Lord, sometimes it feels as if the enemy is assaulting us from all sides and the fury of all that comes against us is greater than we can withstand. But no foe is bigger than You, O God, no army mightier than Your power, no assault greater than the protection of Your love. We chooseContinue reading “Stand on Love and You Will Stand”

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.
