The Blessing in Our Failures // Abbey Wedgeworth

"All those moments when we are like, 'I'm not the girl for the job,' those are the exact moments when God is reminding us that the ministry is his, not ours. That's a mercy, and those are the times to ask for strength."

— Abbey Wedgeworth

Today's Episode: If you ever feel like you're messing everything up, you're not alone. Today Natalie is chatting honestly with Abbey Wedgeworth about their own failings, limitations, and doubts and how God has met them with his mercy and strength. Abbey gives helpful, simple ways that we can identify our limitations, work to live within them, and pray for God to give us strength. She encourages us to take that next step—even just setting aside 10 minutes to allow God to work in our lives. You'll be inspired to set aside the goal of perfectionism, embrace your own limits and experience the strength only God can give us. 

This month's memory verse: "I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being." — Ephesians 3:16
