    When Life Feels Unsettled: Grace, Direction, and God’s Peace

    When life feels unsettled, even familiar decisions can feel heavy. We put pressure on ourselves to get everything right, struggle when plans change, and wonder how to quiet the worry. In this special episode of Joy In Every Step, Elder Sarita Bernadette brings us back to God’s Word through a collection of three previously released teachings on grace, direction, and peace. First, Sarita considers the pressure of perfectionism and the assurance that God’s power meets us in our weakness. Then she explores what it means to follow His leading when it’s time to change direction. Finally, through Elijah’s experience and the promises of Scripture, she invites us to make room for quiet and bring our worries to the Lord. Whether you’re facing a change or simply carrying more than usual, take a few minutes to pause, listen, and be encouraged.

    God's Gift Of Wisdom Part 2

    Knowing the facts is one thing. Knowing how to apply them takes wisdom. In God’s Gift of Wisdom Part 2, Elder Sarita Bernadette continues her teaching on the wisdom God offers to those who seek Him. Beginning with reverence for the Lord, she explores how His truth shapes our choices, our relationships, and the way we respond when life doesn’t go as planned. Through Proverbs 8 and the story of Joseph, Sarita reflects on integrity in unfair circumstances, humility in positions of responsibility, and the grace to forgive. Joseph’s example brings the teaching into everyday life: God’s wisdom guides both our hearts and our actions. Featured Scripture — Proverbs 1:7, NRSVue“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” In this episode: The difference between knowledge and godly wisdomReverence for God as the foundation for learningJoseph’s example of integrity, preparation, and forgivenessAsking God for wisdom—and listening for His guidanceA thought to carry with you: Ask God for wisdom about everything.
