Dear Praying Friends, At the beginning of this year, the Lord was reminding me to “wait and “watch.” I don’t know about you, but some days the “noise” all around is a bit overwhelming for me. The president of the National Day of Prayer Task wrote a devotional last week and I was encouraged toContinue reading “Show Us Your Glory, Lord… July 1,2025…Keeping Close”

Dear Praying Friends, As we turn the page on a new month, our Nation celebrates its birthday. Many of us have been concerned about the state of our Nation and it is so important that we continue to pray for the United States of America. Jesus taught us to pray “Your kingdom come, Your willContinue reading “Show Us Your Glory, Lord… June 30,2025…Keeping Close”

Dear Praying Friends, I have been thinking a lot about Pentecost this week. A brief explanation of Pentecost from Christianity.com reads:   Pentecost is a Jewish feast that has been celebrated since the Old Testament, being called the Feast of Harvest or the Feast of Weeks in Jewish tradition. It is mentioned in five places in the firstContinue reading “Show Us Your Glory, Lord… June 27,2025…Keeping Close”

Dear Praying Friends, I was leading a prayer group using Psalm 23 as our theme and pointed out my insight: Psalm 23 is about RELATIONSHIP. As I have been praying about always welcoming the presence of Christ in my life, I recognize that welcoming Him means RELATIONSHIP. Let’s keep praying through Luke 9 today andContinue reading “Show Us Your Glory, Lord… June 26,2025…Keeping Close”

Dear Praying Friends, This week I spent several hours worshipping and praying in a cathedral in my town that was built beginning in 1892. One of the key people in its building had brought Christianity to our town many years before when this was a lawless western town. As I was praying, I was readingContinue reading “Show Us Your Glory, Lord… June 25,2025…Keeping Close”

Dear Praying Friends, As I continue to pray through Luke 9:51-62 this week, I continue to think about how important it is to be resolute in the purposes that God puts before me. Jesus did many things during His ministry but He was resolute in His purpose of going to the cross for you andContinue reading “Show Us Your Glory, Lord… June 24,2025…Keeping Close”

Dear Praying Friends, I just went into our local detention center to share Bible Study with the women detained there. We spoke about Luke 9:51-62 and I found a number of prayer themes there that I’d like to explore this week and next. Jesus had his face set towards Jerusalem and it made me wonderContinue reading “Show Us Your Glory, Lord… June 23,2025…Keeping Close”

Dear Praying Friends, After the excitement of answered prayers, I am ending this week with some weariness. I’m reminded that life is filled with both mountains and valleys and that the Lord is the Lord of both. I have often thought about the scripture about seed falling to the ground and dying and then bringingContinue reading “Show Us Your Glory, Lord… June 20,2025…Keeping Close”

Dear Praying Friends, Yesterday I mentioned that sometimes answers take time. But then sometimes answers seem to come instantly and supernaturally. I still believe that even the “quick” answers come from patiently praying when the answers don’t feel quick. This week, I asked God for a “divine appointment” and it appeared in a fantastic way.Continue reading “Show Us Your Glory, Lord… June 19,2025…Keeping Close”
