Be strong and take heart for the Lord is my light and my salvation.

We prepare to pray, yet our minds wander and every distraction is magnified. That’s when we simply bow our hearts and say, “Lord, teach us to pray!”

When our bodies fail to provide our heart’s desires there is no one else to turn to for help but God.

Days have a way of blending into each other. The repetition of life dulls our senses until our world can become gray. But like refreshing rain, God gives us splashes of joy to color our world and to help us see with new eyes.

The weight of the darkness can be suffocating. Until the Light of the World reveals Himself, and you believe.

Life comes with question marks. But we need not fear; God is faithful.

Our days are filled with endless commitments, choices, fun things, not-so-fun things. Things we have to do. Things we get to do. Wrap your day in prayer because keeping your eyes on God will help keep everything else in focus.

We are messed-up people. Even when we try to do good, our evil hearts are still corrupt. But Jesus knows.

No matter the circumstances, you can lean into Jesus—the best gift we could ever receive—and He will calm your spirit.

It’s time to get rid of all the gunk—the dirt, the grime, the residue of old ways. That is not you anymore. You’ve been cleaned. You’ve been changed. You’ve tasted what is good and real and true. So live free.
