- Friendship
Just Be There
Job's friends sat with him in silence for seven days before saying a word, and their presence alone was a comfort. When a friend is hurting, we can spread God's grace by just comforting and loving.
- Forgiveness
Drop It
Unforgiveness is like a poison or cancer inside you, slowly eating you alive. The only way to get rid of it is to simply forgive. Drop it, leave it, let it go. That's a picture of true freedom.
- Rest
The Devil Hates Your Rest
The feeling of needing rest is usually a starving spiritual need. Rest isn't a luxury, it's a requirement. The devil thrives in our busyness. When we rest well, we become more like Jesus.
- Restoration
Always, Always Doing Us Good
You are not defined by your mistakes. God works all things together for good, our problems, hardships, addictions, and grief. He doesn't need goodness to do us good. He makes beauty from ashes.
- Addiction
A Clean Heart
We all need reconnection with God and people. Without it, we numb the pain with something else. David's prayer for a clean heart shows us the way through. Ask God for help with what triggers you.
- Healing
Straying Sheep
He bore our sins in His body on the tree, and by His wounds we are healed. Sheep don't run away all at once, they wander a little at a time. You're not too far gone for the Shepherd to find you.
- Loss
Setback, Not Defeat
How fast do you bounce back after a loss? Low faith opens the door to fear, and fear invites shame. But a setback is not a defeat. Blessed is the one who remains steadfast under trial.
- Mind
Take Every Thought Captive
Loss makes the dark thoughts show up fast. We have to take every thought captive and gauge it against God's Word. Paul told us what to think about. Ask God to help. He will.
- Gratitude
Nothing Compares
Much of what we're grateful for are things of this world. But in light of what we have in Christ, nothing compares. Nothing this world offers comes close to a personal relationship with Jesus.
- Suffering
The Sixty-Fifth Time
Sixty-five rounds of Keytruda. Plenty of days I asked God to take it away. So did Paul. God said no, then said something better: my grace is sufficient, my power is perfect in weakness.

- Fear
Don't Let the Past Dictate Your Destiny
So, I’ve been thinking lately, reflecting on the past both good and bad, and one of the things I keep coming back to is what and why I feared some of the things I’ve been through and survived and what or why would I fear what’s ahead of me. I think with the current environment we are all wonderin...
