Dear Praying Friends, Sometimes answers take time! I was thinking today about the last 40+ years that the Lord has been inspiring me to pray for my city. It is hard to believe that it has been that long. And here I am today and the burden remains. I want to remind you to continueContinue reading “Show Us Your Glory, Lord… June 18,2025…Keeping Close”

Dear Praying Friends, Prayer is most importantly about a relationship with a Heavenly Father Who loves us. But as we pray for His Kingdom to come and His will to be done, we are engaging in an ongoing battle to bring His light into dark places. Because we have just celebrated Father’s Day this week,Continue reading “Show Us Your Glory, Lord… June 16,2025…Keeping Close”

Dear Praying Friends, As we approach another summer weekend,perhaps you are planning a camping trip or a barbeque. It is Father’s Day weekend so let’s lift up fathers everywhere. Let’s continue to ask God to bring “redemption” to every hurting place.

Dear Praying Friends, On Wednesday, June 11 (yesterday), I asked the children in VBS what they learned about God. One little boy raised his hand and profoundly said,”Light overcomes darkness.” Out of the mouths of babes! I think that is what “redemption” is all about…God’s light overcoming the darkness of sin. As I have sharedContinue reading “Show Us Your Glory, Lord… June 12,2025…Keeping Close”

Dear Praying Friends, As I continue meditating on what “redemption” means, I love the fact that Psalm 130:7 (featured below) tells us that God’s redemption is plentiful.

Let’s keep asking God to help us to be tenderheartedContinue reading “Show Us Your Glory, Lord… June 11,2025…Keeping Close”

Dear Praying Friends, As I continue meditating on what “redemption” means, there are some places in my life that I definitely feel need a redemptive touch from the Lord. Do you have places where your heart has grown hard? With the world events, it is understandable. But God wants us to have clean and teachableContinue reading “Show Us Your Glory, Lord… June 10,2025…Keeping Close”

Dear Praying Friends, In a recent corporate prayer time, the word “redemption” was spoken repeatedly. According to Strong’s Concordance, the Hebrew word gaal is translated as redeem and also as avenge, ransom and deliver. I believe God is reminding us that He will restore broken things. This week, I will include scriptures about redemption. EvenContinue reading “Show Us Your Glory, Lord… June 9,2025…Keeping Close”

Dear Praying Friends, Friday, June 6, 2025 is the 81st anniversary of D-Day. I feel I should include a military prayer prompt in this blog post. Many places will be commemorating what happened on that day. Thank you for your continued prayers for nation and neighbor. I also invite you to join me in continuedContinue reading “Show Us Your Glory, Lord… June 6,2025…Keeping Close”

Dear Praying Friends, I think one thing that I’m currently learning or maybe relearning is to slow down to “be” with God. As the world swirls around us, I encourage you to take a deep breath as you read this and to just be still. I know that it is hard because we are surroundedContinue reading “Show Us Your Glory, Lord… June 5,2025…Keeping Close”
