I have a family member (Joanne) who has struggled the last several years with Parkinson's disease along with Alzheimer's disease. She believes in the power of prayer and together with her husband (Dave) has a sense that God will completely heal her. Please pray for perseverance and comfort for them along with the wisdom, discernment and grace to accept whatever it is God has planned for them. Thank you in advance for your prayers for them.

Imaginative Prayer | Wounded Healer

I want to invite you to close your eyes and picture your hurt – the ways you’ve experienced pain and hurt in the church, maybe generally or maybe very specifically or even recently – picture it as an actual wound on your body. 

Guided Prayer
The Lord's Prayer | A Prayer for "Us"

The Lord’s Prayer is familiar to lots of us. Maybe the one downside to memorizing scripture is that the words can become so familiar, we kind of ‘check out’ even as we’re saying them...
