“Lord GOD, you are my hope. I have trusted you since I was a young boy. I depended on you even before I was born. I relied on you even in my mother’s womb. I have always prayed to you. You are my source of strength, so I have been an example to others.” ‭‭Psalms‬…

As I Sit: A Reflection on Grace, Growth, and God’s Faithfulness As I sat staring at my past, I reflected on my journey. I took out my pain, held it in my hand, and reviewed it from side to side, trying to understand how I survived. I looked at the times I missed the mark—the…

“Slow down. Take a deep breath. What’s the hurry? Why wear yourself out? Just what are you after anyway? But you say, ‘I can’t help it. I’m addicted to alien gods.

“If you don’t know what you’re doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You’ll get His help and won’t be condescended to when you ask for it. Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought.

Some of the things we do are automatic—no thought, no planning, just muscle memory. Muscle memory: the ability to reproduce a particular movement without conscious thought, acquired through frequent repetition. I remember when I had a bowling coach who would have me throw the ball over and over again. “Step up to the line, aim…
