31 Spiritual Warfare Scriptures: Help for Facing Life’s Battles

June 28, 2016 by Debbie 30 Comments

We're in a battle in this world. We may not see it, we might forget it's there. But the enemy would love nothing more than to fill our minds with discouragement and defeat, bringing fear and stress. Don't let him win.

For the One Who Feels Alone: Hope from the God Who Sees

June 20, 2016 by Debbie 6 Comments

Whether we realize it or not, we rub shoulders every day with people who are desperate, hurting, or lonely. Sometimes we notice, but many times we don’t. We might be too busy, preoccupied, or overwhelmed ourselves. And honestly, many days, “we” are those people...the desperate, the hurting, the lonely. Just needing someone to notice. To take time. We may never truly know what those who … [Read more...] about For the One Who Feels Alone: Hope from the God Who Sees

2 Comforting Words in the Midst of Tragedy: Prayer for Those Who Are Hurting

June 12, 2016 by Debbie 3 Comments

Sometimes in this crazy, mixed up world, when our hearts are grieving and we've suffered devastating blows, when loss feels too deep, and the battle seems fierce, the most comforting words of all are just these 2: "Jesus wept." John 11:35 The shortest verse in the Bible, yet one that holds such great power.

20 Verses of Rest and Peace for Your Summer

June 11, 2016 by Debbie 16 Comments

I love the months of summer and most times, am not ready for them to end. You may relate too. Time away with family and friends…laid back days…staying up late…catching up on things we’ve wanted to do all year…a much-needed break from the busy lives that we so often lead. But as much as we love the days of summer, fun vacations, and the times that rest and relaxation with those we love can bring, … [Read more...] about 20 Verses of Rest and Peace for Your Summer

When We’ve Lost Our Hope: Jesus Is the Answer

June 6, 2016 by Debbie 13 Comments

Recently in a Bible Study, we talked about this story from Acts 3, when Peter healed the crippled man who sat beside the Gate called Beautiful. And ever since then, I've kept thinking of it again and again. It seems to be such a personal reminder. Because at times in life, we can all possibly relate to this man who sat by the gate. Maybe because there have been times when we too have … [Read more...] about When We’ve Lost Our Hope: Jesus Is the Answer

Thoughts for When You Really Don’t Feel Like Going to Church

June 5, 2016 by Debbie 4 Comments

It was a Sunday morning a few years back. I had a headache. I really didn't feel like going to church that day. I thought of all the reasons it would have been nicer and more convenient to just stay home. I pressed through, got there, but not with a very "worshipful" attitude.
