who is like You
no one else compares
thank You that You still show Yourself faithful when i am faithless
and so quick to forget
and prone to depravity
help me to be okay with whatever You will
though im not there yet
part of my heart still doubts
You are not only Sovereign,
but Truly Good
after all, good without You is zero
Father i want to trust i want to believe
help my unbelief,

work in progress
knowing how much of a sinner i am
and how much work needs to be done on the inner me
really does wonders in putting me in my rightful place-
in the dust, to be poor in self,
in dire and desperate need of my Savior
and this allows my soul and spirit
to desire to hunger and be fulfilled in Him,
to be rich in Christ.

thank You that although seasons change, come and go
that Your love doesn’t change.
an Everlasting Love, drawing me deeper and closer everyday
Spirit lead the way, as You move, tides and chapters of our lives rise and fall
that when sisterhood comes and goes, and desires of heart change
You never change.
let us never cease to forget that You are crazy for us though,
that our purpose in...
because i’ve never known better,
i love the King,
and the King loves me.
what bewilderment!
that just as the Father has loved Me,
so have I loved you.
now remain in my love.
how deeply does His love run,
what breadth, length, height, and depth
as in a relationship,
would you always be questioning
your significant others fondness for you,
although they don’t smother you...
Dressing With Dignity
By Leslie Ludy
Dressing modestly (and fashionably) these days is an art form. Most of us aren’t willing to make the extra effort to overcome the challenges and dress with grace, mystique, and dignity. Add to that our desire to be found appealing to the opposite sex, and we end up with dismally low standards for the way we dress. We know that we’ll get more attention from guys in form-fitting...
pull away
set it free
it’s better off
to let it go
quiet my heart
do Your part
i lay me down
for Your crown
desiring joy and satisfaction
what can make me whole again, nothing but Your blood Jesus.
please my Lord, forgive me for grieving Your Spirit once again
in choosing the desires of flesh and sin over the eternal redemption
and life of love that You gave freely
and made available to me through Your death.
i’m sorry. i want to change, i want to desire repentance in my heart.
though my spirit is willing, my flesh is...

how fitting for the end of a rough semester
When You Need a Little Spiritual Boost Before Your Tests-
One of the most stressful things teenagers face is examinations. Whether it’s a regular test in class to the standardized testing, students are not immune to the anxiety-inducing exams. While there is probably no prayer that can get you an A on an exam you don’t prepare for, and probably no prayer that can change that “B” answer to an “A”...
WatchMY NAME IS FEAR | i don’t exist if you don’t let me, i won’t survive if you don’t feed me.
because God is faithful, we have no need to fear.
but often, circumstances speak so loudly.
they tell us that fear is natural; that it’s a normal response to have.
fear tells us that circumstances are bigger than God’s power,
or even at times that God doesn’t care. it can be so pervasive. it creeps in...

in this lifetime,
the weight of worship-
to live and die for You
for the promise of a lifetime,
to have joy and delight in all Your ways
for all my days, to the hope of glory in eternity.
thankful to taste and see You.
thankful that so many things have changed in the past two years.
thankful that i am Yours Lord and that only in You, my joy is made complete.

our faith in Him must not be dependent on...”
“it is God’s will that you should be sanctified”
you intended to harm me, but God intended it for good
to accomplish what is now being done the saving of many lives.
so then, don’t be afraid. i will provide for you.

i am my own separate entity, detached where my soul is connected to my God.
this in exchange for reckless abandonment of my Lord and Savior.
Jesus, You are my completion, my utmost joy, my satisfaction, and my lover.
“He said to me “you are my servant, israel,
in whom I will display My splendor.”...”
whether i advance forward or not, that i would represent You, Lord Jesus.
God i know You are able.
You made a way when there was no way.
please, please provide a great and mighty way
so that i may walk with You all of my days
and be led in Your ways everlasting.
you may not always have the comfort of a human presence,
but you have the assurance of God’s presence always.
God i know you’re faithful
i know You’re here with me
that You care more about the core of my being and soul
than just my feelings
please help me to find joy in You
help me to appreciate You
to delight in Your ways
to have my heart be set on Your decrees and truth
please please, provide a great and mighty way out
show me how please
i want to honor and glorify You
let me be...

You gave me life and showed me kindness,
and in Your providence watched over my spirit.
yet if you devote your heart to Him
and stretch out your hands to Him,
if you put away the sin that is in your hand
and allow no evil to dwell in your tent,
then you will lit up your face without shame:
you will stand firm and without fear.
you will surely forget your trouble,
recalling it only as...
“you can’t change your situation,
the only thing you can change
is how...”
