Feeling Fed Up?
When someone shared with me how fed up he was about a particular situation, I listened, I loved, and I prayed for him with tears. A few minutes after we parted ways, God placed this message on my heart.
About what to do when we’re feeling fed up. Like we’re at the end of our rope. Like we just can’t take it anymore. Like enough is enough. Like the burden is too much. Like we’re too worn out to carry on. Like enough of this nonsense. Like if those people don’t get their acts together and start do...
Why Are You Still Holding On?
If you are clear God wants you to let go of something or someone, why are you still holding on?
Please consider these words from the Lord Jesus Christ.
“”But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say?” Luke 6:46 NKJV
There are three reasons I had tremendous trouble letting go in the past. First, I didn’t believe in God and didn’t know His will nor have the strength from God to let go. Second, when I did come to believe in Him, for years I was still living for self not fo...
Sacrifice of Thanksgiving
God shows us in the Bible we should offer to Him the “sacrifice of Thanksgiving”, but how can Thanksgiving be a sacrifice? I can’t speak for God, but this is what comes to my heart. First, long ago, when people were under the law and Jesus Christ Savior of the world had not yet come to the earth, died on the cross, and been rai...

Abounding with Thanksgiving
God has gifted me in words. Writing them. Speaking them. Paying close attention to them. Noticing them. Being moved by God through them. Sometimes speaking and writing too many. Sometimes speaking and writing too few. Sometimes speaking and writing the wrong ones. Sometimes the right ones. When other people are preoccupied wi...

Thanksgiving for Others
The apostle Paul didn’t just pray to God for people, as I believe we are all called to do, but he THANKED GOD for people! What an inspiration! How often do we take the time to thank God for the people in our lives? And when we do, do we restrict our giving of thanks to God concerning our closest friends and family members? Or do ...

Time to Call It Quits?
Sometimes we reach a point in our lives in which our circumstances and thoughts and feelings in response to them are such that we wonder if it’s time to call it quits with something or someone. Ever felt this way? Feeling that way right now?
Could be a job, career, responsibility, commitment, church, counselor, house, education, friendship, sport, hobby, business, interest, anything or anyone at all.
We may feel exhausted, weary, worn out, burned out, frustrated, impatient, discouraged, down, de...
Three Times Daily
I have known for years that the prophet Daniel prayed diligently and decidedly multiple times daily per the Bible, but not until I started writing this book and looked up verses related to Thanksgiving did I find the verse below – and was I moved to the start of tears in reading it.
I had always assumed Daniel simply prayed to ask God ...

Indescribably Thankful
When I was quickly scanning through a list of Bible verses about being thankful, I was strongly drawn to a verse I am sure I must have read over the years but to which I had never paid any serious attention. Immediately I was struck by it. Moved would be a more accurate word. Deeply, deeply moved in fact.
You will see in the verse belo...

Indescribably Thankful
There is nothing and nobody in the world I am thankful for more than I am thankful for the Lord Himself. And than for my forever relationship with Him He has given me through repentance and believing in Jesus Christ as Lord and in His death and resurrection and truly committing my heart and life to God and His ways. I am indescrib...
Living for the Lord
One of my favorite verses in the Bible, and one that for me sums up the way God created us all to live, which you will find below, is what I think of as the ultimate way to have a heart and life filled with Thanksgiving to God. When we can honestly say we are living and breathing to love and glorify God, when we are sincerely totally...
