We’re taught to forgive when we are wronged, to turn the other cheek. Sometimes it’s even more difficult to forgive ourselves.

Emotional and physical pain are parts of life, but that doesn’t make them easy to endure. Sometimes prayer is the best medicine.

GPS cannot rescue us when we’re lost in grief or panic. We need a higher power to guide us out of the mess we make for ourselves.

God sends us blessings throughout the day, though we don’t always recognize them. To cultivate a grateful heart, first pray for openness.

With the health crisis and unrest facing our world, finding a reason to be joyful may be hard. But it’s important that we smile—even if it’s through tears.
