God does not want to make us comfortable as much as He wants to make us comfort-able - to take the comfort that we receive and share it with others.

Because He's near, we dont have to be anxious or feel out of control. We have peace that rises above any circumstance!

I want my kids to head out the door full of peace, not the echoes of my frustrations.

When to give grace? I'd rather stand before God knowing I loved others too much rather than regretting that I judged too harshly.

Feelings are indicators, not dictators. They can indicate where your heart is in the moment, but that doesn't mean they have the right to dictate your behavior and boss you around. You are more than the sum total of your feelings and perfectly capable of that little gift . . . called self-control.

Don't allow the unrealistic demands of others to march freely into your life.

When God becomes routine rather than revival, it's time to switch things up.
