A Prayer When You Want to Climb Out of the Pit

Posted by Nan Jones | Aug 5, 2018 | bible devotions online, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker, prayer |

Lord, thank You for hearing us when we cry out to You. Your mercy is great; Your love amazing. We praise You Lord for You alone are worthy of our praise. You are a great God. Thank You for calling us Your own.

Each day comes with its own challenges and sometimes the challenges come to us like rapid fire. And sometimes we don’t dodge quick enough and we get hit, knocked to our knees, face in the sand.

And we don’t like it.

In fact, we get tired in the fight.

A Prayer When You Don’t Know Which Way to Go

Posted by Nan Jones | Jul 29, 2018 | bible devotions online, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker, prayer |

Lord, You are my way, my truth, my life. You Are.

The closer I walk with You, the easier I find my way because my eyes are opened to see You leading, my heart is awakened to recognize You, and my ears are opened to hear You saying, “This is the way, walk in it.” Thank You, Lord

You make it sound so simple in Your instruction, and I suppose it is, but for us it gets muddy and complicated quite easily!

Why is that Lord?

Finding God’s Presence ~ Scars Reveal Deep Pain Healed by God’s Grace

Posted by Nan Jones | Jul 25, 2018 | bible devotions online, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker |

The quiet mountain backroad provided safe adventure for skateboarders — my grandson included. No traffic. Perfect curves. Gentle slopes. And a great hill near the end of the road where speed increased as the hill lengthened.

Jamison worked his skateboard magic along this road often.

One day the magic was interrupted.

Nearing the end of the big hill, Jamison encountered gravel that had washed from a driveway during a recent rain. He didn’t anticipate the hazard and wiped out at full speed. Flesh careened across gravel and pavement. Knees, belly, and face displayed evidence of the angry encounter.

He gradually healed, but the scars remain.

And the scars tell his story, especially the part where he picked himself up, overcame his fear, and conquered that hill once again.

A Prayer When You Need Your Redeemer God

Posted by Nan Jones | Jul 22, 2018 | bible devotions online, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker, prayer |

Lord, You are who You say You are. You do what You say You will do. How thankful I am that I can press in and depend upon these truths.

That knowledge calms me and gives me peace.

That knowledge takes my restless thoughts and quenches my fear.

Thank You Lord.

I love how You are teaching me that, not only are You my Savior, but You are my Redeemer God. I’ve known that for awhile, but now I’m beginning to get it in my knower. You truly do redeem all that is lost as we yield ourselves to Your authority — not just our souls … but our thoughts, our hearts, and our wills.

Finding God’s Presence ~ When Morningsong Broke Through the Silence

Posted by Nan Jones | Jul 18, 2018 | bible devotions online, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker |

I woke early this morning. Grabbing a cup of coffee, I wandered to the couch, sat curled up on the end, and enjoyed a gentle refreshing breeze coming through the open window.

The light of dawn broke through the dark of night.

Morningsong broke through the silence.

Birds.

A delight of my heart.

None were visible, but all were heard.
