Do you long to feel closer to God? Are you searching for a faith that’s more than just going through the motions?
Let’s be honest: we often feel distant from God. We spend a lot more time looking like we’re faithful than living out a life-giving relationship. Our souls ache from the lack of intimacy. Something is missing. We know life isn’t supposed to be this way. What we really want is to know God and be known. We yearn for an honest, ongoing connection with God as a real person.
No marriage is perfect. But every marriage can get better. Do you feel like the spark is gone? Has a critical spirit invaded your marriage? Do you want more intimacy, but something is in the way? You could be suffering from the Perfection Infection.
Your emotions are not your enemy. They are a gift. Feelings are messy, and we all have different strategies for dealing with them—usually controlling, avoiding, or indulging them. But what if you allowed yourself to follow your feelings in prayer instead of trying to run from them?
We cannot go one day without hearing these words from friends, co-workers, family members, and sisters in Christ. No matter the season of life – college student, young mother, business executive, teacher, ministry leader, empty-nester, or retiree – we women long for margin, rest, and affirmation that all our efforts mean something. Does anyone even see, let alone appreciate, how HARD we are working? Surely, there must be a purpose beyond this daily grind that overwhelms our schedules and hearts.
Could you take a break from cooking (and everything else) once a week? Not only is rest vital for your mind and body, but it’s good for your soul, too. God designed us to enter into Sabbath rest one day per week, but as you know, meals still need to be made. Your family still needs to be fed. Kathi Lipp is on the show, providing an easy-to-follow process for meal planning and prep so that we can enjoy a full day each week of real rest and refreshment.
