Cared for by God
The Father’s work in us does not sleep, though in spiritual winters He retracts all advertisement. And when He does so, He is purifying our faith, strengthening our character, conserving our energy, and preparing us for the future.

Take a Stand
There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because his conscience tells him it is right.

{prayers}
Within the Waiting
Dear God, You do your best work when it seems the rest of the world isn’t watching. Within the waiting. Help me see the purpose in seasons that I don’t want to stand in, so I can declare Your goodness to all who need a fresh reminder of who You are.
Hannah Brencher
Praise God
Dear God, thank You for the life You gave to me, the joy I feel, and the love I share. Praise God, for the Lord is mine.
Calm This Life
Dear God, help me turn off the noise in my head while I pray this prayer to You. Quiet a restless heart, calm my life. I need it. You know it. Hush is the mantra that enters my brain, bringing spiritual awareness that allows me to be close to You, dear God.
God Almighty
Dear God, You are the light by which I see, a vision of love. You are with me and within me. You are life, and I live it Your way. Thank You, God almighty.
Of God
O holy One, You are not separate or apart from me. You are a part of me, and I am a part of You. You fill me with potential, and I fulfill that which You have declared my destiny. All thanks to You, my dear God.
