God is over it, and you should be too

There’s a difference between saying “I’m over it” and actually meaning it. There are things we carry, longer than we even realize, and this is about finally putting them down.

What I Pray When Anxiety Shows Up (And It Actually Helps)

Anxiety isn’t just one thing and one prayer doesn’t cover all of it. In this video I’m sharing what I personally pray for worry, panic, overwhelm, fear of the future, racing thoughts, and dread. These are the actual prayers I use, the ones I have saved on my phone, the ones I reach for before anxiety gets the upper hand. If you’ve ever needed something ready before the panic hits, this is it.⭐️ PRE-ORDER my new book Jumpstart Your Day HERE! ⭐️ Support the showThank you for listening!

It's OK to be Mad at God

Maybe you're frustrated with God right now. Or if you're being really honest, you're straight-up mad at Him. That's okay. He can handle it.There are things we pray for that never happen. People we love that we lose. Situations that get worse instead of better. And in the middle of all of it, you start feeling something you might even feel guilty about.God is not fragile. He is not going to be caught off guard by what you're feeling. But there is a difference between bringing Him your frustration and letting that frustration slowly talk you out of His goodness.If you're tired of asking. Tired of waiting. Tired of not understanding. This one is for you.⭐️ PRE-ORDER my new book Jumpstart Your Day HERE! ⭐️ Support the showThank you for listening!

Something Good Is About to Happen

What if something good is actually going to happen in your life today — would you believe it?Every single morning before my feet hit the floor, I say it out loud. And what I’ve learned is there’s a real difference between praying for something and actually expecting it. One of them positions you to receive. The other just keeps you waiting.If you’ve been praying for years and somewhere along the way the expectation quietly left, that’s exactly what we’re talking about today.⭐️ PRE-ORDER my new book Jumpstart Your Day HERE! ⭐️ Support the showThank you for listening!
