Letting Go in the In-Between
“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps” (Proverbs 16:9). “Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established” (Proverbs 16:3). Is anyone else in a season of in-between? Wondering what the future holds and how plans will unfold? Or, if I am being honest, is anyone…

Satisfied With Good Things
“He satisfies you with good things.”Psalm 103:5 Today I simply bring thanks. No polished words.No profound story.Just a quiet heart overflowing with gratitude. Father, Your gifts are good gifts.The warmth of the sun.A stranger’s smile.A moment of stillness that settles the soul. Teach me to receive these simple mercies with joy.But even more, teach my…

The Reason We Run
“Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith” (Hebrews 12:1-2). This week my gifts felt more like burdens I needed to squeeze into a hectic life and less like opportunities to walk next to God. It made my feet feel heavy and…

He Gives More
“Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?” (Mathew 7:9). I realized this week I had been praying for the wrong thing. My prayer was not outside of God’s will, nor contrary to how He is working in this particular situation. It was simply “less than.”…

Have You Not Heard?
“Who has measured the water in the hollow of his hand or marked off the heavens with the span of his hand? Who has gathered the dust of the earth in a measure or weighed the mountains on a balance and the hills on the scales? Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord, or…

A Prayer for the One Feeling Small
Sometimes this big world makes us feel small and insignificant. But God speaks truth into the darkness: So to the one feeling small today, I am praying this scripture over you: “May you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is.…

More Than Words
“As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?” (Psalm 42:1-2) Do you ever crack open your Bible and the words seem to fall flat? When my heart feels this, I have…

Prayer
“And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, ‘Abba! Father!’” (Galatians 4:6) It is good to remember God’s holiness. He is, after all, the all-powerful creator of the universe. But He is also our comforter, our protector, and the Father whose love is beyond comprehension. …
