With every breath, with every thought From what is seen to the deepest part I offer all that I've come to be To know your love fathering me Father, You're all I need My soul's sufficiency My strength when I am weak That love that carries me Your arms enfold me, till I am only A child of God With every step on this journey's walk And wisdom's songs that the soul has sought I give myself unreservedly To know Your love fathering me

Come to know this well...

FAITH AND OBEDIENCE Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, "Abraham!" "Here I am" he replied. Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about." Early the next morning Abraham got up and saddled his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. Genesis 22:1-3 What would you have done if God had spoken to you like he spoke to Abraham? I love to teach and read about Abraham's life and his walk of faith. There are such powerful lessons of truth throughout his life that you...

DELIVER MY SPOUSE, LORD! I love you, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies. Psalm 18:1-3 Are you praying for your spouse to come home? That is our prayer for you every day. I want you to know your Lord’s mighty power. Allow your Lord God to be your refuge in your time of trouble, where the enemy cannot get near you. I pray that you are growing in the Lord to believe and know that your Lord wants your spouse to be delivered from the enemy’s lies of deception. Will you join with me to pray in agreement for the Holy Spirit...

AN OPEN LETTER TO DADS Sunday is Father’s Day, but my heart is broken when I think about the percentage of children who have no father in their lives. For some of these, their father has died. For most, however, their father simply decided to quit being a dad. Even before that happened, these men decided to quit being a husband. They listened to the silent voice inside that lied to them with statements like, “You deserve to be happy,†or “You married the wrong person.†That voice soon changed to, “Divorce isn’t really so bad,†and, “The children will get over it.†How can I be so sure about those silent voices? In 1985 I walked out on my wife, Charlyne, and our three children. Soon, a replacement for me had been found...

Lord, I Trust You Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6(NKJV) I was recently reflecting upon this scripture in Proverbs 3:5-6. It’s a verse that I memorized early on in life as I grew up in the church, but it wasn't until I got to be an adult who had given her life to the Lord and completely surrendered to Him that I came to understand what it fully means. The first eight words of this passage of scripture are truly the basis of my meditation as I’ve been thinking about trust. I started thinking about how I came to trust my spouse as we were dating and how I got to the point to where I trusted him enough to...

I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR Hear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. Guard my life, for I am devoted to you. You are my God; save your servant who trusts in you. Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I call to you all day long. Bring joy to your servant, for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. You are forgiving and good, O Lord, abounding in love to all who call to you. Hear my prayer, O LORD; listen to my cry for mercy. In the day of my trouble I will call to you, for you will answer me. Psalm 86:1-7 “Lord show me Your will and way for my marriage.†Is that your heart's cry today? Do you need to hear from the Lord all the answers to your many prayers about your marriage and all the circumstances that come when your beloved spouse is...

THE LORD IS YOUR REFUGE, FRIEND AND HELPER Look to my right and see; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life. I cry to you, O LORD ; I say, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living." Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need; rescue me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me. Psalm 142:4-6 Are you overwhelmed by the desperate and impossible situations that you are facing in your marriage? I recently studied many different words that start with "I" and one of the words was "impossible." Regardless, of your circumstances right now, may you never forget that your Lord God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, is right there beside you wanting to direct your every step. "For...

"WHY GOD?" How long, O Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen? Or cry out to you, "Violence!" but you do not save? Why do you make me look at injustice? Why do you tolerate wrong? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and conflict abounds. Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails. The wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted. Habakkuk 1:2-4 "God, where are You?" Is that one of your thoughts during the darkest, loneliest hours of despair, hopelessness, depression or oppression as your face your marriage problems? Do you say, "Why God, does my beloved spouse not communicate with me with decency? God, why did this happen to us? What caused all this to happen to my spouse...
