Yes! There absolutely is!!! I spent up to four hours a day praying during those first 14 years of our marriage. God wasn’t answering my prayers. Why, in my case, was He not listening to me? If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. Psalm 66:18 I have to… Continue reading “There Must Be More to This Journey Than Just Prayer”

“Why Does She Get a Better Husband Than I Have?”
From a precious sister in Christ regarding the issue of our husbands praying with us. I’m so thankful for her willingness to allow me to share her thoughts: Just had one of those random thoughts regarding this issue, may have come from breathing chicken feathers while cleaning the hen house, lol!

“Lord, I Don’t Want to Do Your Will.”
I have been doing an amazing Kay Arthur study on prayer with a ladies’ group at my church this summer called, “Lord, teach me to pray.” I love her point (pg. 54): “And what is the root of all sin?

Why Should I Trust God? Why Should I Submit to His Lordship?

What if God wants to hurt me? Who is God? It’s too hard to stop trusting myself and to trust… Continue reading Why Should I Trust God? Why Should I Submit to His Lordship?
My Identity in Christ – the ONLY Source of My Power, Strength, Hope, Security, Peace, and Joy!

Totally Change Your Reality
Our daughter and I watched a show with a cat behaviorist, Jackson Galaxy, together last week. The cat owner was a famous young woman who often tweeted about her cat and used some dreadful names for him in her tweets. Galaxy said something profound: Words have power. What you speak becomes your reality. He talked… Continue reading Totally Change Your Reality
Righteous Jealousy and Anger
I have been listening to a podcast series on the attributes of God by Wayne Grudem from Systematic Theology. If you get a chance to listen to that part, it is really good! He was talking about God’s righteous jealousy and God’s holy wrath in the podcast I listened to today. And I want to be… Continue reading Righteous Jealousy and Anger
Please, God! Ask Me for Anything But This!
From a dear single sister in Christ who is in her thirties, I so appreciate her willingness to share her story – and I believe that what God showed her is something He wants to show each of us as His followers: I remember when God asked me to give up my dreams. “Okay God,… Continue reading Please, God!
