Seeking Things Above- a Stress Buster

Giving Thanks in All Things

We are called to give thanks both for the blessings we can see and for God's glory in the ways we cannot see it. God is bigger than what we can understand , and His glory and love for us are not dependent on circumstances.

Even If/ What Then?

If God doesn't answer my prayers in the way I ask, in the time frame I ask, what then? Even if He doesn't, I'm going to choose to remain faithful, because who He is does not change based on circumstances.

The Present of Presence

We aren't always called to fix situations. Sometimes, we are just called to walk with others on their journeys, and that presence is a true gift.
