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

life or your loved one or what everybody likes, but what I do know is what means the most to us as humans. So here we go.
