Episode notes
Unplanned Unrelenting Undeserved Problems Hurt Most
- Unplanned, unrelenting, and undeserved problems are the hardest to handle.
- Rick Warren emphasizes these hurts are especially painful because you neither caused nor expected them, so they feel deeply unfair.
Call Out For Help And Be Humble
- Call out to God and admit your inadequacy to access sustaining grace.
- Warren says God gives grace to the humble, so pray passionately and honestly rather than mouthing perfunctory words.
Use Scripture Daily To Renew Strength
- Fill your mind with God's Word daily to be strengthened and revived.
- Warren recommends a modern translation like the New Living Version and cites Psalm requests to be revived by God's word.
