A SONG PRAYER
A Song Prayer by T. L. Wiens We often sing songs that use words from the Psalms. Many of these are prayers—the heart’s cry from God’s people. I don’t always think about that as I follow the words and attach them to melody. But today, as I was humming to myself, it hit me—this is… Continue reading A SONG PRAYER
FEAR
Fear by T. L. Wiens It’s always easier to see things from the outside looking in. Recently I watched someone close to me fall into a vortex of fear. He went from a man of faith to a man stumbling over the most basic of Christ centered principles. His eyes are wild when I see him… Continue reading FEAR
LOVING THE ENEMY
Loving the Enemy by T. L. Wiens My son was being bullied to the point that he was ready to take a gun to school. I’d become a fixture at the school trying to get it to stop. Nothing was working. It was at this point that I turned to prayer. I had prayed about… Continue reading LOVING THE ENEMY

Soon after confiding in a close friend, the battle began to turn and my friend… Continue reading MISSED BLESSINGS
A LONG DISTANCE HUG
A Long Distance Hug by T. L. Wiens I hadn’t seen him in years. Life had taken us to different geographical locations but many of our life journeys had common themes.

MISDIRECTED PRAYERS
Misdirected Prayers by T. L Wiens Our pastor announced that a missionary had lost his wallet. He asked us to pray for the immediate return of this lost, most likely stolen article. Nothing within me felt at peace as the pastor bowed his head and asked for just that. What if the wallet was gone for… Continue reading MISDIRECTED PRAYERS
