Generate Joy | Personal Development for Christian Women

Amy Davis

Are you tired of feeling stuck, aimless and overwhelmed?

Do you believe you were called to experience more joy and love in your life, but have no idea how to get started?

Are you ready to stop worrying about your past mistakes, pleasing others or how hard life is and start trusting God with your future?

Guess what? Those are just thoughts! They are small evidences that support our most self-sabotaging thoughts and core beliefs. This tangled mess of thinking really kept me stuck for years until I learned how to generate joy - God's way!

42 | Secrets To A Great Conversation With God

Send Amy a Text Message.Does your prayer life seem flat lately? Maybe you feel like God is just too far away to hear you... Well, guess what? Jeremiah 33:3 says, "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know..." God wants to show you HIS plans for your life, HIS intentions for what he has in store for your future, your circumstances, and even your emotional instability, at times. However, lots of times we approach prayer with an "ask" but not stick around for the answer... we make prayer about the "thing" and not about relationship with Jesus. This episode is about more than just presenting our requests to God... It's about developing connection and how to have a great conversation with God. Enjoy!
