30 Days Of Emotional Healthనమూనా

Once I became a grown up, I quickly realized life wasn’t full of roses and unicorns.

I’m constantly asking God for help with my meager parenting skills, marriage, our finances, wisdom I could give to loved ones battling life’s tragedies—like the devastating loss of a family member or marriage.

Some days I’m scared to answer the phone, afraid of the news that could come from the other end.

I hate feeling helpless over the circumstances that seem to swarm like hornets around me. I can only pray Jesus hears my heart’s cry and reduces my anguish over the problems that are out of my control.

Thank goodness my life in this fallen world isn’t my final destination, or yours, if you’ve put your faith in Jesus. When our earthly days are over, we’ll be received into heaven for eternity. We get to sit before our King forever. We’ll no longer deal with hatred, sickness, or monthly utility bills. We’ll never watch loved ones go through chemotherapy or counsel a friend with a failing marriage. We won’t bring our adult problems into heaven with us. We’ll be glorious and made perfect in Christ’s image. Thanks be to God for this!

Take a moment to praise God for His promise of glory that’ll be revealed in us upon entering His Holy Realm.
