    No matter how difficult our lives may be, God has not left us alone. Often, when things are difficult and God seems silent, it is our cue to come away from life’s distractions so that we can synchronize ourselves with God again.

    “When Prayers Go Unanswered” Habakkuk 1:2 NIV 2 How long, O Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen? At times it may seem that God has hides His face from us, when we don’t receive an immediate answer to our prayers. We pray, we pour our hearts out to God, we ...read more

Nothing is quite good enough, nothing quite satisfies. There are folks whose ...read more

    When we pray do we expect God to answer? Your prayer releases God’s power to work on the earth.
