Seasons change. Some feel full of light and life. Others, not so much. But here’s what I’ve learned: your faith doesn’t have to shrink just because life feels hard. In fact, God has a plan for your faith to flourish in every season — even the difficult ones.

A WORD

"Blessed is the one...whose delight is in the law of the Lord... That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season." — Psalm 1:1-3 (Bible Gateway)

You can bloom in every season when your roots go deep in God. Here’s how to stay rooted and spiritually flourishing, no matter the season of life you’re in:

1. Soak in the Word

Let the Word Water Your Soul

Spending time in Scripture daily keeps your spirit nourished. Just like trees need streams, your soul needs the steady flow of God’s truth.

Scripture Keeps You Anchored

When life feels dry or stormy, God’s Word provides peace and direction. For extra encouragement, explore these 5 Bible Verses for When You Feel Stuck.

2. Pray Through the Seasons

Invite God Into Every Moment

Whether you’re rejoicing, grieving, thriving, or barely hanging on — bring it all to the Lord. Prayer roots your heart in God’s presence.

From Joy to Tears — Stay Connected

The Psalms are filled with prayers for every mood and moment. Use them as a guide when words are hard to find.

3. Keep Bearing Fruit

Your Faithfulness Matters

Sometimes we think fruit has to be big and visible. But small acts of obedience — showing up, loving others, choosing grace — count in God’s Kingdom.

Small Seeds Produce Eternal Harvest

Even when you don’t feel fruitful, trust that your rooted faith is producing results. Stay encouraged by growing in your walk with Jesus.

Let’s be real. Life is full. The to-do lists, the carpool lines, the Zoom meetings, the dinner prep — it can feel like peace is a luxury we can’t afford.

But God never intended for us to live burned out. He offers us a different pace — a grace-filled pace.

A WORD

"Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength." — Isaiah 40:31 (Bible Gateway)

This isn’t about doing less. It’s about living differently. It’s about choosing margin over madness and letting the Lord set the rhythm of your days.

Here’s how you can start building real peace into your schedule:

1. Protect Your Quiet Time

Your time with the Lord is sacred. Guard it like gold.

Make It Non-Negotiable

Create a daily space — no matter how small — where you can connect with God, pray, and reflect on His Word. Peace grows in stillness.

Create a Consistent Space for God

Whether it's early morning or before bed, pick a time you can commit to. Let God anchor your day. Learn more about how to stay grounded in Him through growing in your walk with Jesus.

2. Ask the Holy Spirit to Lead Your Calendar

Not everything that’s good is God. Let the Spirit prioritize your "yes."

Discern Between Good and God

Just because something aligns with your gifts doesn’t mean it aligns with your grace for the season. Invite the Holy Spirit into your schedule.

Surrender Your Schedule in Prayer

Before filling up your planner, take time to ask God what He wants for your day. When He leads, peace follows.

3. Choose Rest on Purpose

Sabbath isn’t legalism — it’s life-giving.

Embrace Sabbath as a Gift

God didn’t create rest as a restriction but as a rhythm. He knows our limits and lovingly calls us to stop, breathe, and enjoy Him.

Replenish Before You Break

Don’t wait for burnout. Plan rest like you plan meetings. Need help finding this rhythm? Our Grace for the Pace course is packed with practical tools to help you recharge and walk in God’s strength.

Peace isn’t passive. It’s a decision. You can build a life that flows with God’s rhythm — full of grace, space, and spiritual rest.

Rejection. We’ve all felt it. Whether it came from a friendship, a job, a relationship, or even within the church — it leaves a sting that can linger in your soul for years.

But can I remind you of something life-changing?

A WORD

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." — Psalm 34:18 (Bible Gateway)

You are not invisible to God. He sees you. He knows every detail of your story. And more than that, He has already approved of you in Christ.

When we live for the world’s approval, we end up exhausted. But when we rest in God’s approval, we are free. Breaking free from rejection begins with receiving His truth.

Here are 3 reminders to hold close today:

1. Rejection is Not Your Identity

Your worth isn’t based on someone’s opinion. It’s rooted in God’s love for you. People may walk away, but God’s presence remains.

Speak God's Truth Over Lies

When you hear the voice of rejection, replace it with the truth of God’s Word. Declare who He says you are.

Anchor Your Worth in Scripture

Learn more about growing in your walk with Jesus and how to cultivate a deep, personal relationship that builds your identity in Him.

2. God’s Love is Constant

Even when others walk away, Jesus never does. He draws near to the brokenhearted and surrounds you with grace.

God's Love is Unfailing

Rejection says, "You're not enough." God's love says, "You are chosen, called, and complete in Christ."

Find Encouragement in the Word

For encouragement when you feel stuck, check out these Bible verses that speak truth to your soul.

3. Healing is Possible

Take your wounds to the Lord. Let His truth replace the lies you’ve believed. Healing may not happen overnight, but it begins the moment you turn to Jesus.

Step Into the Healing Process

It takes courage to confront the pain of rejection. But healing is possible when you allow God's truth to renew your mind.

Find Support Along the Journey

You are already approved. You don’t need to earn it. Just receive it. Let God’s truth reshape your heart and set you free.

Why Generosity is God’s Design

Did you know that generosity is a key part of your faith journey? In fact, Jesus talked about money and giving more than almost any other topic!
📖 "Give, and it will be given to you." – Luke 6:38

5 Biblical Principles of Generous Living

1. Understand That God Owns Everything

Everything we have—our money, time, and talents—belongs to God. We’re simply stewards entrusted with His resources. When we shift our mindset from ownership to stewardship, generosity becomes a natural response.

📖 "The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it." – Psalm 24:1

2. Tithing: The First Step in Generous Living

The Bible teaches that giving the first 10% of our income honors God and unlocks blessing. Tithing isn’t about losing—it’s about putting God first and trusting Him to provide.

💡 Challenge: If you’re not tithing yet, start this month and see how God provides!

📖 "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse... Test me in this," says the Lord Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it." – Malachi 3:10

3. Give Joyfully, Not Reluctantly

God cares about the heart behind our giving. He doesn’t want us to give out of obligation but from a place of love and gratitude. Generosity should be a joyful act of worship!

📖 "Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." – 2 Corinthians 9:7

💡 Practical Tip: The next time you give—whether financially, through service, or encouragement—do it with joy and gratitude!

4. Trust God’s Provision

One of the biggest fears about giving is worrying that we won’t have enough. But God promises to take care of our needs when we trust Him. Generosity isn’t about giving from excess—it’s about trusting that God will supply all we need.

📖 "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." – Philippians 4:19

📝 Faith Step: Write down a time when God provided for you unexpectedly. Let it remind you that He is faithful!

5. Practice Financial Wisdom Alongside Generosity

Biblical generosity isn’t reckless—it’s paired with wise stewardship. Being generous doesn’t mean giving beyond our means, but rather managing our finances well so we can bless others.

📖 "The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down." – Proverbs 21:20

💡 Take Action: Create a budget that includes giving. Even a small, consistent habit of generosity can grow into a lifestyle that blesses others!

 Are You Ready to Live Generously?

When we give, we don’t lose—we gain. We step into God’s financial plan.
