A Prayer for a Weary Body

I come to You, my body, aching and weak.

O Lord, strengthen every place that's frail.

Align every place that's crooked.

Calm every place that's inflamed.

Speak Your peace to every pain signal.

I will wait on You.

Selah...

Able...but Willing?

Most of us believe God is able. But is He willing? We know He is powerful. We fully believe He healed diseases, raised the dead, and brought dignity back to a bleeding woman and untouchable lepers. We read those words in Scripture and think, "Yes! That's my God." But in the same breath, we don't believe He would do that for us. We think, "He wouldn't do that for me. " Not true. God was active then. He is active now. We don't worship a passive, distant God. If that's the God you are worshipping, you need to exchange Him for the real One...

A Prayer To Remember the Goodness of God

I declare Your goodness on the peaks.

I declare Your goodness in the pit.

You are still good.

In the moments of heartache,

In the miles of wilderness,

In the marrow of the unknown,

You are still good.

For Your name's sake...

A Prayer for the Striving Heart

I commit to walk in Your Word and Your ways.

Hope Already In Progress

A couple weeks ago I wrote about my conversation with God...the journey of healing He is taking me on. November seems to be the month He whispered to me a few years ago.But I need to come right out and say it. My hope is not in November. It's not in the healing. It's in the Healer. It's in Jesus. And there's a big difference.

My Heart to Heart With God...

God and I had a heart to heart this week. I've struggled for health over the last 20 years. It's been a haul. But a while back, God whispered that He would heal me…and He even put a timeframe on it. November 2016. Do you know how scary that is to write?
