Elisha is an Old Testament prophet, and God performed many mighty miracles through him. He healed Naaman of leprosy (2 Kings 5), raised a dead boy back to life (2 Kings 4), and stopped the Aramean army from doing violence (2 Kings 6). But in the midst of these stories, we also read about some [...]

It doesn't matter when you pray. It can be early in the morning or the middle of the night. It can be on a good day or a hard day. It doesn't matter when, God hears you no matter what. . It doesn't matter where you pray. You can be at work or school when [...]

A fragment. A shard. A useless bit of glass. A piece among many. Split from the mass. Silenced. Alone. No comfort in sight. An endless abyss. As dark as the night. A yearning. A desire. A never-ending prayer. For comfort. For calm. For someone to care. A piece among many. Split from the mass. Silenced. [...]
