A Moment to Reflect – Overwhelmed
When it seems there are too many things coming against you - physical issues, damaged relationships, emotional scars you never dealt with, discouragement, financial stress - you can feel overwhelmed.

A Moment to Reflect – Home
Sometimes you just have to push back the pain, the heartache, and all of the struggling and remember where you're headed. One day you'll see Jesus face to face and all of the sadness and pain of this world will have faded like the setting sun as you bask in the light of His glorious …
A Moment to Reflect – Comfort
Your comfort is not a compass for your direction or the steps you should take. Maybe you may feel so uncomfortable about a person or a situation, but no one else does, so you consider sticking around. Don't assume you're imagining it or there's something wrong with you. The Holy Spirit may be stirring this …

A Moment to Reflect – Forgiveness
Forgiveness is crucial. If you hold a grudge and refuse to forgive someone for the way they treated you, the way they hurt you (intentional or not), you're allowing the pain to fester. When you forgive someone, you're not saying what happened was ok. You're not shrugging it off, allowing the person to do it …
A Moment to Reflect – Pain
Physical pain can torment you, keeping you up at night and agitated and grumpy throughout the day. This is no mystery to God. He created your body, and He fully understands what's "off." Cry out to Him. He will hold you in the night. He will whisper and lead you to relief, guiding you to …
