Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray.
Walls
Walls aren’t just used to isolate. Walls can be painted on with pretty pictures. They can conceal what’s going on behind them.
Something I’ve been struggling with lately is what feels like two-facedness. And I think I’ve been struggling with it for a while. Growing up in the church, I was always known as the “goodie-two-shoes”, the “innocent one”....

How often do I forget that it is a command and treat it as an option?
