Reality Reflections With Kendra Von Esh

Sometimes we are in such a mess with life and dealing with things that we don't feel God's peace in our lives. Maybe you feel deserted or he left you or you aren't praying much because the less you feel Him, the less you pray? Listen in - you have to be persistent!  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/reality-reflections/support

How did you start your day today? Did you plan your day out in every detail or did you give thanks to God and surrender to listen to His promptings throughout the day? Yes, we all have obligations and things we MUST do - but there are also those moments where we need to listen to His voice and trust Him. Do you trust that your sufferings are what He wants for you right now? Are you embracing your cross or are you trying to get rid of it? Listen in and I also wanted to share a FREE prayer guide packed with prayers for those issues in our lives with addictions, stress/worry/anxiety, illness, financial issues and many others!  https://kendravonesh.com/need-a-miracle-now/  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/reality-reflections/support

Do you ever think that you don't deserve to be loved, especially from God? Do you hear those negative voices telling you how horrible you are - what you did, what you said and that God couldn't possibly love you? Yeah, I have been struggling with some thoughts that have haunted me and today was a pivot point. I have been reading the book Unbound by Neal Lozano and realizing EVEN MORE NOW that those negative thoughts are NOT OF GOD - they are of the EVIL ONE! And guess what, you can stop them!  Listen in....and check out the book, too! (Yes, my Spiritual Director said it was a good book!) There is GOOD and EVIL and we are in the battle of our lives people - time to pay attention and arm yourself for the fight with the best tools possible and follow the light, peace and love of God! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/reality-reflections/support
