Let my life be a reflection of His truth….

Leave a comment

There’s something sacred about being honest, with ourselves and with God.
So often, I come to Him with polished prayers, hoping to impress, afraid to expose the messy places. But God isn’t looking for performance, He’s looking for presence. He doesn’t ask for perfection, He asks for surrender. When I bring God my real fears, my doubts, my confusion, my anger, even my silence, I am giving Him access to heal, to speak, and to transform. Today Lord, help me to walk in your freedom.

When the Roots Rot: A Spiritual Wake-up Call.

Leave a comment

Not long ago, I noticed one of my plants wilting, even though the soil was damp. I thought it needed more water, but the more I gave, the worse it got. When I finally pulled it from the pot, I saw the real issue, root rot. Hidden below the surface, the roots were mushy, dark and dying. It hit me, this is how our spiritual lives can also look.

We may appear fine on the outside, smiling, showing up and serving. But beneath the surface, something may be decaying. Old wounds we never dealt with, unforgiveness, burnout, unhealed trauma or disconnection from God. No matter how much “watering” we do, it won’t fix the root. Sometimes, God invites us to pause and dig deeper. To pull up what’s dying, expose it to His healing light, and let Him replant us in truth and grace.

If your spirit feels tired, don’t ignore the signs. God is not here to shame you, He’s the gentle Gardener, ready to restore what’s been hidden and hurting.

Lean into Him and let Him do the deep work. Let Him heal your roots.

Jehovah Rapha…the Lord who heals.

Leave a comment

There are moments in life when we carry pain so deep it feels impossible to express. It may be physical pain, emotional wounds, or the invisible ache of a broken heart. But in the midst of it all, there is hope, and His name is Jehovah Rapha, The Lord Who Heals.

When I say, “God is my Jehovah Rapha,” I am declaring my trust in His power to restore what has been lost, to renew what feels broken, and to bring peace where there has been chaos. Even when I don’t see the change right away, I rest in the promise that He is working in me, around me, and through me. 

If you’re walking through a season of pain or uncertainty, I invite you to whisper His name: Jehovah Rapha. Let that truth sink into your heart. You are not forgotten. You are not beyond healing. The God who heals is near, and He is faithful. – denise marie

Trusting in Gods timing…

When I don’t have all the answers, I’m learning to rest in the one who does.

His timing, His ways and His love are enough. – denise marie

My healing journey…

3 Comments

I’ve been battling some anxiety, and I’ve realized that walking outside and praying has given me some relief. I didn’t plan for it to become my refuge, but it has.

One morning, when the heaviness felt unbearable, I put on my shoes and walked. I didn’t know where I was going only that I needed to move. I found a trail near my home, and as I stepped into that quiet space surrounded by trees and sky, my soul instinctively whispered a prayer. At first, it wasn’t anything profound, just a desperate, quiet “God, please help me.” And He met me there. Something sacred happens with each step, I feel like I’m leaving behind the pressure, the overthinking, the fear. My breath slows down, my thoughts soften and my prayers become less about begging for relief and more about being held.

      The Holy Spirit is the very presence of God within us. Let Him lead. Let Him renew. Let Him fill every empty space. There is power in His presence, and peace in His voice.

      I declare today: I am no longer a prisoner to pain, to fear, to shame or to anything that is not of You. I choose healing. I choose peace. I choose freedom. – denise marie

          Today, I choose to slow down and to be present with God. His presence is inviting me to breathe deeper and to simply be at peace. – denise marie

          the art of simply being…

          The brush doesn’t judge,

          it just moves,

          gently, like grace.

          I am not rushing the healing, 

          I am holding space

          for the parts of me

          still learning how to be present, 

          the art of simply being

          and letting that be enough.
