If we think about it just for a minute, of all the ways Jesus could have taught His disciples to begin their prayers, He chose those very words: “Our Father” (that’s Matthew 6.9) as a starting point. That’s where we go every day. Was that random?
Growing up, we were not allowed to speak negatively, nothing came out of our mouth negative. My mother taught me not to think that way. We have to teach ourselves not to be that way, because when the enemy can win our mind…
I want to read a Scripture over you today, as we’re really stopping and thinking about being thankful. Honestly, there might be some of you that are like, “girl, I don’t have anything to be thankful for.” And I want to say…
This is a message we all need to drink in: it’s ok not to have it all together. How many of you feel like you have to have it together all the time? Like you can’t ever show weakness, or anything that’s not positive…
Isn’t that beautiful? It just makes us think about all the seasons the Lord gives us. That’s one of the many cool things about being in Ohio, we have all the seasons. To think about pulling out the pumpkins and getting the cider on the stove and the trees changing- it’s just a wonderful time to know that God is such an amazing artist, isn’t He?
Comparison is the thief of joy. This is one of the messages God has given me the mandate to tell the body of Christ because social media has changed the landscape of life.

“I was just talking to my friend, Larry, about what it’s like when your parents sojourn to glory. My mom sojourned when she was way too young back in 2005, and then my dad passed away this past May, and I had the honor and privilege of being right there with both of them when they passed to glory. I just encourage you, when you’re with someone in their final hours, to just speak life over them, sing to them, stroke them…just help usher them from this world to the next glorious world, beautifully.” ~Lauren Kitchens
Do you have a group of friends you can sit around with and talk about the things of the Lord? If not, start praying for that, because it’s amazing how much you can learn from each other and support each other just by doing life together. Until then, enjoy this wise and insightful conversation between CeCe Winans and a group of her friends.
