Emails to God
Each weekday I transpose and share the whispers and messages God places on my heart in the form of “Emails to God”.

08/24 – Dear Lord; Sometimes Lord, Faith is hard. When it feels like the world is unrelenting in it’s attacks on us, and all that we see and hear around us is sadness and suffering it can stress the most committed of souls. What I’ve come to understand though, is that’s when we need Faith the most. Our Souls needs that two-way communication with you to heal, and to triumph. Amen. ~Phather Phil

08/11 – Dear Lord; As I’m sure you’re aware, I’ve been extremely stressed as of late, and have been feeling heavily burdened.
