Beeda Speis’ daily devotional-type posts which often include her thoughts and feelings on a certain subject. Each post features a Bible verse of the day and suggestions for prayer.
Each week, beginning on Monday, she chooses the main theme and finds related Bible verses which she shares in her FaceBook prayer group, Pray In The Stillness (formerly 7th Hour Prayer Power). Come along beside her to pray together on a specific topic, need, or group of people.

In the week leading up to Christmas, you’re probably expecting me to talk about Jesus’ birth, or the meaning of Christmas, but not this year. I know too many people who need our prayers this week. Let’s be the prayer warriors that I know we are. Last Friday I asked for you to pray for

Reports about these storms and the ones over the past weekend were using words like “record number,” “unprecedented,” “historic.” I didn’t even think about the fact that these are December tornadoes. We should be

I always feel so encouraged when I read David’s words of faithfulness. Like in today’s passage when he writes, “Teach me Your way, O Lord, And lead me in a smooth path,…” (Psalm 27:11). Twice he says, “Wait on the Lord.” (v. 14). It’s an important reminder especially when we’re suffering. God will “strengthen your
I don’t really have any words right now. I can’t imagine what these people are going through, how they’re managing. Today’s Bible verse is a great reminder that this earthly home is just temporary housing, and our forever home can never and will never be destroyed. Bible Verse of the Day For we know that

The death toll is
