Jesus taught us to pray for God
In the prayer that starts, “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,” Jesus taught: Pray for people. But first, pray for God. Here's how.
An unleavened life – trusting, transparent, true

Defender of the forsaken – this is God
The Lord sees when the vulnerable are abandoned. He hears when the helpless cry to him. And he acts. Defender of the forsaken – this is God.
I AM the treasure you seek
Each time Jesus uses the name “I AM,” he offers a gem of insight into who he is as Lord. And his life affirms, “I AM the treasure you seek.”

Why it's vital to treasure the forgotten prayer – that Jesus told us to pray, but our minds can’t grasp and our emotions can’t quite embrace.
Extraordinary times – and a most extraordinary God
In extraordinary times, all eyes turn toward what seems most remarkable. If we let him, our extraordinary God will remind us who actually is.

An August coup, God’s promise of breakthrough
The August coup that dismantled the Soviet Union rocked my world too. Then, breakthrough! How it looks when God opens a door no one can shut.
