Pray. Trust. Ride: Lessons on Surrender from a Cowgirl and a King
by Lisa BoucherPray. Trust. Ride: encourages you to stay in the saddle and ride through life with a looser rein. We live more fully when we can let go— even when all looks bleak and our brains scream, Hang on and do something! Do anything! Fix this! Stop that! The truth is, those problems that strangle our hearts are the sort of problems that we can&’t fix. King Jehoshaphat understood that when he was boxed in by his enemy; at his most vulnerable moment, he leaned on God and let go of the outcome. Using this approach as her guiding principle, Lisa Boucher shares in this helpful guide how to lean on spiritual principles to help people live with less anxiety and strife, and how letting go allows us to accept that we can&’t solve all our problems; we can&’t save others from themselves; we can&’t stop the inevitable from happening. What we can do is let go and trust that God has our backs.
Pray While You're Prey: How God Turned My Loneliness and Frustration into Contentment and Commitment
by Toni WortherlyBeing single is not a prison sentence. It is not a cage that holds you captive. In fact, it is the ultimate freedom. It is freedom to discover God’s will for your life, to live a fulfilling life. It is the ability to run free in this jungle of a world, knowing that when the time is right, a good hunter will snare you and hold you captive, while God reveals a new purpose for you. If anyone had said these things to me, even while I was writing this book, I would not have believed it, but God led me on a journey. A journey from frustration to contentment. A journey from loneliness to commitment. Not the commitment with a man that I thought I longed for, but a commitment to Christ that my soul yearned for. I stopped chasing a dating dream and started serving a risen reality. God revealed things that I needed to change about me, the types of hunters that exist, the ones that are best for me, how to escape a predator called loneliness, and have a Godly relationship once I’m captured. And I know that God didn’t just lead me on the journey for me; He intended for me to share my journey with others.
