A prayer and mediation of thanksgiving to God for the earth and all that is in it.  This is His Creation and when we see it's beauty do we offer our joyful praise to Him, or do we find ourselves distracted by so many things or bitter by a worn-down life?  Do we see and remember Him when we see the work of His hands, mind, and heart?  May we ever do so.

A prayer and meditation upon the Passion of Jesus.  He knew what he was doing.  It was plan A.  There never was a plan B.  This should  bring us much comfort and joy.  Ultimately, it is more than just a story to remember — what he did is the pinnacle of all time and space.  It draws us to glorify a cosmic King and God.

A prayer and mediation about hiding — wrestling with the fact we often find ourselves hiding 'from' God rather than 'in' God.  Why do we do this?  What does God want us to do?

A prayer and mediation for peace in the Middle East, and particularly for those who call YHVH the Lord God.  It is difficult to know how to pray for such a thing, or what to pray for, but sometimes just praying God's Word to Him and standing with it (and upon it) seems appropriate.  We utilize Psalm 102 to do just that in a prayer for God's people.

What is prayer?  What is prayer meant to be like for the Christian?  Though J.R.R. Tolkien was famous in denying any grand allegory  to the Christian message, we take  a short excerpt from "The Hobbit" and find in it a wonderful image of prayer for the follower of Christ.  What does prayer have in common with climbing a tree in the middle of a dark forest?  May it be an encouragement to our prayer life.

A prayer and mediation on Psalm 18. 
What if we place infinite value on these things we read and pray — the Word, and the God of the Word?  With such a perspective, the gravity and fullness of God, as well as His deliverance, becomes nearly unbearable in its brightness and glory.  He alone is our fortress, shield, and deliverer  ...from all things.

A meditation on the three most important days in history, for all creation and for every person, ever born.  It is the hidden wisdom of God in a mystery which none of the rulers of that age knew — for if had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord glory.  When we proclaim "He is risen!," let us perceive the majesty of the cosmic King and the full weight of glory he carries as the conqueror of all things, including death itself.  He, alone, is the Resurrection and the Life.

A meditation on the long held Passover feast.  There is prophecy to behold both in the event and in the practice so carefully held by the Israelites, year after year ...for generations.  Jesus is the our Passover Lamb — for all of us.  He is the Lamb that is worthy to praised throughout eternity.
