Three Prayer Truths: He Answered If you were going to pray a big prayer, what would you ask for? I know my next big prayer, and I know it is already answered. Yes, I know, this sounds lofty. But for the better part of seven months, my big prayer was for wisdom. I chased it like a madwoman. And while it sounds even loftier than the last statement, my prayer was answered. Here is what I won’t do. I will …
Recognizing the Truth I crave the truth. Most definitely, I want to recognize it the moment I see it. And yes, sometimes the truth is hard to face. Yet, I still want to be in the know.

No, I haven’t slept, and I do not care. Y’all, I just laughed out loud. I do not doubt, in this life of half-hearted belief, I have been sustained.
