Sunday Praise

I will bless the LORD at all times;His praise shall continually be in my mouth.My soul will make its boast in the LORD;The humble will hear it and rejoice.O magnify the LORD with me,And let us exalt His name together. – Psalm 34:1-3

Struggling with Healing

Healing is a hard thing for me to reconcile. Over the years I have prayed for healing for a lot of people. Some saw healing, others did not. I may have questioned God over it, but I never questioned my faith in God or His son Jesus. It is the act of reaching out to […]

Sunday Praise

Sing for joy in the LORD, O you righteous ones;Praise is becoming to the upright.Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre;Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings.Sing to Him a new song;Play skillfully with a shout of joy.For the word of the LORD is upright,And all His work is done in […]

Missing What’s in Front of You

They began to discuss with one another the fact that they had no bread. – Mark 8:16, NASB When it comes to providing for our needs, how quickly we can forget God’s provision. In Mark 8:1-21, Jesus again feeds thousands with a few loaves of bread and fish with baskets of leftovers. From there, they […]

Prayer Journal

I search, dear God, for answers. You have given me insight and continue to nudge me closer to you. Yet I remain confused, perplexed on where to go next. I need your wisdom dear Lord. Guide me on your path. Show me the next steps to take. May my heart long for you with a […]

Cut!

On the movie set of our life, sometimes God calls, “Cut!” He slaps the clapboard to stop the action. This is what happened to me last week. No, I was not on a movie set filming a movie, but actually doing something quite mundane when I was injured. At first I didn’t think much about […]

Overcoming the World

When we profess our faith in Jesus, we choose to follow God. That also puts a target on our back. We become an enemy to satan. He will seek to tempt us to wander away from God and follow worldly ways. 1 Peter 5:6-10 reminds us to humble ourselves before God and cling to Him. […]

The World Seeks to Sift You

Have you ever looked back on a missed opportunity to share your faith in Jesus with regret? There they were asking pointed questions about Jesus and you backed down out of fear. It’s a feeling that helps us in some way relate to Peter’s denial in Mark 14:66-72 where he feels deep remorse and weeps. […]

Insult to Injury

At noon, darkness fell across the whole land until three o’clock. Then at three o’clock Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”- Mark 15:33-34, NLT When you feel forsaken, mocked by others, know that Jesus has felt the same feeling. […]

Prayer Journal—Abide

I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. – John 15:5, NASB Abide in Him. Bear much fruit. Abide in Jesus. Let his love wash over me. Help me to be vulnerable to you […]
