------ A Prayer for Those in Waiting Dear Lord, You are good. You are good no matter what, no matter when, and always. You reign Sovereign in every season. You are never perplexed, never surprised, and never confused by what I face. I have confidence that You have been working and will continue working to fulfill Your plan in my life for my good and for Your glory. Father, in this season of waiting, I need You near to me. Surround me with Your presence. My heart is fragile in the in-between, and I cannot trust my human emotions. Forgive me for the moments where I grasp for control instead of fully surrendering to You. Forgive me for allowing my thoughts to spiral into worry instead of taking those thoughts captive and turning them into prayers. Forgive me for giving into fear and anxiety instead of trusting in Your promise that You are good, and You care for me. Forgive me, Lord, if I exalt myself by allowing my circumstances to dictate my faith and trust in You. Forgive me for wasting my moments on what-ifs instead of using my moments to worship. Be evident to me, God. Bring to my mind the evidence of Your faithfulness in my life – past and present. Interrupt my spiraling thoughts and remind me of Your Truth. Humble me with Your peace and sovereignty. Bring me to my knees in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. I accept Your peace, which goes beyond my understanding, that I might guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. I will worship You for commanding things to unfold exactly as they should. I surrender to You, Almighty God. My heart, my thoughts, my circumstances, my future; it is all Yours. I lay it at Your feet in full surrender, knowing that my life is best in Your hands. I cannot do it myself, Lord, and I don’t want to, Because I know that there is freedom in my full surrender. Be near to me, Lord. I do not want to go anywhere where You are not evidently before me. But sometimes, I move forward in an effort to make my own way, find my own path, or placate my anxious heart. Stop me, gracious Father, from moving in any direction that You have not ordained for me. Trip my step, avert my eyes, and disrupt my route until I am back in step with You. Help me have peace in Your pacing. You love me too much to do anything outside of Your perfect timing. I surrender all to You, Lord. I need You. I praise You. I love You. Thank You for loving me. Amen. By Lisa Beymer

In this thought-provoking episode, Sarah delves into the profound message of Galatians 5:16 and its connection to being conscientious stewards of the resources we've been entrusted with. Join Sarah as she explores the wisdom behind "walking by the Spirit" and how it guides us away from gratifying the desires of the flesh. We'll uncover the timeless relevance of Galatians in the Christian faith and shed light on its practical applications for today's world.

Sarah dissects the verse's meaning and implications, investigating how aligning our actions with spiritual guidance leads to a righteous life. The journey continues by bridging this spiritual insight to the concept of stewardship—a holistic approach to responsibly managing our finances, environment, time, talents, and relationships.

Drawing inspiration from the parable of the talents, we see how stewardship is deeply rooted in biblical teachings and how it harmonizes with the principles of Galatians 5:16. Delving into the heart of the matter, we explore how walking by the Spirit transforms our attitudes toward material possessions and resources, encouraging us to be thoughtful and compassionate stewards.

Amidst the challenges of today's consumer-driven society, Sarah candidly address the struggles of maintaining a spiritual walk while striving to be good stewards. However, the rewards of aligning our lives with these principles are immeasurable.

In the final segments, we guide you through introspection and application, urging you to reflect on your own life and identify areas for growth in stewardship. Setting achievable goals, Sarah challenges you to integrate the teachings of Galatians 5:16 and responsible stewardship into your daily life.

Tune in to uncover the transformative power of Galatians 5:16 and learn how to navigate life's complexities with spiritual wisdom and responsible stewardship.

So you are ready to transform your body? That's amazing.

Remember, diets treat only the symptom - not the root problem. I think we use them for a quick fix because they are easier than doing the heart work. 

But we need the heart work for transformations. 

Sister, I encourage you to lean in, listen to this podcast with an open heart, and trust God's opinion of you and stop listening to the lies. 

That way, you can be a good steward of all your resources and truly transform every area of your life.

When you feel stressed, pressed, or just worn thin, how do you treat your body? That's a question I'm digging into on this week's podcast.

I don't have to tell you how hard life can be - you KNOW this fact is true.  I want to encourage you that even in this season, God is providing. 

Verse: 

The Lord will guide you always;
    he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
    and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
    like a spring whose waters never fail.

Isaiah 58:11
