WHAT ARE BREATH PRAYERS?

Breath prayers combine two powerful tools that can help calm anxiety: the science of deep breathing and prayers of meditation on God’s Word. We often tend to separate science and faith as if they are contradictory forces at war with one another. But in reality, the science of the brain and body doesn’t contradict the […]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I believe having a grateful heart has more power than we can imagine. Being thankful is obviously important because God’s Word is filled with instructions and reminders to give thanks and be thankful.

Sovereignty of God Proverbs 21:1

At first glance this list of Old Testament proverbs may appear like a hodgepodge of random thoughts.
