Many of us have heard sermon after sermon and sang song after song about the power of God and yet we still live unaffected by it because we see it as some abstract theological thing. God‘s power is not some abstract theological thing; it is your hope right now no matter who you are and what you are facing. And yet, we don’t often take the time to unpack that which we say we believe. We become so familiar with these deeply beautiful and amazing truths and doctrines that they fail to move us as they should. This is heartbreakingly sad because our lives are shaped and directed by what has us in awe. Since we have been hardwired for awe, something will always capture the awe capacity of our hearts, and what has captured our hearts has control over us.” - Kyra Gold

Dear Sisters in Emotional Pain: 5 Soul Care Prayer Prompts to Point You to the Hope in Christ

How many of you have been feeling weary lately? Or even for a while? Maybe you’ve been growing weary or discouraged in a specific area of your life. Maybe that has been so blinding you’ve forgotten the perfect God who promises to be with you. Maybe you’ve been praying for something and have been in what feels like an extended season of heartbreak. Maybe you’ve been begging God for healing and it feels like the waiting will never end. Maybe you’ve felt helplessly stuck in the tension of knowing God is in control but feeling like everything is out of control. Maybe you do not want to admit these things because you believe you shouldn't have any issues at this point in your walk with God. Well I want to remind you that spiritual maturity does not act as a shield to pain, suffering, rejection or hardship.
