& my obsession will be to know my God. @petrichorfaith - Tumblr Blog

Your most profound and intimate experiences of worship will likely be in your darkest days- when you’re out of options, when the pain is great and you turn to God alone. It is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heartfelt, honest-to-God prayers. When we’re in pain, we don’t have the energy for superficial prayers.

We cannot pray in love and live in hate and still think we are worshipping God.

There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.

Our job is to love people. When it hurts. When it’s awkward. When it’s uncool and embarrassing. Our job is to stand together, to carry the burdens of one another and to meet each other in our questions.

First steps always seem like not enough, but they are the bravest and they start the journey to where you’re meant to go. It takes great trust to believe in the smallness of beginnings.

When you can’t even understand what’s going on with yourself, He does. He’ll happily listen to you ramble and vent. God is your best friend.

“As those words began to take root in me, as I read and reread them, as I prayed and listened, I felt my tangled spirit begin to untangle. I felt my breath slow and deepen. I felt a part of the natural world, governed by a good God, created with care and attentive-ness. I felt my daughter-ness, my place in the family of God. And I exhaled.”
