A Prayer to Face Your Fears and Experience Peace
We all want to experience more peace and we all go about it the wrong way: we withdraw from difficult things. But this weakens us. When you keep avoiding a situation you’re afraid or stressed by it provides momentary relief, but in the end it actually strengthens your fear and anxiety. Check out this “Shalom Prayer” to help you face your fears. It’s inspired by Jesus’ words in John 14. It will help you to be present to God, his Word and Spirit, if you breathe the words in and out. #coronavirus
Transforming Your Heart
It is in the heart that real change must begin. God sends his Word and Spirit to us and we respond by putting our faith (trust and confidence, leaning the whole weight of our being) in Christ. As we connect with Christ we come alive with his abundant, eternal, God-kind of life. We can think of our “spiritual formation” in Christ as interacting with God in the renovation of our heart or the forming of our spirit or will. #transformation #spiritualformation #inspiringquotes #spiritualquotes
Christian Parenting | Raising Your Child to Love God
Psychological research shows that children’s relationship with their mother has the most influence on how they imagine, trust, and relate to God. There are many building blocks to make a healthy soul in your child: trust, self-awareness, boundaries, forgiveness, self-esteem, motivation, stress tolerance, empathy, personal responsibility, resilience, and courage. All of these dimensions of your child’s personality and well-being come from their image of God. #motherhood #identity #family #soul
What the Bible Really Means When it Says "Do Not Be Anxious"
Why all the anxiety? We try to do too much in a day. We push ourselves to achieve our goals. We don’t know how to rest. We get “stressed out”, which is really stressed in. It’s anxiety. We may try not to feel distressed, isolate, and go dark. Anxiety comes as we worry or fixate on troubles, and this anxiety is, at the root, a control problem. When you or I are anxious, it’s because we’re trying to control things: how we feel, what people think of us, or the outcomes of situations in our lives.

A Bible Study on Pain + Suffering
Why does God allow suffering? If he is all-good and all-powerful couldn’t he stop injustice? We’ve all asked this question. For all of human history people have wrestled with question of why does God allow suffering. Much of the pain and suffering that we experience or see others going through is undeserved. It’s hard to accept. Let’s consider the context for studying this question and what the Bible says about suffering. #soulshepherding #depression #pain #transformation #trustgodintrials

Loving Your Neighbor | How to Quietly Bless Those Around You
Practicing solitude and silence are the most important spiritual disciplines for people today. In our busy, noisy world we need to “unhook” and get away in order to be alone and be ourselves with God. In solitude and silence you’re learning to stop doing, stop producing, stop pleasing people, stop entertaining yourself, stop obsessing — stop doing anything except to simply be yourself before God and be found by him. #soulshepherding #apprenticeofjesus #mentalhealth #nature #solitude #silence
