    Surrounded – Michael W. Smith

    Praise wins battles! What are you battling today? Hurt? Anxiety? Addictive behaviour? This simple song reminds us that when we feel overwhelmed by our enemy, God is with us. He surrounds and protects us. As we praise Him, He fights for us. “…Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the Lord and to praise him for the splendour…

  • 1 John 1:9

    1 John 1:9

    “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9 Father God, I’m sorry that sometimes I have tried to hide my bad choices from You and even from myself. Thank You for this promise which means even if I…

  • You Can’t Run The World

    You Can’t Run The World

    I’m currently enjoying and recommend “Anxious for Nothing” by Max Lucado. Max writes, “You can’t run the world, but you can entrust it to God… Rather than rehearse the chaos of the world, rejoice in the Lord’s sovereignty…” “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all.…

  • Romans 8:38-39

    Romans 8:38-39

    “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Father God, Thank You for telling me…

    Re-frame The Past

    This blog is a personal example of finding freedom from fear. Some years ago, I went through a significant time of persistent hurt. Praise God, the situation changed, and I’ve healed greatly from it. However, even years on, I have carried fear of it happening again. Perhaps past hurts have left you with fear too?…

  • 2 Timothy 4:17

    2 Timothy 4:17

    “But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength” 2 Timothy 4:17a Father, Thank You that when life is unfair, You see. When people abandon me, You don’t. Thank You for standing at my side and giving me strength. Amen.

  • Strong Enough – Matthew West

    Strong Enough – Matthew West

    There have been many times in my life when I’ve not felt strong enough to cope with what life was throwing at me – in my personal life and in ministry. Yet, God powerfully helped me through. What about you? This song is a prayer that the Lord would help you and I to be strong…

  • Trust Is A Choice

    Trust Is A Choice

    Trusting in our own thoughts and feelings, or trusting worldly wisdom trips us up. In whom are you putting your trust?  “The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does.”Psalm 145:13b

  • God’s Masterpiece

    God’s Masterpiece

    When you doubt your worth, remember God values you. He designed you, knows you, and has a purpose for you. The New Living Translation says you are “God’s masterpiece”. God created you with great skill and care to be you! “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in…

    A Newt

    Is it easy for something to knock your mood? What is it that tips you from feeling up to feeling down? I used to be ‘up and down’ depending on how I perceived life to be going. When something went well, I’d feel content; when I made a mistake, I’d feel like a total failure.…
