Psalm 116:3 says, “Death wrapped its ropes around me; the terrors of the grave overtook me. I saw only trouble and sorrow.” Have you ever felt gripped by fear, paralysed by racing thoughts, or overwhelmed by relentless worry? I’ve been there. There are times when anxiety feels like a trap, where every frightening thought the…

Worship music has always been more than just a collection of songs to me; it has been my refuge, my place of healing, and my way of connecting with God in moments of deep grief and brokenness. I first encountered this power when I lost my mother in a tragic car accident at the age…

Matthew 11:28-30 (NLT) is a beautiful reminder of Jesus’ invitation to exchange our burdens for His rest. He says, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart,…

If God Himself blessed the act of resting and declared it holy, then constantly overworking is not…

2 Corinthians 1:9-10 (NLT) says: “In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead. And he did rescue us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in him, and he will…

As I reflect on the story of the Israelites and their time in Egypt, I am filled with awe at how God orchestrates our lives, even when we can’t see it. The Israelites’ journey to Egypt began during a time of great need. There was a severe famine in the land, and their move to…
