Exchanging Minds with God

09/21/2026

Good word on Grace!

For a long time I believed I had to earn my worth. Climb higher, push harder, and maybe then I would finally be enough.

It is an exhausting way to live. There is always another summit, another test, another way you have fallen short. You never quite arrive.

The thing that finally set me free was grace.

Grace is the wild, almost unbelievable idea at the very heart of the Christian faith. That we are already loved, fully and completely, not for what we have achieved, but in spite of every way we fall short. That Jesus meets us exactly as we are, mess and all, and calls us friend anyway.

I did not have to become impressive for God to love me. I did not have to summit anything. I simply had to stop striving long enough to accept a gift I could never have earned in a thousand lifetimes.

And that truth changed how I see everyone else too. If I am loved like that, undeserving and all, then so is the person in front of me. It makes you gentler, slower to judge, quicker to forgive.

We are so hard on ourselves, and so hard on each other. Grace is the medicine for both.

Where in your life have you been striving to earn something that has been freely yours all along?

Time for a Heart Check

09/11/2026

Dear Lord,

It’s so easy to move along in life each day; just go with the flow people say.

But I want to know what you want me to focus on.

Help me to follow Your guidance, help me to line up Your priorities.

Help me to get on the right track today. Help me to keep my eyes on You.

My mind just goes and goes and goes -there are thousands of distractions, work, texts, social media, traffic, people.....

Help me to slow down.

Let me take a minute now to listen;

Is there a verse today for me?

Is there a name to lay on my heart today?

Is there something I should do?

Let me take a deep breath and close my eyes and focus.

Speak to me Lord. Guide me through my day. Fill me with Your Spirit!

Amen

Oh Lord, as we look forward to a long Labor Day Weekend,
We thank you for the blessing of work.
We ask for the strength to complete each day.
We ask for rest when we are weary.
We ask that employers respect their workers.
We ask that workers are responsible to their jobs.
We ask for guidance for those seeking employment.
We ask that you open opportunities for them.
Give them the courage and confidence to walk through those open doors.
We pray for small local businesses who are struggling: remind people to shop local and help build their community.
We also remember all those who work tirelessly every day behind the scenes.
We ask your blessing on those who we never see but who work for us all.
We thank you Lord that YOU are always working for us too.
Thank you Lord! Amen.
