#21 Leaning on God First: Rest, Prayer, and Biblical Literacy

Community, Episodes, Faith, Resources

May 3, 2021

Hey guys welcome back to the Grace Room Podcast, I am so excited to introduce Morgan Pearce. Today we are going to talk about how to operate from a place of rest in Jesus. How to press into God’s presence and why that is so good for our souls. We also talk about identity and the importance of placing it in God rather than in other things that will ultimately leave us wanting and disappointed. It can be hard to trust in God’s plans but part of learning to do that is to rest in knowing WHO God is and WHAT he has done! With that said, we are wrapping up Season 1 with Morgan’s episode! THANK YOU for spending time with me in this season of your life! I am humbled and honored that I get to host this podcast for the women who need community but more importantly need Jesus!

get ready to learn about:

How we can trust God with our life even when we don’t know what’s next
What it means to take a step of faith in obedience to God
The importance of rest and observing the Sabbath
How trials change us and shape us into who God wants us to be
The importance of reading and memorizing scripture
Tangible ways to help you memorize scripture

quotes mentioned:

“I think we hit that point in some point in our lives, where push comes to shove, and the Lord’s like ‘hey, just follow Me. Do that step that’s in front of you and it’ll be ok. I’m faithful to keep My promises, I go before you, you’re going to be fine.’ ”

“When we take time to rest we can operate out of a place of abundance and not scarcity.”

“Rest is not just something we should do, it is actually something we are commanded to do.”

“Do not make big decisions in isolation.”

“Community, in whatever sense of the word that is for you – that is a gift from the Lord.”

“The Lord was truly the only thing I knew in that season. He was the most consistent thing – He is always the most consistent thing.”

“If you truly believe that God is who He says He is, deep down in your heart, then no matter what you’re doing, nothing else matters. The unknown truly does not matter because you have the Lord.”
