Congratulations. Your gift of a new day is here. Ready to live it big. You're listening to the Big Life

Devotional podcast. Now, here's Pamela to get you fired up for all God has available for you today.

Well, good morning, beautiful. Welcome to a brand new day of life. Happy Wednesday, my friends.

Gosh, I missed you all yesterday.

I was traveling.

I'm back in the Florida Keys.

It is a perpetual summertime here.

So glad to be back.

I am grateful that I get to spend a little bit of time here with you today.

The title of today's episode of the

Big Life Devotional podcast is Unbothered by This. How bothered are you right now? Like how upset or

torn up, worried, overwhelmed, do life's circumstances have you today?

And why is it that we feel almost obligated to appear miserable when we're going through

these hard things? Like it's wrong to be okay when things aren't okay. We can't be happy

when the reality isn't all sunshine and rainbows. So we put on our hardships like the fit of the

day and we wear it around. But let me tell you something. The spirit of God living within you equips you to be

unbothered. You don't have to wake up feel in all sorts of ways. Your thoughts do not have to be

plagued with replays of that hurt and offense. And you do not have to be plagued with replays of that hurt and offense.

And you do not have to be continually burdened by the things that have hurt you.

Everything doesn't have to bother you.

You can be in the middle of the storm and be filled with peace, settled in complete assurance, and held steady by the

hand that never changes. That is unbothered. Isaiah 41, verse 10, says, don't be afraid, for I am with you don't be discouraged for I am your God
