Struggling To Connect With God

Have you ever struggled to really connect with God and it feels like He is nowhere to be found?

On those days when I feel so far away and disconnected from God I intentionally get on my knees, no matter if I feel like it or not. I get in a posture so that I can hear the Lord. I will get on my knees, put on worship music to listen and sing along and give thanks and praise with my mouth.

In Matthew 14:27-29 when Jesus walks on the water and he says to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. In order for us to really connect with Jesus, we must come. We must get out of the boat and go to him.

I want to encourage you today if it’s one of those times where you’re feeling a little discouraged or disconnected from the Lord, get in a posture to connect with him on your knees, seek the Lord, listen to worship and praise him with your mouth. I promise you that if you will take that step of obedience and have the courage to seek him you will connect with the Lord in a very special way.

Some of my favorite worship songs I’m listening to now: 

Amen, Chairty Gayle

Overflow, Red Rocks Worship

Everything to You, Jenn Johnson

The One That Really Matters, Dustin Smith

What clients are saying about working with Linda Kuhar …

“I am so thankful God led me to Linda. Coaching is exactly what I needed at a desperate time in my life. I just felt so stuck and held back. Linda asked questions that had me digging deeper and she was always so encouraging and had me pressing forward always pointing me to Jesus. My time with her has been so special and I have a new excitement and passion for life.” Bethany G., PA

“I have been truly blessed having Linda as my Christian Life Coach. Along with being a caring, sensitive person, she listens and asks powerful questions that really helps clarify where you are and where you want to go. She brings a spiritual insight into her coaching that is amazing! The next thing you know you are beginning to make sense of what you need to do to move forward. I praise the Lord for bringing her into my life!” Merril M., FL

“I was at a point in my life where I was floundering in so many areas and things just felt so chaotic.  During my first call with Linda, she helped me to drill down to the root causes of why my life was the way it was, and helped me find ways that I could take charge of those areas–simplify, be intentional and, through little baby steps, make changes that really made a difference.  Linda was there for me each day with a text or an email to cheer me on!  I love her caring and personal nature, and I enjoyed the time I spent with her immensely.  She is a blessing and, should you choose to work with her, I truly believe your life will be enriched and improved as mine was.” Linda L., WI

Prevail

Have you ever had your mind and heart set on a dream only for God to take you down a completely different path in your life?

I had this happen about 5 years ago.  I started going back to school to get a Masters Degree in Counseling.  I knew without question at a very early age I wanted to help others in this field.  While going back to college I was diagnosed with cancer, and my life took a completely different turn, as you can only imagine.  Immediately I went from pursuing my dream to become a licensed counselor to fighting for my life to stay alive.  Looking back over what took place, I can’t help but almost laugh at how true God’s word is.

“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”  Proverbs 19:21

When I set out to get my degree in counseling, I never in my wildest dreams would of thought that God would use my life to minister to others about His unfailing grace, mercy and miraculous love for us.  Who in the world would of thought that while training to run a half-marathon 6 months after waking up from my coma I would discover the deepest desire of my heart, coaching?  Even though I had no desire to become a “running coach”, God revealed to me that I could be a spiritual coach.  As a Women’s Christian Life Coach I get to love, encourage and motivate others just as my running coaches did for me.  Now today, 5 years later I have the privilege of coaching women daily around the world as we seek God together and build deeper intimate relationships with Christ!

My hope and prayer for you today is that even if you are questioning which direction your life is heading, that you too will trust the scripture and know without question that God’s purpose for you life will prevail!  Leave a comment today and share where you are in your life plans and what God is revealing to you.

Embarrassing Confession

Welcome to CA…Controllers Anonymous.  Hi, my name is Linda Kuhar and I am a control freak!  While you may be chuckling at my cute little comment, I need to confess to you that because of my insane controlling nature of 38 years, this week it has actually brought me to my knees in desperation asking God, “Do you REALLY exist?  Because God if you are really REAL than why do I struggle today with the exact same issues I had 10 years ago, 15 years ago, heck even 20 years ago?  If you’re real, than why haven’t you removed the pains of insecurity and fear I have buried so deep inside me?”

And in one simple answer He spoke….”Control, you haven’t give me control over your life.”

Well, in my typical controlling fashion I would usually explain to God why I haven’t given everything to Him and try to manipulate God by convincing Him (really myself) that I am the way I am because ultimately He is the one that created me, right?  Well, this time my scheming and conniving ways did not even rear it’s ugly head.  Instead, I was at the darkest place of desperation and brokenness that all I could do was say ok God.  You are exactly right.  I have been afraid to give you control over my life because fear and insecurity have been such a source of comfort and refuge for me, but today I give up, I quit!  I cannot do this control thing any more.  I have no strength left in me to fight!

I quit trying to control those I love so dearly, my husband and child, my business/ministry that you called me to and even..are you ready for this my friends?  I give up control over my healing from cancer and coma.  Yes, it’s true.  I’m confessing to you that I’ve struggled all this time truly believing that I was miraculously healed.  I’m completely embarrassed and feel like such a hypocrite as I write these words.  But the truth is I’ve tried to convince myself that I was healed from H1N1 (the swine flu) and not a reaction from the chemotherapy drugs because logically my lungs would have never completely healed if it was the chemo that my body had the reaction to.

Long story short is, it does not matter what God healed me from, He miraculously healed me and today I can honestly say I believe that because I have Let. It. Go. by giving up control.

Friends, are you living a life of control?  Or are you really letting God control your life?  I’m currently participating in Melissa Taylor’s Online Bible Study and we are studying  Let. It. Go. by Karen Ehman.  If you want to know how to stop running the show and start walking in faith, living a life free from control, I recommend reading her book today.  As you can see I personally have already experienced some life changing transformation and would love for you to join me.  Leave a commit today if you are living a life of control and are ready Let. It. Go.
