What's on your heart? (Prayer in the age of anxiety)
“Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.”…

Glorious Presumption
David's plea for deliverance in Psalm 30:9 appeals to a glorious presumption: how much God would lose if he lost him. "God, if you let this thing take me, you're gonna miss me." It's this bedrock certainty of God's love that he brings with him out of the pit, out of sheol, and into the redemption...
