Take Our Breath Away
This morning, the Lord awakened me to a vision of a dancing fountain. I saw how beautiful we are together in Him, as His Spirit moves us this way and that. Then, as a powerful burst of water spurted high into the sky, onlookers stopped and stared. Lord, take our breath away. Dance to theContinue reading “Take Our Breath Away”
Deciding God’s Way
Today, I feel the Lord urging us to pray for those who are being pressed into tight corners and are having to make huge life decisions. Lord, give us wisdom, please.

Salvation and Restoration – Psalm 80
O Lord, we have wandered so far from You, each one to our own ways, and we have brought destruction down upon ourselves because of our waywardness. We’ve forgotten Who our Creator is and why we were created, and we have worshipped our own ends rather than bowing to Your perfect will and plans. WeContinue reading “Salvation and Restoration – Psalm 80”

Lord, Empower Us to Love
Pray for protection, courage, and empowering from the Lord for those who stand for what is right and good, but who are persecuted relentlessly by those who disagree, who have been blinded by the enemy and push his purposes, rather than God’s. Lord, please make us strong and courageous. Teach us what it means toContinue reading “Lord, Empower Us to Love”
