  • My Prayer

    I pause and pray so much more today than in the past, to address my anxiety, to share my burdens, to ask for guidance, to seek God’s will, or just to share my joy.  In that time of prayer, in knowing that I’m not alone and in believing that my hope and strength come from…

  • He Hears Me

    There are times when I wonder if God is listening…does He really hear me? But when I remember those piercing moments of peace, or those timely moments of clarity, or those unexpected and unexplained moments of calm, it’s then I’m convinced He’s with me and He hears me. I tried to capture those thoughts in…

  • Miracles

    There are many moments I forget how close God truly is. But the more I seek, the more I find His presence everywhere and His fingerprints on everything – in creation for sure; in that unexpected moment where someone calls at that perfect time with the perfect comment; in that reminder of what God has…

  • Moments

    I think each of us find ourselves thinking forward to what is yet to come and pondering what that might entail. Then, the longer we focus on the future and what’s coming next, we open ourselves up for the anxiety that naturally comes. When I find myself doing that, I’m quickly drawn back to focusing…

  • Reflection

    Any time of transition is a great opportunity to reflect on the past, assess the current, and look forward with expectation and excitement. Our focus should be on recognizing God’s presence in those past and present moments and committing to seeking and finding Him even more often in the moments ahead. I think that focus…

  • Wisdom & Discernment

    Here are just some of the things we need wisdom for – right focus; right attitude; right learning; right surroundings; right relationships; right choices; right steps. So thankful for the roadmap to wisdom that the Lord has given us in scripture! And grateful for the Lord’s patience as I learn and grow! “Wisdom & Discernment”…

  • In Each Moment

    Simple prayers like this allow me to tune into His presence and tune out the increasing noise of the world. And it’s in these moments when I am tuning in that I remember His promises and experience His peace. My quest – tuning in and trusting even more. In each moment! “In Each Moment” In…

  • Draw Me Close to You, Lord

    In the busyness of each day, I need those divine reminders to call on Him, to bring Him into each moment, and to trust Him for whatever this next step might be. Awe and gratitude seem to be those things that let me focus properly on His presence and His promises. It’s in those moments…

  • Work in Progress

    God is at work in each of us…growing us, teaching us, edifying us…a life-long effort to help us be more like Him, with the ultimate outcome of being completed at the time we enter His presence in glory. And oh what a challenge He had in me! So thankful for Him nurturing in this process…

  • Seeking & Thirsting

    In all our circumstances and seasons, it’s important to know that we can long for the Lord, desire to have Him present with us, trust in His promises of provision and protection, and be thankful for His love, His mercy, and His grace. Seeking and thirsting for the Lord – what David did in his…
