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 — Life

You gave it all dear Lord. You came to this earth to save us. You became flesh so that we would know you; know God’s grace; know life in the Spirit of God. You gave it all so that I could know life, true life in you; so that I would know light and not […]

#WednesdayWalk —Long Distance Healing

I stood in the other room with my fellow servant so our friend could not hear us. “How long has he been paralyzed like this?” I asked…

A feeling of dread overwhelms me. Then I see a small break in the clouds. Suddenly a sliver of light pierces the encroaching darkness. Hope […]

Prayer Journey — Joy

You dear Lord are the source of joy, pure joy. Nothing on this earth can match the joy you bring to my soul. Though trials may persist, they do not extinguish the joy you bring. Though my heart may be saddened, you lift me up. Though I struggle, you give me hope. May your wisdom […]
