Yes, I was singing that Amy Grant style! Bing back the synthesized keyboard…
Is there a verse you’re clinging to through this season? Are you memorizing something? I say, “You’re kingdom come, on earth as it is in Heaven.” because sometimes life feels so sad and messy, I lose hope.
But this verse that Jesus told us to pray like him, actually asks us to pray for a glimmer of heaven here on earth. The miraculous complete satisfaction in Christ so that we stopped numbing ourselves with things, power, booze, approval, entertainment.
What will that be like?!
The miraculous healing of all sickness, Lord, please bring this to earth! The miraculous Peace where Lion lays with the Lamb--these 2 opposites living in unity. Lord, bring this slice of heaven here on raggedy earth!

This has been my daily wake up verse for so long. It set my mind and heart right, that this day is a gift and His mercies are new every morning.
Surely goodness, surely mercy walk beside me all my days. And I will dwell in your house forever and bless your holy name. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for you are by my side. Psalm 23.
As a mama with a 6 month old, scripture songs are saving my life right now. Having them played over us in our home brings the benefit of also having them be secretly tucked away in our hearts. I am a big fan of Shane and Shane’s version of Psalm 23 right now
