I’ve felt it in my spirit for a while now—I’m too attached to social media.

There’s a temptation to lose sight of God’s goodness while in the desert season of waiting. If I don’t tether my heart to God’s promises, I might even lose sight of God altogether.

In chasing what I long for, I often forget that I’m living in the midst of what I once prayed for.

So I talk to my soul: Remember God. Remember His goodness. Trust His timing. Trust His hand.

Here are some verses in the Bible that are helping me anchor my heart…

There are days when it feels like I've made no progress at all. I build routines, practice managing my emotions, and learn from past mistakes, only to face new challenges that leave me feeling like I'm back at square one.

But here's what I'm learning: the cycle isn't futile. It's actually an upward spiral. It's progress.

Each time we face a struggle, we're not starting over; we're building on what we've already learned. We're stronger than we were before, even if it doesn't feel that way in the moment.
