by Jonathan Merki on February 26th, 2024
Father in Heaven,Give us faith to pray with the audacity of the Psalmist: "Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let Your glory be over all the earth." (Psalm 57:11, NIV).

Day 53: Numbers 21-22; Psalm 53
by Jonathan Merki on February 22nd, 2024
Our Father and our God,Sometimes it seems our world is full of fools...people who completely deny Your existence and do their best to deny others the opportunity to know and encounter You. There are times we wonder if the greater fool isn't the one who may not deny Your existence but simply lives a life that completely ignores Your presence and call upon their lives. Could the greatest fool be the... Read More

Father in Heaven,When others attempt to thwart our journey, when they place obstacles in our paths and come against us because we are Yours, see the work of their hands and deal with them, even as You defend us and make a way for us through the wilderness of opposition. When we are slandered, may our confidence be in what You have said and our identity in who You have created us to be in You. Let ... Read More
