Prayer Journey — Who Am I?

I am not self made, I am God made. All that I am, the whole of who I am right now, is because of God’s hand. Every event that has occurred in my life is because you allowed it to happen. It has all shaped me — molded me into who I am right now […]

Prayer Journey — Silent Roar

In the noise of the day Among the clamor of humanity As the people rush to and fro I hear you dear God You are always there I hear your gentle voice call It whispers among the noise I stop my furious pace and listen “Be still” I hear God say The words sink into […]

Prayer Journey — Weeping

Jesus wept. He felt grief, loss. He felt sorrow as others grieved. This morning I think of a young couple suffering the pain of losing a baby. I pray for them and so many others who at this moment are grieving the loss of a loved one. The pain is deep, sometimes unconsolable. I pray […]

Prayer Journey — Inconsolable Grief

This morning I am deeply saddened as I think of a family who lost a child in a tragic accident last week. Inconsolable grief is all I can think. I do not understand dear God the purpose behind such pain. I am weary with my sighing; Every night I make my bed swim, I dissolve […]

Prayer Journey — Praise for Medical Professionals

Today I am grateful for doctors, nurses and so many others who bring healing to people.

Prayer Journey — Waiting on God

Your timing is perfect dear Lord. Yet I am impatient. I want hearts transformed. I want people to know you. I want their anger replaced by your joy. Yet you tell me to wait; to trust; to have faith in your ways. You are my rock, my fortress. You are my confidant. Your wisdom surpasses […]
