The Battle is Real

Have you ever struggled with something over and over again until it just felt like you’d never be free from it? Yeah, me too. I found myself in that all so familiar place again in the wee hours of the morning. I woke up, and for the life of me could not go back to sleep. I couldn’t go back to sleep because my mind was racing with thoughts that brought me riddling with fear.

The Messes We Make

Have you ever prayed for something or someone so long that you think, “My prayers will never be answered?” I imagine that’s how Abraham’s wife, Sarah, felt. God promised Abraham in Genesis 15 that He would bless him with children, but when Sarah still could not conceive, she took matters into her own hands and gave Hagar to Abraham. So, as a result of Sarah’s mistake, we ended up with Ishmael. Although later she believed when she hears God tell Abraham that she will conceive in her old age.
