Praying Scriptures With God Power

Prayer Thoughts were originally written for the Church's newsletter. They were written to encourage the members to use scriptures to expand their prayer language and to claim the promises written in the Bible.

God our Heavenly Father wants to have an intimate relationship with you. "He wants to lead you with cords of human kindness, with ties of love." Hosea 11:4

He says "I, the LORD your God am with you, I am mighty to save, I will take great delight in you, I will quiet you with My Love, I will rejoice over you with singing." Zephaniah 3:17

About the Author

Orva Lynn Kaufmann is a retired elementary school teacher. As an active member of the prayer ministry at First Lutheran Church of Gainesville, FL, she began writing Prayer Thoughts for the church newsletter.

Finding What You Need In a World Telling you What you Want

Stories of self-sabotage, imperfection, and perfect, amazing grace.

These stories pack a punch!

 In her collection of personal, stand-alone essays, you will not only be entertained by her colloquial, quirky style, but surprised by the truths revealed. Putting her “quirk to work,” she blends humor and depth. This easy, transparent read will appeal to anyone looking for a little downtime. You will end up not only with that, but so much more.

Key themes are seizing the day, humanity, grace, faith and messages from a higher power. Some of the true-life stories are downright hilarious, and a few are piercingly poignant, revealing old truths with fresh insight. Mostly they are about receiving understanding in the nonsense, epiphanies in unexpected places, redemption in everyday life. She shows that revelation from above can come many ways—a gardener’s humble truck, an overlapper on a plane, a subway musician, a little boy who needs his button buttoned, a self-inflicted black eye. The more you believe it’s possible, the more it is.

If you dig a little in an average day, you too can find the golden nugget—and don’t we all need that?

They now reside in Richmond, Virginia. Kim loves being a wife, mother, and now grandmother!

Activating Women for Global Impact 

Visiting India years ago, Dr. Sharon Predovich noticed that national ministers addressed her as Mom. This also proved true in Africa and Asia, and happened so often that it caught her attention. The term Mom sounded so personal and endearing when bestowed on a mere visitor to their nations. Searching the Scriptures, Dr. Sharon noticed the phrase father of nations and wondered if mother of nations was also mentioned. She found her answer in Genesis 17:16 when the Lord said to Abraham concerning Sarah, his wife, I will bless her and also give you a son by her ... and she shall be a mother of nations. Through the Word, the Holy Spirit started to speak to Dr. Sharon about the spiritual need of the nations, Sarah s call, and the importance of spiritual mothers and fathers working together to produce leaders in God s kingdom and effect global impact. The conclusions of this Spirit-led journey make up the contents of this book. May you be blessed by this revelation, but more importantly, may you be spiritually awakened and activated to walk in this pivotal role yourself!

One of the most awkward things about growing up is learning to communicate with the opposite sex. What is she thinking? Why did he do that? Teen guys and girls know they often don’t understand the opposite sex or know how to talk to one another.

Communication is a key tool in life. We interact with words, gestures, and movements. The devotions in Girl Talk Guy Talk give insights that focus on different aspects of teen life to help both guys and girls better understand and communicate with the opposite sex. Various styles of devotions, including stories, checklists, quizzes, fact-based news, text messages, and skill-building tips will encourage and equip young girls and guys to understand how the opposite sex is wired and how to best relate with them.

My Unlikely, Unavoidable Story of Becoming Free

What if you knew all the moments of my past that I am not proud of? What if you really knew me, the messy parts that I’ve hoped to forget and worked hard to conceal? For so long, my greatest fear was what you might think of me if you only knew the whole story.
 
It’s exhausting, this guarding of our stories and struggles. Fear of being found out had caused me to hide—but I wasn’t just covering my flaws, I was unintentionally blocking the beauty of God’s grace. My journey to real freedom began when I quit running from my mess and started trusting Jesus to make something beautiful of it. 
 
This book is that story. It’s stepping out of shame and insecurity into gospel freedom. It’s  letting God turn our failures and frailties into testimonies of His faithfulness. I’ve discovered that when we quit hiding, God gets the glory and we are able to fully embrace not only our relationship with Him, but also with one another.
