I’m So Upset!
“in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
“Do you want to be upset or do you want to be thankful?”
I was starting for the zillionth time down the pathway of thinking about something that would undoubtedly upset me just like every time before. Some people who were supposed to help me with something they were paid to do not only weren’t helping me. They were being disrespectful, unkind, not compassionate, and at times downright mean and rude.
Now the Lord...
Need Rest?
“Trust in Him at all times, you people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
Godis a refuge for us…” Psalm 62:8….
I was frustrated in the middle of the night when I couldn’t sleep given how desperately I have needed more rest due in part to my usual lack of slowing down when the Lord made me realize He had a message to give me. I couldn’t fall back asleep until I opened my ears and heart and received it.
“Rest is not just sleep. It above all else is trusting me at all times. It is putting your...

Good News Daily – December 25
TODAY’S LITTLE LETTER FROM LARA Dear friend,
Years ago, I made a mess of ministry. In a nutshell, I wasn’t prepared. I had been warned to be prepared before jumping into ministry. But I foolishly, pridefully disregarded the warning and jumped into ministry and created a disaster. Biggest problem with my lack of preparation? I did my ministry work without the love of Christ!
Friend, there are two scriptures that come to mind regularly in my heart now, and I encourage you to...
Shut Your Mouth!
“Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips.” Psalm 141:3……..
“Shut your mouth,” the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart as clear as day. “Because you’re dishonoring me.”
What could I say? He was right. I shut my mouth and walked to my computer to write this message.
I needed to repent. I did. I turned from the wickedness coming from my heart and mouth.
Friend, sin against God isn’t limited to our actions. It also is what evil we hold in our hearts and the darkness that...
It’s Not Your Glory!
“And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comesthrough Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.” Acts 3:16
What did the apostles Peter and John do when the man who was paralyzed from birth to whom they ministered was miraculously healed? Did they take the credit? Did they take the glory? See the verse above? NO!
Friend, when the Lord does something beautiful, wonderful, exciting, marvelous, and...
The Lord Put Me in My Place
“I delight to do Your will, O my God,
And Your lawiswithin my heart.”” Psalm 40:8
“I do not speak in line with your flesh. You need to live in line with my Spirit,” the Lord chastened me one day. “You have things backwards when you want me to line up with your will. You need to line up with mine.”
Uh oh. Ouch. Yikes. Can you relate? Do you need this wisdom from above for yourself?
The Lord God almighty is not to change His will to line up with ours! We are to humbly submit to Him and line our...
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
“and He died for all,that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.” 2 Corinthians 5:15
This is the shocking prayer I wrote to the Lord one morning:
“Oh, Father, what can I do for you? You are so beautiful, so wonderful, so gracious and kind and I love you with all my heart and others as myself because of you and I want to honor you always my precious Lord and Savior forever King, AMEN!”
Why shocking? Because I...

TODAY’S LITTLE LETTER FROM LARA Dear friend,
Oh, how joyful I am today! Why? Because I have wonderful plans for the holiday? No! I have none. Because my beloved family and friends are nearby? No! They’re not even close. Because I have a fabulous social life? No! I have none! Because I have tons of people donating to my ministry, a big staff to lessen my huge load of responsibilities, and I’m...
