anxiousness — Daily Devotion — Kristen Alexis Cave

The three months after my wedding were some of the most stressful I’ve ever experienced. I got married. I moved in with my husband’s apartment, but only for a couple of months before we moved to a different state. My husband sprained his ACL and LCL playing basketball. Our dog had three different health emergencies. We had one of our cars in the shop so we were down to one car for two people. And we were trying to buy a house. Needless to say, a lot of different things were occupying my mind.

10 Verses For When You're Afraid

Did you know that the Bible says, “fear not” 365 times? I’m not one to believe in coincidences when it comes to God. I think it was very purposeful that the same number of times we’re told not to be afraid is the same number of days there are in a year.

The Value In Choosing Prayer

We have access to so much power, so much perspective, and so much peace through prayer. The God of the universe wants to talk to us. He wants us to tell Him about what’s on our hearts. He wants us to seek His guidance, His direction, and His wisdom. And so often I feel like we take these truths for granted.

Encouragement For The One Who's Stressed Out

Later tonight, I have a phone call scheduled with my best friend, Melanie. (Yes we schedule our phone calls. They normally last 2-3 hours so it’s worth blocking out the calendar. Don’t judge us.) This is a phone call I’ve been looking forward to for a week now, especially since the last few days have been pretty stress-filled.

It's Time To Jump

If I’m being honest, fear of rejection and fear of failure have always been two of my greatest fears. They’re often hiding behind the excuses I make for hesitating to take a leap of faith. Fear-filled questions swarm my mind, trying to convince me not to go after something that might seem risky, even if I feel like that something is what the Lord is pointing me towards.

God Cares About The Little Things

When it came time for me to register for my second semester of freshman year classes, I realized I only had one more science class I had to take before I would be done with science for the rest of my life. This writing lover couldn’t have been more thrilled. So as I scrolled through the different options, I came across a class entitled “Physical Geography.” With my other options being chemistry and physics (I had already taken biology the previous semester), I figured this was my best option, so I claimed my spot and added the geography class to my schedule.
