Are you struggling with fear? In today’s post, I share a life-changing story, shared by Kari Jobe, that helped me flip the script from a doomsday narrative to the one God has already written for us in His Word. His promises don’t protect us from everything that makes life hard, but they do free us from living in fear. Find out how!
In today’s post, I’m sharing about my own struggle with chronic pain. It’s not something I’ve talked much about, in part because I don’t yet have an official diagnosis, but God has brought to my attention that all of us struggle with some form of physical or emotional pain, whether visible to the outside world or not. Pain makes life difficult. Many of us feel anxious, alone, misunderstood, or discouraged. Pain can cause us to doubt our faith, God’s goodness, or even our own self-worth. Pain can be a burden, but it doesn’t have to keep us paralyzed. We can pivot from allowing pain to lead us down a regrettable path toward depression, anxiety, and defeat to instead inviting it to propel us toward wholeness.

We can hope for healing, but we can’t base our happiness on it. We can seek the doctors’ advice, but we can’t put our trust in them. Our hope and trust lies in the Lord alone as we hold tight to His promise to work all things together for good (Romans 8:28).
