How Formal Prayers Can Strengthen Your Faith
What’s your most common type of prayer? I use both conversational and formal prayers every day to keep me on track in my faith walk.

As a Christian, do you depend more on luck or faith? It’s St. Patrick’s Day, and you’ll likely see and hear phrases about luck in them. Do you believe in luck, even just a little bit?
I can’t say that I’ve felt much of a pull toward luck in my life. But I do like finding a $20 bill in my coat pocket or discovering that I get an unexpected refund. In my mind, the first thought is usually “I’m lucky today” rather than “Thank you, God.” That may have happened to you as well.
5 Perseverance Verses to Help You Press On
Are you looking to grow in perseverance to help you to press on through life’s trials? It’s such an important biblical virtue to have in today’s world. My faith has gotten stronger when I’ve had to persevere through difficult trials like marriage problems, work issues, loneliness, and relationship strains.
Today I’m hosting my friend Landen Melton, creator of Devotable, who will help us learn about perseverance from five important Bible verses. I’m blessed to write regularly for Devotable, and our new devotional book is on the topic of perseverance. You’ll find my devotion on perseverance in the book along with dozens of other Christian writers.
Here is Landen’s guest post, and I’ll share more information about the perseverance book below.
