Prayer Journey – Forward in Faith

Let me not be fearful of the unknown, but help me to step forward in faith. May I put my trust in you dear Lord, not just today, but in the days to come.

Between Fear and Faith

God has laid out a plan for your life, a journey that will lead you to “a land flowing with milk and honey (Num. 14:8).” With each new step, he asks us to follow him in faith. The challenge is to not do what the Israelites did and take your eyes off God, to not let fear take hold of you.

A Battle of Wills

Joseph modeled for us what obedience to God looks like in practice.

Prayer Journey — Discernment

Help me dear Lord to discern your truth in a world that bombards me with false hope. Give me the wisdom to see with your eyes, to choose your way. Let me not lose my first love, your love dear Jesus filling my life; the joy of your presence in my life. Show me Lord […]
