I need Jesus
my very desire to live, is literally non existent when I think of a life that doesn’t include Him. So how is it that I keep turning my back when things get too tough? Give me a passion for you, a dedication to pursue your heart in spite of everything that stands in the way. Come and get me, because I can’t reach you on my own and I don’t know where I’m going.

Fried chicken cravings and snivelling
At 1 am, I curled up in a ball on my bed, drowning my pillow with tears that seemed to gush out of my face like tap water. There was an ache in my chest, a pounding in my head and a large wad in the pit of my stomach. I can report now, that It is currently 3 in the morning and I have now moved on to a faint drowsiness, a sharp craving for fried chicken, and, ah yes, I am just as distressed. I...

ivebeenfoundworthy:
This verse does not mean you can go’oh I’m happy in the Lord so why aren’t I rich? Why don’t I have this or that.’ It means to be truly content with nothing but the Lord, to truly delight yourself in Him because when you do that, the desires of your heart are going to be the desires He has for you.

40 Ideas for Lent →
My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will...

"Devotionals For Lent" →
On Ash Wednesday (this week!), Lent begins. For those who don’t know, it’s a time many Christians prepare for Easter by spending the 40 days (Sundays not included) leading up to Easter (when we celebrate Christ’s resurrection!). The 40 days represent the time Jesus spent in the desert, where according to the Bible He endured temptation by satan. (Matthew 4:1-11, Mark 1:9-13, Luke 4:1-14)....
Prayer Request
I want to be so much closer to God. Would you pray for me?
Bible Verses About Prayer
“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of him” (1 John 5:14-15). “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of...

c-e-salazar:
I have found it much easier to admit to myself both my flaws & also whatever other character traits may lend themselves as attributes to the person that I am. & in that regard, I have to admit that while I believe wholeheartedly in the divinity & sovereignty of Jesus Christ, I find it very hard sometimes to connect to other believers, because so many seem to lack...

“Because he loves me,” says the lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” Psalm 91:14-16

I lost my ring a couple days ago
and I was just sitting in bed thinking about how sad I was that I couldn’t find it. That ring symbolized my purity, my commitment to my future husband, my proverbs 31 journey.. and then it hit me: Had my ring turned into more than just a symbol? Had this hunk of metal actually turned into the embodiment of my beliefs, somehow now a part of the white gold? When I lost my ring, I felt like I...

unworthyofhisgrace:
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.
I want friends who I can call at 11 at night to go get burgers and talk and pray and laugh about life and appreciate God’s beauty together because nobody I know does that. I want that. I want to pray before meals and laugh until I cry and have conversations that move my heart. I want friends who make me want to run after God with everything that I am and I want them to be running beside me.
