Are you exhausted from trying to be perfect? Here's the liberating truth: God's commands are not burdensome or out of reach (Deuteronomy 30:11-14). The perfection trap is a lie that makes you believe your performance impacts God's love for you. In this 20-minute teaching, I expose three deceptions of perfectionism: the all-or-nothing thinking that keeps you striving, the pride hidden in self-reliance, and the false belief that you must earn sanctification even though salvation is a gift. Freedom comes when you shift from performance to relationship. Stop trying to earn what God has already freely given you through grace. Your worth isn't measured by your productivity or perfection - it's secured by Christ's finished work on the cross.

Have you ever felt spiritually distant from God? Like He's far away or silent? I want you to know - you're not alone in this feeling, and more importantly, your feelings don't reflect God's reality.

In this teaching, I walk through 6 actionable steps that will help you reconnect with God and experience His nearness again:

1. Anchor your day in Scripture
2. Pray Scripture-based prayers
3. Worship God today
4. Attend church gatherings
5. Serve someone in need
6. Journal about God's faithfulness

Grounded in Deuteronomy 31:8 and Psalm 145:18, this message is for anyone who feels spiritually stuck or disconnected. God promises He will never leave you or forsake you, and He is near to all who call on Him.

Reconnecting requires intentional action through Bible reading, prayer, worship, community, service, and reflection. My heart's desire is to encourage you if you're ready to give up - God knows exactly what you're going through and what you need.

Join Shawna Marie Bryant as she opens the Bible with you to Deuteronomy 31:8, and discover the truth in this declaration: God is never not near me.
