Who Prayed for Me? by T. L. Wiens Two weekends in a row I’ve had to make the seven-hour trip to Edmonton for different events. Both times, I’ve come very close to an accident and both times, I’ve thanked God for taking care of me, protecting me. It made me wonder about who might be praying… Continue reading WHO PRAYED FOR ME?

DOXOLOGY AND PRAISE
Doxology and Praise On Wednesday Judith Lawrence wrote a “Litany of Praise”. It was a poem of praise with a response. This morning I thought of our response to the Lord’s Prayer. “For Thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever, Amen.” This is a type of litany but it is… Continue reading DOXOLOGY AND PRAISE
LITANY OF PRAISE
Litany of Praise by Judith Lawrence Sometimes, when I read the scriptures in my morning prayer time, certain words jump out at me and I write them down in my journal before they pass me by and I forget what seemed so important to me as I read the words.

DRIVING ALONG
Driving Along I find the best time to pray is in my car when I am alone. I turn up my CD with my Christian praise and worship songs and I sing my heart to God. As I listen to the words I fill my soul with how much I love our God. Hosanna by… Continue reading DRIVING ALONG
APPROACHING GOD THE FATHER
Approaching God the Father By T. L. Wiens I was blessed in life to have a wonderful dad. He demonstrated everything a father should be. He loved me and showed it through his actions.

I could picture revival as a train roaring in the distance. I started to pray for this ‘revival of spirits and… Continue reading PRAYER FOR REVIVAL

CONSTANT COMMUNICATION?
Constant Communication? I listened to a speaker last night talk about her trips to Nicaragua. She had thought that the “purpose” of the mission is to dig wells. However, she told us that instead of that being the case – they didn’t even get water on her first trip – an important element of the… Continue reading CONSTANT COMMUNICATION?
PRAYER AS LISTENING
Prayer as Listening by Judith Lawrence In the first book of Kings, chapter 19, we read of how Elijah had been rushing about; he was running away from the pursuit of the prophets of Baal and he ended up in a cave on the side of a mountain where he hid, not only from the… Continue reading PRAYER AS LISTENING
JESUS – MY NEWEL POST
Jesus – My Newel Post As I reached for the banister on the stair I put my hand around the newel post. That’s the post that supports the stairway. I thought, “This is like our Lord – strong, sturdy and steadfast.” I like thinking of ways to relate to Jesus. We have songs in Sunday… Continue reading JESUS – MY NEWEL POST
