Life is just . . . a lot. Relationships are hard. Responsibilities are piled high. And it seems like all the things are distracting you from the very best things of all. There’s little time left for yourself–or for connecting with Jesus. No wonder you feel anxious in your mind and hurried in your heart. You desperately long for calm amidst your clamoring duties, stacked schedule, and life’s unexpected circumstances. But where do you begin? More than anything else, your heart needs a refreshing encounter with God each day. Ruth Schwenk is on the show offering us a way forward so we can experience the confident calm we crave. Join us to face life with God’s peace and renewed strength. Discover the calming reassurance of God, who is the only One who can truly be trusted in all the things.
Quotes:
“How can we live with peace in the midst of the worries of life?”
“Make a list of what you’re worried about and surrender those things to the Lord.”
“It’s a daily walk where we surrender our control and wills to God.”
“God is in control so we don’t have to be.”
“We can have a confident calm knowing that God is who He says He is. He will take care of us.”
“When you know who God is you can trust His plans for you.”
“The time we spend with God today matters for how we will feel tomorrow.”
“When we face hard things in life it really exposes what we think about God.”
“If we allow it to, suffering can actually draw us closer to Christ because we understand His suffering better. Our suffering unites us with His suffering.”
“In all that Jesus went through, the Father was always with Him. He’s also with us.”
“You will get through this and God will use it.”
“When we go through hard things we either turn to God or turn away from Him. We can start to see the hard things as an opportunity to get to know God more.”
“Suffering has opened my eyes to what other people are going through.”
“You don’t have to hold everything all together because God already is and He does it better than we ever could.”
“You are not alone.”
To be a love offering: “In our pain, we can offer comfort to others. Walk toward someone else’s pain instead of away from it. Pray for others and pray with others. Keep showing up.”
