Hi, and welcome to the Five Word Prayers Daily, a five day a week, daily devotional where we share the word, prayers, and our heart.

I'm Lisa Whittle, and I welcome you to just five minutes with me, which I trust and pray will be five minutes well spent.

Hi, friends, I hope you're listening with some morning coffee, maybe still in your warm hoodie, or wait, are you on your way to work? I know we've got listeners of all kinds, and that

So today, here's what you said the benefits to you have been in setting boundaries.
