Summary
Overwhelm doesn’t have to define your story. What if God’s peace and provision were your safeguards instead? In this episode, Graham Cooke shares how to approach life’s challenges as God’s much-loved child. Discover how His presence brings clarity, comfort, and provision for every difficulty you face.
Key Scriptures:
+ 2 Corinthians 13:4. For indeed He was crucified because of weakness, yet He lives because of the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, yet we will live with Him because of the power of God directed toward you.
+ Romans 8:35-39. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? […] For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

| 0:00.0 | Hey friends, welcome back to the Brilliant Perspectives podcast. |
| 0:05.2 | I'm your host, Jalen Bowden, and today, Graham Cook is sharing one of the most comforting truths that you don't have to face life alone. |
| 0:15.7 | When everything feels overwhelming, what if the first step wasn't to fight harder, but to simply take |
| 0:23.1 | God's hand and rest in his love? We'll talk about what it means to see yourself as his much-loved |
| 0:30.5 | child, safe, secure, and never lacking his creative wisdom, allowing peace and clarity to rise up within, |
| 0:40.3 | even when life just feels like too much. |
| 0:43.3 | So wherever you're listening from today, settle in, take a deep breath, |
| 0:49.3 | and let's lean in to his presence together. |
| 0:53.3 | You know, whenever we feel on the verge of being overwhelmed by our circumstances, |
| 1:00.2 | our first stance is to come as his much-loved child, not the warrior or the game-changer, |
| 1:08.0 | but the joyfully dependent, much-loves son or daughter of your good father. |
| 1:13.6 | And from that place, we can take a deep breath and relax into the bigness of God. |
| 1:21.6 | When life becomes pressing, the picture I always see in my spirit is Winnie the Pooh holding Christopher |
| 1:30.1 | Robin's hand, walking together, talking together, and Pooh is feeling safe because he's with his |
| 1:39.3 | friend. When life wants to rush in all at once, I step back into my spirit and imagine myself as God's |
| 1:48.3 | much-loved child, hand in hand with him, just a happy little bear, even if I don't have very |
| 1:56.3 | much brain on that day. |
| 1:59.0 | Much-loved children, you know, they're always operated from a secure place |
| 2:03.3 | of affectionate love that gives them the confidence to believe that they can be someone or that |
| 2:09.8 | they can do something. God is a good dad. He's bigger and stronger and he's infinitely creative in how he walks with us through |
| 2:21.1 | life's challenges. 2 Corinthians 134 says, for though Jesus was crucified in weakness, yet he |
| 2:29.8 | lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, but we shall live with him by the power of God |
