Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
MATTHEW 6:33
When everything around us is shifting, there is one thing that is certain: Times of struggle provide the sweetest opportunities to grow. ⁣

⁣When we feel pressure, we have an opportunity to press in. ⁣

⁣When we feel scared, we have an opportunity to seek. ⁣

⁣When we feel overwhelmed, we have an opportunity to be changed. ⁣

My prayer in this time is that we would be encouraged to think through what it is that is lasting and eternal and put all our efforts to invest in what matters most. ⁣

⁣Maybe it’s slowing down to connect with that particularly difficult child. ⁣

⁣Maybe it’s pursuing a meaningful, or possibly overdue, conversation with your spouse. ⁣

⁣Maybe it’s asking a neighbor if you can serve them in some way or carving out the time to just get to know them.⁣

⁣Maybe it’s finally addressing that wedge that’s grown between you and another. ⁣

⁣Maybe it’s being present instead of rushing past.⁣
