Spiritual Growth

I was reminded that I need to turn my thoughts from the bad news in my life to God’s wondrous works.

“Waiting is an art that our impatient age has forgotten,” Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote. Art in any form has never come easily for me.

God’s provision is most obvious when we stop and look for it. And nothing helps me stop and look like my thankfulness journal.

The key to lamenting well is to realize that we were not designed to live in lament. We were designed for joy. Lament is but a pit-stop on the way.

As I’ve sought to live in thankfulness the past four years, I’ve noticed a deep joy and peace take root in my heart.

I don’t want to waste my pain comparing it to someone else’s.

We can all find something to be thankful for even in these strange times, especially with Thanksgiving coming next week.

Can God rescue us? Can He change us, freeing us from the sinful patterns that hold us captive?
