Where Bloggers Come Together in Prayers, Support, and Celebration
As Jesus drew more to the end of His life on earth, His Spirit became more troubled. He had always known how His end was going to be–the suffering He’d encounter and the brutality with which He was going to be killed. How does a man live with that kind of weight on Him? Not only was He going to die like that, He KNEW it! Apart from this horrible
Throughout my daily life, I am constantly telling people I will pray for them. I have a really great group of friends that my husband and I meet with every Sunday night after church and we are constantly sharing prayer requests with one another. I always have every intention of keeping those promises to pray. And sometimes I do, but a lot of times I forget or I pray about
Today, I want to share something with you that’s been on heavy on my heart lately. Friendship. Sounds simple enough right? Wrong! It’s anything BUT simple, especially when you have friends who are different or were raised differently than you, who have different beliefs and who may or may not live far away. There are thousands of things that can alter your friendships, but who is worth overcoming the obstacles

My husband and I will be married a year next month. I have often praised God for providing me with such a kind and loving companion. But lately, I am thankful for how God is using my marriage to change me. Since getting married, I have learned a lot about myself. I have learned that I am impatient.

And after every devotional on the whole internet

Written by: Buife Have you ever been there? Yes, there. Where your world ceases to move…in any direction.

I know I should be more sensitive, and pick up on things that they may need comforting on, but sometimes it’s just hard! The bible tells us that…Matthew 9:36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and
Written by Obi Faith is a HUGE part of most people’s lives. I would like to share a little story with you about how I have come to know and appreciate my faith more. For me having a strong Faith has allowed me to go forward in many things despite the obstacles. My biggest test of Faith thus far has been with my eyesight. Starting in September of 2013 I

Written by Stephanie K. Here lately, I’ve been thinking “Am I a Proverbs 31 woman?” I know many Christian women who have such a strong faith, and can speak so eloquently, that you know the Lord is speaking through them. They just have that natural ability. I also know some whose kindness melts your heart, or their gentle spirit calms and encourages you, or they just have the right advice

Written by Makeda We see it all the time. If we don’t see it, we feel it. The need for healing. There are times when we know that healing will come. Then there are times when we wonder how long it will take for the healing to arrive. Over the past couple of weeks, I have dealt with death. As if that wasn’t enough for me I began to deal
Prayerful Blogger has been such a blessing to me. For years, I have been encouraged and comforted by my connection with these great women. I am so thankful for this group. It is an honor to pray for and walk with them.
