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.

Does your life feel like a tangled mess? Is it hard to breathe with the turmoil in your heart and mind?

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.

It is in the dying that new life emerges.

God so loved the world that He sent His only Son, Jesus, that we might know Him, and love Him, and understand the essence of who He is. He sent His Son with the hope that we would believe in Him and dwell with Him throughout all eternity.

Lord, You came to shine Your glorious light into our darkness, to fill up our empty places with Your love, and to heal our broken places. Thank You. You are full of wonder and might. You are faithful and true. You are my God.

Beneath the starry sky in a field outside of town, shepherds lounged on meadow grass, resting weary bones, taking in the peaceful stillness of the night. Out of the darkness, light from a brilliant star cast a beam across the flock. Slender reeds of grass bowed in response. The sheep stopped their grazing.
