PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• Today is my son’s 21st birthday. Once upon a time, during what I call “The Invasion of the Body Snatcher Years,” I foolishly thought that I’d stop worrying about him once he was an adult.

Because … Continue reading 1.19.19 Praise & Prayer Prompt: Endurance & Encouragement
PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• Romans 2:13 says, “For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.” To be honest, I have avoided writing on this kind of Scripture.

PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• One of my favorite Bible verses (I have a lot of them!) is James 1:5, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” I love that we can pray for wisdom.

PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• I love reminders to lean on God’s strength. I need Him as much on my best day as I do on my worst.
