Jesus told his followers to pray to avoid temptation. But before we can pray that with a clear conscience, there are some things we need to ask ourselves first.

If God already knows my needs, why pray? Because the purpose of prayer is to surrender your will, not impose it.

At one time or another, we’ve all been told we should pray. But how should we pray? Jesus’s disciples had the exact same question.

Do you find yourself seeking comfort and convenience in your life? So did Nehemiah until he decided to follow his convictions and changed his life and many others in his community.

It seems we live in a culture where everyone needs to have an opinion about something. We are slow to listen, quick to speak, and quick to become angry. Maybe the most important, the wisest, or spiritual thing to say is...nothing.

Holding in resentment, hurt and anger is the opposite of healing. When we fail to forgive we are usually hurting ourselves more than others. When is it the right time to say I forgive you?

Knowing when we need help takes being honest with ourselves. Saying I Give Up might be the strongest thing you could say.
