When We Need Immediate Spiritual Help
God never leaves us floundering when trials come our way. He comes alongside and lends us His almighty hand. That’s what the word “helps” means in Romans 8:26

Watching my two-year-old granddaughter engage in a church service helped me understand what it means to imitate God. Watching her made my heart smile.
Most of what we know about love is based on what we’ve experienced, and those experiences aren’t always the best teachers.
Every member of Christ’s Body benefits when we discover, develop, and use our gifts. But the opposite is also true: the Body suffers when we fail to use them.
When bad news comes our way, we needn’t cave into fear. As followers of Jesus Christ, we belong to the living God for whom nothing is impossible.
Storms will come and go. God’s promises help us navigate the wind and waves to a safe harbor. We can trust Him and not be afraid.
Every challenge we face forces us to make a choice. Will we choose to trust our doubting selves? Or choose to trust a God who is faithful, wise, and good?
Changing the way we think means identifying the lies and replacing them with the Truth. As our thoughts align with God’s, our behavior changes as well.
God has purposes yet unseen for our lives, too. Every one of the hardships we experience are part of the pruning and honing necessary to prepare us.
If we take Jesus seriously, then we can rest assured that trusting in God is the better way to respond. Here are five good reasons for choosing that better way.
Life is really hard sometimes. But suffering is temporary. Let’s neither run from it nor resist it because it refines us and strengthens our faith.
Our role in our relationship with Him is to tune our ear to listen so we can hear it above the din of so many other voices calling for our attention.
Keep your minds focused on the Truth as we ride out the storm. None of this has taken the Lord by surprise. He sees us and He prays for us.
Life with its uncertainties can feel scary at times, but I hang onto hope by focusing on God’s promises, His faithfulness, and His sovereignty.
Every hardship we experience is part of the pruning and honing necessary to prepare us. They also make us more like Jesus no matter what our destiny is.
If you don’t already practice hospitality, I encourage you to do so. And, keep it simple. The more complicated we make it, the less likely we are to do it
Everything Satan whispers or shouts is a lie because he’s a liar. We needn’t give him one ounce of attention. Rather, let’s fill our minds with the truth.
Our beliefs turn us to God for help and to trust that He knows our concerns and hears our cries. We pray in faith believing His answer is the best answer.
God is all about our becoming new creatures, and that happens when He changes our minds, bringing our thoughts into alignment with His.
Pride, envy, jealousy, misplaced priorities ~ they’re all unwanted chains. But Jesus came to snap them. Are you living from that truth today?
Changing the way we think means identifying the lies and replacing them with the Truth. But knowing it isn’t enough; we must apply it too.
If the Spirit controls our thoughts, we learn to establish healthy boundaries. We experience the freedom of forgiveness and the joy of life and peace.
Taking delight in honoring others is a principle our world seems to have forgotten. And it begins at home with the little things – like saying thank you.
Our thoughts can hinder our potential, our health, and our relationships, but it needn’t be that way. We can enjoy freedom characterized by life and peace.
Today a new leadership has been established in the United States. Your Word says that You ordain authorities and rulers, so we trust Your choice (Romans 13:1).
Imagine with me, Jesus kneeling before His disciples and washing their dusty feet. He knew His most difficult hour was coming. But still He demonstrated love.
Who doesn’t want to be liked by others? Who doesn’t want to find favor and approval in the eyes of man? I do. And It can become our driving force.
Christ invested His life in us. You know what that says? He considers us a treasure. He highly values us. He’d never consider us a cast-off.
I routinely meet women who express fear for their family’s well-being. I’ve been there, done that. And I continue to face it even though my kids are now adults.
As Christ’s followers, we don’t barely survive our trials. We overwhelmingly overcome them like David overcame Goliath because of the power of Christ in us.
Understanding these motivational gifts–their weaknesses and their strengths alike–helps us better understand our spouse, our kids, and our coworkers.
God has equipped every believer with at least one motivational gift, and using that gift makes us most effective and brings the greatest personal fulfillment.
