Anticipating the Holidays
Many of us look forward with anticipation to the holidays! Just thinking about them can bring back warm memories of special times with family and friends. However, many of us approach the holidays with mixed emotions. Holiday gatherings have the potential to be times of joyful connection and celebrating meaningful traditions with people we love. But for some of us, the holidays can be some of the loneliest times in the year. For others, the holidays can seem overwhelming due to the increased pace of life as well as some of the relational difficulties we encounter. The holidays will soon be upon us. What can you do to prepare your heart to not just survive but to thrive this holiday season.
Fighting Fear
From the very beginning, God’s children have been fighting fear. In the Garden, Adam and Eve hid from their Creator instead of running to Him for help. Fear is one of the greatest weapons in the adversary’s arsenal to rob us from enjoying God’s presence and hinder us from reflecting God’s character. Fears are the arrows that poke holes in our joy balloons! Fears deprive us from reaching our full, God-given potential.
