Lord, open up our eyes to see as You see, to not be distracted by other things in our view that move us away from You. Please, God, get up in our face. Invade our space. Make sure we SEE what You’re doing, such that we can’t miss it. Grab our face in Your handsContinue reading “New Year Prayer”

New Year Awakening
A prayer for this coming year from Romans 12:3: Lord, awaken my heart with fervor to worship You. Teach me to offer up my body as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to You.

As we pray for believers in danger throughout the world this Christmas, I have been thinking on Mary and Joseph’s escape to Egypt in Matthew 2:13-15, when Herod set out to murder Jesus.

Warmth for the Lonely
Winters are cold in the dark area of the world where the Lord called our family to share the gospel for almost 30 years. Lots of snow and ice. Not many people outside. It can feel quite lonely, especially when you’re the only Christian around and an oppressive government forbids Christmas. No, I’m not talking about the Grinch,Continue reading “Warmth for the Lonely”
