It's so easy to get in a muddle and we want to cry 'Get me out of here' when our circumstances become overwhelming.  However, there is a way through the mass of media communications that confront us each day. We can so easily mishear something…

Promptings

, ,
The Holy Spirit is a prompter.  He nudges, advises, teaches and guides us into the action that God wants. I've had experiences recently of God doing this to me.  When I've forgotten something, he suddenly reminds me about it.  When I've overlooked…
