Finding God’s Presence ~ Respite From the Fears of Florence

Posted by Nan Jones | Sep 12, 2018 | bible devotions online, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker |

Chatter is in a constant stream from radios and newscasters. Emergency-management press conferences continually come across the airwaves. Universities are sending students home. Schools are closing. Folks evacuating…

All because of a hurricane named Florence — a storm of biblical proportions.

It’s scary!

Florence spins like a monstrous chainsaw cutting a path through the Atlantic ocean dead-aimed at the coast of the Carolinas. She has no respect for life. No respect for property. And just like Harvey that hit Texas last year, her plans are to stall once she comes onshore, creating catastrophic flooding from the shore to our mountains.

It looks bad, folks.

But wait a minute … I’m a child of God.

A Prayer When Heart Debris Clogs and Living Water Can’t Flow

Posted by Nan Jones | Sep 9, 2018 | bible devotions online, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker, prayer |

Lord, I know there is a river flowing straight from Your heart into mine — replenishing, renewing, sustaining. Thank You.

You, Yourself, are the Living Water.

Your Holy Spirit flows over and through and around the broken, difficult places in my heart bringing healing and refreshment for a weary soul.

Finding God’s Presence ~ Shriveled Faith and Hope Restored

Her face, drawn and dim, spoke of the suffering that wracked her body. Shoulders bent over in defeat. Eyes, familiar with the sparkle of life, glazed over — the light snuffed out. Tears trickled down cheeks that once knew the rosy blush of powder and rouge, now pale from pain.

“I can’t do this anymore,” she said. “Please don’t pray for me. There is no point. God doesn’t care. If He cared He would have taken this suffering away by now. He would have stopped me from having the surgery.”

A Prayer When It Takes All You’ve Got to Cast Your Care on Him

Posted by Nan Jones | Sep 2, 2018 | bible devotions online, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker, prayer |

Lord, Your goodness and grace sustain me. Your faithfulness undergirds me and fills me with the courage to face each day — peace to rise above what this world throws my way.

Teach me to really cast my cares on You because they are too great for me to carry.

Through Your Word, remind me who You are: my Way-Maker, Miracle-Worker, my Provider, and Protector. You are my Peace, my Strong-Tower, my Refuge, and Redeemer. You are my God and You are for me, not against me.

Finding God’s Presence ~ When Strong Headwinds Cause Us to Struggle

The sun lowered itself across the Sea of Galilee, filling the sky with ribbons of tangerine. Jesus sat on a large boulder high upon the mountain with its gentle slope ending on the water’s edge. Dust from the arid landscape kicked up from time to time and swirled at his feet.

Far below Him, the disciples rowed their boat across the sea. Their destination? Bethsaida. Jesus would join them later.
