There aren’t enough words to describe the time each of us is living. At the time of this writing, I’ve just ended a global prayer conference call. I was listening and interceding, while others from multiple countries gave reports and asked for prayer for their nations due to this pandemic. I was humbled. Brought to tears as I heard…
[su_spacer]Growing up in my house meant we passed around fear like outgrown clothes. Fear of conflict. Fear of drunkenness. Fear of failure. Fear of fighting. Fear of rage. Fear of abuse.

This fear brought forth deep-seated emotions of unexpressed…
Anxious Surrender Imagine what a young, pregnant woman might be thinking as she rode on a donkey into town that day? Every woman I know has experienced some level of anxiety. Consider being 12-14 years old, and suddenly you are carrying the Savior of the World? God’s son. Your only qualification is that you lived a…
