Pray for Transformation
When you think of people who seem too far from God, don’t rule them out but boldly pray for transformation—that they will witness firsthand the beautiful reach of God’s mercy. . .

When you think of people who seem too far from God, don’t rule them out but boldly pray for transformation—that they will witness firsthand the beautiful reach of God’s mercy. . .
Nothing is wasted, not your victories and hard work, your sins or pain or attacks from others. He fashions every part of your life for your good and His glory. . .
Endurance in trials comes not from an immediate alleviation of your circumstances but the expectation that you will see the character of the One who holds you fast. . .
As tempting as it is to put on a brave front and swallow your pain, don’t withhold your lament from the Lord. . .
If God has something for you to do, what’s going to stop you? No one and nothing can stop what the Lord has planned for you to do to glorify Him. . .
Though you are used to the changeability of everything on this earth, the light of the Lord does not fade, and what a promise that is!
Maybe pain is running rampant in your life or you are looking at what’s happening in the world and wondering where God even is. But He’s here, and He’s powerful. . .
You may feel powerless when you see the brokenness in your community, but you are not; God has given you His Spirit to empower your work in His plan to restore the world. . .
Relying on anything for security apart from God never ends well. . .and it puts distance between you and Him. Where is fear steering your way?
Whether it’s fabric arts, visual arts, music, baking, gardening, dancing, running, writing, or something else, God loves it when you are creative—since you are made in His image, the Creator made you to be a maker!
