My Broken Prayer

Posted on by

hands

Dear God,

I’m tired. I’m hurting. How can this be happening again? Why are You allowing this pain?

I don’t want to be broken. I want to be whole. I know this is an unrealistic expectation during this lifetime, but I want to be without this ache in my soul. I don’t want another heartache.

Haven’t I been through enough in my life?

I confess God I get angry, very angry because You allow me to walk through these painful trials … yet again.

I’m sorry.

God, how can I live in constant peace in this broken place?

Is that attainable?

Truth is I’m sad … I’m devastated.

I want to fix this with my own hands, in my own strength. The only way I know how to do that is to simply lift my hands up to You with what little strength I have left in me.

Tears soak my face. Dripping on my laptop. The need to understand dissolves.

Thank you God.

I receive Your peace now. I will rest in your constant peace.

Do you have a broken prayer? I would love join you in prayer today. Leave a comment below.

Reaching for God Instead of Food {and a Giveaway}

Posted on by

Life doesn’t have to be chaotic when uncertainty arises.

I want to share with you my experience of walking through a recent health scare. As you can imagine when a doctor is concerned with my health it frightens me because of going through cancer and a near death experience several years back.

But I was amazed at how I managed to have God’s supernatural peace while life felt pretty chaotic when I thought I might be sick again!

Philippians 4:6-7 tells us, Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

This passage took root in my life and literally gave me supernatural peace and strength as I waited several days on test results. I believe the reason I was able to experience God’s peace that surpasses all understanding is because of two reasons:

  1. God is God and He can do anything!
  2. Because I did not run to food to comfort or numb myself from feeling so afraid. 

Running to food is a normal reaction when I’m feeling scared. Because I was not overloaded with sugar I was able to experience God’s peace on a much deeper level than ever before.

If you struggle with reaching for something other than God when you’re feeling afraid, I want to encourage you to stop and seek God’s presence before running to food, shopping, work, friends …

I would love to hear what things you might run to before seeking God first. Everyone who comments will be entered to WIN a special devotional book from Lysa TerKeurst, What Happens When Women Say Yes to God. Winner announced Feb. 28.

How Your Core Values Keep You Accountable {and a giveaway!}

Posted on by

It’s so exciting to see how great everyone is doing on accountability this month. I love hearing from you. Thank you for all your emails. Your motivation keeps me motivated!

On a recent blog post I wrote, “Accountability oozes from our core values”. For example one of my core values is honesty. Because honesty is a core value of mine, when I tell someone I will do something, that means I will do it. That is why accountability works when it’s connected to my core values.

There are hundreds of core values. I would love to hear what your core values are in the comments below. Everyone who comments will be entered to WIN a special devotional book from Lysa TerKeurst, What Happens When Women Say Yes to God. Winner announced Feb. 28.

Here’s a list of core values to select from (but not limited to): Love, Obedience, Patience, Quality, Security, Inspiring Others, Family, Accomplishment, Trust, Recognition, Peace, Mentoring, Wellness, Loyalty, Service, Honesty, Humor, Integrity, Faith, Fun, Respect, Persistence, Community, Creativity, Encouragement, Order, Nurturing, Excellence, Courage, Honor, Joy, Authenticity, Elegance.

Journal with God: Write in your journal all of your core values. Reflect on the many ways God has used these values throughout your life as a gift to you and to serve others.

One Easy Way to Finish What You Started

Posted on by

We are talking accountability. How can we set those goals, follow through and achieve them? One sure way to do it is by staying accountable.

What are some different ways to stay accountable?

One really fun way to stay accountable is by speaking into another’s life by encouraging, motivating and inspiring them. And guess what it does for you? Internally it motivates you to stay on course. It works like a charm.

Who will you encourage today?  Everyone who comments will be entered to WIN a special devotional book from Lysa TerKeurst, What Happens When Women Say Yes to God. yestogoddevot

How a 40-Day Juice Fast Trained Me to Write a Book

Posted on by

A few years ago in my quiet time I felt the Lord speaking to me and said I needed to do a 40 day juice fast. I had never fasted before in my life. I told God there was no way I could do it. It was too much. No food, just juice? This sounded crazy!

At the time He was speaking to my heart about writing a book and in preparation for this book I needed to honor what He was asking of me. Luke 16:10 came to mind “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much. Whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.”

Today I’m thrilled to share with you that I did write the book. I believe because of walking in obedience and being faithful with the small things (such as food) God taught me how to follow through so that I could complete such a large assignment … writing a book.

What is God asking you to give to Him? What little thing is He asking you to trust Him with? Leave a comment. I would love to pray for you. 

Journal with God: Write Luke 16:10 in your journal and share with God what little thing you will trust Him with today.

When You’re Bit by the Insecurity Bug

Posted on by

fear

Hey sweet friend!

If you’ve been connected with me for a while you know that I wrote a book last year. During this process of excruciating vulnerability I’ve had the emotional ride of my life!

High … low … high … low … high … looooooow …

This year as I’m going through the next phase of publishing I’m experiencing yet again many mixed emotions.

Putting yourself “out there” is such a scary place to be. It’s so easy to get caught up in what other people think about you. Who will “approve” of you and who will “reject” you? Those kinds of thoughts spinning in your mind too long could make a person go crazy.

Ugh!!!

And if you don’t watch out you might be taken by surprise when one day you realize you’re eaten up with insecurities that keep you trapped in fear and paralyzed in the “not good enoughs”.

Just the other day I was having a come to Jesus meeting with myself and said, “Linda, you’ve been bit by the insecurity bug once again! What are you going to do about it? Eat a candy bar or let yourself feel it and have a cry on your hubby’s shoulder?”

Well, I actually did both. {Just being honest here.}

The candy bar didn’t really do a thing for me except give me a sugar rush, headache and kept me up half the night. But crying on my husband’s shoulder actually worked for me.

I wept like a baby. Snot everywhere!

And as my husband dried my tears with his sweet words of encouragement I found strength to move forward and get over myself.

Now, that was just for the moment. That darn insecurity bug is buzzing around me all the time. It’s everywhere. Online, in relationships, in church, in ministry, in parenting, in my physical health, in finances … you name it, that stinker might pop up anywhere.

Instead of running away from my fears, I’ve decided to lean into them. I’ve been bit one too many times by insecurity and I refuse to let it take me down.

I will keep fighting. I will keep getting back up.

Why?

Because when I am weak HE IS STRONG! His grace is sufficient for me. His power is made perfect in my weakness. (2 Cor 12:9-10) He has armed me with strength for battle. He has made my opponents (the enemy) bow at my feet. (Psalm 18:39)

I simply choose to keep on fighting. Today I choose to remain fearless. Will you join me?

Coming in February I will begin a short blog series on How to Squash the Insecurity Bug. I would to love have you here. Please invite your friends to sign up for my blog and share this on your social media sites. Click here to subscribe to my blog.

How a Simple Routine Brings Great Reward

Posted on by

How can we continue to move forward and not get stuck when working towards our goals?

Something I recently learned over the past few weeks from my pastor during this amazing sermon series called the Power of Same is how a shift in my focus can bring a great reward.

What if we stopped focusing on the end result and simply focused on the routine, making the routine our reward? Can you imagine how accomplished we will feel? How much momentum we will create? So what routine can you commit to that will help you achieve your goals? I would love to hear from you!

God is My Life Coach

Posted on by

On Tuesday’s video I shared with you that setting goals is typically not the problem for us; it’s the follow through that kills us.

We learned the problem is not the goal or the routine itself; the problem is the pattern of our response to our goals.

Reflecting and praying over the pattern of my responses in my relationships, ministry and health, one word came to mind.

awareness2

I began to pray.

God give me the gift of awareness. Show me what you see. Help me to hear what you hear. Open my heart to those around me. Make me aware of your presence.

I took out my journal and wrote the following:

When I am in His presence then I am aware.

God’s presence = God’s awareness

When I’m in your presence I am calm. When I’m in your presence I can breathe. When I’m in your presence I can scatter love.

focus

Sitting quietly in his presence I marveled at this revelation.

God is my life coach. He challenges me to be the best I can be while gently guiding me in truth. To remain accountable all I have to do is…

liveinhispresence

Living in His presence naturally creates a pattern of healthy, good, positive responses.

Jesus said in John 15:5, I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

What is He speaking to your heart today? How is He coaching you? I would love to hear from you.

1 Simple Way to Follow Through

Posted on by

How do we follow through on our goals?

I learned from my Pastor this weekend an invaluable nugget of wisdom that can potentially change everything for you.

We know how to set goals and routines and patterns to achieve them. So why is it so hard to actually follow through with our goals?

The problem is not the goal or the routine itself,

cupcake

For example, my goal is to eat healthy, however when I get emotional I respond by eating junk food {cupcakes} which is completely opposite of my goal. In order to achieve my goal, I must change the pattern of my response. Make sense?

What responses do you need to change in your life in order to achieve your goals? I would love to hear from. Leave a comment below.
