Satan loves to come in the most? When we are feeling weak and "down". But God...

Being in the middle of a storm, whether it be a physical storm or a storm in our lives, how do you feel? Are you scared, anxious, worried? Or are you calm, have peace and have a solid foundation. We may feel as if we have hit rock bottom, but guess who's the rock at the bottom? God.

It can be scary wondering what God is doing in your life and how He is working. He is most likely asking you to do things out of your comfort zone, are you ready? God wants to take you higher with Him, to soar to new heights and experience all that He has truly created you for. Are you willing to go all in and trust Him?

It can be challenging waiting on God, wondering what He is doing or going to do in your life. I challenge you to not focus on when God is going to show up, but to focus on praising His name through it. Thanking Him for what He has already blessed you with, and what He is going to bless you with.
