I believe that through the cross, that we are as close to God as we want to be.

And I think one of the best things we can do is just be honest with where our desire level is. God, I'm not wanting you like I want to want you. Would you help me want you? Because even the desire to want, like even wanting is a grace. Yeah. Pick a time, pick a place, and have a plan. How do I attune my heart to heaven? heaven do I attune my heart to Father, Son, Holy Spirit? And whatever storm you're going through, you know, somebody's listened to this, going through a storm, you need to know that Jesus is praying for you. In that storm, he speaks to you, and he still says the same thing. Take courage. He literally puts courage in your heart. He tells us who he is, reminds us who he is.

And then he says, don't be afraid.
