Keep praying, sweet parents. Because the prayers we pray for our kids never die. They linger. They walk with our kids throughout their life. And they’re heard by the Creator of the universe. Isn’t that a comforting thought?

A prayer of surrender to start this new year: Yes, Lord. I will go where You want me to go. I will pause when You want me to pause. I will pray the dangerous prayers of change. I will say yes to Your invitations that make no sense. I will. Just because You ask me to.

There's something so beautiful about a woman rising up in the middle of being deeply hurt & demonstrating the beauty of still choosing to walk out biblical truth. Still choosing to honor God. Still choosing to look like she spent time with Jesus.

A prayer of complete surrender we can pray: I trust You, Lord. I trust Your plan. I trust Your goodness. I trust what You can see and I can’t. I trust You with my life, my hopes, my dreams, and my disappointments. I trust You with it all, Lord.

3 things that Satan wants you to believe about your situation: 1. You can't. 2. God won't. 3. It will never get better. When we hear these lies from the enemy, it's time to saturate our thoughts with God's Word and read it like the love letter it is.

What if our to-do lists looked a little more like this in the new year? 1 - Listen to God. 2 - Do what He says no matter what. 3 - Trust Him at all costs with the outcome. Yes, Lord. I want this to be the way I live my life. Each and every day.

Don’t stop praying, friend. Don’t stop hoping & believing. But also, don’t believe that your way of getting to the other side of your circumstance is the only way. God has a perfect plan for a path to a renewed joy & a redeemed future that’s probably one you can’t even fathom.

A depleted girl can quickly become a defeated girl when she lets emotions dictate her reactions. Sometimes we need to slow down, say no, take a nap, and regroup. Life is much more enjoyable and we are a lot less irritable when our pace is not set to the rhythm of rush.

Take heart. We don’t have to have all the answers. We just have to stay connected to the One who does.

Satan wants us to believe the lie that we can’t trust God to work things out. But God wants us to remember He can make a way. Here is a simple verse we can put on repeat tonight: “In you, Lord my God, I put my trust.” Psalm 25:1

Keep praying, sweet parents. Because the prayers we pray for our kids never die. They linger. They walk with our kids throughout their life. And they’re heard by the Creator of the universe. Isn’t that a comforting thought?

Criticism is easy. What's rare and beautiful is a person eager to notice the good and communicate with kindness. Let’s be rare.

God really does have it all worked out. The gaps are filled. The heartache is eased. The provision is ready. The needs are met. Fully. Completely. Perfectly. In Him. With Him. By Him. Lord, I know this is true. Help me live today as evidence that I believe this.

It’s a rare and beautiful thing when we choose to offer love in situations when most people would choose to scorn or ignore. Let’s be rare and beautiful.

Waiting can be hard. But God’s waiting periods are full of incredible purpose. We can trust He's doing significant things in us & around us.

He doesn't grow tired. He doesn't get weary. And no one can fathom His understanding. So thankful for the magnificent God we serve. Isaiah 40:28

In the midst of whatever difficult circumstances you might be facing in this very moment, pause and whisper these fear-calming, soul-settling truths to your own heart: God loves me. He has a plan. And He absolutely can be trusted.

Forgiving others can be hard. But I'm learning it takes just as much energy to stay bitter as it does to walk the path of forgiveness. Forgiveness frees us to walk a much less exhausting path - allowing our souls to exhale & untangle as we stop recalling resentments over & over.

Not every thought needs to be shared. Not every opinion should be aired. If we truly want to be thought leaders, we must lead our own thoughts first. “May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.” Ps. 19:14

That friend who speaks truth? Listen to her. Stay connected to her. Let her speak truth into your life even when you’re tired of hearing it. Stand in the shadow of her faith when you feel your own faith is weak, and let her lead you back to God time and time again.
