With personal stories and practical strategies, Laura L. Smith gently guides you through simple practices like prayer, gratitude, Bible memorization, exercise, sleep, counseling, journaling, and so many more, all to help you find rest and peace in God’s unconditional love.

The question for us is are we secure in our identity in Christ or driven by insecurities and a longing to be championed and celebrated by everyone else? When we live and lead from insecurity it leads us to a place where we need a gift from everyone else.

Saint Ignatius (www.PrayAsYouGo.com) believed that God could speak to us just as clearly in our imagination as through our thoughts and our memories. In his Spiritual Exercises he writes of contemplation as a very active way of engaging your feelings, emotions, and senses to place your self in the scene described. Listen to the events of Jesus’ life described in these reflections. Pay attention to the details: sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and feelings of the event. Lose yourself in the story.
