I will meditate on all Your workAnd muse on Your deeds.Your way, O God, is holy;What god is great like our God?You are the God who works wonders;You have made known Your strength among the peoples. – Psalm 77:12-14 (NASB)

Struggling for Purpose

We struggle for years, working to serve the Lord. Yet there are moments when setbacks can cause us to wonder why we expended so much effort. It can seem like it is wasted. Isaiah expressed this sentiment: “But I said, ‘I have toiled in vain, I have spent My strength for nothing and vanity (Isaiah […]

Talking to God

Some of the deepest conversations I have had with a friend have been one to one in private—sitting together over a cup of coffee or a meal. Sometimes I think of those moments when praying—sitting in private with God and discussing life and it’s challenges. It is that one-to-one dialogue that I envision when I […]

Prayer Journey—Infinite Love

You dear God are in all things. Your greatness knows no bounds. Even the vastness of the heavens cannot contain you. You are all knowing, eternal, ever present. Next to you I am but a tiny grain of sand on an expansive beach. Yet you hold that grain of sand in the palm of your […]

You alone are the LORD.You have made the heavens,The heaven of heavens with all their host,The earth and all that is on it,The seas and all that is in them.You give life to all of themAnd the heavenly host bows down before You. – Nehemiah 9:6. (NASB)

The LORD reigns, let the earth be glad;let the distant shores rejoice.Clouds and thick darkness surround him;righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.Fire goes before himand consumes his foes on every side.His lightning lights up the world;the earth sees and trembles.– Psalm 97:1-4 (NIV)

Surrounded by an Army of Trials

Have you ever felt surrounded by trials in life? It seems there is no way out. You feel overwhelmed. It’s as if a powerful army has showed up at your door seeking to conquer your life. It’s an overwhelming feeling and it seems there is no way out. This is how King Hezekiah felt when […]

Prayer Journey

Keep me focused on you dear God. Don’t let the distractions of this world draw my attention away from you. Help me not to fear those who seek to do me harm. May I remember your greatness, your awesome power, your dominion over all things. May I be encouraged by your righteousness, your love and […]
