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

Seconds can drag on and years can fly by. We know we are on this earth for just a moment. And we don’t know when that moment will end. So, God, help us to turn to you, to seek your wisdom. As Psalm 39:7 says, “My hope is in you.”

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

Seared in the fire. Crafted into perfection. Ready to be used. Just as the craftsman refines a tool for a select purpose, we were created in Christ Jesus to do good things. God has already given you ambitions and directions. Go fulfill them. Read more: http://odb.org/2015/06/03/something-new/

Kids love to imitate. That’s how they learn. And just as we pass down our wisdom, skills, or hobbies to our children, God asks us to follow His example. There’s no better way to learn how to love life and live life than from the One who created us.

You have been changed, given new life. You’ve tasted what is good and real and true. So live free.

Jesus died for you; and when you believe this truth, God welcomes you with open arms into His family. You are accepted by God, and you are His child.

God, you know me. You planned every intricate detail of my body, my soul, and my personality. And I love you for that.

We all have our own agenda. We want certain things, and God even invites us to pray very specifically, right? 

When you talk to God, it changes you.
