Today’s blog is an excerpt from my book, Keeping Hope Alive: Devotions for Strength in the Storm. May it encourage you when you’re at a loss about how to pray.
How often do we look at our circumstances, assume we know everything there is to know about them, and fall into discouragement or fear?
God is with you, my friend. His presence will never leave your side. You don’t face your challenges alone, nor do you face them in your own strength.
How do we respond to suffering? Do we get angry or fall into self-pity? Or do we allow God to use our pain to refine us and make us more like Jesus?
Jesus is all about setting us free from bondage. There are no cookie-cutter answers for our tough issues, but He is more than willing and able to help us.
I enter 2016 with expectancy. How might God choose to use me in new ways? And how might He interrupt my safe and comfortable routine to accomplish His purposes?
Living big lives requires the courage to say yes at whatever God assigns. We trust His sovereignty, wisdom, and love enough to agree with His terms.

That desire will come true as I spend private time in His presence every day, and as I practice His presence throughout each day.
Sometimes it’s way too easy to grow complacent. The little boy’s excitement about E.T.’s revival puts my enthusiasm about my Savior’s resurrection to shame
Busyness consumes us, and we go on our own merry way without a second thought toward the Giver of every good and perfect gift.

We yearn for peace, especially when evil happens as it did this week in Boston. Is peace possible? Yes. By admitting that we need God’s help.
How can we be truly radiant without spending billions on skin care products and the like?
How can we say “Whatever” to God when the going gets tough? Read on to learn what I’ve discovered in the past days and weeks.
Jesus alone grants us true peace in the midst of chaos. Granted, there are specific steps we can take to promote peace in our lives, but He is the foundation.
I long to be at the right place at the right time, recognizing those who need encouragement in some way, and knowing exactly what to say.
What manmade monuments might be captivating us? Let’s be sure to keep our focus not on what’s temporal and will be demolished someday, but on what’s eternal!
