Each week my Moms in Prayer group gets together to pray for our children and their schools. There are times when I wonder if all the prayers for my children really make a difference in their lives. Sure, there are many times I’ve seen answered prayers, but does it make a difference to my children that I’m praying for them? …
There’s something about being a mom that just makes me stop and question who I am in the midst of all the chores, the caregiving, the grocery store visits, making lunches and on and on. In the day to day, what is it that keeps me going? Is it my need to check things off the list? Well, being a …
“We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” 2 Chronicles 20:12b (NIV) My son was 15 years old when our lives were shaken to the core. He was spending the night at a friend’s house a few doors down when I received a phone call that something was not right. My husband and I heard …
God invites us to watch His power and provision flow at every step on the wonderful, unpredictable, exhilarating journey of life when we live a praying life, attentive to His every whisper. This is my command— be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1: …
I spun my wheels all day. The sense that I was in a heavy yoke loomed over me. The day just didn’t come easy. And the spiritual fruit was null and void. It began with a nudge from the Lord to wake at 3am to pray. Of course, I did what a godly woman of good reputation would do (read …
Two of my favorite scriptures that I love praying for people and sharing on birthday cards are: Psalm 20:4, “May he grant your heart’s desires and make all your plans succeed.” And Psalm 21:2, “For you have given him his heart’s desire; you have withheld nothing he requested.” I believed these words, but not for me. I believed them for …
Trust the Lord completely, and don’t depend on your own knowledge. With every step you take, think about what he wants, and he will help you go the right way. Proverbs 3:5-6 (ERV) As a young girl, I felt God’s peace when I asked Him to help me with my struggles. This started my open conversation with the Lord which has been …
Fear flees when faith is activated. No matter how intimidating your circumstances appear, you don’t have to succumb to fear. You can exercise explosive faith. “The LORD said to Joshua, ‘I have given you Jericho, its king, and all its strong warriors.’” Joshua 6: 2 (NLT) As God was speaking these words, the Israelites were standing outside the fortified city …
For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 1 John 5:4 (ESV) Centuries ago, Mongolia was one of the largest land empires the world had ever seen—more expansive than even that of Alexander the Great— with some of the most savage conquerors in history! Today, with a …
We have experienced the transforming nature of prayer.

Prayer transforms us. It moves us from …
