    Faith That Prays Series

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jan 3, 2026
    based on 1 rating
     | 356 views

    When injustice and God’s silence confuses us, true faith does not walk away but cries out honestly, bows humbly before God’s sovereignty, trusts His wisdom even when His methods are unsettling, and continues in prayerful dependence until faith rests fully in His unchanging character.

The innocent suffer. The vulnerable are crushed. Entire peoples are marginalized, displaced, or ...read more

    God’s strength never fails; when we are weary, He renews us, teaching us to hope, trust, and find fresh power in His presence.

    Some of us walked in today with a brave face and a tired heart. Bills and busyness have been barking at your heels. Sleep has been thin. Relationships feel fragile. The headlines howl. And somewhere deep inside, a whisper rises: “I’m worn down.” If that’s you, friend, you are in good company. The ...read more

The disturbances were described as some of the worst outbreaks in their history. Fierce gangs numbering up to 5000 young white men ...read more
