The “stuff” of life consumes us, confuses us, and clouds our perspective daily. We try to write the pages of our lives our way, but we end up with volumes of unnecessary rewrites. When we add the most important story ingredient daily, not legalistically, but with a dry, thirsty spirit, God enters, and changes us–and our story. We all need a divine appointment.
One Thing You Can Do to Heal Your Country
Everyone has an opinion today on what will help their country heal–especially when division, disaster, or election time rolls around. There are many things you can do to help. However, the most important thing you can do to bring healing, not just on the National Day of Prayer, but every day, is to pray for your country:
When Burdens Are Too Heavy, What Can You Do?
When burdens are too heavy, where do you turn? What can you do? Are you struggling with a lack of energy? Does your spirit say, “Yes!” But your body cries, “No way!” Are you tired of trying? We all carry burdens God never intended for us to carry. But the One who never grows tired or weary knows our limitations.

“I’m in LOVE.” “Let’s stay in love forever!” “Do you still love me?” “How do I know you really love me?” “I don’t know if I love you anymore.” From the moment we utter our first cry on earth, we crave love.
Will God Help You When You Don’t Know What to Pray?
Some things you never forget. The phone call in the middle of the night. The sound of heavy steps in the hallway and a door closing. The noise of a car door opening and shutting, and the hum of our Chevrolet sedan whispering the truth through my open window as our car backed out of the driveway into the street. Then silence. But sleep wouldn’t come again for a while. My eyes might try to close, but imagination would pry them open with invisible toothpicks: Who is it this time, Lord? A baby? A mother, father, teenager, child?
