EP. 14: Finding Peace

We’ve all been there. We’ve made what we think are perfect plans just to have them seemingly dismantled. Or something unexpected happens, and it feels like life is turned upside down. Often in those times we have big questions and open answers. Today, let’s talk about finding peace in the midst of uncertainty.

Notes and Quotes: 

• Sometimes we get very transactional with God “‘If I do it right, then I will be rewarded with this.’ But does God work that way? No.” 
• When we get into tidal wave situations, no matter what they are, God helps us and comforts us. 
• When you feel overwhelmed or let down, try this: stop, look back at the things God has done for you, recount them all, write them down. Sit with God and reflect on how faithful He has been to you. 
• Find a tangible reminder to go and pray and express your trust in God to provide. He is faithful.
• “When we have no control over anything, He has control.”
• Spiritual amnesia: we forget that God is faithful.
• “Remove and move any distractions that would distract me from Him.”
• “Instead of worrying, I was anticipating . . . okay God, where are you going to land me?”
