    Faith and Trust in God: Verses for Every Season

    August 12, 2025 /

    Some mornings begin quietly, yet the weight of the day already presses in. The blinking notifications on my laptop, a sink with dishes I meant to wash yesterday, the small pile of clothes on a chair—they all seem to speak at once. I log in for another stretch of online consultations, and later, step out to help at church. By the time I return, the question lingers—not loudly, but enough to stir my thoughts—Have I poured myself out where it truly matters? That’s when I go back to Bible verses about faith and trust—not as a quick fix, but as an anchor. Trusting God in uncertain times isn’t about pretending…

    When Work Overwhelms You: Bible Verses That Help

    August 6, 2025 /

    Some days, it’s not just the tasks—it’s the tangle of them. There are moments, especially as a single woman working online from a quiet little apartment, when the stillness of the space doesn’t match the noise in my head. Clients to follow up with. Messages to answer. Nutritional plans to update. Add to that my small but steady role helping at church… and suddenly, everything feels stacked. Too much for one heart. Too many tabs open, both on my screen and in my soul. I´ve tried so many things but, the truth is that overwhelmed Christian women don’t need better hustle strategies. We need a different kind of strength. Something…

    Lessons from Stories of Gratitude in the Bible

    July 3, 2025 /

    There’s something deeply grounding about the stories of gratitude in the Bible. They don’t just tell us what to do—they show us how people, real people, responded to God’s presence with thanks, often in situations that didn’t make sense. These stories aren’t always about comfort or blessings in abundance. Sometimes, they begin in barren places—waiting rooms, prison walls, aching hearts. Yet still, these individuals paused to express thanksgiving. It’s worth asking: why? In everyday life, it’s easy to forget the power of thankfulness. The noise of obligations, disappointments, and just…life, can crowd out even the smallest moment of praise. But gratitude, especially biblical gratitude, isn’t about pretending things are fine. It’s…

    How to Make Time for God Daily: What the Bible Says

    June 23, 2025 /

    It’s easy to say “God is the most important thing in my life.” But—if we’re honest—our calendars often tell a different story. Between packed schedules, endless to-do lists, and the quiet fatigue of much serving, time with God tends to get pushed to the margins. I’ve been there. Mornings slip by while I juggle breakfast and work drop-offs, and by the time evening comes… my mind is tired and my heart scattered.But here’s the truth: spending time with God isn’t another task—it’s a lifeline. Like newborn babies crave milk, our soul thirsts for communion with the Heavenly Father. We were never meant to navigate different seasons of life without hearing the voice of God regularly. Scripture whispers this throughout its pages.…
