God, I’m so tired. I’m tired of resistance. It feels like everywhere I turn, something is pushing against me. Trying to stuff me into a hole I don’t fit into. Trying to squish me and make me contort. My spirit is tired. I try to have a joyful heart, to meet these forces head on,… Continue reading Prayer Against Resistance

Prayer Journaling
Back many moons ago – many many moons ago, like when I was still pregnant with Esther moons ago – I kept a prayer journal. I have a hard time sometimes focusing when I pray, and writing out what I wanted to pray for helped me keep my head in the game. It is also… Continue reading Prayer Journaling
Walk and Pray
My walking partner has been a little under the weather the past few days, so today I took my morning walk alone. Back when I worked less and had a little more free time, I used to walk alone a good bit. And it never fails, those are some of my best times with God.… Continue reading Walk and Pray
Brain Dump
This is just a random brain dump from a couple of weeks ago. It’s kind of all over the place, and some of it is a little raw, but I thought there might be someone who resonated with at least some of it. Are the double standards real, or are they just inside my head?Do… Continue reading Brain Dump
My Toolbox
At my house there’s a toolbox Full of wrenches and screws, A hammer, some screwdrivers- All things I can use. When I have things to fix Or maintain in my home, I have what it takes To get any job done. But I have other tools That I use every day That enhance my life… Continue reading My Toolbox
God Is Everywhere
Do you have a special place you like to go to study and/or talk to God? My usual praying place is my shower, because, let’s face it, as a working mom or 4, that’s pretty much the only time I’m alone. And sometimes even then there’s that knock on the door that signals a child… Continue reading God Is Everywhere
Prayer for Peace and Direction
God, Help me remember You are all that matters. Everything I do is to be done to please You. It only matters truly what You think of me, not anyone else. I should do all I can to live in unity and harmony with others, but when it all comes down to it, You are… Continue reading Prayer for Peace and Direction
Praying for My Husband
Just a quick one today! In my inbox a few days ago was an email from one of the mailing lists I’m subscribed to. It was from Candace at His Mercy Is New. She has committed to praying for her husband daily through the month of February using scripture. While I pray for my husband… Continue reading Praying for My Husband
Thanksgiving Thoughts
This is a repost from my Facebook page two years ago. You ever feel like every time you turn around, there’s a certain verse, or message, popping up? And you finally say, “Yes, God, I’m listening.” I’ve had that so many times. And here we are again. The book that I’m reading had this sentence,… Continue reading Thanksgiving Thoughts
Prayer Share
Do you ever write down your prayers? I do. Often. My brain likes to go in 15 directions at once, and I find if I write my prayers, it helps keep me focused and not headed down rabbit trails. Other wise my prayers go something like, “Thank you God for my children. I love them… Continue reading Prayer Share
Praise to the Creator
A prayer of praise to our Creator.
God, I’m Tired
God, I’m tired. I know one thing You didn’t say Was life will be easy every day. In our life there will be problems But You’ll be there to help us solve them. I know that I can trust in You To be in everything I do. But, God, I’m tired. Earthly cares have made… Continue reading God, I’m Tired
Love Like Jesus
Looking through my Facebook memories today, this popped up that I had shared a couple of years ago. I thought it would be good to share here. “All I’ve ever wanted is to love like Jesus. I just want to be there for people. To help people. Even people that hate me, I would help… Continue reading Love Like Jesus
Remind Me, Lord
God, I sit empty and alone I fall to pieces at the foot of Your throne Begging You to make me whole To put the fire back in my soul I’m torn and trembling, weak and spent I don’t know where my courage went It feels like everything I do Falls apart to pieces, too… Continue reading Remind Me, Lord
Prayer Share
Trouble comes in life. In so many forms. On a personal level, and on a global level. Much of it comes from a lack of clear communication – sometimes on the part of the speaker, and sometimes on the part of the listener. And sometimes both. Much of it comes from a failure to really… Continue reading Prayer Share
Call to Prayer
The first Wednesday of every month, our congregation has a special service we call Uplift instead of having our usual Bible study classes. It’s different every month. We might have a song service, or a special lesson, or a prayer service, which is what we did this past Wednesday. With the situation in Ukraine, the… Continue reading Call to Prayer
