Prayer pushes us through life's slumps, propels us over the humps and pulls us out of the dumps. Prayer is the oomph we need to get the answers we seek.

God has a timeline. And because of Bethlehem, we have an idea where we stand on it.

No place is too common. No person is too hardened. No distance is too far. There's no person God cannot reach. There's no limit to his love.

God grants us an uncommon life to the degree we surrender our common one.

The presence of fear does not mean you have no faith. Fear visits everyone. But make your fear a visitor and not a resident.

You are valuable because you exist. Not because of what you do or what you have done - but simply because you are.

God is always near us. Always for us. Always in us.
