Don’t Look Back
The shore is wherever we feel secure, safe, in control, or successful. God beckons each of us to feel secure, safe, in control, and successful in Holy amid the widespread waters of the unseen and uncertainties. That is trust. That is love unconditional. It is only then that the adventures of something new can occur. …
Pick Up the Sword
It is easy to just pick up a sword in anger, perhaps hurt, and hurl it in all directions without thinking about your intent or objective. That is not a warrior’s strategy. That is hiding behind a curtain of unresolved feelings. A true warrior cries when hurt or pain is great, even screams out into …
Whispers of Promises
This is why it is so important to spend time alone with God. Jesus made a daily habit of going to the Father in Heaven in prayer before sun up or whenever He could get away from the crowds. In the silence, He poured His heart out, asked for strength, help, guidance, even for release …
Don’t Be Tricked
Yes, your world can be falling apart. There may be confusion. You may even buy into the enemy’s tricks for a season. The key is to not stay there forever.

Prayer Dispels Strongholds
Your pain may be physical. Your pain may be mental, emotional, or even conflicts in regard to what you really believe about God. Your pain may be addiction. Your pain may be relational. Whatever your pain is, today, it is most likely an accumulation of some or all of the above. The point is, for …

This earth encompasses every provision, protection, healing plant, strategically placed animals, magnificent beauty, and so much more than we will ever need. The earth satisfies every longing as a gift to humanity from God. Let us protect this Holy gift with all our hearts. May you …
Ask God
When fear paralyzes you, ask God for courage. Wait on His timing for it. If all you want to do is flee, ask God to quiet your mind and help you stay the course. Seek silence, solitude, and Holy signs. As anger overtakes you, sadness is not far behind. Ask God to take the fight …
