Fears and Tears

Prayer

  • Come To Him

    “Come to Him,” three simple words that stood out to me. I was at Sunday Mass, and these words were in the scripture reading. They struck my attention and moved my heart. I have found myself struggling over the last several weeks. I had pulled ligaments in my lower back and it took four weeks…

  • Life with Christ

    I purchased some potting soil and new planters. I have many houseplants that need fresh soil and a larger area to grow. Their roots have no place to go and they are stuck in a container too small for them. The plants have stopped thriving and growing; they have become stagnant and unable to get…

  • Today

    Pray for one another. James 5:16 Today, I said a prayer for you. A prayer to hold onto hope and find your courage deep within. A prayer that you matter and are not alone. That today, you would feel the sun on your face, even if it is behind the clouds. Closing your eyes and…

  • The Tender Love of God

    I sit in silence, and ponder what the Lord has done for me. My heart is overwhelmed by the tender love of the Lord during this most sacred time of the year. Every year of the Lenten season, followed by the Passion and Resurrection of the Lord, I experience something new. I spent time with…

  • Out of the Depths

    I sit in silence before the Lord in the morning. It is something that I plan into my routine; to spend 20 minutes with Him. I set the timer on my phone, so I can focus and not get distracted. During the prayer time, the Lord directs me to Psalm 130. It focuses my mind…

  • Be

    “Be still and know that I am God Be still and know that I am Be still and know Be still Be“ St Patrick This quote from St. Patrick is peaceful because when I read it slowly and sit with it awhile, it beckons me closer to the Lord. It is as if I am…
