So much turmoil in our world. And so much of it in our own country. Anger. Revenge. Hate. Tragedy. Deception. Issues like LBGQT, transgenderism, and abortion. And the list goes on.

Be Still
One of my favorite verses. When I am upset . . . worried . . . anxious . . . this scripture reminds me to get quiet and remember He is God. He is my shelter, my defender, my father, my savior, my all. And He has everything under control.
What If?
What if this happens? What if they do that? What if I fail? What if? What if? What if? God is helping me overcome the "what if's." I have a tendency to wonder about the future and picture what I would do "if." But this is not pleasing to God. He wants me to focus …

No Wave Too Big
God is more powerful than anything in the world. He is so much greater than any adversity we may face. Any waves that threaten to crush us. But so often, even though we know in our minds that is true, we choose to doubt. We worry. We fear. We get anxious. We insist on taking …
