How to Apply It

This week, try to take a moment each day to reflect on the wonder around you. Whether it’s the beauty of nature or the kindness of someone, let these moments remind you of how great and vast God is. When you face a challenge, pause and remind yourself that it’s okay not to understand everything. You can pray or journal about what you’re feeling, and include questions you have. Embrace the mystery and allow it to deepen your relationship with God, rather than feeling pressured to have all the answers.
