Before You Ask
Key Verse: “If a son (or daughter) asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish?” Luke 11:11 (KJV) Daughter, Ask yourself before you go and humbly ask of your God today.

My Humble Prayer for Our Nation……
Dear Heavenly Father, We are in trouble. We need your help. Our land weeps and the eagle flys low. Our flag is burned in the streets and your Holy Word is being discarded and disrespected. Lord, how did we come to this. Forgive us. Our hearts are crying out for justice, for fairness, for equality, for restoration and yes, Lord, for unity.

Key Verse: “To grant to those who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified”.” Isaiah 61:3 (ESV) A friendship I had worked hard to build burned that day.

And if I am that’s ok. I will be my own audience of one. Because Y’all I will be honest and admit that I am having a hard time processing some things right now. Things my tired eyes are seeing and my heavy ears are hearing. Hate and division is just plain hard to witness from every angle. Finger…

Adjusting My Glasses
Key verse: “No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead.” Philippians 3:13 (NLT) We had a big laugh that day driving back from Walmart. The sun was brightly shining when we had left the store so I had put on my sunglasses. The storm had seemed to come out of nowhere and the sky turned dark within minutes. I kept telling my mom that I couldn’t see anything and that I might have to pull over. Then it finally dawned on me that the reason everything seemed so dark wasn’t just…
