Bible Reading Plan 

We all experience different seasons in our lives. God allows time for each season, and each of those times enables us to draw near to God. Whether it’s a time of weeping, rejoicing, mourning, or whatever, we always have an open door with our Father. We can run to Him, and He will give us the tools we need to handle every situation and come out victorious. God wants the best for us. So, talk to God about whatever you’re going through, what is hurting you, your feelings, and your fears. Don’t let the day's stressors of the day stop you from spending more effective time with God’s word or connecting with Him on a deeper level. Get the tools and learn how to commune and hear from God, get your calling done and live more purposefully in your spiritual walk with God. 

Join today’s Therapy Thursday conversation with me, Lisa, and my friend Dr. Lidia Martinez as we talk about goal setting, creating an effective bible reading plan, and thriving in different seasons. We also talk about defense mechanisms, how they lead us to self-denial, and the best coping skills that can help you overcome and live a purposeful life,
