A dear older friend who lives alone told me recently that she’s never really alone, because she can talk to God anytime she wants. What a precious reminder that God is always with us. One of God’s names is Emmanuel, which means “God with us.”
If you feel alone today, please talk to God. Have faith that He is with you, that He loves you, and is listening.
“When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.”– Psalm 94:19
Jesus said, in this world we would have troubles. He didn’t promise to take us out of this world, or to take away our problems, but He did promise to walk with us through every valley, to catch every tear, and to comfort, guide, and help us as we trust in His Word.
When troubles come and you’re feeling anxious and afraid, talk to God. It’s not wasted words, like talking into the air. He’s really there. You gotta believe… have faith that He’s with you, listening, caring, consoling.
When anxiety is great within you, let God be your consolation and restore your peace and joy!

Sometimes thoughts come to remind us of past hurts. Those thoughts sneak in unannounced, and are unwelcome. Immediately our gaze lowers, our heart aches. Dear friends, this does not have to be… Continue reading “When The Past Still Hurts”

This quote by President Abraham Lincoln reminds us of that. It’s part of a proclamation he made to the nation, asking everyone to humble ourselves, confess our national sins, and pray for clemency and forgiveness. I believe his proclamation is still relevant today.

“How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness.” –James 3:5-6
The tongue has set fire to our nation, politically, spiritually, and in almost every other way. It’s ravaging our land, our communities, and our homes, and all hands are needed on deck to stop it . . . before it’s too late!
