Eliminate distraction once and for all

Today we’ll build on the conversation about fear of the future, and talk about what to do if it feels like the Lord isn’t near… or there at all. We’ll look at Luke 12 and Romans 8 to glean wisdom on increasing our faith and finding God even in painful or difficult times.

I have learned so much about hospitality from my family from India, and today we follow the journey of Martha uncovering similar truths.

Today I share an awesome prayer testimony (well, 2 of them :-) and we unpack the story of the persistent neighbor in Luke 11. Here we see the power of persistence, but more importantly, we see how good our Father in heaven is. In order to have the strength and endurance to persevere, we must know that we’re not praying to an unwilling master or begrudging boss. We’re praying to our good and loving Father and He truly is faithful to provide! Links From Today’s Episode: My Small Group membership closes May 15!

I've learned that if it's important to you, it has to be programmed into your day. These are two important habits that I have programmed into tasks that always happen, every single day: loading the dishwasher and getting dressed. I take this opportunity to ask the Lord to help me forgive (while loading the dishwasher) and help me start the day centered on him (praying a short Psalm in the closet). Join me today for practical tips on programming important habits into your day!
