No More Baggage

Take control of your life today! Refuse to allow bad decisions to dictate your actions any longer.

Keep on Fighting

I want to encourage the hearts of those that are burdened and overwhelmed today. I know things may have been tough lately, but keep on fighting.

What Are You Feeding

What is it within you that is crying out to be medicated by something other than God? Once you are able to identify the root of the destructive cycles you face, it will place you on a path towards healing.

Living in Harmony

In relationships, we should always aim to live in harmony with each other. In order to do that, we each must readily adjust ourselves to other people. This is not always easy to do, but the grace of God is available to help us.

Be At Peace

I speak peace to the storms that are raging in your life today. Be at peace and trust His promises to you. God is not slack concerning His promises. Make it a point to rest in His love for you.

It’s Time to Dream Again

Lately, I have witnessed so many people settling for less, whether in life, love, relationships, or even in their walk with God. Not only has fear set in, but complacency as well.

A Set Time

Tempers are flaring and many are contemplating giving up and letting go of their promises from the Lord. I beseech you today my brothers and sisters to hold on just a little while longer.

Letting Go

Self-effort has been one of my greatest struggles — I have always been wrapped up in my performance. Everything had to be done to the point of perfection.

His Grace Is Enough

“..And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” STOP trying to do it all. HIS Grace is Enough!

Speak Life

Begin to focus on what is going on in your heart. Luke 6:45 tells us that out of the abundance of the heart, our mouth speaks. Have you paid much attention to this connection?

Make An Exchange

God, I am ready. No more holding back, no more storing up treasures that will only hinder my growth and keep me from living the life that You have so graciously died to give me.

Prayer for Courage

Father, I so long to be bold and courageous as You have called me. I understand that You have not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind...

Let’s Start a New Epidemic

If we were all to put ourselves in the shoes of those working extra shifts, missing their loved one’s last moments, or dealing with domestic abuse because of stay at home orders, what would be the response?

Rest in God’s Love

Is there a place of certainty where we can find rest? “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NLT)

Hanging on By a Thread

"So be content with who you are, and don’t put on airs. God’s strong hand is on you; he’ll promote you at the right time. Live carefree before God;

Be Assured

In hardships, stay focused, pursue peace and never lose sight of the guaranteed of victory.

Compassionate Heart

“Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick.” Matthew 14:14

Covered

God never walks away from us, even in our worst state. Father, thank you for seeing me even in my broken state. Thank you for rescuing me because you delighted in me.

Enough with All the Lies

“If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9

It’s The Thought that Counts

He smiled widely as he mounted the stairs and approached the front door to the house. One hand behind his back, obviously hiding something. As he walked through the doorway, he leaned over to kiss me and proceeded to tell me he was thinking about me on his way home.

Be Spirit-Led

Father so often we take for granted the tools you have given us to help us live a holy life that is pleasing to you. I pray that we will begin to examine our own ways, our motives, our thoughts and our desires.

Reflections

I sit and I watch in awe, in wonder at the works of Your hands. It’s so majestic, yet so refreshing all in the same breath. Your power so quaint yet well-defined with each wave. You have taken me captive. I can’t seem to pull away.

Cast Your Cares on God

Father, teach us to rest in Your love for us. Too often we get sidetracked by the cares and the concerns of this world. Remind us of the need to keep our attention on Your promises to us. Remind us to come to You when we are worried, alone, tired, lonely, and afraid.
