Be Honest – Can you see yourself? We talked in Bible Study about discernment. One small part of that was to be able to say no to four questions before being open to hear the Holy Spirit (the Truth). The four questions were: Am I a critical or suspicious person by nature? Am I jealous… Continue reading BE HONEST – CAN YOU SEE YOURSELF?

BEING CALLED TO PRAY
Being Called to Pray I have noticed lately that God is revealing more people that need prayers. Each day it seems new names come forward. I used to think I needed to keep a long list of these requests. But they became so many it overwhelmed me. I have come to believe He wants me… Continue reading BEING CALLED TO PRAY
OUR INSURANCE
Our Insurance Janet Sketchley commented on last Friday’s post called God Never Runs Out: “Thanks for this reminder, Jan! Thinking about some of the things we refill… I tend to use them sparingly, ration them so I don’t run out. Often that’s silly because it’s an easy thing to replace.

Praying Our Lives Twice today in the space of about 15 minutes God reminded me about simplicity. First I met a woman who had a garage full of stuff and talked about needing to get rid of things. She knows the need; now she needs the courage to do it. Next I read a post… Continue reading PRAYING OUR LIVES
PRAYING FOR THE WORLD

Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so we can be quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation. This is the way our Savior God… Continue reading PRAYING FOR THE WORLD
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
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
