God is patient, God is kind

It has been a long time since I have been sharing anything here but today I just want to remind all of us of the amazing grace, patience and love of our God. I was just listening to the worship song „Elohim“ by Hillsong UNITED and these lyrics once more touched my soul: „God is…

Of failure and love

I just got back from the most amazing Easter weekend in a non-denominational monastery. For the past three days I got to switch off my mobile and my head, enjoy  beautiful nature, singing birds, sunshine and most of all Spirit-filled services and prayer meetings. With special liturgical elements the brothers and sisters of this community…

How to pray when you have no words

I have been silent on this Blog for a while and not only here. I have these phases once in a while when I don’t feel like conversing, talking and expressing myself. And that also affects my prayer life. But how do you pray when you have no words? Does God need me to speak…

Be still and know…

Those of you who regularly read my blog might have noticed that I like going for walks. And as I just got back from another inspiring walk through Winter Wonderland I realized why I truly love them. When I walk, I can let go and just be. I feel the wind blowing in my face,…

My favorite Christmas light

So I just got back from a little walk through the neighborhood again and today enjoyed seeing all those Christmas lights in windows and yards everywhere. And as I am having a cup of coffee with some yummy German Christmas Cake (or “Stolle” as we call it ☺️) I am also surrounded by warm candlelight…

Empty Jars

I went to a wonderful Women‘s Conference today and would like to share one teaching that touched me and spoke right to my heart. It’s about a story from 2. Kings where a woman who had just lost her husband and is about to loose her two sons who are supposed to be taken from…

Martha, Martha…

Yesterday Jesus reminded me of one of the stories in Luke.  While I was busy, trying to get done all things on my long to do list, frustrated more and more that the day was almost over, I was still not done and so the time that I had wanted to spend with God was…

Be creative with God

Do you sometimes struggle to stay connected with God in your day? I do. I love Him, I know I need Him but still I sometimes get so distracted by all the busyness of my day that I completely forget about Him. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 tells us to pray continuously and without ceasing. But how…

Ask, seek, knock…?

The YouVersion Bible App’s daily verse of yesterday and today were Matthew 7:7 and Matthew 7:8 where Jesus says: ““Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one…
