Christian Inspiration

Martha Williamson A Touch of Encouragement
Friday, November 20 2009 6:08 AM

A Definite "No" to a "Yes"

On a recent visit with her junior high school principal, Martha Williamson was reminded of a lesson she learned while in school that she still uses today: the art of presenting an idea with passion and commitment and expecting to hear "no" but preparing to hear "yes."

Christian Prayer of the Day

Prayer for Someone Who Is Dying

O God of resurrection, who raised Jesus Christ from the dead, we pray to you on behalf of all who are dying this day. May they know the comfort of your presence, the power of your love to give life even in the face of death, and the hope of your salvation. May they be blessed with the presence of family and friends to banish their lonliness and fears, the love of those who care for them to ease their pain, and the hope of always being remembered by those who they have loved. All this we ask through the one who died for us that we might live, Jesus Christ, our Savior. Amen.
