Colossians 4:2 ~ Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. Why is it, that we tend to look at prayer as a last resort? Oh...come on..don't tell me you always think "let me pray first." We like to think of ourselves this way. We like for others to think of us …

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. (Psalms 34:18 NLT) There are things in this world that happen, that I'll never understand. I won't claim to understand. This I know, My Savior.. My Redeemer, is GOOD. The truth is that this world that we live in is broken …
