7 Psalms for the Depressed Woman
Two years ago, I shared a series titled, “Hope for the Depressed Woman.” I received an overwhelming amount of messages and comments about the series.

Problems, Problems Go Away!
When it rains, it pours! Especially when it comes to problems in life. It never fails. Just as soon as one thing goes wrong, a series of difficult circumstances seem to follow. Ever been there?

For some it’s the loss of a loved one who seemed to hold the family together, for others it’s separation in a relationship that has held on for years. Perhaps it’s the words of a doctor that swirl inside your heart until you cannot handle another word. When life
Pray for Cyrus
Sometimes things in life happen that we cannot understand. When illness hits, it can be heartbreaking and terrifying all in the same moment. We try to be strong, press on, and make the best of the life that lies before us, but sometimes life seems to be put on hold while we wait for test results, reactions to medications and the doctor’s short-term and long-term plans.

The problems that filled our
