Why is it so easy to see what needs work in others? It’s not up to us to change that other person, and it’s a weight we don’t need to bear. Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all…
Adoration is a beautiful spiritual practice to train our souls to always adore God when we don’t understand and life is out of our control. “O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens!”Psalm 8:1 ESV I sat in a group of women…
In an ever-increasing confusing and chaotic world, how are we to fix our eyes daily on Jesus? How can we meditate on whatever things are true? The other day I was scrolling through Twitter and quickly found myself asking why. It is not a place I walk away from with more peace, understanding, or better…
Peace is hard to find in the chaotic world we are living in. But we will not find it in this world. True peace is found as we put our trust in Jesus. I look at the world and it seems more unruly and chaotic than any other time in my life. We are still…
Sometimes we don’t even realize how powerful God’s grace is in our lives until we find ourselves broken. “I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.” Revelation 3:8 ESV Laying in bed, I felt like a failure as a mother. I’d prided…
Sometimes we have seasons when we pull away or aren’t very intentional about drawing close—but we can still find our way back to God. “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.” James 4:8 ESV The warm water poured down over my head, as my brain relaxed and soaked in the reset…
When we face suffering, we may be tempted to wonder if God truly loves us. But maybe His love isn’t synonymous with our pain? “Lord, he whom you love is ill.” John 11:3 (ESV) It had been almost three years since my husband was first diagnosed with a type of blood cancer. Out of necessity, his…
When waiting feels intense and hard and scary, we have an opportunity to learn to wait in a new way. 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 faint. (Isaiah 40:31 ESV)…
It can be overwhelming to organize our homes and our lives but trusting God with letting go of stuff can bring a whole new freedom! “Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?”…
Busy can often creep up on us unexpectedly and there’s not much we can do to avoid it. But we can shift our perspective and look for the beauty. “Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.”Colossians…
Choose wisely what ‘self’ you want to wear and what parts you want to take off. “… put off your old self…and be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.”Ephesians 4:22a-24a (ESV) I’m a New Englander through and…
As moms who shoulder a lot of the decisions in our homes, thank God that we have a heavenly watchman and nothing escapes His gaze. “But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life, that person’s life will…
“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.” Ephesians 3:20-21 ESV I don’t know about you, but I spent a lot of…
Do you ever feel stuck and you don’t know what to say when someone is hurting? Pray, pause, and watch how God speaks through you! “Do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit”…
When we struggle to have hope and soak in His truth, we need to learn to change our thinking—change the tape running in our mind. “We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,” 2 Corinthians 10:5 ESV It was another day in…
