Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Mar 27, 2017

Praying In Great Distress

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Apr 9, 2017

When Jesus was preparing for the greatest ordeal any human would ever face--the one who had never sinned to be cut off from his Heavenly Father--he went to God in great desperation. We can and should do the same when we face the inevitable trials of life.

Matthew 26:36-46 Praying in Great Distress Jesus is our example in all things, and today he shows us how to take our anxious thoughts to God. I heard about a guy who was anxious in his driving.

Thoughts And Prayers Matter

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 20, 2019

In the wake of the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, politicians and many Christians are repeating “Thoughts and prayers are not enough. We need action.” Could it be that they, like many Christians, don’t truly understand prayer and what it can accomplish?

In 2015, after a shooter left 14 dead in California, the cover of the New York Daily News shouted “God Isn’t Fixing This! As the latest batch of innocent Americans are left lying in pools of blood, cowards (referring to politicians) who could truly end gun scourge continue to hide behind ...read more

Praying For God’s Will – Submitting To God’s Way

Contributed by Esther Collins on May 11, 2022

Often we pray for God's will, and hope things will work out the way we want them to. But in reality it's in submitting to His will, and willingly going His way can we experience God's perfect blessings.

We pray for God’s will to be done, and when we find that God’s will is not as we planned or desired, we ...read more

Contributed by James Linders on Jul 7, 2015

We as children of God and disciples of Jesus Christ, have a certain behavioural code by which we live. To DENY our Lord would be a GROSS violation of THIS code. UNLIKE Peter and Judas, we have the Holy Spirit to guide and teach us in ALL truth.
