When we go through struggles whether physical or mental in life, they usually change us in some way. It is normal for us to want to return to life as we knew it before. However, ignoring the change and failing to sit taking inventory of our current season could make us frustrated. We become so busy trying to recoup what we think we lost that we lose sight of what God made new.

All seven I Am sayings of Jesus are recorded in the Gospel of John. We’re studying them this month at She Lives Fearless and discussing on the podcast ways to apply them personally and practically. We’re also making a Free reading guide available for download here on our website. Join us as we focus our attention and hearts to prepare for Easter, amidst all that’s happening in March!

For our faith to grow we have to cultivate it in prayer, scripture, worship, study, and community. When we do this, our lives become fertile ground for a life we can live and flourish in every season through the strength of God. Knowing who he is settles the questions. Knowing who he is shows us who we are, and in that settled identity we persevere and live fearless as we journey through the plans of God.

Are things moving forward as you hoped they would so far this year? Are there areas that feel like a dead end?

Most of the time we live in the tension of the in-between moments of life in at least one given area. Things don’t always go as planned. We pray and wait for the breakthroughs we so desperately want or need. The waiting is where hope dies if we don’t lean in and let the Lord cultivate faith - believing for what we haven’t seen yet.
