Who Holds Your Mirror?

Let’s visualize for a moment each of us are standing in front of a mirror. Since we are made in His image, God is holding each mirror. When we sin it’s like streaks on a mirror. You know the ones – they are stubborn, you can’t quite see any clear image because they are in the way. They take a little more work to wipe away. You may think it’s gone but then you look from a different angle and see the same imperfection or a new one comes seemingly from nowhere.

Gracious Lord, As born again believers, You call us to examine ourselves. And right now I confess there are things and ways that I have not honored You. In my family, on my job, with my friends, in all my roles and responsibilities I want to honor You, God. I know there are specific behaviorsContinue reading “Thank you God for Your grace”

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Matthew 6:33, ESV As a young child, if you asked anyone I was going to be a rockstar. I wrote songs. I sang and played piano and I was not afraid of performing in front of audiences. As aContinue reading “God’s Will”

A Prayer of Healing

Lord Jesus, I want to be whole. I desire to be healthy and spiritually mature.  Search me. Show me where I need to be healed. Show me where I need restoration. Help me identify the wounds in my past that I need to revisit for the purpose of giving them over to you. Show meContinue reading “A Prayer of Healing”
