I told the Lord today, “I wish I loved you more.” My spirit heard Him say, “We’ve been over this before.” He reminded me again, “I see deep into your soul, The places you have been, The times you lost control. And thru it all I see, A heart that longs to love With [...]
Last night, before we went to bed, we read the third chapter of Proverbs together. And a verse jumped out at me like it never has before. Maybe it was the translation that made it different.

Give me a hunger, Give me a thirst, For you, Lord, and for your righteousness. Lost in wonder, When I seek you first, I find you seeking me in my distress. Your word tells me when I draw near to you, Then you will also draw near to me. Yet again and again, The things [...]
The other day, I told the Lord I wish I loved Him more. He told me He knows. He sees deep down into the innermost part of my soul where that yearning longs for an outlet. He said He knows. And that makes me want to love Him more than I already desire to love Him. [...]
Last night, after the service, a brother was praying over me. I had never met Ray before, though I’ve seen him and heard from others that he is a prayer warrior and intercessor. So I was excited to finally meet him. As he was praying over me, the Lord gave him this vision. He saw me as a [...]
Father God, We come to you as your children. We need you now. We need to know we are loved. We need to feel your embrace. We need a sense of your faithfulness and steadfast love, though our experiences defy such a request. We need your presence here with us now. We need you. As [...]
