"I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord. But the married man is anxious about worldly things, how to please his wife, and his interests are divided. And the unmarried or betrothed woman is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit. But the married woman is anxious about worldly things, how to please her husband. I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord."

~I Corinthians 7:32-35 (ESV)

God's Word:
The Gospel of Luke

The Gospel of Luke is a well-documented recording of the steps, acts, and Words of Christ during His entire time on earth from birth forth. God is working in my heart to increase my hunger for His Word, so I am excited to be walking alongside Jesus and to observe what He does and what is important to the most-important being--our God and Savior.

I am also excited to revisit some things by which I have been provoked by in this Book of the Bible, such as those laid out in this four-part series:
The Four Woes of Luke 4

A Praying Life
by Paul Miller

"Just another book on prayer--what we should be doing that we're not." Okay, so that was my honest, first reaction to hearing about this book. But as I have begun to dive in, I am finding it to be quite that.

This is an honest, real, down-to-earth, and most-relatable book. You begin by putting aside the guilt that often keeps us from simply admitting our struggles and stating what our thoughts are on prayer. Prayer can be great, and it can be frustrating. This book meets people on all plane of the field of Christian practice and is the best reading I've experienced so far on the topic!
