Love as He First Loved
Pray we will love as He first loved us. 1 John 4:19. A word from the Lord to encourage us as we pray… It’s not for nothing. All that you do for Me. I see it. But more than that, they see it. Don’t gauge your worth by their response. They are filled with theContinue reading “Love as He First Loved”
Are You Listening?
Has something happened to make you anxious or worried? Is your heart feeling troubled? Nothing happens unless God allows it. And if He has allowed it, then He’s doing something in the midst of it.

Our decision-making processes are one of the main ways the enemy slips in to do his dirty work. Do any of those methods feel familiar toContinue reading “Listen UP!”
Fighting for Love
What battles have you been fighting in your marriage or other relationships? It’s easy sometimes to forget what this fight is for and who our real enemy is.

Open Our Ears, Lord
A prayer from John 10:27: Lord, open up our ears to hear You. How have we closed off our minds and hearts from listening? Have we decided You no longer speak? As if Your Word is a lie? As if You somehow stopped being the God of the Bible? As if our insecurities and ideasContinue reading “Open Our Ears, Lord”
No More Wavering
Do you feel sometimes like your spiritual life is a bit of a roller coaster ride? You swoop up onto a high, feeling so close to God; but then slip and hit rock-bottom all over again?
