My daughter in Nova Scotia is in the ICU in Truro. They think she had a stroke. She is way too young and has too many people in her life that she needs to be there for. Please lift her and her family up for Gods grace to intervene for her. Her husband is a pastor and I know they will also be praying for her and her family. Our God is still on his throne and He works miracles for us daily so I am asking for a miracle for her

Another one of the languages that we experience and express love through, is by spending quality time with one another. When we love someone we want to be with them as much as possible. A long phone call, a weekend away, anything just to be alone together.

And God is the same, with us. God is the parent with the perpetual open door, hoping we’ll come for lunch or dinner, that we’ll spend a leisurely afternoon. He has nowhere else to go, nowhere else he’d rather be. He has all the time in the world for you.

So we’re going to carve out some quiet space for that right now, for you to just be with God. To spend quality time in personal prayer with the one who loves you most.

Start by thanking God for loving you, maybe for specific ways you’ve experienced that. And then just tell God what’s on your mind these days. And finally, leave space in the silence, to “hear” God back, and sense his presence.

Rhythms of Grace

“Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.” I love that translation of this verse...

Children of God

Remind yourself that you are God’s cherished kid, and that nothing in this world can separate you from that fierce parental love. 

Guided Prayer
Blessing Each Other

Let's start to make an intentional practice of noticing people, even strangers in a crowd, but rather than comparing and judging them, pause to intentionally pray a blessing over them in your heart.
