Hear my cry, O God (Psalm 61:1). I know God hears me. His word promises me that He hears everything. But I don’t always feel like He hears me. I call and cry out. And wait. How long, Lord? I see the appearance of an answer, but then it fades away. I call and cry…

Sing Praises
O clap your hands, all peoples; shout to God with the voice of joy…Sing praises to God, sing praises; Sing praises…sing praises…sing praises…God reigns…He is highly exalted. (Psalm 47:1,6,8,9 NASB) I woke up feeling a little off. Too many thoughts ran through my mind. Too many things for my to-do list. Too much. My mind…
God Provides Enough
There is always enough with the Lord. There will be enough for you. His ways are not the ways of the world. Do not fear when the enemy tempts with his ways. In this world we have tribulation (John 16:33). We have troubles. But God is enough. He sees us through the troubles. He always…
Praise In All Times and Seasons
God never says to be sad, or miserable, or irritable, or to feel sorry for ourselves. He only ever says to praise Him and thank Him and to call on Him. He is faithful and good. Our moods and feelings come and go, but the Lord is steadfast. His mercies are new every morning. His…

When someone is hurting from major distress or hurting from minor, constant pervasive trials, I wonder if my answer sounds pat, or too simple. When I’m struggling with big or little problems, for the long…
He Gives Us What We Need
The Lord gives us what we need. He gives me what I need. He gives you what you need. The Spirit of the Lord spoke to me to rest. He knew I needed it. Yet, I argued with Him. I questioned Him. “Really, Lord? Is this from You?” Even as He led me and directed…
Worthy of Praise
The Lord is worthy of praise. He is worthy of praise no matter my circumstance, no matter my busyness or overwhelm, no matter my mood. He is worthy of praise. He is worthy of my praise. He is first. That’s my God. He is the One who created the heavens and the earth. He is…
Feeling and Knowing
“I am always with you. I am with you.” The Lord is always with us even when it doesn’t seem like it. When we can’t feel Him, He is with us. The Bible never talks about feeling God that I’m aware of. It talks about loving God. It talks about knowing Him. It talks about…
