A Season of Stillness

Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him.—Psalm 62:5 (NLT)

Wipe the Slate Clean

“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”—Luke 23:34 (ESV)
Forgiving others can be difficult and can even test your faith. When you are finding it impossible to let go of past hurts, rely on God’s strength. Ask Him to help heal your broken heart, let go of the weight of the past and forgive.

Arguing with God

“How then can I dispute with him? How can I find words to argue with him?”—Job 9:14 (NIV)

Have you ever tried to argue with God only to realize the error of your thinking? God is never wrong. Yet, by openly disagreeing with Him, you often open a dialogue that will help you better understand His ways. Approach Him with honest prayer. Your most important action is to turn to Him.

Heavenly Father, I may not be happy with what is happening, but who am I to argue with You?
