We will soon host the first of our PrayerGates guest prayer journalers. These women will help us to see how that week's excerpt from Praying God's Word has impacted their lives. You don't have to wait to begin utilizing PrayerGates, though...

I love this excerpt from Beth because there is so much I can relate to. To be totally honest, it’s really refreshing to be able to say that about someone you respect spiritually. I think we’ve all had that moment where we realize that while...

As we continue to make improvements to the PrayerGates service, one of the first things we wanted to release to the community was a way to put the Prayer Wall posts into your own personal site/blog. Now, by just copying an pasting a small bit of code...

Each month, we release to the community a new song and downloadable video, for free, to tie in with that month's focus chapter. But what happens to them after the month is over? They go to YouTube! Follow this link to view the PrayerGates playlist on...

Pride. I suspect that no stronghold is easier for us to spot in someone else, yet oh-so-difficult to recognize when staring back at us in the mirror. When it comes to the strongholds that Beth addresses in Praying God’s Word, this one is of epic...

One of the verses I often share when speaking to teen girls is Psalm 26:2-3 which says, “Test me, O LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind; for your love is ever before me, and I walk continually in your truth.” Too often, we worry...

Can you guess the four most often heard words in counseling rooms across the Nation and the World? The answer, hands down, is this: “Do you love me?” “Do you love me, Daddy?” “Do you love me, Mom?” “Do you Love...

Rejection. That word has shaped more of my life than I care to remember. I can remember standing in the middle of my elementary school gymnasium, waiting with tiny, sweaty fists as the kickball teams were chosen. Name after name was called and I stared...

Pray for two very special couples as they struggle with infertility. That they will have a peace that passes all understanding through this journey. Pray for Matthew and I as we are going through the same struggles. That one day we will all look back...

Heavenly Father, Keep me reading and studying your word on a daily basis. There are so many things that compete for my time, but just as I have to eat every day to stay alive, I need to "digest" your word every day to stay spiritually alive...

Heavenly Father, It's so easy to get focused on myself when I pray. I end up praying for what I need, what I want, etc. I try to pray "Thy will be done," but I sometimes think I'm really praying for myself, even then. So today I pray...

Dear Lord, This is my first journal entry on this site. It's seems pretty cool, so let's try it out! Lord, I am WOWED by you! God, I can see your hand in our life. God, you are calling us to a new season of our life, family, marriage, ministry...

Father God, I pray for Kids club today. God, it has been a while since we have been over at our apartment and had kids club. God, I pray that you will bring our kids out to us today. God, I pray that you would call them by name to go to kids club today...

Dear Father God, I ask that you continue to provide housing, food, and the means to pay my monthly bills. You know my current job situation. Please take care of Savannah and I.

Lord, how marvelous and powerful are you! Full of grace and love for a sinner like me. On my knees my heart is heavy and wanting to hear your voice and walk the path closer to you! I love you Lord and sing your praises! My body is weak from multiple sclerosis...

9/29/10 This passage has been special for me in the last few days as I've read my Bible readings and a few books I've been reading a chapter of daily. Vs. 2 has really been special to me in that I am reminded of my Bible study girlfriends. Read...

Today I choose to rejoice at whatever happens in this day --- and beyond. Yesterday in my Bible study group discussion one of the ladies who has chronic pain shared with our group that she had read this and we discussed the fact that we should choose...

I have been walking through the days this summer looking at every turn for the provision of the Lord, for doors of ministry to open for Carl and it 'looks' as though doors are closed. However, I stand in the palm of His hands, on His promises...
