  • He Develops Wisdom Thru Prayer

    Wisdom is more than intellectual discernment or logic; it comes from the heart and soul. With wisdom, I look beyond appearances and perceive the divine potential inherent within every circumstance and every person, including myself.

    Through my prayer practice, I develop and strengthen my ability to make wise choices. I connect with Source and open my heart and mind to possibilities I did not recognize before. A daily connection with my divine nature helps me listen deeply, see clearly, choose wisely, and advance joyfully. From within the sweet silence of prayer, new possibilities arise and my capacity for wise discernment grows.

    “You desire truth in the inward being; therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.”
    —Psalm 51:6


    From Pastor Willis J. Ferrell of Danville Virginia ( The Redemption Center Church )

  • Fear Not

    “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.“

    – Isaiah 41:10

  • Gratitude song by Brandon Lake

    I love this song by Brandon Lake called Gratitude! Here are the lyrics:

    All my words fall short
    I got nothing new
    How could I express
    All my gratitude?


    I could sing these songs
    As I often do
    But every song must end
    And You never do


    So I throw up my hands
    And praise You again and again
    ‘Cause all that I have is a hallelujah
    Hallelujah


    And I know it’s not much
    But I’ve nothing else fit for a King
    Except for a heart singing hallelujah
    Hallelujah


    I’ve got one response
    I’ve got just one move
    With my arm stretched wide
    I will worship You
    So I throw up my hands
    And praise You again and again
    ‘Cause all that I have is a hallelujah
    Hallelujah


    And I know it’s not much
    But I’ve nothing else fit for a King
    Except for a heart singing hallelujah
    Hallelujah


    So come on, my soul
    Oh, don’t you get shy on me
    Lift up your song
    ‘Cause you’ve got a lion inside of those lungs


    Get up and praise the Lord
    Oh, come on, my soul
    Oh, don’t you get shy on me
    Lift up your song
    ‘Cause you’ve got a lion inside of those lungs


    Get up and praise the Lord
    Come on, my soul
    Oh, don’t you get shy on me
    Lift up your song
    ‘Cause you’ve got a lion inside of those lungs

    Get up and praise the Lord, hey


    Praise the Lord
    Praise the Lord
    Praise the Lord


    So I throw up my hands
    Praise You again and again
    ‘Cause all that I have is a hallelujah
    Hallelujah


    And I know it’s not much
    But I’ve nothing else fit for a King
    Except for a heart singing hallelujah
    Hallelujah

  • Gratitude. Prayer of Thanks

  • True Healing & Prayer

    True healing takes place with God’s help. Our family has been thru so much these past few years and without a doubt we know God heals. God is with us. God is good. God loves us. God doesn’t leave us.

    We have intentionally asked God to guide us thru healing processes over and over and we’ve continued to make it thru. It’s not easy but we are still here and still looking up.

    Prayer is our go-to every single time pain happens to us. When pain occurs…we pray. When we feel fear…we pray. When times are tuff…we pray.

    Our family understands the power of PRAYER because we’ve seen first hand how it works when seemingly nothing else can.

    Prayer leads to true healing.

  • God is Good

    God has been with my wife this past week making major legal decisions about past trauma. Someone hurt her for many years as a minor and she’s been so courageous holding him accountable. Every step of the way this past year she and I have prayed about every single detail. We’ve trusted God to guide us and give us wisdom. My wife has prayed for courage and strength and I’ve prayed the same for her.

    God has given her a tremendous amount of support and a wonderful team of prosecutors and investigators to have her back and show her she’s not alone.

    I truly believe she could not have made it this far without God. Prayer works.

    Praying has reinforced every decision and provided strength to each word and action she’s had to make.

    God is good.
