We’ve all had trials in our lives, tough times where a lot of us have probably asked…why me? Why is this happening to me?? Or, why is this happening to the person that I love? I know I have asked that of God many times in my life. We tend, as humans, to focus on…

One thing I know about the human condition…every one of us wants to be seen. Heard. Fully known. And sometimes, maybe we don’t feel those things. We feel unseen. We feel like no one understands us or wants to hear what’s really going on in our heart of hearts. It’s a longing that we have,…

“BUT, I have trusted in Your faithful love; my heart will rejoice in Your deliverance. I will sing to the Lord because He has treated me generously.” Psalm 13:5-6 Why do these verses of praise start with a “but”? Before the Psalmist gets to the praise, some wrestling was going on. I get that. I…

I’ve been forgetting to look up lately. This morning on my run, listening to a song about God’s faithfulness, I looked up and the sky was stunning. I had to stop and take a picture…even though pictures never do the real thing justice. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims…

It’s a battle down here, Father. I’m feeling anxious. I feel like I’m always battling. Things seen, things unseen, it feels like a constant struggle just to exist. You say rest and trust. Why is it so hard sometimes? When I focus on Truth I see clearly that I can rest and stop striving when…

I normally do really intense and in-depth studies of God’s Word…if you’ve been in one of my small groups, you know this to be true. But lately, I keep sitting down at the table to where my Bible is flipped open in the Psalms and don’t get any further. I’ve been rubbing the Psalms in…
