Even through hard times, God’s goodness and mercy will follow us and eventually catch up! Day 40 of the 40 day devotional.

When everything has been stripped from your life and you stand alone and “naked” what do you do? Where do you find your worth? What can you learn about yourself? Facing your nakedness can be a turning point for you.

Oswald Chambers spoke of a “discipline of darkness.” This means that God teaches us things during dark times that we will never learn in the light. What might God be teaching you during your season of loss or hardship?

Sometimes our anxiety turns prayer into obsessive venting sessions. But we would be wise to sit in silence to see if we can hear what God is trying to tell us.

In this post I explore a meditation by Richard Rohr on how failure can help us get it right and how perfection can be our enemy.

Richard Rohr speaks about there being two halves to life. In order to successfully enter the second half it requires a stripping of much of what you’ve worked hard to achieve.

When we experience a setback we often fear the worsts case scenario… losing everything. But Richard Rohr helps us to see that losing everything can bring freedom.
