Shattered Pieces Before God

To the casual observer, all those pieces look like a bunch of shattered glass, broken and useless. But the craftsman has the full picture in mind and knows how to assemble the pieces to create an inspiring image illuminated by the light.

Prayer Journey — The Unexpected

I cannot begin to tell you dear Lord how humbled I am by the way you revealed your purposes last week. You reminded me that your ways are not always apparent, that you have higher purposes in mind. You showed me how you can reach people through me in very unexpected ways. Help me to […]

Mowed Over by God’s Provision

It never occurred to me to lift my situation to God in prayer. “Surely he can’t be bothered with something as small as a mower and the need to keep my lawn trimmed,” I thought.

Where are You God? I’m waiting!

Life does not always go according to plan. Expectations are not met, people disappoint and unexpected things happen. You cry out to God and it seems He is silent. You grow impatient, waiting for God to respond. Now when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people assembled about […]

Prayer Journey — God in All Things

A Guiding Hand in the Storm

There’s an interesting thing I noticed when I was reading Matthew 14:22-32. This is the passage where the disciples set out in a boat to go to the other side ahead of Jesus. While crossing, they are buffeted by wind and waves. Then they see Jesus walking on the water and are scared, thinking it’s […]

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 […]

Driving Out Our Creation

Jesus entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling, saying to them, “It is written, ‘AND MY HOUSE SHALL BE A HOUSE OF PRAYER,’ but you have made it a ROBBERS’ DEN.” – Luke 19:46-47 (NASB) The point where faith intersects our life. At what point does our life of creating […]
