I beseech Thee, O Lord, that the fiery and sweet strength of Thy love may absorb my soul from all things that are under heaven, that I may die for love of Thy love as Thou didst deign to die for love of my love.

Hi, I’m Carol. I gather prayers from saints across centuries and occasionally write about navigating modern struggles with faith.

Take the first step toward living a love that heals, restores, and transforms. This is the love that overcomes the world.
Every month, Carol shares new tools, fresh perspectives—straight to your inbox.
This book isn’t just about shining a light on the cracks within the church—it’s about healing them. It challenges leaders and congregants alike to wrestle with tough questions:
Are we creating a space where people feel safe sharing their deepest struggles?
Do we offer meaningful support, or are we too caught up in appearances to notice the pain behind the smiles?
How can we make the church a place of radical love and transformation for everyone—not just those who fit neatly into its expectations?
