Faithful Writers

Maybe the mirror isn’t your enemy. Maybe it’s been waiting for you to see what God’s been saying all along: you were never meant to chase perfection—you were meant to remember you are already wonderfully made.

If anyone else talked to me the way I talk to myself, I’d call it abuse. But when it’s my own voice, I pretend it’s “motivation.”

As I’ve grown older, I’ve discovered something unexpected about myself: I’m deeply sensitive to noise. Yet somehow, the laughter of children outdoors and the rustle of wind in the trees bring me joy instead of exhaustion.

Forgiving yourself isn’t about minimizing your past—it’s about magnifying what Jesus did. God buried your guilt long ago; it’s time to stop digging it back up.

What if worry is just praying for something bad to happen? In this reflection on gratitude and faith, we learn to reframe anxiety through God’s promises of peace and purpose.

The world doesn’t fall apart when you take a nap… It quietly keeps spinning — held together not by your effort, but by His grace.

You don’t need to prove your value to people who only see fragments of your story. Your worth was settled long before anyone had an opinion

She’s read that God loves her, that Christ has set her free to live a victorious life over sin, so why does she keep blowing it? Her fist pounds the wobbly metal table, hoping the inanimate object will let out the scream she can not.

What if every ordinary moment—your commute, your morning coffee, your laundry folding—could become a meeting place with God? Hosting His presence daily isn’t about perfection but about awareness. It’s learning to invite Him into the simple, quiet spaces of life.

Worry never actually fixes anything, but we keep doing it like it’s our job, don’t we? Jesus talked about this and shared several practical solutions. They’re not deep theology. Just real, day-to-day stuff.

Depression and Anxiety are real conditions, not a sin or a punishment. I’m here to reassure you that even some of the greatest people in the Bible suffered from Depression and Anxiety, and the Lord still wanted them for His work and more assuredly LOVED them despite their conditions and did not blame them for it.

We’ve built entire sermons around words Jesus never spoke. It’s time we stop preaching a misquote and start living the truth.

I have dealt with intrusive thoughts since I was a child, it straight-up sucks. What's even more exhausting is the judgment I’ve gotten from people over the years, and to be completely honest — it’s one thing to get ignorant comments from a nonbeliever, but it’s a completely different story getting ignorant comments of any kind from a Christian when you too are a Christian.

Here’s the thing to realize: when you are in a storm, and in the back of your mind, you remember all those phrases said about God being silent. They are not all good and have the potential to worsen your loneliness and damage your relationship with God because you are thinking about it the wrong way.

I survived what should have been an unsurvivable time. Broken moments became pieces of my story, and now I share them to give hope, reassurance, and courage to anyone who needs it.
