Prayer Journey — The Right Path is All That’s Left

The sorrow runs deep, but so does my faith. People push me. The wind buffets me. Grief seeks to dislodge me, disorient me, but with God I am secure. Steady me dear God on the narrow road. When I teeter on the edge, help me regain my balance. Help me to keep my eyes on […]

Morning Praise – A Solid Stillness

He wants to put a new song in my heart, but I do not know the words yet. He wants to make me anew, but I do not know who I am or who I should be. I am being transformed into something I have yet to see. All I can do for now is […]

Crossing Paths in the Pursuit of Christ

I have always been intrigued by the encounter between Phillip and the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8:26-39. Here we have two people seeking Christ.

A River of Hope in Our Communities

What struck me about this passage was the description in Ezekiel 47:1-12 where Ezekiel is shown water “coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar (verse 1).” The water starts as a trickle from the altar and […]

Prayer Journey — Stay in Your Lane

Are you running the race God laid out for you or are you too busy wishing you were running someone else’s race; too envious of what others have that you don’t have?
