I wrote this in my book, “Prayers for the Pilgrimage,” and I still believe it: I believe that I do it, I believe that others do it, and I believe that God graces us to try again, to pray the seemingly un-prayable aspects of our lives. Thanks Michele Morin. 🙏🏻

Our prayer lives flow from our theology, and I am beginning to see the startling truth that how I pray actually shapes my theology. My failure to pray cements in my mind the poor theology of a distant God. michelemorin.net/2024/09/04/the… via Michele Morin

When discouragement is the biggest thing in the room, we need outside help to envision anything bigger. God is willing to help our discouraged children at every stage in life to understand the fullness of his love. michelemorin.net/2024/09/01/how… via Michele Morin

What if our first response to our child's discouragement was prayer? michelemorin.net/2024/09/01/how… via Michele Morin

"No matter who it happens to or how it comes about, salvation is always a supernatural work of God in which blind eyes are opened, giving a person the ability to see who Jesus is and the faith to trust him." Nancy Guthrie #saved Crossway michelemorin.net/2024/09/11/wha… via Michele Morin

While the process of aging may show up in the loss of physical beauty, the imposition of physical limitations, and even a few regrets, it offers much more than it steals. serenityinsuffering.com/final-hours/ via serenityinsuffering

The church gathered is about God and not about us. It's about fulfilling God's great salvation purposes as we look toward the future assembly of people and nations and tongues and tribes that will one day surround us as we worship God. michelemorin.net/2024/09/11/wha… via Michele Morin

Holding on to hope without any evidence of a happy ending may be one of the most challenging disciplines of the following life. However, if we never needed a place of safety, we would never discover God as our "refuge and strength in times of trouble."

Preserved, one basket of ripe tomatoes will become 6 quarts of goodness in winter soups or pots of chili. How can we preserve the goodness of this day, the gifts we’ve been given, so that others will be nourished and blessed? #canningseason

There’s certainly nothing wrong with setting boundaries and living within them. However, when control becomes an idol for me, I pull the drawstrings of my life so tightly that there’s no room for God to work–or for me to breathe. More encouragement here: michelemorin.net/2022/07/17/num…

The Holy Spirit knows what we need even when we don’t and somehow translates our deepest longings and questions before the Father in such a way that enables God’s will to be done in our lives. wp.me/p4Q7Zm-3q0 via Lois Flowers
