No matter how impossible that miracle you are praying for seems, please trust that only God knows the full story. He is working. He is hearing and shifting and intervening and convicting and stirring and doing what only He can do.

When I sit quietly with God instead of trying to figure everything out, He takes my anxiety & replaces it with His peace, wisdom & security.

A prayer of trust and surrender for any heart that is hurting tonight:

Lord, these devastating circumstances have left me so weary. But the truth of Your love leaves me hopeful. I’m trusting in Your plans for me and I’m lifting up these words to You — not my will, but Yours.

God does some of His best work in the unseen.

What you’re seeing around you right now isn’t the whole story. Don’t feel like if things didn’t work out today, that God’s not working.

Keep pressing on. Keep believing God. Keep trusting that His way is the best way.

We pray not because God needs our suggestions. God already knows what we need before we ask Him.

We pray because He sees the bigger picture while we only see a sliver.

We pray because we have limited perspectives, limited thoughts, & limited views.

We pray because we need Him.

Today, instead of feeling guilty for who you’re not, I pray God will help you celebrate who you are.

Dear Lord, You made me in Your image & that is something I seem to forget daily. Help me remember to celebrate & live in who You made me to be & not in what I wish I was. Amen.

Any time we feel it may be easier to go it on our own and not bring a decision back to God’s Word, we must recognize that thinking for what it is — a lie from Satan.

The Word of God is our handbook for living. Let’s keep it close and use it as a light unto our path every day.

Sometimes to get your life back, you have to face the death of what you thought your life would look like.

God has a good plan in mind, sweet friend. But it’s probably not going to look anything like the one of our own design.

Here’s two questions we can ask ourselves before we say 'yes' to one more thing:

- How will this “yes” feel two weeks, two months or six months from now?
- Is this 'yes' connected to people-pleasing in any way?
When we can plan for what’s realistic, we won’t end up overextended.

You don’t have to pray perfectly crafted prayers for the Lord to hear you or for Him to move on your behalf.

And if all you have today are tears? Simply bring those.

Every now & then I’ll catch glimpses of beauty that feel so right. I wonder if these are like arrows pointing us heavenward. Little reminders to our soul that Glory is real & God is good.

God's not far from us. Evidence of His presence is all around us just waiting to be seen.

Even when we don’t understand, we must trust God’s timing is perfect.

Remember, “not yet” doesn’t mean “not ever.”

Keep holding on, friend. God isn’t done with your story.

Whenever we get lost in what feels too hard and our thoughts start to veer off into an unhealthy place, we can remember God is unchanging, always true, and never fails to follow through on His promises to us.

Most people are processing some kind of pain we don’t know about.

Please be gentle.

They need to see Jesus in us. They need to know that there are still good people in the world.

“Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near,” Philippians 4:5.

God is good. His plans are good. His salvation is good. His grace is good. His forgiveness is good. His restoration is good.

God knows things we don’t. And that means we can trust His perspective instead of our own understanding.

Heavenly Father, we confess we spend far too much time trying to figure things out on our own. Remind us that You and You alone are the one we need to turn to.

Don’t despise the mundane, sweet friend. Embrace it. Unwrap it like a gift. And be one of the rare few who looks deeper than just the surface. See something more in the everyday. It’s there.
