When we can’t see God at work within an old story to tell a better story, we can lose hope. But a perspective bigger than the present moment often leads to a new story full of God’s goodness.

When we don’t know where we came from or why we’re here, our story gets lost among every other story. But when we recover the unique source of our story, we also discover the meaning we long for.

When what we expect from the Bible doesn’t square with what we experience of the Bible, we can be tempted to abandon the Bible & the God it represents. But knowing the backstory of the Bible raises our confidence in the Bible and the God of life and love it reveals.

Nothing can change the bad things that happened to you, but God cares. His heart is broken by the bad things that happen in our world, and his love is capable of healing your broken heart.

Focusing on negative thoughts perpetuates the world's system of death and destruction in us and around us. But when our thoughts are directed by God’s Spirit, we operate as God’s agents of life and peace in the world.

When we focus on the worry, we let our minds run wild with it. When we focus on our Father’s love and provision, we wake up to a God who is with us and working for our good.

I can feel beaten down until I even despair of life itself. But my feelings aren’t forever. God always provides help and hope when I need a way out.

Our overwhelming culture can lead us to be anxious about many things. But, we are not alone in our anxiety and we can practice an anxious free life that God invites us into.

Jesus is enough but my current capacity for trusting Jesus may not be. God makes help available when something blocks my access to peace while I’m learning to trust him more.
