Podcast Description
Do you ever feel like you're doing all the right things to heal — but nothing seems to change?

A Prayer When a Situation Seems Impossible - Your Daily Prayer - June 8
My wife has recently painted these words on a wall in our house as a reminder to us both: “Mightier than the waves of the sea, is His love for us!” (Inspired by Psalm 93:4). Please remember this. Mightier than the tempest you are facing is His love for you!
