From my devotional reading this morning:

“But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. “When you pray, don’t babble on and on as the Gentiles do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. Don’t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him!”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Your prayers matter.
How you pray matters.
What you pray matters.
Your. Prayers. Move. God.

As I read these verses this morning, I am reminded that what is done in the quiet places, are my best and most intimate prayer and conversation times with my Father. I am also aware that my prayer life is strengthen by who God is, and, Whose I am.

The day has arrived…

Today, February 23, 2026, is the start of a new season for Linda.

Her long-awaited surgery for a total knee replacement.

She has been in so much pain and discomfort, that she has been very limited in her mobility, but you all know Linda, she has tried to “power through” the pain. There comes a time when it’s time to let go of the control we think we have and release God’s power within each of us to let Him guide us to the right doctors, the right wisdom-filled decisions, and His perfect timing.

I am asking for prayer for Linda and her recovery. For smooth transition to a walker, for physical therapy, which will start Thursday, and for her to find the comfort she needs during this next “many-week” process of recovery. Also pray that I will be the best “helper” that God has blessed me to be, and to have an overflowing “attitude of gratitude” every moment as we take every “one-day-at-a-time, one-moment-at-a-time” step as it is presented for us.

I really hate the fact that we all need to go through pain in order to gain what God has planned, and I know that it all comes with a purpose… the elimination of self-reliance and the gain of reliance on Father God…

We appreciate and covet your prayers and your encouragement during this journey.

Love you…
