Having a bad day? Just remember, God is always at war for us. Even when it seems like He’s nowhere to be found, He’s fighting for us!
They say “the most dangerous lies are the lies that you believe about yourself. ”
Ladies, if you find yourself getting restless and anxious instead of patiently waiting for your Boaz, here are three things you must understand…
Guilt and shame are two of Christian’s biggest enemies. They slither into our lives taking our joy, our confidence and hindering our relationships. We try hard to ignore them hoping they will just leave us alone but they only become a heavier weight to bear. Guilt and shame are the voices in our heads that tells us we are not doing enough for God, for our family or job. They are the voices that scream at us telling us to believe that everything that goes wrong is somehow our fault. They spew the lies: If you only would have done this…
It has taken my whole life to finally realize that God means what He says. Proverbs 3: 5-6 tells us to lean not on our own understanding, but to rely totally and completely on God. God also tells us in His word that He has everything under control. He knew the plan for our lives even before we were born. (Jeremiah 29:11). The Bible gives us so many verses that tell us to Trust in God..over and over and over again. One day, my 12 year old son woke up throwing up all over the place. Each time,…
So you’ve been stressed out…stressed out about your health, bills, kids, and/or career. The great thing is that you got on your knees and talked to God. You reminded Him of Peter 5:7 that says, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” Afterwards, you both agreed that He would take your burdens. However, a little while after returning to your feet, you thought about your burden and possible solutions. Before you knew it, you were carrying it again. This happens all too often when we take our concerns to the Lord. We may pray about a…
I am the head and not the tail, I am above and not beneath Deuteronomy 28:13 This verse could not be more timely. Even when you have been taken advantage of, cheated, hurt or forgotten – you are still the head. You are still a mark above the mess in your life because of God. If you have given your life to Christ, you are a part of His kingdom, so no matter what your government does, what your bosses do to you or how bad your circumstances may be, you can rest assured you are in His hands and…
It doesn’t matter if you go to church every day, or every Sunday. What really matters is the person you’re becoming every time you step out of the church. What good does it do to be praying earnestly when you can’t even listen to someone who needs someone to talk to? So what if you’re present in every church activity, when you’re distant from your family and friends because you can’t make time for them. What is the use of knowing and memorizing the Bible verse line per line when you don’t live out to what it means? The essence…
I asked my 84-year-old aunt what was one of her secrets to living a long life, and she said she prays about everything. I was reminded of 1Thessalonians 5:17 which says, “Pray without ceasing.” My aunt said that she can remember becoming stressed out about many things in the past, but that was not good for her. I was also reminded of Philippians 4:6 that instructs us to be anxious for nothing, but through all things with prayer and supplication, let our requests be made known to God.” The conversation with my aunt reminded me of all of the times…
For the last few years, particularly after my family and I lost my mother who was very much the spiritual glue in the family, I’ve watched my family spiral out of control. Losing touch with God and my mother’s memory, I have seen how that has created a situation where my family has lost touch with one another. Every time I come home, I am reminded how self-centered, individualistic, uncompassionate, hypocritical and cold so many of my loved ones have become. I see how callous and dismissive they can be to my beloved grandmother and it truly breaks my heart.…

Some people have demanding jobs which keeps them constantly on the move and having to remember various tasks. Often when I have many deadlines and tasks on my to-do list, I struggle to get through them all and so sometimes side-line and neglect some tasks. At work, I know that if I am assigned to do something, I need to get to it right away, otherwise I may forget and then it piles onto the bottom of my to-do list. God actively works 24/7 and He does not sleep. No matter how many times we call on Him, He never…
Are you stuck in a hard place and can’t see a way out? Here are 5 Steps To Trusting God When Life is Hard
I’m in desperate need of prayer. I’m a 30 something year old woman and have been married to my husband for 7 years. Problem is, I haven’t been in love with him for about 5 of those years. I asked him for a divorce, we started the process, and then I stopped the divorce for fear of dissappointing God. My husband has not cheated on me (not that I know of). He’s a good man . I’m just not in love with him anymore. I don’t want to have sex with him and I know he deserves someone who will love him whole…
I can’t count how many times I’ve prayed, waited, prayed some more, and then when my prayers weren’t answered when I expected, I automatically assumed God did not love me. (silly me) I couldn’t understand why everyone around me was being blessed and my prayers were going unheard. Some of the things I was praying for two years ago, I can honestly now sit back and laugh about. If I had my way, I would probably still be with my ex dealing with the same issues I was dealing with two years ago. But thank God… He knows all and sees all. He knows…
I thank God for my emptiness. It is like a gift wrapped haphazardly by the Giver in an unappealing wrapper. You wouldn’t know how beautiful it is until you’ve opened it. If it wasn’t for that hungry pang for something better, I wouldn’t have strived harder. If it wasn’t for that emptiness, I wouldn’t have been desperate to search for an answer. I would have been complacent. I might have been living contentedly with “just enough”. Your emptiness can do stupendous things in your life. My emptiness did these incredible things in my life: My emptiness gave me the drive…
If you know me, then you know that I do not ride roller coasters. I don’t even like the small ones. Because I am not a fan of heights, I’m not going to put myself in a place where I will be suspended in mid-air just for fun. When my brother asked me to ride the Superman ride at Six Flags Great Adventure, you can guess the answer that I gave him. However, 10 minutes later I found myself standing in the line of over 100 people, waiting to get on the Superman ride. I could not believe that I…
