God’s Voice
God, I long to hear your voice. I long to hear what you are speaking to my heart, and to go to all of the places that you are leading me. I long to serve you and to be undistracted and unhindered by the voices of others. I long to quiet my own mind andContinue reading “God’s Voice”

An honest prayer to God, when times seem uncertain.
This is a prayer I wrote in my journal recently. I am believing God to provide me with another job, and I am sure I am not the only one who has this prayer. I hope this prayer reminds you that you are not alone, and I hope it encourages you to trust in theContinue reading “An honest prayer to God, when times seem uncertain.”
What will you say?
What will you say to yourself when there is no one there to encourage you? What will you say when you feel all alone and want to give up on everything you are working so hard for?
