Prayer Journey — His Hand

Your touch dear Lord; your hand; your presence. You are evident in each day, gently nudging; prompting; pointing me in the right direction. I praise you this day for your Word; your love; your grace; your caring hand upon my life. I give you praise this day dear God. Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty […]

Overtaken by Trauma

The wave of trauma rises up before me, towering higher and higher. I cannot stop it from crashing over me, engulfing me in a torrent of many waters. The current of grief whisks me away. I am helpless. I cannot stop its force. The suffering twists my body, embroiling me in a sea of grief. […]

No Thanks

Imagine working all day to fix a fine dinner for some special people in your life. The table is all set, all their favorite food is ready. You wait for their arrival, but they don’t show up. Later you learn they went and had hot dogs at someone else’s place instead of enjoying the nutritious […]

God Overcomes

“Many waters” is a phrase that intrigues me. It is used 20 times in the NASB Bible, mostly in the Old Testament and only in Revelation in the New Testament. It is a descriptive phrase that uses the sound and sight of a vast amount of water to help us understand the immensity, the power […]

Seeking God’s Advice

He is overwhelmed by the task before him. Solomon has just become king and has consolidated the kingdom under his rule. When God appears to him in a dream, we learn about Solomon’s heart. God tests him by asking, “Ask what you wish Me to give you (1 Kings 3:5).” When we are overwhelmed by […]

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 […]

Mighty Devotion

I am always impressed with the devotion of David’s mighty men. They stuck with him through the highs and lows of his life, often at great risk to themselves. They were willing to give their lives to defend and protect David. One act in particular demonstrates their devotion to David’s well being. 2 Samuel 23:13-17 […]

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 […]
