Prayer Devotional

How do we love people we don’t agree with? How do we care for and show respect to those who aren’t like us? As we open our Bible and begin to read the very first chapter of Genesis, we discover all men and women are created equal in God’s image. We are endowed with the same rights and designed with the same qualities by an all-powerful Maker. This thread of equality runs throughout the entirety of God’s word and as Christians, we are commanded to express those values to others. We need to equip ourselves with the knowledge of God’s word to combat the false teaching of racism, ...

Sometimes God reveals himself in ways that go unnoticed, such as everyday experiences, creation's beauty, Scriptures, life's joys, art, music, or even through tears. Windows of the Soul is a moving account of how author Ken Gire has met God in the most unusual, unexpected places. Gire describes his ability to perceive God's whisper, the only voice that fulfills a soul's longing for heaven, through the clamor of everyday life.

Years ago, I read in Exodus about how God provided manna for His people each day. One morning soon after, I was saying the Lord's prayer with my children. When I said, “give us this day our daily bread,” it stood out to me. Although this reference relates to physical needs, I believe it also pertains to spiritual needs. I feel God wants to give us spiritual manna every single day. Each day He has something to reveal about Himself. “Reflections” comes from a journal that I began writing so I wouldn’t forget these daily treasures. I wanted to be able to come back to them and reflect...

The “Yeses” just keep piling up! Is that surprising to you, too? What also surprises me is what we are taught in church about prayer. This may depend upon your denomination and background, but most Christians I have talked to have common ideas about prayer. However, if you dig into the Scripture, you can’t really find examples of these things actually happening. These ideas are taught to young children, and they ...

Anne Neilson believes that each of us begins our life as a blank canvas: clean and fresh and ready to find texture in our experiences. Each trial, each joy, each heartache, and each hope leaves an explosion of color and sweeping brushstrokes that shape us. When we allow God to take over as the Master artist, we will find that He carefully adds dimension and highlights to create a beautiful masterpiece in us. Often, though, it's hard to find the beauty when we are wading through mess. Anne shares personal stories about why her faith is so important to her and resonates in all her work.
