Ep271 Pt1 – How to Live during Hardship

Being a person of joy and prayer combined with a heart of gratitude is how God calls us to live. In this chat Emma and Rosemary talk about how difficult it can be to rejoice and pray when life is hard but when we do this we allow ourselves to depend on God. 

It can be difficult to live as a Christian through hardship. St Paul encourages us to rejoice, to pray and to give thanks. In this Heartbeat Emma encourages us to do the same when we are going through tough times. 

We can be assured that God will be with us every step of the way. This week Emma and Rosemary chat about God’s presence with us. No matter what, God is always with us. 

There are many times in life that we can wonder whether God is with us. In this Heartbeat Rosemary reminds us that not only is God with us but that He will also give us rest. 

In our chat this week, Emma and Rosemary talk about how we have a God who has experienced pain and loss and so we have a God who truly understands us. He is a God who deeply cares for us through everything we are going through. 

What can we learn from the shortest verse in the Bible? In this Heartbeat Rosemary shares how the words “Jesus wept” show us how deeply Christ loves us and understands us. 

It can be hard not to be consumed by anxiety. Instead we can rely on God’s strength who will bless us with peace. In this chat Emma and Rosemary talk about the deep peace that God wants to give us and the difficulty that it can be to rely on God when it feels like the world can be falling apart around us. 

Jesus gives us a peace that is beyond any peace we could ever imagine. In this Heartbeat Rosemary talks about how we can turn our thoughts to God for His strength when we get worried. 

No matter what you do in life you can always turn back to God. He will never turn you away. Emma and Rosemary chat about the times in our lives where we have recognised a wrong decision and our need for God. It can be hard to humble ourselves and return to him but we can always be assured of His love. 

God will never drive you away! There is never a time that you can’t turn back to God. In this Heartbeat Rosemary shares the story of the Prodigal Son and reminds us of the Father’s love.
