Make Prayer Beautiful

I'm not there yet, but I've at least started the journey!

And also a bit about the positive aspects of disagreement (who knew this was a thing?!).

What do we picture God is doing in our lives and the lives of those around us?

A short course on hearing God's voice. If you want the full five-hour teaching (highly recommended!), go here: https://praybig.me/fourkeys 

Some practical ideas, spanning homeschool and business.

Which is to say: it's okay to be optimistic about more than dentistry!

Principles of management, leading a home (or a business, or yourself), and what N.T. Wright said about the creeds.

And the process of getting to that point.

Navigating a nostalgic day with prayer … one of the more out-of-the-box prayers I've prayed.

A lot of practice hearing God's voice quickly. To get your copy of the Vision Board Book (usually restricted to purchasers of the Identity Album, go to this ugly link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZThLsSsLiXaseDc-ss1Fgtuo4zOtAWKI/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=115225401307517505983&rtpof=true&sd=true

A few thoughts on the importance of our words.

If you want to know more, send an email to [email protected], and I'll send you my report!

A bit of wrestling through what the Word of God means. 

A few thoughts on the challenges of women in ministry in the 21st Century. Oof. Not an easy topic.

Along with a bit on meditating on the word. And … you are invited! Watch this free training! https://happybooks.me/fourkeys  

The need for grace to cover our sins, for wisdom to know how to follow Jesus well, and rebuking the religious spirit.

Another perspective as I continued processing.

A humbling experience of a wrong (?) word.

And a rising up, wailing sensation, wondering about intercession.

The blessing of a prayer in a specific spot, at the right time.

A little testimony of growth! Sometimes we see evidence! Thank you, Lord!

Two possible ditches to fall into … an interesting perspective.

At the end of a long season of travel and impartation … one of the most critical things I've noticed.

Includes one of my favorite stories to demonstrate that impartation actually does something.

How did Jesus react when he came to sickness? How did Paul deal with his infirmities? What does it look like to keep praying in hope? A few different thoughts.

A powerful time of prayer after feeling soiled by the things of this world.

Theological deep waters.

A few thoughts for when the journey grows long.

One direction I would definitely not go, and a few additional suggestions. (I really like this one! I forgot what I said, and it blessed me to go back through it later!)

True confessions by Amy Lykosh … and Bob's wise words of peace.

A prayer when there is a real threat of impingement. A good prayer for the last day of October … or any day there is a sense of foreboding or threat.

Is it possible to force someone to like poetry? I'm not sure it is. So maybe let the boxes be, until they're ready to let go.

So insidious, to have that veil come down. (Lord, clear away everything that's not of you!)

Thinking about possible healing of the womb … some general thoughts.

I can't explain it, but it was centering.

I've been wrestling with this for years … now, I think, broken free.

What to call the Lord? How long to pray?

Some guidelines, based on the sweet practice of a Hospice nurse.

External evidence of growth! And a shout-out to Brain Highways: https://www.brainhighways.com/

It's okay to keep working something, even when the middle feels messy.

A powerful visual to emphasize that what we say matters.

Rental car, where to leave extra food, location for a timely arrival … the Lord knows what we need before we ask.

Not competing with men on "masculine" terms, but as women, using our own strengths and abilities?

Trying to process a confusing moment. (The answer, as always, is obedience.)

A testimony of hearing God's voice in a surprising, intense way … so good!

The seer gift is beautiful, but so are other options.

How to encourage 650 to practice prophesying? How to end a conference so people depart with an impartation?

A beautiful testimony of praying for a city. And the Prayer Refresh Expansion: https://happybooks.me/expansion

In a year with more elections globally than any other year in history, I appreciate this insight.

Oh, Lord! Your ways are so challenging!
