Prayer blog posts for Christian women.
When You Need to Let Go was written for all the mamas on the sideline watching their children grow and learning to let go. This new season of watching my little boy (he will always be my little boy) grow into an independent adult has been hard on this mama’s heart. We’ve gone from assisting…
I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm – neither hot nor cold- I am about to spit you out of my mouth. Revelation 3: 15-16 (NIV) It has been said ad nauseam from one well-meaning Christian to…
I’ve learned some things about prayer over the last year or so. I’ve always been around prayer, always had talks with God, and over the years my own prayers have changed and grown. But what I’ve learned more recently is more about what we think prayer should look like versus what God wants it to…
Originally, I was going to title this post, “How to Pray Bold Prayers,” not because I pray boldly, but because I thought it’s how we “should” pray. And we are called to be bold in our Christian walk, but lately God has been showing me that there is nothing wrong with simple prayers. Last year…
I don’t know about you, but lately, I have been feeling weary. Our world today is seemingly filled with conflicts all around; how do we respond to this constant onslaught of crises? How are we to move forward in such an unstable world? My instinct is to pray. I know that I can’t do much…
My prayer life hasn’t been that stellar lately. Non-existent might be a better word for it. So today, I wanted to offer you some advice: Don’t stop praying… you know, like I did. My life has been pretty chaotic lately. From the passing of my grandmother, to the graduation of my son, it seems like…
I’m a mess. Between my oldest son leaving for the army and his younger brother graduating high school, it seems like all I do is cry. Life transitions are hard. Like, really hard. Whether you have a graduate or are starting a new job, life transitions impact your life in more ways than one. No…
You’re a Christian but maybe you’re not and you’re reading this. It’s okay. It’s for you too. Prayer is one of the fundamental principles of your faith and of life. People pray. There are untold sermons, books and more about prayer and how to do it. But, what if your praying is just hard. What…
Want to know a secret? Sometimes I struggle with feeling like prayer is boring. It almost seems blasphemous, and at the very least doesn’t feel like something a good Christian girl should say. I co-host a podcast about prayer, so prayer is obviously something I feel passionate about. But although I have seasons in my…
3 Things to Remember When Prayers Seem Unanswered The word of the Lord seems pretty clear on the subject of prayer, right? We pray, God hears us, and we get answers to those prayers. Well… maybe. But what do you do when you read the word of God and you expect an answer that you…
We recently lost a beloved family pet. He was a bearded dragon named Chewbacca, “Chewie” for short, after the Star Wars character. He wasn’t hairy and didn’t make any cool noises like his namesake, but he was a lot of fun. The kids made obstacle courses for him, carried him around on their shoulders and…
A few underclass band students softly played “Pomp and Circumstance” as I joined the crowd of nervous parents and beaming grandparents filling the bleachers. The high school graduation planning committee spent countless painstaking hours putting together a lovely slideshow for us to enjoy until our young-adult children filed in to grace the matrix of folding…
