Learning to Listen to God
So, I think it’s safe to say we all pray in some capacity for something, right? I would also think it’s fair to say that we are waiting for God to answer our prayers.

I want to keep talking about gratitude, where our mind is and what we are actually thankful for. We’ve talked yesterday about being intentional about looking for God in all things.

Handing Over Our Worries to God

With an admittedly sheepish prayer for strength I drove to the funeral home. To my amazem...
