God, Are You Going to Show Up for Me?

Sometimes the struggles of life take us under and sweep us away into unknown depths we’ve never experienced. How do you deal with overwhelm?

When Life Feels Impossible
Have you ever felt like life is simply impossible? The things that are marching hard and loud into your life appear too big, too bad, and the hope of help feels out of reach. What do you do when life feels impossible? I’ve been there more times than I can count. But on one particular day the worry over my current battle wounded my heart. It felt like God wasn’t helping me. I stood in my bathroom crying tears of frustration for the third day in a row. I struggled in my mind if it was just hormonal or if my
