Prayer Journey — Life Giver

The sun sets, marking the end of another day; adding another day to my life. As darkness sets in, I reflect on you dear Lord Jesus — how you bring light to dark places; hope to hopeless situations. You are the giver of life. Every breath I take is a gift from you. Each day […]

Too Proud to Remember

There have been times in my life where I have gone through severe trials. In those times I have cried out to God for relief. I have asked him to take away the pain, to release me from the ongoing struggles. It seems during those times I have drawn closer to God and my faith […]

Prayer Journey — Reflection

I look back over my life and I see your hand, your eternal grace, your love. I do not understand why you brought me to this point in my life. I have been through so much and yet today I feel so blessed by so many people you have put in my life. Your care […]

Prayer Journey — Mere Words

This morning’s prayer searches for words that are adequate to describe the vastness of God and the love and grace he lavishes upon us.

Trusting God Enough to Bring Him Honor

From the moment Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt he endured endless grumbling, often pointed at him. We see the same old complaints: “Why did you bring the Lord’s community into this wilderness? Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to this terrible place?” Why? Why? Why? It is enough to make anyone angry.
