In the times we are living in more often than not, we go through difficult situations that cause us to cry and weep. So many of us have lost jobs, some are facing illness and some have lost loved ones. When you look at what you're going through it doesn't seem like it is going to get better anytime soon. We tend to look at things through our cardinal vision instead of seeing things through our spiritual eyes, where you can see the salvation of our Lord.

Prayerlessness is a tragedy. It separates us from the absolute necessary tool that empowers us to deal with this lost world, sickness and challenges. Without it we flounder and flail about without true spiritual direction. It is also the enemy’s goal that we never figure it out.

We are complex beings created in His own image, which means that He gave us each our own mind, free will, and emotions. Our brokenness due to sin is very complex as well; sometimes our deepest hurts cannot be detected on an x-ray or through a blood test.

If you would be willing to be patient, you will be rewarded. Most of us do not see our prayers answered because we look at our situation with our time limited expectations.

When you are in the middle of a valley and you feel that everywhere you turn, the fires are blazing hot, do not lose hope; there are weapons at your disposal.

Gritty people are those that the Lord is seeking in the last days.  These people have a fire in them that is not easily quenched.  They have the determination to not accept the enemy’s story of who they are.  They refuse to give up their pens and allow the outcome to be someone else’s narrative.

The very definition of Hope is, a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. We know that there are people in this world who have long lost their ability to trust this.
