Walk Boldly With Jesus

Can I Still Make Plans While I’m Waiting on God? Proverbs 16:9 “The human mind plans the way, but the Lord directs the steps.” The title of this episode is a question I think we've all asked ourselves at one point or another during our wait. Waiting for the answers to our prayers can take a very long time, and we can get stuck in the trap of thinking we can’t make any plans until our prayers are a...

Today’s guest speaker is my good friend Nancy. Nancy was the leader of the prayer group when I first joined and has been a great mentor to me on my faith journey these last 4 years. She will be witnessing this week about a prayer she prayed for a very long time. A prayer that seemed to go unanswered for many years. I think we all have those prayers we feel God doesn’t hear. Nancy’s witness provide...

Hope in the Waiting - Day 26 - The God of Hope Romans 15:13 “ May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” The God of hope- what a great way to refer to the Lord.  He is the God of hope.  All hope can be found in Him.  I like the thought of God filling me with joy and peace as I tru...

Your Prayers Are Never Wasted 1 John 5:14–15 “And this is the boldness we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have obtained the requests made of him.” I love this verse because God is reminding us that we can trust Him. He reminds us that if we ask anything according to his will, He hears...

Hope in the Waiting - Day 24 - Can I Still Have Joy While I Wait? Habakkuk 3:17-18 “Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.” Talk about a bad day.  This verse is from a ti...

Hope in the Waiting - Day 23 - Praise While You Wait Acts 16:25-28 “About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.  Suddenly, there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once, all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose. The jailer woke up, and when he saw the...

This morning, on Witness Wednesday, I have my friend Crispina. I met Crispina through the Watchmen Prayer Group. It is a prayer group of women that meet on Wednesday mornings at 6:30 Eastern time on Zoom. We pray together, we praise the Lord and worship together, we listen for any words the Lord would like to share with us, and we share how the Lord is working in our lives. This morning, Crispina...

Hope in the Waiting - Day 22 - Thank God Before The Answer Comes Psalm 3: “Lord, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me! Many are saying of me, “God will not deliver him.” But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high. I call out to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy mountain. I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because t...

Don't Give Up—God Is Still Working Jeremiah 30:7 “Alas! That day is so great there is none like it; it is a time of distress for Jacob; yet he shall be rescued from it.” What a great promise from the Lord!  Our God is so amazing.  He acknowledges that it was a time of great distress for Jacob, and yet He says Jacob will be rescued from it.  How many of you really need to hear t...

Hope in the Waiting - Day 20 - I Waited and Waited and Waited Psalm 40:1 “I waited and waited and waited some more, patiently, knowing God would come through for me. Then, at last, he bent down and listened to my cry.” My friend gave me the verse above, and I instantly loved it. I love that it captures our reality at times, and it also really captures the love of the Father. Sometimes, we feel lik...

Hope in the Waiting - Day 19: What Do I Do While I Wait? Psalm 43:3-4 “Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling!  Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.” I love the idea of the Lord leading us with His light and His truth.  What I like most...

Today is Witness Wednesday, and this week I want to share the witness of someone who shows us that you don't have to live a long life, do something spectacular, or have everything figured out in order to become a saint. His name is St. Carlo Acutis. His feast day was just a couple of days ago, on October 12, and I thought this was the perfect opportunity to talk about his life and the incredible w...

When You Don't Understand What God Is Doing Isaiah 40:31 “They that hope in the LORD will renew their strength; they will soar on eagles’ wings; They will run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint.” This is a message that I have been receiving a lot lately.  The part where it says they will run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint.  I feel that God wants us to know that he i...

What If The Answer Is No? Isaiah 55:8-9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.   “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” This is a verse that can bring us comfort in difficult times.  It is also one that can be frustrating at times.  It can be fr...

Hope in the Waiting - Day 16- When Everyone Else Gets Their Miracle  Matthew 11:6 “And blessed is he who takes no offense at me.” This is a tiny sentence in a great big bible. You may have heard it many times before and not even noticed it because it is so small. Also, you may have heard it and not understood what it meant. This has definitely happened to me before. I have read something, and...

Hope in the Waiting - Day 15 - How Do I Know Whether to Keep Asking or Let Go?  Luke 18:1-8 “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. “He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my...

Hope in the Waiting - Day 14 - What If God Seems Silent Isaiah 49:14-16 “ But Zion said, ‘The Lord has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me.” Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palm of my hands; your walls are ever before me.” I like this verse because it remin...

Hope in the Waiting - Day 13 - Waiting Is Not Wasted Time Isaiah 40:31 “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint.” This is a great verse. I love the imagery of soaring on eagles’ wings and running and not growing weary. I would love to tell you that if you hope in the Lord, you w...

Hope in the Waiting - Day 12 - How Do I Keep Hoping After Years of Waiting?  Romans 4:18-21 “In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations; as he had been told, “So shall your descendants be.”  He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or when he considered the barre...

Hope in the Waiting - Day 11 - Obeying God Before It Makes Sense Hebrews 11:7 “By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family.  By faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith.” My friend Louise was leading a prayer group on Thursday, and she did a teaching on Hebrews 11.  As she was ta...

Hope in the Waiting - Day 9- One Small Step of Trust at a Time  Psalm 56:3-4 “But in the day that I'm afraid, I lay all my fears before you and trust in you with all my heart. What harm could a man bring to me? With God on my side, I will not be afraid of what comes.” Today, I decided to read from the Jesus Calling Devotional. I have not done that in a while; I am unsure why. For those of you...

Hope in the Waiting - Day 8- When You're Tired of Waiting  Psalm 138:7-8 “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve me against the wrath of my enemies; you stretch out your hand, and your right hand delivers me. The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.” I read this verse at a pr...
