Everyday—Mirror Reflection

“Everyday” is a series of Thursday posts this month looking at God’s presence in everyday life. The thought was persistent. Write “God Loves You” on the steamed up mirror in the hotel bathroom.

You know my heart dear God. You know the deepest parts of my inner being, the struggles I face each day. I pray you will fill me with your wisdom. Deepen my faith, especially when the darkness seems overwhelming. Give me a richness of belief in what is possible with you. Show me how to […]

Everyday—Reflective Reminder

“Everyday” is a series of Thursday posts this month looking at God’s presence in everyday life. Almost a year ago, a loved one suffered a head injury.
