Hey Friend! 

You are not going to want to miss one minute of today’s episode because we chat about a struggle I’ve heard whispered by pastor’s wives (yep), prodigals (definitely!), and everyone in between. In fact, it’s probably safe to say we all struggle with this issue at some point. What is it? 

Here’s a hint: it’s not a behavior; it’s a belief. 

“I have a hard time believing God loves me.

It’s not that we have difficulty believing in God’s love for us generically, but sometimes we have difficulty living like it’s true for us personally.

As it turns out, this is a really big deal. When we don’t live in light of God’s love it affects everything about us; the way we see ourselves, our circumstances, our decisions, our world. 

So, tune in to find out what to do when God’s love seems distant.

You are loved (you really are!),

Donna
