Radical Gratitude with Ann Voskamp – Made For This

Running Scared – Ed Welch

“The greatest possibility for rest and comfort lies in the knowledge of the true God. And who can resist the one whose self-given name is Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Deliverer, Lord of Hosts, Rock of Ages, Faithful One, and Good Shepherd? Don’t forget, fear’s interpretations are not always to be trusted. You might feel abandoned so you believe you are abandoned. But you don’t know the entire story. So here is the proposal: let fear point us to the knowledge of God, and let the Spirit of God, by way of Scripture, teach us the knowledge of God.” (page 64)

Lies That Keep Women from the Word – Rachel Jankovic

“We may read Scripture that does not immediately feel like nutrition or hot, cleansing water. But our feelings are not what give value to the process. This is a gift that we are not the makers of, and by some trickery of the enemy, we have cut ourselves off from receiving it. Maybe we will read it later, when we don’t need it so much.“
