Evening Prayers
Thank you heavenly Father for bringing me through this day and into this quiet moment in the dark of the evening when I can rest in stillness and peace and know that you are God – knowing that you are with me. Lord, as I sit in my chair in the quiet darkness of my […]
Morning Prayer
Lord, as I awake this morning, I rejoice that you greet me with your mercies – thank you for your mercy Lord that does not give me what I deserve but instead your gracious response gives me what I do not deserve – your presence, your provision, your peace, and your purpose. Help me Lord […]
This little light of mine…
““You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” (Matthew 5:14, ESV) Jesus lights up our lives like nothing else in all the world can ever do. (if your life is not lit up with Christ, check your batteries- the Holy Spirit is the real energizer). When we […]

It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.” (Matthew 5:13, ESV) Salt is for seasoning, for preserving and for healing.
