Marriage is a gift from God. Yet often, the greatest gifts in life are not always cherished the way they should be. Maybe because life gets a little busy, or we get hurried and distracted. Maybe because we start to take one another for granted. Or we disagree and let resentment hang on longer than it should. The baggage we bring from our past doesn’t help much either. What worked for us as two individuals, coping through the everyday stresses of life, may not work so well when joined as “one.” We spin our wheels comparing our own marriage to someone…

It’s not about having time for God. It’s about making time. Here are 5 Easy Ways to Incorporate Short Prayers Into Your Daily Routine.
When things go wrong, what do you tell yourself? Do you beat yourself up with the could-have-beens? Do you berate yourself? Do you call yourself names—stupid, useless waste of space, good for nothing, loser? Where did you get those ideas? Most probably from the people close to you and grew up with. Your parents, your siblings, your teachers, or your classmates. Growing up, we heard people call us names, laughed at our mistakes and judged us from the failures we made. We have these accusations and condemnations tattooed on our minds and when we enter the “real life”, we bring these…
Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete. —John 16:24 The universe has been created in such a way that when we ask, if we ask in confidence in the name of Jesus, it will be given to us. Amazing, right? God knows what we need even before we ask for it. Oftentimes though we are confused and we don’t know what we really want. We straggle from the path that leads to our destiny because we get pulled by distractions. We sometimes take the road…
I am lost, I mean completely lost, things are not going as I planned since almost 3 years now, I am 22. I lost my dad 4 years ago in a car accident, since then I’ve been battling so hard with my faith. He was our only source of income, a year after his death I met someone who at first was really nice to me, then it became a long distance relationship that had no future. I stopped it and started with this new man I thought would be my salvation. He was 32 then, but he was so…
Lord, I pray for the courage and strength to let go of relationships that are holding me back. I will not be afraid to let go of OLD toxic relationships. Because I know that holding on to toxic relationships could be what’s standing in the way of my next blessing! When others do me wrong, give me the courage to turn the other cheek. Give me the courage to give them a piece of my heart when I really want to give them a piece of my mind. Let my heart not be hardened by heartbreak. Teach me how to love again and understand…

Lord, I just want to thank You for all of the blessings, and continued support You have given to me and my family in times of adversity. You are the most high God and we continue to marvel at your works. I ask You Lord Father to continue blessing and touching and healing our lives.

You say where two or more of us are gathered You live, I continue to ask You to free all of us from financial burden, touch us Lord that extra jobs…
I can’t count the amount of emails we receive from people who say they “don’t know how to pray”. Some simply have doubts that God even hears their prayers. Although there’s no “official” way to pray, I decided to share a few pointers that have changed my life tremendously! Pray without Ceasing- Just because God doesn’t answer your prayer when you feel like He should, doesn’t mean He’s not listening. Continue to pray, Continue to trust and have faith that God will never forsake you. He hears you and He will answer you. -1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray for Others- Did…
At some point in our lives, we all must suffer heartache. Whether it’s the death of a loved one, abandonment from a parent, or the end of a relationship/friendship. Sometimes without realizing, we become hardened by our losses. That’s not the way God planned it! Psalm 147:3 says “He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.” Through prayer we are able to ask God for healing. Instead, most of us become angry with God, We turn away from Him, and we began to question ” Why me?” “If God really loved me, why would He allow me to feel…
I recall a conversation I had with a good friend of mine several months ago. Although we both live in different states, we would always call on each other in our time of need. She was experiencing her share of disappointments and just needed to vent. So when asked the question… “What’s wrong?” She immediately replied “EVERYTHING” . She said that she had just received a call from her dad, letting her know that her mother’s breast cancer had come out of remission. She began to explain to me that she was hurting over the recent breakup of her 7…
