L IV ING IN RHYTHMAs you seek to be closer to God, it becomes more difficult to watch people wander around lost without Christ. At times this can be overwhelming, especially with people who are very close to you, like family members. With the wrong perspective, this can eat you up inside, so it’s important to remember that God is the one who saves, and you are His instrument. Knowing His desire is for everyone to turn to Him, think about specific people in your life who don’t have a relationship with Jesus, and spend time in small groups praying for the people God puts on your mind.
