Holy Fear - A Nighttime Prayer


1x
For the eyes of Yahweh roam throughout the earth to show Himself strong for those whose hearts are completely His.” -- 2 Chronicles 16:9

Please Pray:

Lord, at times we identify with Ben-Hur, our faces buried in dust and unable to take another step. Then you reach out and revive us again in so many ways. As the old hymn says, “All glory and praise to the Lamb that was slain, who has borne all our sins and has cleansed every stain.” We pray you revive us again this Resurrection season, so we may yet again stand in holy fear at Your presence. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.

      When God Throws a Little Bit of “All Things” in Your Life

      I love Romans 8:28. Now, let me be honest…sometimes I don’t. When I am going through a dark time of loss or disappointment, and someone throws a sloppy coat of Romans 8:28 on my open wound, I just want to scream. There. I said it. Paul wrote: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, Read more...

      What does it mean to have childlike faith?

      What do you think of when you hear the word “childlike?”For many of us, “childlike” might bring to mind something immature, foolish, or naive. Yet when Jesus talked about childlike faith, he wasn’t asking us to be any of these things. He was inviting us into something pure, trusting, and real. This week, I got to help lead worship at a kids' camp. Watching the kids worship was such a beautiful reminder of what childlike faith truly looks like. These kids worshiped, prayed, and talked about God.
