Have you ever heard someone speak about a big or specific prayer that they witnessed God answer?

With Good Will
I was struggling a bit in my mind, no doubt a spiritual battle. Satan wants us to think about and act negatively toward our spouses. When praying and looking at Scripture, God gave me this reminder. I am sure I’m not the only one that needs it. Webster’s 1828 dictionary explains good will as being… Continue reading With Good Will
Be like Hur
Exodus 17:8-16 “Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim. And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.

How’s Your Walk?
We hear many things referring to our spiritual walk. Usually, this refers to your daily walk or daily devotions. We are encouraged to be consistent in this area, and I agree that we should be. However, Scripture has a lot to say about our walk. Galatians 5:16 says, “This I say then, Walk in the… Continue reading How’s Your Walk?

Scripture teaches about fasting and even gives us different examples of what that may look like. In Daniel we see Daniel and the other three young men fasting from the food and drink… Continue reading Prayer & Fasting
When You Don’t Know What to Say
Have you ever felt like you should pray or praise in a more specific way, but you couldn’t find the words? It seems like our words aren’t enough sometimes. Can we really praise God for all that He is and does when we can’t even wrap our minds around all He is or does? So… Continue reading When You Don’t Know What to Say
Is Anything Too Small?
We often say, “Is there anything too big (or hard) for God?” We know the answer is “No.” Nothing is greater than our God and this truth brings us much comfort and encouragement. However, I feel like we never think of the opposite. Is anything too small for God? Things we don’t think are significant. … Continue reading Is Anything Too Small?
For the Stay at Home Mama
I see you, mama. The same routine day after day. Constant cleaning, sibling fights, and endless requests. I mean honestly. How many snacks can these kids possibly want in a day?! Has today been hard? Are you steadily counting down until bedtime because you are exhausted? Do you feel stuck, wondering if what you are… Continue reading For the Stay at Home Mama
A Hard Truth
Most of us want others to be honest with us in all situations. At least that is what we say. What about when the truth is hard? Life-changing? Some truths are easier to hear and accept than others. However, if the truth is truth, then it is always what we need to hear. One of… Continue reading A Hard Truth
