No doubt 2020 has been a crisis for many. How can we push aside fear? “casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you” 1 Peter 5:7 (ESV) Fear is sneaky. It starts with a neutral thought — unobtrusive. A thought that I surely should consider, right? On a Monday morning, after I’d…
“I would have lost heart unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord.” ~ Psalm 27:13 (NKJV) Have you ever been mad at God? I had just watched several videos where people shared their stories…their pain as they struggled through issues, the rejection they felt from family and friends, and…
Even when life feels heavy and dim, we can rejoice in hope. God holds our future and that is great reason to trust and hope in Him! Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. (Romans 12:12) My twenty-something-old daughter invited me to Washington, DC, for breakfast last week. Which meant flying…
How can you hope to get through when it feels so heavy? “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” ~ Galatians 6:9 (ESV) What has you feeling overwhelmed and weary today? It’s a temptation we all feel at different times in our…
If you are a mom worn down from worry and doubt of whether you have what it takes to parent your kids, rest in God’s grace and with this… What does God’s grace look like for a weary, worried mom? But he said to me,“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect…
Living a life of prayer may not look the way you think but God is inviting you into such a life. God longs for you to go deeper with Him. “The Lord has heard my plea; the Lord accepts my prayer.”(Psalm 6:9, ESV). When I was a baby Christian in my early 20s, I decided…
Are you looking to encounter God in new, more powerful ways? Listen closely. “For God speaks in one way, and in two, though man does not perceive it.” ~ Job 33:14 (ESV) Walking through Uncertainty “Is that You God?” I asked, perplexed by the voice I heard, clearly instructing me to pick up a dead squirrel from…
Waiting is tough and rarely comfortable. But it is in the lingering where we find God’s strength in us. It is in the waiting God moves. “but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength;they shall mount up with wings like eagles;they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not…
Prayer isn’t just about the right tools or timing or discipline. If we don’t come to God with conviction and belief, none of it matters. Prayer is a powerful weapon we need to utilize along with our belief. “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a…
“Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.” ~ Psalm 116:2 (ESV) “Don’t talk to your kids about God.” I exchanged a look with the woman sitting next to me at the young mother’s Bible study. Where was the teacher going with this? “Don’t talk to…
Do you ever choose tasks or activity over talking to God? What our hearts need most isn’t to “get through this” but bring our longings and our fears to Him. “Oh Lord, all my longing is before you; my sighing is not hidden from you.” Psalm 38:9 (ESV) The days just after the world shut…
