If you’re feeling a little worn down, a bit distracted, stretched thin over the needs of daily life… take a break. Get away, even if it’s just for a few minutes… even if it’s just to your bedroom or the front porch… and talk to Jesus. Trust that He is concerned with the things of […]

This scenario may seem a bit exaggerated, but that is exactly what Hannah endured. Eli allowed his sons to run wild, without rebuke.

I am praying tonight that we find rest in the joy of our First Love.
Laying it all down at the altar of grace... this is where we find our peace. And we need You, Lord. We need You when the day is long and our bodies are tired. We need You when the problems are bigger than us and our hearts are weary. We need You when we don't know what to do next. We need You, when our minds are so full of this-and-that, to become the Center of us. We need our eyes on You and Your Spirit within. We are weak and we need Your strength. We need Your living water to fill all these brittle and dry places... more than anything else in this world, it is Your love that we need.
Let us not lose heart and not lose the hope in this ~ Jesus, we are Yours.
Holy Spirit, come fall afresh on me...
~ Christie
