Have you ever noticed that you can point out twenty or thirty things you do not like about yourself almost immediately, but when someone asks you to name a few things you truly love about yourself, it suddenly becomes difficult? For many women, criticizing ourselves comes naturally. We notice every flaw, every insecurity, every failure, every extra pound, every wrinkle,…
Finding God’s Peace Within First For many years, I thought keeping the peace meant staying quiet, avoiding conflict, and making sure everyone around me was okay. I believed that if I could just keep everyone happy and prevent tension, then there would be peace in my home. But over time, I realized I was not actually creating peace. I was…
Life has a way of bringing moments that try to shake you. Disappointments come, doors close, and sometimes you find yourself wondering if you have what it takes to keep going. But here is the truth you need to hold onto today. That is not your identity. You are not someone trying to survive life. You are more than a…
“It is finished.” Three powerful words that changed everything. When Jesus spoke those words on the cross, He wasn’t giving up, He was declaring that the work was complete. For so many of us, we’re still living like there’s something left to prove, something left to earn, or something we have to fix on our own. We carry guilt, shame,…
Rest is often misunderstood. We live in a world that praises hustle, productivity, and always doing more. Somewhere along the way, rest started to feel lazy or unproductive. But the truth is—rest is not weakness. Rest is wisdom. And rest takes faith. From the very beginning, God modeled rest. He created, and then He rested. Not because He was tired,…
Over the last few years, I have noticed the Lord gently nudging my heart to pause, look back, and remember His goodness. It’s so easy to get swept up in the noise of life — the hard moments, the unexpected challenges, the heaviness in the world around us. But something powerful happens when we make a choice to shift our…
Are You Defeating Yourself and Your Prayers? Have you ever prayed with all your heart, only to turn around and speak the opposite of what you just believed God for? We’ve all done it. We pray, “Lord, I know You’re my provider,” and then five minutes later say, “I’ll never get out of debt.” Or we ask God to change…
Have you ever stopped to think about what’s coming out of your mouth? I don’t mean your morning coffee breath—I mean your words. So often, we pray for one thing but then turn around and speak the opposite. We ask God to bless our finances, but then we say, “I’m always broke.” We pray for healing and then tell everyone…
“Do this, knowing that this is a critical time. It is already the hour for you to awaken from your sleep [of spiritual complacency]; for our salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed [in Christ]. The night [this present evil age] is almost gone and the day [of Christ’s return] is almost here. So let us…
“In the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of Godliness but denying the power…
