Everything
When I don’t have a song, You are the JOY OF MY HEART. * When people forsake me. You are the LOVE OF MY LIFE. * When my troubles overtake me, You are the PEACE OF MY SOUL. * When I am thirsty, You are the LIVING WATER. * When I am hungry, You are […]

Unkind Thoughts
Lord, Help me to stay clear of unkind thoughts toward others, but instead work on my own faults and sins. Let me not put others down, or make myself look better than I am, but instead let my mouth be a wellspring of Your Truth. Let my heart not be a pit of condemnation, but […]

Pondering on Heaven
I will be able to experience love in a completely new way. I image feeling loved to the utmost degree I ever wished for here on earth. Not even a sliver of that longing will be left unmet. Any longing I have felt here for a father’s love, a lovers love, or a friend’s love will […]

What Would Happen?
What would happen if we prayed for God to make us hungrier for Him, rather than praying for Him to fill our desires? What would happen if we begged God to show us ourselves as we truly are, rather than relying on a mirror and a scale to see if we measure up? What would […]

My Choice – My Holiness
Creation cannot help but speak of you and give you glory. You don’t have to ask it to praise you. It just does it. It does not make mistakes. It does not disappoint you. Sometimes I wish I could be like that, not so frail in my worship. You made me different. You give me […]

Light and Darkness
What is darkness? What is evil? Is darkness not the absence of light, and is evil not the absence of good? Often I wonder why evil happens, and why there is so much darkness around. I rarely ask what is the missing good in that situation, or where is the light that could prevent that […]

Marvel and Wonder
The tiniest of creature You see. You are intimately acquainted with its ways. Your speak through Your creation. You show Your ways through brilliant glimpses. In my quiet search for You, I find peace and rest. In my wonder about Your creation, I gain wisdom and understanding. In my faithful observing, I find Your miracles […]

A Matter of Direction
LORD, When I am deafened by the lying voices in my mind, Help me hear Your Truth. * When I am weary of working in my own power, Show me that I am in need of Your strength. * When I am blinded by man-made lights, Brighten my day with Your radiance. * When I […]

A Rainy Day
Reasons are many to like the day When it’s dreary and cold and rainy and grey. When rain pounds o so loud and clear, On the window, the roof, and into my ear. * I love the rain and dark dreary day, When wind and clouds do chase and play. When all the world’s troubles […]
