Until it Hurts: Six Weeks of Submission to God

You fix one thing, then something else breaks. You work hard to get ahead, but at the end of the day, you are barely getting by. You hate where you are, and something deep down inside tells you that there is so much more to life. So you do what you know to do pray. In prayer, you feel God asking you for more, but you have absolutely no idea of what that more looks like. You don’t know where to start. You don’t know how to start. You feel so defeated that you end up doing absolutely nothing. Guess what? You are not alone. All around the world, Christians of every shape, color, and size deal with the same battles. We all wonder the same thing, “God, how long must I go through this?” His answer remains the same, “Until it hurts.” God wants all of us, not part of us, or even some of us. He wants us to submit every part of our lives to him. When we fail to submit each area of our lives, we constantly find ourselves feeling incomplete, unworthy, and alone. In this six-week guide, Until it Hurts, Author Melinda Bowens dives into busyness, idolatry, unfaithfulness, unguarded hearts, arrogance, and untamed tongues. These six weeks are designed to guide you into complete submission to God…until it hurts. Author Melinda Bowens is a native of Union Springs, AL. She currently resides in Hattiesburg, MS. She is a proud graduate of both Auburn University, and The University of Southern Mississippi.
