Joy isn’t found in the absence of suffering, but in remembering who Jesus is and what He has done for us.

So how do I find peace in Jesus during the waiting? Or the hardship? Or the challenging life situations, for that matter?

We often say “Jesus loves you,” but Scripture tells us something even more intimate: Jesus prayed for you. John 17 reveals a deeply personal love—one that reaches across generations, into your present circumstance. Come hear His prayer for you.

We don’t always get clarity on the road ahead. But God invites us to trust that the unknown path may be the most meaningful part of the journey.

Ever have one of those days when your minds feels like a browser with too many tabs open? I sure have! And the holidays—withall their extra obligations and preparations—tend to land squarely in that category for me.

“This awful moment wasn’t going to be the end of my story. When life feels impossibly hard, it’s easy to wonder if things will ever get easier. But in the very place where I fell apart, God began to rebuild something beautiful."

Even at night when my thoughts trouble me, I will bless the Lord… but learning to release control was not as easy as I wanted it to be.

When we encounter division and hatred, our response should reflect the heart of Christ—standing for justice while still showing love, pursuing truth while extending grace.

The to-do list is still there, but it no longer owns me—my strength comes from God, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Our life is but a vapor, but it will have true meaning when we look to Jesus for everything.

When you feel like you’re not enough, remember: your worth isn’t defined by rejection or circumstances. True strength and peace come from anchoring your identity in Christ’s unshakable love.

Tired of carrying it all on your own? God is near, ready to help shoulder the weight and bring peace where you need it most.

What I thought would be the adventure of a lifetime became a mirror of the shame I had carried for decades.

When fear and comparison creep in, what if the answer isn’t control—but trust? Pray, then act. God is always trustworthy.

As worship continued and the next song began, I was reminded how Jesus provides true freedom to those who follow Him...

Seeing someone else’s blind spot is easy. Seeing your own? That’s where real growth begins.

Joy dwells deep within me and is not dependent upon circumstances happening around me.

Peace doesn’t come from perfect balance—it comes from releasing what was never ours to carry.

"Don’t you trust me?" I heard him whisper inside. "I know what needs to get done. Will you let go and trust me?"   

Imagine yourself being held by the God of the universe who created every star with his breath, every thing in sight with his Word, and He still sees YOU and calls you by name
