More important than daily vitamins to protect our physical bodies are the pieces of God’s armor we can pray over our lives. “Pray always,” Paul writes, “Pray in the Spirit. Pray about everything in every way you know how!” (Ephesians 6:18 VOICE)
There are some people we can love from a far and leave behind the lines of our boundaries …right? RIGHT? No. Psalm 5:11 says, “But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread your protection over them, that all who love your name may be filled with joy.” NLT
Life starts out as such a grand adventure, doesn’t it? But without a keel, we paddle back and forth and sometimes backwards.
Find a way to laugh …or at least smile through the tears on tough days.
Direction, “a purpose or orientation toward a goal that serves to guide or motivate,” has an inevitable flow in our lives.
Jesus is our strength in the last inch.
Resolutions are strategic reminders for our repentant hearts. As Christians, they should be set in place to progress of the will of God in our lives.

This is the society that we live in, and we have to find a way to unite in prayer for each other, especially at Christmastime.

No matter how blended we may be, God hears us, He loves us, and embraces us!
