Reasons I Pray

Pray As You Go…

Blogging through some of life’s seasons, life’s experiences, and the reasons I pray…while praising God throughout the journey.

Thank you for visiting my blog.

Before I ever share a post with others, I write it first to myself.

I pray that you are blessed, encouraged, and strengthened in your walk with God.

*If you do not know the Lord, Jesus Christ as your savior, please feel free to reach out to me. I would love to introduce you to Him and tell you how He can change your life!

I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise will continually be in my mouth. Psalm 34:1

  • There Is An Exit

    Have you ever heard the verse that says God will make a way of escape? I was thinking about that this afternoon and about how, at different times in our lives, things happen that we weren’t expecting and never saw coming. We pray for a difficult season to pass. We pray for circumstances to change.… Read more

  • As I write this, today would have marked 37 years since I married my first husband. He passed away from brain cancer, and I have since remarried. But today, I found myself thinking about those 37 years, and somehow, they just seem so far away. For a large portion of our marriage, things were tumultuous.… Read more

  • Do Not Go Dumpster Diving

    Have you ever been dumpster diving? I’m sure some of us reading this have, and we know exactly what dumpster diving is all about. We search through commercial or residential waste, digging through large containers filled with things someone else has decided to throw away. Maybe we’re looking for furniture, clothing, household items, or something… Read more

  • I Ate My Dessert First

    A few days ago, my husband and I were waiting for our dinner to be ready when I decided I was going to eat my dessert first. Now, growing up, I was always taught that if you cleared your plate, you would be rewarded with dessert. You would get that treat—that something special. And usually,… Read more

  • God Knew

    Have you ever had one of those moments as a Christian when something has been weighing heavily on your heart, or you feel like God is dealing with you about something, and then suddenly you hear someone mention that very thing? Maybe you hear a worship song a few minutes later, and the words seem… Read more

  • A Great Fish

    My husband sometimes calls me “Betty.” Now, before you ask, no—that isn’t my name. In fact, it’s not even close to my name. It’s simply a nickname he started calling me not long after we were married. Over the years, I’ve grown to love it. Sometimes I’ll even leave him a little note and sign… Read more

  • Work or Worship

    Today I found myself thinking about work versus worship. The Bible has a lot to say about work. Colossians 3:23 tells us, “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” Whatever we do should be done for God’s glory, not for the praise or recognition of people. As… Read more

  • Priorities

    Are you tech-savvy, or are you someone who spends a lot of time on your phone? Maybe you have several social media accounts, enjoy playing games, pay your bills, manage your banking, take photos, or use your phone for countless other tasks. I do some of those things.  It’s amazing how much our phones have… Read more

  • When someone mistreats you or is unkind, how do you respond? What do you do when someone severely mistreats you or treats you with extreme unkindness? Our natural response is often to react the same way we were treated. We may become angry, harbor resentment, or look for ways to get even. We may want… Read more

  • Conformed To Transformed

    One of my younger brothers, Matt, was an ordained minister and evangelist who loved the Lord with all his heart. Anyone who knew Matt knew exactly what mattered most to him. God was first in his life, and he wanted everyone he met to know about the love of Christ and what the Lord had… Read more
