Prayer Journey —Trust

I wait for things to change, but it continues with more of the same. When will it end? I lift up my prayers. I plead with God, but he tells me, “Do you trust me?” It gives me pause. Do I trust God to act in His time? Do I trust that he is in […]

Prayer Journey–Who knows?

Why do I listen to what others say about me and not what you say about me dear God? You intimately know me and who I am. You know my every move, my thoughts, and my faults. You created me, made me who I am, brought me to this point in my life. While others […]

Prayer Journey — The Waiting Room

I sit in the chair waiting. There is nothing I can do but wait on you dear God. It seems all I have left is to trust you God and your timing. I am sorry it took this long to lean on you and not my own understanding. Help me to abide in you, to […]

Fighting Back with Prayer

As a follower of Jesus, we need to be aware that we are not just an enemy of Satan. Ephesians 6:10 reminds us that we are a target of the “schemes of the devil (NASB).” We are not just in a one-on-one sword fight with evil, but as believers in Jesus we are the target […]

Prayer Journey — Joy of the Lord

May your Spirit dear God fill me with your joy. Let me not be focused on the temporal joys of this earth, but on your eternal joy. Help me to discern what is life-giving and what is destructive. Help me to see through the facade of the evil one’s deceit that seeks to draw me […]

Prayer Journey — Stillness

When all is turned off, all the excess noise of life, there you are quietly waiting for me to listen…

On Second Thought…

There are some things I pray for that seem hopeless; that appear to be headed for a horrible end. I pray fervently for a different outcome, but it seems nothing will change. It appears that God has his mind set on how things will turn out. As I pray, I wonder if God can change […]

Prayer Journey — Your Ways

Your ways dear God are truth, the path to life. Everyday there are distractions and detractors who attempt to divert me from your path. Fill me with your wisdom. Help me to be attentive to your call, your direction. May I clearly hear your voice when the clamor of nosies in this world seek to […]

Prayer Journey — Unknown Future

Dear God, I am concerned about a future I cannot see. Help me to lay those concerns at your feet, to trust that all is in your hands. May I see you purposes in this moment and know that you have a plan; that there is a reason for all things. You have the long […]

Seeing Through Deceit

Have you ever been in a situation where someone approaches you with a request, but there is something about it that seems suspicious? The person looks credible, their story believable; even their request appears reasonable. They act humble and respectful, God-fearing; yet you have that gnawing feeling that something doesn’t seem right. How do you […]
