When We Feel Attacked
In many cases, stuff happens because that’s the nature of things. But sometimes the devil is to blame, and I blame him for my recent misadventures.

Fixing our heart on God leads us to a safe place, a place where peace and clarity reign, a place where we find calm in chaos.
Perhaps your nighttime thoughts wander down the path of worry or fear. Maybe they take you to painful memories. If so, choose to refuse to linger there.
This God whose strength supersedes anything we can imagine is the same God who holds us in His hand. He cradles us when we’re lonely or afraid or discouraged.
Scripture tells us to “keep our focus on Jesus”. Losing that makes everything go wonky, but keeping it helps us
maintain spiritual equilibrium.
There’s no way a blog can sum up the Holy Spirit’s role and importance in a believer’s life, but it can leave us with a few nuggets on which to ponder.
It helps us focus our spiritual eyes where they belong—on the almighty, all-wise, all-powerful God who presences Himself with His people at all times.
It amazes me how different people can look at the same situation and come away with completely different perspectives.
We need to shed our comfortable Christianity and start living in a way that forces us to depend on God’s power to survive if we want to grow in our faith.
Do we speak words of truth when we see our friends making life-altering choices that guarantee a poor outcome and challenge them with the truth of God’s word
I read these Scriptures with a question in mind: What single thought grabs me? The answer: “The Lord is for me.” The statement is simple but life-altering.
No matter what circumstances you and I face–and I guarantee we will face tough stuff–we can rest assured that the Lord will care for us.
When God gives an assignment, our tendency is to say, “Who, me? I can’t do that.” Fear looms, and we offer excuses such as, “I’m not smart enough.”
How can we muster courage in the face of fear? By remembering that, no matter what happens to us, we are victors because God is the king of our lives.
“The job description fits you and Grace,” he said. “May I give IM your names?” And so began our adventure into the realm of the impossible.
Scripture tells us to be wise and not start building a house lest we’re unable to complete it, but it also says to walk by faith.
Champions one minute. Losers the next. What a ride! How can we prevent or lessen the emotional ups and downs?
To say I felt overwhelmed would be an understatement. So what kept me going? Keeping my eyes on the One who is invisible.
Once upon a time, I raced to protect my kids from danger. If they fell and scraped a knee, I could give them a kiss and fix the owie. Now I can’t do that.
Our nature feels secure when things make sense, when we can formulate plans and see how they’ll work. But God’s methods don’t fit our mould.
Yes, Gideon was a fearful guy, but thankfully he didn’t allow his fears to stop him from obeying God’s call. What swayed Gideon to “do it afraid?”
Are you facing a God-given task or dream that looks impossible? So impossible that you hesitate even mentioning it to a friend lest you look like a lunatic?
Joseph’s aha moment reinforces his understanding of God’s sovereignty over his life. It frees him from anger and bitterness and a desire for revenge.
