Hand Outstretched

What have you been going through this year? Are you feeling weary? Alone in the fire? I felt the Lord leading me to share this word from His heart to ours today: I know it’s been hard, and at times you feel like you just can’t go on. Like something’s got to give, or youContinue reading “Hand Outstretched”

In Step with the Spirit

Prayer is not a one-way “talk,” where we ask God to do for us the things we want and then get upset at Him when He doesn’t answer the way we expect. Prayer is a two-way conversation. In fact, the longer you walk with God, the better you know His Word, and the closer youContinue reading “In Step with the Spirit”

Choosing What Is Eternal

When this messy world is so up in your face, it’s hard to focus on eternal things, isn’t it?  For instance, a headache can take precedence over being loving and kind.  But a headache is temporal. It’s very real pain I have to go through right now, but it’s not going to follow me toContinue reading “Choosing What Is Eternal”

Faith and Moral Values

Let’s pray today for God to restore what has been lost, to rebuild our families and culture with truth, faith and love.

For the Anxious Heart

Lord, be our Shield. Block fear from invading our minds, hearts, and homes. When anxiety, worry, and panic overcome us, we have trouble trusting in Your Sovereignty and Your heart of Love. We try to take control, but everything’s so out of control, especially our racing hearts and spiraling thoughts. Rescue us, O Lord, fromContinue reading “For the Anxious Heart”

Father God, please lay Your hand on our sons, guiding them constantly into Your purposes. Pursue them with Your love. Bring to them disciplers, mentors, teachers and friends who will challenge them to walk as one with You and model what that looks like.

Prayer for Daughters and Parents
