Hey Lifters and Listeners! In this episode we explore the topic of having confidence in God in all circumstances. I share a personal experience where God's response reshaped my perspective on suffering and faith. Through this story, I uncover the vital role confidence plays in aligning our hearts with God's plan, even when it challenges our expectations.

Let's reflect on Psalm 46:10 as a call to cease striving and embrace God's sovereignty in every circumstance. As we deepen our confidence in Him, may we find lasting peace amidst life's storms.

God is emphasizing that we need to be who and what we are to others. You cannot give other people a message that you have not fully received for yourself. Stop seeking God and personal development for the sole purpose of helping others but learn how to take that wisdom and apply it to yourself. THIS IS PERSONAL!

“You worship what you worry.” That’s a simple yet profound truth. With so much unknown in the world it’s easy to slip into the slope of worry. But God doesn’t have us face troubles for us to worry. No, He commands us not to worry because it flexes our faith in Him. Think of your worries as an opportunity to show God how much you trust Him and an opportunity for God to showcase His love and providence for you. Worrying will always leave you with more worry. But trusting God will always lead you to greater peace!
