<p> For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.  We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this &hellip; <span class="more-link"><a href="https://beckycrenshaw.com/2020/07/20/30-days-of-deeper-day-29/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span></a></span></p>

<p>Thursday night, I broke. I melted down into a puddle of tears talking to Brent. My breakdown was quite unexpected, if I am being honest. It wasn&#8217;t ONE thing that overwhelmed me to the point of crying, but just the chronic weight of all the things. And I snapped under the heaviness. Covid everything.

<p>I admit that I haven’t yet acquired the absolute fullness that I’m pursuing, but I run with passion into his abundance so that I may reach the purpose that Jesus Christ has called me to fulfill and wants me to discover. 13 I don’t depend on my own strength to accomplish this;  however I do have &hellip; <span class="more-link"><a href="https://beckycrenshaw.com/2020/07/17/30-days-of-deeper-day-26/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span></a></span></p>

<p>This morning, I am already in a tug of war. Upon waking, I am battling my thought life and hearing the enemy whisper lies to me. Trying so hard to convince me that I am not a good enough mom. Not a good enough friend. Not a good enough wife. Not a good enough Christian. &hellip; <span class="more-link"><a href="https://beckycrenshaw.com/2020/07/16/30-days-of-deeper-day-25/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span></a></span></p>

<p>When you were little, did you play the game Memory? The classic flip-card game where children lay out all the cards facedown and flip them over two at a time to make a match. The player with the most matching pairs of cards wins.  I loved this game as a child and when my boys &hellip; <span class="more-link"><a href="https://beckycrenshaw.com/2020/07/15/30-days-of-deeper-day-24/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span></a></span></p>

<p>Today, I give you the best gift I can dream up&#8230;. SCRIPTURE! And SCREENSHOTS! Yes ma&#8217;am!  These images will save to your phone and fit PERFECTLY as a phone wallpaper. The words should not be wider than your screen. So any time, day or night, you have a fresh word with you.

<p>I have discovered this principle of life &#8211; that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. I love God&#8217;s law with all my heart. But there is another power within that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is &hellip; <span class="more-link"><a href="https://beckycrenshaw.com/2020/07/13/30-days-of-deeper-day-22/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span></a></span></p>

<p>Yesterday, I felt stuck. As if I keep going round and round in the same spot&#8230; not moving forward. Not going backwards. Just round and round and round. Coming back and back again to the Lord with the same issue. To a goal-oriented person who methodically moves from point A to point B in all areas &hellip; <span class="more-link"><a href="https://beckycrenshaw.com/2020/07/11/30-days-of-deeper-days-2021/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span></a></span><

<p>“Forget about what’s happened;     don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new.     It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it? There it is! I’m making a road through the desert,     rivers in the badlands.&#8221; Isaiah 43:19 I could not sleep last night. I tossed. I turned.

<p>In the midst of all that has happened in our world since Covid and later the racial injustice surrounding us, the Lord has continually brought me back to this passage. Isaiah 58. Not that there is a simple answer, because there isn&#8217;t, but WITH ALL MY HEART I do feel the solution to the injustice &hellip; <span class="more-link"><a href="https://beckycrenshaw.com/2020/07/09/30-days-of-deeper-day-18/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span></a></span></p>

<p>I am convinced that every house has a room where that when you aren&#8217;t sure where something should go, you put it in &#8220;there&#8221;. Am I right or am I right? This room within our home has been &#8220;my office&#8221;. Or is it the music room? Or should we call it the living room?  But &hellip; <span class="more-link"><a href="https://beckycrenshaw.com/2020/07/08/30-days-of-deeper-day-17/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span></a></span></p>

<p>Recently, we&#8217;ve talked much about regret and past mistakes that leave us shaking our head in embarrassment.  That old self of ours sure could cause a scene, couldn&#8217;t she? But when we renew our minds and surrender our lives to Christ, we get a brand new slate and, even though we will fail, we fail &hellip; <span class="more-link"><a href="https://beckycrenshaw.com/2020/07/07/30-days-of-deeper-day-16/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span></a></sp

<p>Recently, the Lord has been gifting me with a Scripture every single morning before my head lifts off the pillow. As I have been writing everyday here, I had to shoot straight and ask Him for as much anointing as He thought I could handle. In committing to this 30 Days of Deeper, I certainly &hellip; <span class="more-link"><a href="https://beckycrenshaw.com/2020/07/06/30-days-of-deeper-day-15/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span></a></span></p>

<p>Happy Fourth of JULY weekend!  Since 1776 we have celebrated our Independence from Great Britain with Barbecue, Fireworks and the Star Spangled Banner!!

<p>“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that &hellip; <span class="more-link"><a href="https://beckycrenshaw.com/2020/07/03/30-days-of-deeper-day-12/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span></a></span></p>

<p>When the Holy Spirit controls our lives he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  gentleness and self-control; . Galatians 5:22-23 This is a common verse for most of us&#8230;. but my prayer is for us to read it with FRESH eyes today.

<p>It was just a random weekday at Sam&#8217;s Club. My then, very young, Grant and I were pushing our way in an oversized shopping cart, browsing all the bulk. Bulk crackers. Bulk eggs. Bulk butter. Everything that day was oversized and only a card-carrying club member got in on those deals. Grant couldn&#8217;t have been &hellip; <span class="more-link"><a href="https://beckycrenshaw.com/2020/07/01/30-days-of-deeper-day-10/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</s

<p>Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.  Psalm 42:5 Years ago, I visited a counselor friend and we were talking about the unfortunate circumstances surrounding my life. Many situations were painful and quite mountain-like in size &#8230;.  my &hellip; <span class="more-link"><a href="https://beckycrenshaw.com/2020/06/30/30-days-of-deeper-day-9/">Continue reading <span class="meta-na

<p>&#8220;Lead me in Your love to those around me.&#8221; This line was the first I heard upon opening my eyes just now. Literally, messy head still on my pillow, these nine words. &#8220;Lead me in You love to those around me.&#8221; A short verse from a song I knew, but couldn&#8217;t place.

<p>&#8220;I strongly suspect that if we saw all the difference even the tiniest of our prayers make, and all the people those little prayers were destined to affect, and all the consequences of those prayers down through the centuries, we would be so paralyzed with awe at the power of prayer that we would be &hellip; <span class="more-link"><a href="https://beckycrenshaw.com/2020/06/28/30-days-of-deeper-day-7/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span></a></span><
