Finding God’s Presence ~ A Prayer to Cease Striving and Know He is God

Posted by Nan Jones | Jun 25, 2017 | Be Still and Know He is God, bible devotions online, Nan Jones author and speaker, prayer, women's ministry |

Lord, I’m so tense. Everything feels balled up in a tight knot — it’s awful! I feel like the gerbil racing inside her wheel running incessantly trying to avoid an internal explosion.

You keep speaking to me about striving…

I want to step out of the boat and walk toward You, but the waves are slapping against me. The sky is dark and threatening, and the wind howls at me with its taunts and mockery. And rather than being courageous and full of faith, I want to cover my eyes and weep and make it all go away.

Finding God’s Presence ~ Even in My Ugliness, He Loved Me Still

Wounds of the heart can grow bitterness. Ugliness. Anguish, or distress.

Or … wounds of the heart can grow good seeds of grain, crushed to produce life-giving bread to feed others. Deep faith can grow with roots steady and strong. Eyes can open to see abounding grace and the abiding presence of the Lord.

Finding God’s Presence ~ A Prayer When God’s Promises Are Needed

Posted by Nan Jones | Jun 18, 2017 | bible devotions online, God's Promises, Nan Jones author and speaker, prayer, women's ministry |

O God, You are my God! When I seek You, I will find You. When I call on Your Name, You will answer. When I bear my heart before You in prayer, You respond before the words leave my lips. Bless you Lord.

Stir up a hunger and thirst for Your Word in each of us who long to know You more. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Your Word holds the answers, for You alone are our hope.

Finding God’s Presence ~ When Life Comes in Sudden Like A Flash Flood

Posted by Nan Jones | Jun 14, 2017 | Anxiety, bible devotions online, God's Peace, Nan Jones author and speaker, women's ministry |

Like a flash flood roaring through a mountain canyon, anxiety came out of nowhere to overtake me. I was caught by surprise and taken down by its destructive power. I quickly found myself submerged in turbulent waters filled with debris from a broken heart — debris that I thought had been removed from my spirit. Debris that blocks the flow of Living Water, the well from which I find my peace.

Finding God’s Presence ~ A Prayer to Know The Holy One

Posted by Nan Jones | Jun 11, 2017 | bible devotions online, Nan Jones author and speaker, prayer, The Holy One, women's ministry |

Lord, You are the Holy One, the Almighty God, who sanctifies us … You have called us to be holy, just as You are holy, not in and of ourselves, but through the precious blood of Jesus — the Lord our Righteousness …

But then life happens and it becomes hard to be holy as You are holy and we fail You miserably Lord. Please forgive us. Please help us realize this “becoming holy as You are holy” is a journey, a process … a hard fought battle between flesh and spirit.
