Fight Despair With Prayer
We must fight despair with prayer. This spiritual battle requires disciplines, like talking to God instead of listening to our self-talk, which can be deceptively untrue. . .
Discipline
Don’t Treat God’s Grace Lightly
Many Christians live as if God imposes no standards: we have freedom in Christ, and God is all about grace. Yes, but we must not treat God’s grace lightly. . .
Concentrate on Him
So many things try to snatch our attention from the Lord. They could be worthwhile or necessary, but if they aren’t what God wants us to focus on, we need to ignore them. . .
Saying Grace
Do you ask a blessing over your food when you eat in a public place? Is it a sin not to pray before eating? Probably not. But it is certainly honoring God to do it. . .
What Is Filling Your Ears?
What is filling your ears, penetrating your heart, and affecting your mood? Challenge yourself this month to increase the amount of time you spend listening to Christian music. . .
Rainfall on Dry Land
There are times when our spiritual walk feels like a desert. There are few signs of life or progress, and things are dry and brown. But God is our restorer and rainfall on dry land. . .
Spiritual Heart Health
Many women eat right, work out at the gym, count calories and carbs, and go for annual check-ups. How ironic, then, that so many fail to stay on top of their spiritual heart health. . .
The Proverbs 31 Woman
The Proverbs 31 woman puts Wonder Woman to shame. Reading about her day can make us feel overwhelmed, discouraged by our inadequacies. But God doesn’t place the bar so high. . .
Spiritual Health
One of the components of an effective exercise regime is the development of core strength. The same is true for our spiritual core muscles. A strong spiritual core will help you remain stable. . .
Whatever It is, Do It for the Lord
God’s Word tells us to be work enthusiastically for the Lord. Even when our work doesn’t seem important, it is never useless when we are doing it for Him. . .
