Hurricane Helene: A Moment of Prayer

Hurricane Helene: A Moment of Prayer

In today's episode, I take a moment to pray for those who experienced the wrath of Hurricane Helene and how God has awoken me to the reality that life can change in a moment. He is the author of everyone's story. He creates our beginning and calls out our end. "May the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace." ~ Numbers 6:24-26

Aaron's Story

This week, Aaron shares his story and how God has impacted his life. It takes courage to be vulnerable and share your story, it doesn't take courage to bottle everything up.

Inviting His Presence

In this episode, I invite you to invite God's presence into your day and take a moment to acknowledge who He is. Key Verse: "And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within; and day and night they do not cease to say, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is coming.” And when the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders will fall down before Him who sits on the throne, and they will worship Him who lives forever and ever, and will cast their crowns before the throne, saying, “Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created.” ~Revelation 4:8-11

Our Drifting

When we start to feel distant from God, usually something has taken His place at the center of our hearts. Maybe it's money, kids, family, work. Whatever we place our focus on can either deepen or disrupt the peace and contentment of our hearts. God is always waiting at our door, knocking and patiently waiting for our return to re-invite Him back into our hearts and home. Key Verse: "Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is bad, your body is full of darkness." ~ Luke 11:34

The Unexpected

Life throws us a lot of unexpected change our way. Often, we panic, trying to make sense of it. Maybe we place blame on others or God because things didn't, "go our way". Either way, God knows and sees the unexpected things that happen in our life and even though it may feel chaotic and world-ending in the moment, He has goodness waiting for you on the other side... Key Verse: "Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world." - James 4:8
