It happens to us all. Conflicting messages cloud our vision. Pain and suffering wear our faith thin. Whether you've been following Him for a few days or a few years, we understand how easy it is to lose sight of who God truly is. Join us on a 15-day journey into the character of God. Be reminded how glorious He is, and how much He cares for you.

Scripture teaches us, even exhorts us, to pray with unshakable belief, to open our ears and hear the promises of God, and invite them to dwell deep in our hearts. God wants us to pray these “Prayers of Faith” to anchor our trust in His assurances, knowing that God is always true to His Word. Only then do we pray in ways that abandon ourselves and our cares to God’s loving goodness and divine purposes. May we earnestly desire this for ourselves and the people we are knit together with in God’s family.
