When we are in Christ, we are clothed in Him. We are covered by Him. We are sheltered by Him. No disaster comes near our tent — no harm shall overcome you (Psalm 91:10). On the day of judgement, we are saved by Him. …by the word of God…the earth was formed out of water…

Praying The Lord’s Prayer
This came from a question I had for the Lord at a difficult time. My question was this: Lord, how do I pray in unity with You, in a way that blesses You and honors You? And this is how I received His answer. Father in heaven, Your name is holy. Let Your kingdom come.…
Weary and Burdened
Oh Father, I am heartbroken. It all seems impossible. Though, nothing is impossible with You (Luke 1:37; Matthew 19:26). “Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28).” I am so burdened. I come to You with this burden — again. I am so weary. I come to…
God Remains
God remains. No matter what my circumstances, no matter what my mood may be, no matter if I feel His presence or feel close to Him, God remains. He is unchanging. My life is one of change. His truth is truth. My truth, if I choose to follow it, adjusts according to my latest whim…
A Word to the Discouraged
“Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me (John 14:1).” It is right to praise the Lord. The Lord says: “You have rightly praised Me. It is right to praise in the storm, in the joys, in the sorrows, and in the hopes. I have made you promises and they…
Loving Others
My prayer is that all my beliefs would get into my actions. I believe in love, seeing others through Christ’s eyes, and being more concerned with others’ needs than my own. But I get out in public and am self-conscious, self-protective, and focused on me. I believe in caring for the poor, for those who…
Anxiety and Peace
Sometimes, my emotions get the best of me. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7). That first line, “Be anxious for…
Trust and Rest
I’m having one of those days. Or maybe it’s a week…or weeks. I know my Redeemer lives. In the end, He will stand on the earth. (Job 19:25). This is good news. And I praise my God. But today, I want Him here right now. I need His rest. I need His presence. Trust in…
Power of Praise
It’s not my job to figure things out. It’s my job to praise and give glory and proclaim that God is God. How many times I’ve said that God is God and I’m not, yet I keep trying to step into His shoes. His ways are not my ways, yet I keep trying to figure…
The Lord Takes Care of His Own
Let me never forget that the Lord is faithful. His word is true. And His word is good. When things go wrong or there’s a challenge in front of me, so often my knee-jerk reaction is to take it on as my own battle. I see it as a problem that needs to be fixed…
