We are gifted and infused with the Holy Spirit The Spirit offers wisdom, direction, guidance, and supernaturally empowers. Listening, receiving, and responding to the Spirit's voice of Love reorients our minds and hearts to live according to the teachings of Christ in good and bad times.

Here are a few suggestions to help provide guidance when facing overwhelming adversities.
