    Psalm 22 – Daily Bread from the Psalms

      Daily Bread:  Thoughts and Prayers from the Psalms ~  Psalm 22  ~ Did you read Psalm 21 yesterday? Yep.  What a change in tone!   Same David, totally different day. Do you ever feel like you’re riding a rollercoaster with the LORD? One day praising Him and rejoicing from the highest mountain top, and the very next day crying out from a deep pit, and wondering where He’s gone? Do you ever wonder if He UNDERSTANDS what you’re going through? There are a couple of things I’ve been learning from David.

  • Daily Bread from the Psalms (Psalm 5)

    Praying Psalm 5 What does your quiet time or “prayer closet” look like? Do you have a certain time of day that works best, or a certain place?  I joke with my husband that I need a stockpile of water proof sticky notes because I feel like I hear God best in the shower.  Yeah, I know.  Totally weird.  Psalm 5 is such a great prayer to start the day! So glad you’ve come and we’re praying it together today! A Morning Prayer from Psalm 5~ In the morning, O LORD, my King,  my God You HEAR my voice… I lay my requests before you and wait in EXPECTATION… I, by…
