Prayer Our Weapon

Prayer is essentially weaponized weakness.
No, prayer isn’t magic; it is expressed helplessness.
It is a verbalized acknowledgment of our own lack of power, of our own weakness. And it is in our weakness that God’s power is perfected.
--From The Gospel Project

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark

God's best work, most powerful work, is done in the dark places of our lives.
The darkness may manifest itself in times of depression, sickness, adversity, conflict, turmoil, pain and treachery.
The tomb was dark and hidden from the light, but as disciples grieved God was at work-in the darkness-bringing joy and hope back to life.
Don't be afraid of the dark.

Too Long

It's been too long since I've been active on this blog. I'm glad God is more faithful and dependable than I am.
I'll try to be more consistent with postings, whether anyone reads them or not. They'll be short. Hopefully an encouragement to other Outsiders like me.
