3946 Find Peace in the Midst of Troubles
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Troubles come to all of us—and how we handle them defines our peace and effectiveness. Sarah Young’s insight from Jesus Calling drives this home: "Rehearsing your troubles results in experiencing them many times, whereas you are meant to go through them only when they actually occur." You can find peace in the midst of troubles. This truth challenges a common tendency—to ruminate on problems long before (or after) they happen, replaying them in our minds like a broken record. Instead, God calls us to a different way of handling struggle, a way rooted in trust, courage, and rest....

3945 The Heartbeat of a Powerhouse Marriage
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Marriage isn’t about becoming one person. It’s about two whole individuals choosing to grow together in a way that creates something far stronger than the sum of its parts. But the reality? That kind of connection doesn’t come easy. It takes diligent, ongoing effort for each spouse to develop themselves as confident individuals, and then to intentionally build a relationship that thrives on shared purpose and deep connection. That's the heartbeat of a powerhouse marriage. Consider Dan and Joanne Miller. Dan Miller, the New York Times Best-Selling author who passed two years ago, left a...

3944 Love Them More Than It Hurts
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Why do our children challenge us so much that it strangles our hearts? Raising kids is tough on parents; who cares about how the kids feel? Yet we deeply care about them. However, it's during those difficult times that we learn to love them more than it hurts. Raising kids is brutal sometimes. On the surface, it might seem like parents should just lay down the rules, set boundaries, and move on. But if it were that simple, parenting wouldn’t tear us up so deeply.

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Nothing fuels ambition quite like setting out on a bold adventure toward your goals and dreams. You’ve got big plans, and the vision of where you want to go is crystal clear. But here’s the truth: dreaming alone won’t get you there. To climb that peak, you need a launching pad — and that starts when you organize your space to make room for action. Think about it.

3940 Toss Out the Thoughts and Doubts that Hold You Back
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Just because it’s a new year doesn’t mean a reset happens automatically. In reality, most of our attempts to start fresh are clouded by lingering fears about what we didn’t finish, didn’t accomplish, or simply gave up on. If you want to move ahead and actually reach your goals and dreams this year, you have to toss out the thoughts and doubts that hold you back. I don’t know about you, but over time, repeated failures do more than just sting — they infect our mindset and sabotage our ambition. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

3939 Man Shall Not Live on Bread Alone
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
In one of the most powerful moments of Jesus’ life, when He was tested in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-4), He faced raw human hunger. The devil tempted Him with a straightforward challenge: “Turn these stones into bread.” After all, Jesus is hungry after fasting for forty days and forty nights. The need was real, the desire immediate. Yet Jesus' response cuts deeper than physical need: “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” That reply is not just about hunger or sustenance. It’s a declaration about the source of...

3937 Put the "Parent" Back in Parenting
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Too many parents today are caught chasing the mirage of “being friends” with their kids — seeking approval and camaraderie instead of stepping fully into their role as parents. Let’s be blunt: parenting isn’t about winning a popularity contest. It’s about showing up as the adults who love fiercely, set firm boundaries, and deliver discipline that actually sticks. If you want your children to thrive and leave a lasting impact on the world, you must put the “parent” back in parenting. Why Parents Must Parent, Not “Friend” Friendship with your kids can seem like an easy,...

Joshua 1:5-9 is a powerful passage that reveals God’s blueprint for facing challenges.
In it, God tells Joshua, “I will never leave you nor forsake you,” and commands him to “be strong and courageous.”
This isn’t just a pep talk; it’s a deep assurance that God’s presence is not conditional on circumstances.
The key to peace amid trouble is remembering that God is with you—not sometimes, but always.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Find peace in the midst of troubles!
So how do we find peace in the midst of troubles?
First, God commands us to “keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night.” Peace isn’t found in obsessing over the problem, but in grounding ourselves in God’s promises and wisdom. Instead of cycling through worries, anchored minds dwell on truth. The Bible becomes a refuge, a source of guidance, and a reminder that you are not alone.
Second, God’s call to “be strong and courageous” is a command to take action, but the kind of action that flows from faith, not fear. Courage is not the absence of trouble but the refusal to be paralyzed by it. When you lean into God’s strength rather than your own, you find a calm bravery—that steadiness that doesn’t scream or panic because you know God has already gone before you.
Third, God insists we not “let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth.” This means ongoing commitment. Peace is not a one-and-done moment. It’s a daily choice to fight off the habit of rehearsing worries and fears—a choice to bring every troubling thought back to God’s Word and Presence.
Finally, we must wrestle with the fact that our troubles don’t have the final say. God’s promise to Joshua was a guarantee of His presence, and that same promise stands for you today. When doubts attack and worries flare, you have a spiritual anchor to hold fast.
The peace God offers is not the absence of trouble but the presence of Himself in the trouble.
"If you find yourself stuck replaying troubles, caught in endless “what ifs,” put down the script and pick up God’s promises." ~ Kristianne Wargo
Breathe in courage; choose to dwell not on the storms but on the One who commands them. Let Joshua 1:5-9 be your reminder: you don’t face struggles alone. And when you stop rehearsing trouble, you begin to experience the peace that surpasses all understanding.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
