Hearing is Believing

716) When I was a child, I remember trying to think through my understanding of God. (No small feat, of course!) Most of the time, I’d do this after I was in bed and the covers pulled up to my chin. There was a time that I can remember praying, “Ok, God. I want to

Little by Little

674) Teenagers often have a different timetable than adults. Many want what they want and they want it now. Sometimes we hang onto this immediate demanding into adulthood and it makes trusting God difficult. As we pray, we may demand that God act upon our prayers immediately, but God may not do this. In Exodus

No Calls on Hold

606) With caller ID, it’s made communicating with others more convenient. It helps us weed out those we do not wish to converse with.  What is amazing, however, is that God also knows who is calling Him and Jeremiah 33:3 tells us He always picks up the call. He longs to have a conversation with

Prayer is a Mystery to Me

592) If you travel in Christian circles, it’s not unusual to hear someone say, “Please pray for me” or “I’ll pray for you.” I’m hopeful that many mean what they say, that they believe in the power of prayer. As a child, I used to think about this, asking my horrified Sunday school teacher, “Why

519)  I had a professor at Bible college say that he dreamed he asked God who was the human being that has done the most for Him. The reply was a little elderly woman. Curious, the professor asked what she did that earned this distinction and God said that she spent hours and hours in

“The Prayer that Never Fails”

475)  My all-time favorite author, Jan Karon, has her characters possess what they call, “The Prayer that Never Fails” and I think this is the perfect title. When we ask God for things but add, “Not my will but Yours,” we acknowledge that He has our best interests at heart. Standing on this promise takes

Prayer is Difficult

329)  I have always found prayer difficult. It’s so important to me to read my listener’s face, hear their tone of voice and sense more watching their body language. This is why our prayers are an act of faith. This limited communication will end someday and then we’ll see God face to face. Revelation 22:4-5

Your Sorrow is Noticed

318) Many of us harbor pain and despair. We wonder if this means we have no faith in God or if He is disappointed in us. Psalm 10:17 tells us God encourages us to cry out to Him. He notices our sorrows. Tell Him all about them.

A Difficult Commandment

300) As Christians, we are commanded to do things that are often difficult. One is that we are to pray for those who mistreat us. It’s amazing how your attitude toward this person will change as you pray for them.  Luke 6:28
