Praying God’s Word
Peace can be possible in any situation, but we cannot produce it on demand. It is a Fruit of the Spirit. God of hope, please fill me with all joy and peace as I trust in You, so that I may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Rom. 15:13). Let meContinue reading “Praying God’s Word”
Praying God’s Word
Expose your heart one more time … just to Jesus. After all, this is what his father sent him to do. Lord, according to Your Word, what a man desires or craves deeply is unfailing love (Prov. 19:22).

Praying God’s Word
It is for freedom Christ has set us free. The question is whether or not we are ready to prepare the way for our liberator.

Something Old, Something New
Thousands of people have prayed for Sarah Walton. Most of whom she has never met. In the past ten years, Walton, the best-selling coauthor of Hope When It Hurts, has suffered through chronic illness, multiple surgeries for a debilitating foot injury, financial stress stemming from her husband’s job loss, and a cross-country move with fourContinue reading “Something Old, Something New”
Beware the Listening Prayer
The Bible speaks often of prayer, but it does not mention “listening prayer” as a type of prayer to practice. The idea of “listening prayer” is to spend some time talking to the Lord and the rest of the time listening to His response. Or, sometimes, the listening comes first and the prayer second. ListeningContinue reading “Beware the Listening Prayer”
