Spare tire or steering wheel?

Sometimes I wonder why we treat prayer like a spare tire.

Something we keep tucked away… hidden… only pulled out when life breaks down on the side of the road.

When tire blows.

When the plans fall apart.

When the weight becomes too heavy to carry alone.

Only then does it seem like we reach for prayer.

But prayer was never meant to sit in the trunk of our lives.

Prayer is meant to be the steering wheel.

Something we hold onto tightly everyday — letting God guide every turn, every road, and every mile of our journey.

We hold our phones in our hands like it’s about to be taken.

So why can’t we hold on to prayer like we hold our phones?

1 Thessalonians 5:17 [KJV] 

“Pray without ceasing”

Don’t treat prayer like a spare tire you can only reach for in emergencies.

Hold onto it like a steering wheel.

Let God guide the direction of your life, not just rescue you when the road breaks down.

Trauma

Trauma? We always talk about Trauma. But have actually and I mean actually gone through Trauma ? I mean Jesus literally had 9 inch nails in his hands and feet he was whipped he’s flesh peeling from his body he went through it all and for what?? He went through it so we could have everlasting life also mind you he is half man so he’s felt everything we humans feel yet he still died for us . He never said “ oh I’m sorry I can’t because of my trauma NO he went on yes we have trauma I will never deny that but if we just call upon the Lord Jesus Christ for Strength,Guidance,patience,wisdom,reassurance. Will I look at trauma a little bit differently now yes of course only because my own trauma WILL NEVER compare to his .  Verse to this message is  Philippians 4:13  For I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me..  Written by- Kat Marshall

When Faith Feels Quite

                      When Faith Feels Quite  What do we do when Faith feel's quiet? do we go astray or do we stay quiet, calm in the storm? Sometimes it’s hard to stay grounded when life tries to shake your Faith. But we always have the Lord Jesus Christ. He will never leave us nor forsake us he says that in the Bible (Hebrews 13:5) KJV. He never promised that life would be easy. Life is hard. Sometimes nothing seems to go right. But Jesus is ALWAYS there- even when it feels quite.we are called to trust him. To believe in him. To lean on him. So I’ll tell you this, my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ- pray, pray, pray 🙏. It’s the most powerful thing you could ever do. We may not have immediate answers. We may not see results right away. But they always come in time. We may grow tired and weak- and that’s normal. Rest, my dear friends. Lay your worries, stress, emotions at the feet of Jesus. Breathe. Let yourself melt int...

Why does faith come to a dead end?

 Why does faith come to a dead end ? We all wonder why our faith sometimes fizzles out. But why do we let it happen? We go to church and feel that wonderful pull— the urge to as God to forgive us, to draw closer to Him. We attend regularly… and then one service, something comes up. We don’t go. Then it becomes,” I’ll go next time.” And before we know it, we’re stuck in a vicious cycle. But why do even let it get that far? There is spiritual warfare. God allows test to see what we will do. Sometimes we pass. Sometimes we don’t. And the enemy? He wants nothing more than to pull us away. Let’s be honest— time is running out. The stronger our faith becomes, the closer we grow to God — and the more the enemy will try to attack. That’s why we must stay rooted. Stay church. Stay in community. Church friends matter. When we feel like we’re slipping away, they can help pull us back. We are saved by grace through faith — not by something shallow or temporary.  So what is our purpose? Ou...
