Countless times, I’ve been in stressful situations where I felt I couldn’t handle circumstances on my own. I needed help. “Please help me, Lord,” has been uttered from my lips numerous times. Truthfully, I have almost felt sort of guilty with the simplicity of my prayer. Should I have taken time to construct a more eloquent speech with my prayer request? Psalm 119:86 kjv says, “All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.” When I read David’s simple prayer, “Help thou me,” I felt a peace that my own simple, heartfelt pleas have been adequate at overwhelming times when I simply didn’t know what to pray,…

Three Pitfalls of the Proud
Most of us have been subjected to dealing with prideful people at one time or another. Sadly, being around a proud person is truly a negative experience. We do see much HARM caused by prideful people in today’s society, but PRIDE has always been around since the creation of Adam and Eve. It’s important that we keep our own pride in check. I do believe pride is a potential PITFALL for every single person. Our human flesh can be very susceptible to pride, but with due diligence we can watch out for those red flags and squash the pride in our life before it causes a terrible destruction for us.…

Let’s Leap, Let’s Leap!
Did you know that LEAPING is a biblical activity? It’s amazing the challenges that you and I are able to LEAP over by the grace and help of God. He gives us the power and strength to do what we cannot do on our own. With God’s help, you can climb over those steep mountains. You can traipse through those huge obstacles. You can pass over the solid, brick walls in front of you. With God’s help, you can! David said in Psalm 18:29 (kjv), “For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.” The definition for LEAP is “to jump…
