There is a quiet struggle that many people of faith never say out loud. We want to feel God. We want to hear Him clearly. We want confirmation that He is near. But most days feel ordinary.

Worldly abundance is often defined as a "very large quantity" of things like time, money, or patience.

In juxtaposition, a spiritual abundance is all about God’s grace being sufficient in the middle of the mess.
