When God Races Upon the Wind to Save His Child

As I peered out the window toward the setting sun, the wall of clouds darkened, shadowed by the twilight. The wind began to rise. There was a surging now — an urgency — like dust billowing and swirling around stampeding hooves.

I could sense God’s Presence. His protective watchcare. Even with trepidation building in my heart, I knew I was not alone. God was with me just as He has been with me through the storms of brokenness that swirl and billow across my weary spirit.

Lord, Help Me Cast My Burdens On You

Lord, I hear You calling me to cast — to toss … throw — my burdens on You because You care for me and will sustain me during these difficult days. Thank You Lord. I believe You. Help me with my unbelief. My stubbornness. My pride. Help me to completely surrender to Your voice & run to You in my time of need.

How May I Be a Giver of God’s Love in 2017?

I pray for those who feel stagnant in their purposes — weary in their well-doings. Empower them with a fresh anointing of Your sweet Holy Spirit. Unleash Your power and strength within them. Give them boldness to serve, courage to follow You, and compassion to love those who we think least deserve it.

Help us love with unconditional and complete love. Regardless. Help us love like Jesus — sacrificially, purely, and consistently from a place of total abandon to You. We want to represent You well — to be Your hands and feet, Your voice. We want to be a giver of Your love.

The Fragrance of Life Emerges From the Broken Places

Life began to stir. Slow at first. Gentle. An awakening — a response to the appointed time. An embryo of wheat began its growth and pressed against the seed wall, breaking it and bursting through.

It is in the dying that new life emerges.
