Hurricane Nicholas knocked out our power for about 5hrs yesterday.  But the cable TV, WiFi and phone service just came a few hours ago !   Minor inconveniences really - grateful for no damage

Lord, when my heart is overwhelmed, overwhelm me with Your peace. Lead me to You, my rock. Guide me to Your Word which gives me strength and refuge. Help me not to run to lesser things. Draw me to run to You first. Help me get into the habit of taking my “overwhelmed” and placing it under your will. Thank You, Lord. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Hope for the Broken Hearted

When we think of the examples in the Bible like Joseph; the parting of the Red Sea; Daniel in the lion's den; and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, it's clear that sometimes God does lead us into and/or allows what look like impossible situations with no way of escape. He does this so He can reveal His power in the midst of our circumstances and so his followers will learn to trust and abide in Him. Whatever troubling situation you find yourself in, trust that God is with you. He knows what He is doing and whatever He allows is often for a plan and purpose beyond what we can see or understand at the time. He who promises is faithful, and He is with you in all that you face.

Hope for the Brokenhearted

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for this day and for your grace that will sustain us. We admit, Father, there is so much that’s happening that is discouraging. When we are tempted to think that our lives will never be good again…when we are tempted to focus only on our hardships and all that is wrong in the world…when we are struggling to see your hand at work…help us remember you bring beauty from the ashes. You turn our burdens into blessings. You turn our messes into messages. You turn our tests into testimonies of your faithfulness. You waste nothing in our lives, and everything is useful in your plans.
We are grateful you are the God of the impossible…The Giver Of Life…and The God of All Power and Knowledge. You transform lives and hopeless situations. Every time we are tempted to give up and think nothing else can be done, help us remember that things aren’t over until you say they are over. Help us remember that you have options, ideas, and resources that we can’t begin to imagine.
We give you praise, glory, and honor this day. We are grateful that each day that passes brings us one day closer to being with you…one day closer t

Soul Transforming Prayers

Lord, I am determined to be a woman who is completely led by Your Holy Spirit. I will not allow myself to be controlled by fear, impatience, anger, the opinions of others, or my own fleshly desires. Strengthen my desire to be led by You alone, Lord, so that I am not enslaved unaware. Thank you for always guiding me and enabling me to be led by Your Holy Spirit and walk in ever-increasing, true freedom. In the awesome name of Jesus, Amen.

Soul Transforming Prayers

Lord, I'm sensing that I need to stop all mental activity: worry, anxiety, fear, all the what-if's, and just be still. God everything in me wants to freak out but instead I'm going to still my heart. Still my thoughts. And just allow myself to be in Your presence. Thank you for calming my heart as I am still in Your holy presence. In the awesome name of Jesus, Amen.

Soul Transforming Prayers

Lord, I confess that patience is not my strong point. So right now I surrender my idea of when things should happen. I am determined to walk in love, and to trust in Your perfect timing. When impatience rears its ugly head, help me not to give in. Help me instead to walk in a constant state of surrender, and to grow in this area, always trusting You. In Jesus’s precious name, Amen.

Hope For The Broken Hearted

Though things change in this life, our God doesn't. He never goes back on His word. In Isaiah 46:4, God promises, "Even to your old age and gray hair, I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you, and I will rescue you".
We may not know what the future holds, but we know who holds the future and us. We can trust His heart towards us and His promises to us. May you find comfort in The Creator of All who knows your days from beginning to end and promises to see you through.

Love. You 😘🌹
