Will You Answer My Prayer?

We need to rely on God, to deepen our faith and trust in him. We need to release our barren thoughts that can’t conceive of what is possible with God.

The All Powerful Self

Self is a powerful thing. It can puff us up and make us feel self righteous. It can inflate our ego to the point of self worship. It can beat others down to raise us up. Self can drive us to do things that solely benefit us. Self is a ravenous beast that is never […]

Out of My Way

It can be hard to understand God’s purposes. Our limited vision only enables us to see what is present in our lives, not God’s ultimate plan. It can cause us to question what God calls us or others to do. In Mathew 16:21-23, “Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, […]

Everyday—Mirror Reflection

“Everyday” is a series of Thursday posts this month looking at God’s presence in everyday life. The thought was persistent. Write “God Loves You” on the steamed up mirror in the hotel bathroom.
