Have you ever had to fall apart completely before you could finally accept the help that was right in front of you? Do you feel weary and out of control, like you need more self control just to hold it together, wondering if you had to hit rock bottom just to notice God was trying to rescue you the whole time? If you're anxious, unhappy, and struggling to regulate your emotions right now, asking "God, really? Did I have to suffer this much?"... this episode is for you.

In this episode, I open up about something I don't love talking about — because look where I am now. But I know I need to say it, because I needed to hear it. For a long time, it was easy for me to blame God for my hardships. I needed to hit rock bottom before I could actually appreciate the rescue He had in store for me. But here's what I've learned: God doesn't delight in our suffering. He's concerned for us, and He rescues us. But we have to pray.

Scriptures referenced:

• Galatians 5:22 — the fruit of the Spirit, including peace and patience
• 1 Peter 5:7 — "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you"
