Your Perspective of Life

Have you ever experienced something tragic that's left you broken? Are your thoughts sometimes filled with "what-if" worries or scary scenarios that keep you awake at night? Does fear and frustration hold you hostage today?

If so, I understand. I've been there. God's Word is the answer to help you move beyond your doubts to freedom with a new level of powerful courage. Real and sustainable freedom from doubt can only be found in Jesus Christ and through His powerful Word.

Here's what I've discovered: What consumes our thoughts overtakes our thought life. We can't change what's happened in our past, but we can change how we respond to those difficult situations in the future.

As people of faith, we find freedom from doubt when we choose to capture those moments of failure, cover them with God's Word and begin building a healthy thought life as we place our trust in Him.

Commit to focusing on thoughts that bring life, hope and freedom. Surrender your broken memories to God and allow Him to saturate them with His healing grace. It will change your perspective on life.

Isaiah 43:18, 19 "Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert."
