Week 25: Shaken In Psalms 55:22, David tells us to, ”Give your burdens to the Lord and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.” And I didn’t. I could be strong when I needed to, be still when I needed to, and just break down uncontrollably when I needed to.

Week 24: Fatigued God gives us respite. God gives us complete direction. We recite the 23rd Psalm without thinking; we know it from rote memorization. But when we meditate on it, everything becomes so much clearer. God, through David, tells us to rest.

Week 22: Contempt Contempt breeds pain. Contempt breeds heartache, frustration, sadness, and anger

Week 21: Guilt Forgiving ourselves must take place to move beyond feelings of shame and guilt. Forgiving ourselves and overcoming self-criticism, self-destructing behaviors (alcohol or food as a way of deadening emotions), self-sabotage (continuing lousy behavior, starting fights), believing you do not deserve good things, and releasing these feelings is essential for us to move on.

Week 20: Peace Psalm 91:1 tells us that “those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” God tells us over and over again where to find rest. In His shadow, in His loving arms, in His presence.

Week 19: Drive Solomon's drive to complete the Lord's house and celebrate God with significant sacrifices was rewarded by God's presence coming down to the temple.

We focus on being everything to everyone – the perfect mom, wife, partner, employee. We lose ourselves and sacrifice who we are in the process. When anything threatens our image of perfection or when something feels out of control, we lose it and rage.

Chosen, selected, wanted. Those words are so special and their meaning. When we speak of being chosen as people, we understand this to mean above all others we are selected. Or, with other options available we stood out. Full Episode Text: https://www.responsiblyauthentic.com/biblestudy/chosen Mailing List: https://www.responsiblyauthentic.com/contact

Trust is difficult for many of us due to our past which shapes us, but our faithfulness to God requires that we trust in Him and His plan. We need to seek His guidance and listen to His quiet voice. Link: https://www.responsiblyauthentic.com/biblestudy/unfaithful

Today out fear may be different than the Israelites fear but no less real to each one of us. The question: is our fear impacting God’s desire for our life? Are our fears holding us back from what God has destined for us to do?

How do we overcome feelings of helplessness? By relying on God’s word, reading God’s word, and meditating on His word.

God wants the best for us and it is through that desire for the best for us that God is jealous. He knows that through Him we will find the love, the acceptance, the peace we all long for.

Sometimes when we are so deep in the every day, we do not even realize we are thirsting for God.

Rest is not only sleep, but also clearing one’s mind, creating room, creating margin in our lives like the margin on a piece of paper.

The atonement process was created so that we have time to reflect on her sin, think about what we have done. We all need some time out, some reflection on where life is and where we want it to be.

Dive into the motion of idolatrous. Being authentic and taking responsibility for emotions based on biblical guidance.

Black and white thinking can come in and cut small minded thinking. Open yourself up to the blessings that God has in store for you. https://www.responsiblyauthentic.com/biblestudy/small-minded
