Prayer

Counting What Truly Counts

Scripture Focus: Psalm 90:12 “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Psalm 90 is written against the vast backdrop of God’s eternity. Mountains rise and fall, generations come and go, yet God remains. In that setting, Psalm 90:12 emerges not as a lament, but as a prayer…
Living Life on Purpose

Scripture focus: Ephesians 5:15-17 “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.” There is a quiet urgency in Paul’s counsel to the Ephesians—an invitation to wake up…
When God Invites Us to Call

Scripture Focus: Jeremiah 33:3 “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” There’s something tender about the way God speaks in this verse. He doesn’t say, “If you figure everything out, then I’ll respond,” or, “When you’ve cleaned up your life, come see Me.”…
The Season That Gives Back

Not in the shimmer of wrapping,nor in the weight of the tree,but in gentle, quiet offeringsthe season speaks to me. A hand reached out in kindness,a prayer breathed soft and low,a place at the table widenedso one more heart may glow. Joy does not come wrapped in ribbons—it walks in on tender feet,found in the…
Where I Last Saw the Light

When the old ache rises like a black tide,and voices of doubt snarl in the dark,when the path turns braille beneath your feet,and every prayer feels like a door unlatched to storm— turn back to the seam where mercy tore the night.Find the hush where Scripture warmed your hands,the lantern of one remembered promise,the quiet…
When God Stops You in Your Tracks

There are moments in a believer’s journey when God doesn’t simply whisper from a distance—He steps right into our path and stops us. Not in anger, but in mercy. Not to shame us, but to save us from the direction we’re heading. Saul’s experience on the Damascus road is one of those rare moments, and…
Daniel — A Life of Unshakable Excellence

Daniel’s story begins under the shadow of loss. Jerusalem has fallen, temple vessels glint in foreign hands, and a young Hebrew—likely still in his teens—is carried off to Babylon. Yet from the very outset, what defines Daniel is not where he lives, but Whom he serves. In that new, glittering, pagan world, Daniel’s connection with…
The Shape of Thanks in the Unseen

Gratitude sometimes arriveswithout a face—a ripple moving through the darkas if an unseen winghad brushed the surface of our world. It is a soundless thing,like color underwater,or a lantern floating upwardwithout fire. It walks the corridorsbetween what is lostand what is not yet born,gathering fragments—a forgotten warmth,a pulse of light,a name we once whispered in…
When the Sky Breaks Open

Inspired by Luke 21:36 “Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” Watch—for the shadows grow long,and the air hums with the tremor of things unseen.The earth shifts underfoot,and the nations hold their…
Have They Really Heard?

Sometimes I catch myself wondering how many children and teens today have ever really heard the gospel of Jesus Christ. Not just that “God is love,” but that “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Not just that we should “be kind,” but that “the wages of sin is…
