We Are All Afraid of Something

Hi sweet friend! Today I want to share a fun story of my experience meeting a pilot and how he had such compassion on my fear of flying! The truth is, we are all afraid of something. And a lot of us live with irrational fears. But God promises us in His word that He will deliver us from all of our fears, and while fears may come and go, we can cling to God's faithfulness in the process and learn how to be a better friend to those who struggle with anxiety over irrational things. I hope this episode blesses you and encourages you to press on in faith and trust that God is working in your heart.

Book mentioned: "A Shepherd's Look at Psalm 23" 

Verses Mentioned:

Psalm 34:4 "I sought the Lord and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears." 

Rising Above the Clouds with Special Guest Mary Hudson

This week I had the priveledge of talking with Mary Hudson, a beautiful soul who loves to serve and live for Christ. Mary's Arise conferences seek to take women out of horrible situations and show them God's grace and love even in the middle of their heart-wrenching circumstances. Mary shares what led her to Christ, how one can "rise above the clouds" and cling to the Lord, and all kinds of encouragement to keep going in the midst of adversity. Join us today to feel encouragement in your own calling and to celebrate with joy all that God is doing to restore your life.

When You Feel Lost

This week I stumbled upon a note I had written in my phone that was a cry for help from a lonely mama who felt very lost - and that mama was me!

I struggled in those early days of my kids being little to care for my basic needs and to see the bigger picture. I often felt like I didn't know who I was or what I was doing!

But today I want to reflect on the ways that God was pursuing me in that season - and how He continues to pursue you in your "lost" seasons.

He is always working in our lives, and we are never truly lost. Let today's episode be an encouragement to your heart to see that no matter where you are or how lost you feel, God is there.

Praying Through Depression

This week I felt God's gentle nudge to talk about the ways I pray through depression and how you can develop a battle plan for the spiritual attack on your mind. Let's talk about what happened in the wildnerness when Satan tempted Jesus and how we can take away our own plan to fight against the darkness we encounter. 

Verses Mentioned:

Ephesians 4:12

"We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places."

Luke 4:1-13 

Story of Jesus being tempted in the wildnerness 

Exodus 14:14

"The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still."

Romans 8:26

"In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans."

 

Prayer for Depression: 

 

Oh Precious Jesus,

You are the lover of my soul, and my soul is downcast. I am walking through a valley right now that seems too deep for me to climb out of.

Not only that, but my strength has given out. My legs are heavy, my heart is heavy, I can’t seem to walk any longer. The pain in my chest is strong. How long will you leave me in this place? How long do I have to suffer through these circumstances, these relationships, these hardships?

Lord when my chest feels heavy and I can’t see any way out - please be my Way.

Please open a door for me to worship you. Turn my heart to praise. Remind me of all the times you have brought me through earth-shaking storms and I came out on the other side stronger.

I believe in your power to do that. Oh but Lord, help my unbelief. Help the corners of my heart that question and doubt. Don’t let me go so far down to the depths that I stay there. Don’t let the Enemy hurt me while I’m down.

Jesus, I pray for a mighty fortress around my heart. Satan has no place here, he has no business messing with my heart or my mind. I pray in the authority of your name that he would leave now.

Strengthen me. Establish me. Plant my feet on solid ground. Rise me up past these feelings. I know the power of your name can do that. It’s ok for me to feel, but I don’t want to stay here. I know you have more for me.

I speak the name of Jesus over this depression Lord. I speak Jesus over all my circumstances and all my relationships. I speak your holy and might name to break any strongholds the enemy has tried to take.

Jesus, you are my Deliverer. Hold me up with your victorious right hand and lead me into the battle. As you fight for me, I need only to be still.

In your name,

Amen

The Power of Writing Therapy

Today on the podcast I want to share with you my heart behind writing, and how it has become a therapy for me to process emotions before God. Have you ever tried writing out your heart's desires to Him or what makes you crumble under pressure? He cares about your every thought and wants to hear it! I hope today inspires you to pick up a pen and be transparent before the God who loves you, who calls you His own.
