Though we may not be able to see His purpose or His plan, the Lord of heaven is on His throne and in firm control of the universe and our lives.

God has the final word on your life and His word is grace.

When we're in the middle of a difficult time, we have to speak against that lie that says, "God is not here." We have to draw near to God.

If you're looking for a place with no change, try a soda machine.

Let's be the people who look at the hurting until we hurt with them. No hurrying past, turning away, or shifting of eyes. No pretending or glossing over. Let's look at the face until we see the person.

Unhappiness on earth cultivates a hunger for heaven. By gracing us with a deep dissatisfaction, God holds our attention.

That's what I'm hoping we can all do, is come together in a spirit of prayer.
