In this day and age, there seems to be so much to be anxious about. Living in a broken world makes it seemingly impossible not to live in a state of constant anxiety and fear. Anxiety stems from lack of faith. It happens when we place our hopes in ourselves and not on trusting in […]

15 Bible Verses About Courage and Strength
Originally I was going to write a blog post about finding strength in hard times. But I can’t even begin to imagine what you are going through, let alone tell you how to get through it. Only God can help you and give you courage and strength. You can turn to the Bible where you […]
Spending Time with God
This year, God has prompted me to focus on being still and knowing that He is God. I have always had a hard time slowing down, taking breaks, focusing on one thing at a time, and giving myself space to just relax. I guess I just have a really hard time being still and spending […]
A New Identity in Christ
As we head into a New Year, we will hear a ton of messages about how the new year is supposed to be for a “new me.” We are supposed to make ourselves look and feel better whether that is going to the gym more, starting a new diet, helping more in the community, traveling […]
Childlike Faith
As children, we trust our parents to take care of us, provide for us and love us unconditionally. Personally, I thought my parents were superhuman, unable to be hurt by anything. I put my full faith in them. This same childlike faith in our earthly parents often lacks for our heavenly Father. Children come without […]
God-Centered Goal Setting
The New Year is almost upon us. It is the time of year that we start to think about what we want to accomplish in the coming months. Maybe you have already made some resolutions, which is a good start. However, resolutions tend to be all or nothing. And we often don’t plan how to […]
Cultivating a Heart for Hospitality
What image comes to mind when you think of hospitality? For many, and this is where Pinterest can be dangerous (not the topic today), it is a perfectly clean and decorated home, a gourmet menu, top-shelf wine and cocktails, and an exquisite table setting. While some of these things can be applied to biblical hospitality […]
God’s Greatest Christmas Gift
I don’t know about you, but in the past Christmas has been all about Santa, the presents, and the parties for me. This Christmas Season God has convicted me to really focus on the reason for the Christmas season and to see Christ in all of his fullness. Not only the reason but the depth […]
Finding Beauty in Brokenness
God loves the broken-hearted. God seeks the lost and loves the hopeless. Better yet, He chose you before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4). Despite our flaws, God still cherishes us as His children. In our lowest state of brokenness, God shows us just how desperately we are in need of His love and grace. It is there that we repent and realize that we were made for more.
Christ-Like Love Assumes the Best
The other day on my Instagram (@MyOneComfort) a fellow blogger (@faithitlikeaboss) commented on a post about 1 Peter 4:8. She said she was listening to Andy Stanley on love and how he said we should always aim to believe the best about anyone’s motives – it makes it easier to love them. Start with positive […]
