Stay Strong

-

I know how anxious we all are to get 2020 behind us.


But friends here’s the thing... 2021 may be more of the same. When I consider that we may have the same, or even more trials, I’ll be honest… I feel a twinge of despair. 


Do you feel it too? 


I think it’s okay to feel less than desirable emotions. It’s important to acknowledge them, but we cannot stay in that place. When I feel like that, I very quickly remind myself that God is still good, and He is still on His throne. That will never change.


I have shared this message more than a few times, but today, I feel it’s important to say it again.


God is good. He is the same today, as He was yesterday, and will be tomorrow. Remember that He sees the big picture, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28


Hold on to that.


Whenever I feel even a moment of despair, I think back to how once, I trusted Him with my son’s life. Though I begged God to save Isaiah’s life, I knew that if he died, we would still be okay, and that God would remain good.  I trusted Him to choose the best outcome for my good and His glory. 


You can do that too. 


We can choose to trust Him regardless of who is president, how long Covid lasts, who lives, who dies, through civil unrest, and anything we may face from day to day.


Stay strong my friends. We can do this together, with help of the One who created us and lives inside of us today.

Should Someone Call an Exorcist?

Last Friday I went bowling with some of my family. I am aware of my low skill level, so I remained humble throughout the first game, and surprisingly finished in 1st place!  The second game began and I just knew I would dominate even more. I may not have been quite as humble. I was last on the list to go. I stood up and approached my ball with confidence. I picked it up, set my eye on the center arrow painted on the lane, then took a few quick steps forward just as I had before.  As I took my last step, I swung my arm backward, then forward, and fell flat on my face. Actually, flat is not entirely accurate. I’m pretty sure every one of my limbs flew in a different direction, and the position of my head may have had folks wondering if they should call an exorcist. I also seemed to be temporarily blinded from the fall but could hear my ball bouncing its way down the lane. Let’s pause for a moment of prayer. The problem was that I had stepped over the foul line into the lane— 1. Not reali

The Complexity of Prayer

Have you ever considered the complexity of prayer? Have you ever had something you needed to pray about, but you just couldn’t bring yourself to talk to God about whatever the issue was? I have experienced that many times. I will call it “Prayer paralysis.” Prayer paralysis happens when you are afraid of any answer God might give you. If He says no, then you might feel bad, or sad, or even angry. If He says yes, then your fear factor increases because you just don’t think you can handle what a “Yes” entails (which essentially means that you don’t trust Him). So instead of revealing your lack of trust (Like seriously, you don’t think He knows? ), you just don’t pray. It’s kind of like when you were a little kid, and you would sit still and close your eyes, thinking that it would make you invisible. God already knows our fears of failure, self-pride, and even our trust issues, so we might as well just go ahead and lay it all at His feet. There’s another kind of prayer paralysis that I ha

  Anyone struggling with anxiety? I have struggled with it quite a bit. Then, I realize that forgetting to bring all of my anxiety-inducing problems to God, is a big part of the problem. Yesterday I talked about living in endurance mode. Part of that is taking all of the difficult things, and trying to wait them out.  If I really think about it, I may have subconsciously believed that struggling is just part of the journey and that I need to suck it up, because Jesus went through way more than I ever will.    But, “ Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” (Matt. 11:28)  He never intended for us to hold onto them. Sometimes we don’t bother saying anything to God because, well, He knows what’s happening. He can change it if He wants to. So we sit paralyzed—enduring! Is that familiar to anyone? Though He could whisk our struggles away at any time, part of the journey, part of our relationship with the Creator is rooted in commu
