Do you have a prayer request?
I’d like to pray with for you. And I’m hoping that many others in Christ will join with me in this honored activity to make our needs known to God. He already understands and knows exactly what you need.
Each of us at one time or another has felt the [...]

A wildfire fire
sweeps over my spirit
I run, not knowing,
which way to turn,
searching for reasons,

a nightinggale without song,
Be my fulfillment, oh God
where are you?
***************
War rages within me,
a spewing [...]

If I were to think of a woman who embodied the [...]
