593 // Frustrated with the Mental War? How to Use God’s Word to Keep Running in Faith (Bible Study and Devotional)
Description
Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a reminder that even when life feels overwhelming, God renews us day by day. We’re continuing our study of 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, reflecting on what it means to fix our eyes on the unseen and live with an eternal perspective. In these verses, Paul encourages us that our present troubles—though they feel heavy—are light and momentary compared to the eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
We also dive into Day 3 of Christine Caine’s devotional You’re Not Finished Yet, where she shares the powerful analogy of running a marathon. Just like hitting the “wall” in a long race, we all face moments in our faith journey where our minds scream for us to quit. Yet, with God’s Word in our hearts and the encouragement of a faith-filled community, we find the endurance to keep going.
If you’ve ever felt like you’ve run out of strength or wondered how to keep pressing forward in difficult seasons, this episode will encourage you to take heart. Jesus Himself reminds us in John 16:33 that though we will face trouble in this world, we can have peace because He has overcome it all.
