There I was, cowered in the middle of the hallway, with a flashlight in hand. The electricity had been out for over an hour, and I could hear the storm rage just outside my kitchen windows. My wife and I bought this house not even one year ago, and I worried that tonight could be the night it Continue reading A Prayer for Safety and Strength

From the Bible – Prayers for Strength

What better place to find examples of individuals praying for strength than the Bible itself?

However, in all three examples, God granted these Continue reading From the Bible – Prayers for Strength

A Prayer For Strength and Guidance

Strength is so important. Strength to carry on, make decisions, persevere, etc. But sometimes strength isn’t enough. Life can throw you curveballs in such a way that you need strength and guidance.
