God is my rock. He remains solid and steadfast, firm and unchanging. He is God. I may wake up in a good mood or bad mood, but He doesn’t change. Some days, I hear Him with crystal clarity and some days I hear Him as if I’m under water. But He doesn’t change. He is…

My Soul Longs For the Lord
I lift up my voice. My soul longs for You, Lord. My soul longs for You. I walk in this world on the path You have laid, on this path made for me. I walk step by step, seeking Your ways, to walk as You walked, by faith and in love. And I lift up…
I Want My Eyes on Jesus
For my eyes are toward Thee, O God, the Lord; in Thee I take refuge (Psalm 141:8 NASB). I come before the Lord and give Him everything. I give Him all that I am and rest in Him. He is my refuge, my hiding place, my strong tower, my defender and defense. May my eyes…
Listen To Me, Lord
I said to the Lord, “Thou art my God; Give ear, O Lord, to the voice of my supplications.” (Psalm 140:6 NASB) As much as I want the Lord to move on my behalf, to answer my prayers in vibrant, concrete ways, sometimes, I just want Him to listen to me. Sometimes, I just want…
Hemmed In
Thou hast enclosed me behind and before, and laid Thy hand upon me (Psalm 139:5 NASB). The Lord has hemmed me in. To some, I think, this is a stifling thought, that God has enclosed them. To me, it’s a comfort. It’s freedom. It’s peace. It’s God’s love. God spoke that word to me once,…
Answers, Thankfulness, Trust, and Fears
I’m so used to crying out in my trials that when the Lord answers and relieves them or a portion of them, I’m not sure how to respond. Yes, I’m happy, often excited. I praise the Lord. I thank my God. Then I come before Him to fellowship and spend time with Him one on…
Hope In A Foreign Land
There are days when everything seems to go wrong. When everything feels wrong. More often than not, I’m one to say, “Praise the Lord,” and one to sing loud and strong in the midst of trouble. I’m one who tells others to trust God and that He is faithful. I’m one to tell myself these…
God Never Ends
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting (Psalm 136:1 NASB). God’s love never ends. God’s love lasts forever. Forever is a long time. When I was in college, in Math for Teachers, we were discussing infinity and how to explain the concept. How could we show the abstract…
God Knows Best
God can do whatever He wants. Whatever He pleases, He does (Psalm 135:6). Sometimes I have to remind myself of this. Sometimes, I don’t like what He’s doing. Sometimes, character building is hard and painful. Sometimes, trusting God is the last thing I want to do. Sometimes, I want Him to step in and stop…
How Do I Bless God?
Behold, bless the Lord, all servants of the Lord…(Psalm 134:1 NASB). How do I bless the Lord? What is blessing even? If I call blessings things that are physical, like a needed job or car or other thing that I deem good, then what, exactly, is blessing the Lord? I can’t exactly give Him a…
