Playing Truth or Dare with God

When people invent their own truths and live by them, almost always they expect others to conform—chaos and conflict are guaranteed to follow.

Bigger than All the Stupid

Take a deep breath. Let it out—slowly. Relax. Read. Something infinite, eternal permeates the trembling world—it’s greater than everything, and forever will be. Read it slowly—read it out loud. Tell yourself the story… The love of God is greater far Than tongue or pen can ever tell; It goes beyond the highest star, And reaches…

Living in a Different World

What the Devil Wants from Us

The Devil wants us angry, because anger blinds people to reason and deafens them to dialogue The Devil wants us to react, because reaction is anger-driven and anger blinds The Devil wants us to ‘justifiably’ hate, because hate is a reaction of anger, which blinds The Devil wants us to believe what we choose to…

A Prayer Where God Does All the Talking

Confused, Stressed, Angry, Helpless, Hopeless. That’s everyone since Eden’s Fall. Humanity ruined God’s perfect creation—but the Maker still speaks amidst the ruins. Let’s pray—and let Him do the talking… Come and see the works of the Lord, the desolations he has brought on the earth. He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth; he…

A Prayer for Crazies

A world gone crazy is nothing new—it just reminds us how much we needed God all along. Let’s pray… Many are asking, “Who can show us any good?” Let the light of your face shine upon us, O Lord. You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound.…

God’s Night Music

A nocturne is music inspired by the night. Twenty-eight hundred years before Chopin composed his nocturnes, someone sang out in the deep darkness of night. Join their song—let’s pray… As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When…

A Prayer when Waiting is Agony

Waiting for God to answer can be agony. King David was having ‘one of those days’, so he prayed this prayer. Join in… I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet…

Praying Scripture

A Rabbi once said, “Reading Scripture is the highest form of prayer because that’s when God does all the talking.” Here is a Scripture that prays gloriously—the Word of God praising its Author.
