ABC Thanksgiving Prayer
It’s easy to be thankful when life looks good and things are going smoothly. We often like to say we are “blessed” in those moments.

The blessings we experience in the good old days quickly become a faint memory of God’s grace and we tend to focus on the problem in front of us.

When Life is Overwhelming and Strength is Gone
Sometimes the struggles of life take us under and sweep us away into unknown depths we have never experienced.
