Touch This Nation, Change Our Hearts
Decades ago, when God called our family to move to a dark area of the world where Christians are persecuted and share the good news with the lost, dedicated prayer warriors joined us on that journey. Many were elderly. They couldn’t work, but they had been through the fire and they could pray! They prayedContinue reading “Touch This Nation, Change Our Hearts”
Awakening to Jesus
Today, I felt the Lord encouraging us from John 1:1-5, 10:10, 16:33; Philippians 4:13; and Psalm 118:24, to hand our day — not only today but every day — to Jesus to make it His.

A word of encouragement today from Matthew 22:37-40, John 14-15, 1 John 4, James 4:11-12, Matthew 7:1-5, and Romans 8 and 12: Do not listen to what the world is saying today.

Awakening to Jesus
What was your first thought when you woke up this morning? Any of these ring a bell? If we can get in the habit of making Jesus our first thought, before we open our eyes, before we get out of bed, before we think or do anything else — if we can hand Him ourContinue reading “Awakening to Jesus”
Blessings in the Midst of Trials
Today’s prayer is from Romans 8:28: Lord, this past year has been hard for many of us, but right now, we just want to pause and thank You for the good things You have brought out of our trials.

Power in Surrender
What has God asked you to do this year that feels beyond your capability? Have you said “Yes” yet? Don’t decide whether or not to obey the Lord based on your perceived abilities or inadequacies.
