🌟 Are you facing challenges in life?

It happens to all of us.

James 5:10-11 reminds us sometimes we simply just endure—like Job and the prophets, who trusted God was at work, even in their suffering.

No matter what you're going through, God is at work.

Hold onto Him.

You have purpose.

But sometimes our sense of purpose or living a meaningful life—slips from us.

Sometimes the amount of injustice in our world, in our country, can shake us. “How long, Lord?,” we may we pray.

James’ words encourage us. “Be patient,” he says. “It will all work out because the Lord is full of compassion and mercy” (James 5:11).

In times of stress or anxiety, it's easy to fall into a trap of worst-case scenarios.

👉 But here's the pivotal moment: by pausing and redirecting our thoughts toward what is good, true, we replace fear with truth. 🌟

You have purpose.

Do you believe that?

Because for more than a decade, I didn't.

But now I have seen through the story of God that purpose is innate in who we are.

Join me on a six-week exploration of purpose through the story of God (FREE).

Psalm 32:8 is a verse I hold onto. He WILL teach us. He WILL instruct us in the way to go. We can trust Him and lean on Him.

🤔 REFLECT:
▫️ What is one way you need God's teaching and guidance today?
▫️ Pause and pray and ask for His help.

In a world full of pressures to perform, remember that we're saved by grace, not our deeds. (Ephesians 2:8–9).

When we embrace grace, our lives flow from a place of grace.

🤔 REFLECT:
▫️ What is one way you have been trying to perform to earn favor from God?
▫️ Pray about it.

When we feel far from God, James 4:7–10 teaches us to:

1. Submit to God. What is something you are holding back? Pray about it.
2. Draw near to God. Is there a spiritual practice you can recommit to doing to spend a moment with God more consistently?

Pause the scroll and meditate on a few verses in James.

James 4:7–10 (Listen to Reel)

Meditate:
▫️ What did you notice in this passage?
▫️ Dwell on this for a moment.

Reflect:
▫️ What is one thing you need to submit to God?
▫️ Pray about this and anything else on your heart.

When you feel anxious,
turn that anxiety into prayer.

It might go something like this:
Breathe in deep and release.
"God I feel anxious about (fill in the blank).
Please help me know what I can do
And do it.
And please help me trust You
with the rest."
Amen.

Desolate moments can feel overwhelming, but remember, God is with you (Immanuel).
Jesus has come—He is with us by His Spirit—and He will come again.

Your turn:
💦 Speak your burden out loud to Him.
💦 Invite His presence and power into your barren place.

Seana Scott @seanascott.bsky.social · 29d

When you feel disconnected with God, do this one thing:

Stop.
Pray to invite God's presence.
Rest in His presence for a moment.

Sometimes connecting with God
is as simple as being present with Him
right where we are.

I imagine words like bricks, laying the foundation of our lives. We build layer by layer and then live within what we build with our words.

What kind of life do we want to dwell in? How can we use our words to build that life?
