For so many years, in the middle of all of the pain, it was difficult to picture an outcome that included my loved one being healed.
When our home was in upheaval, It was hard to imagine our home with peace and security.
But that is God’s desire for us and for our loved ones.
His promise is to bring healing into our lives.
And I will tell you that while we pray this over our loved ones He can give that to us LONG before our loved ones ever choose to change their lives. YOU are “His people.” You are the one today that he wants to bring health and healing to.
And one day, in His absolute perfect timing He will bring it to your loved one as well...
And you will be ready.
January 30, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Jeremiah 33:6 NIV [6] “ 'Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing.... I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security.
Oh Lord, we love you. And we trust you. Even when it hurts so bad, and it's so hard to believe, we trust the promises in your word. Lord, your word says YOU are our Jehovah Rapha, our great healer. And today we pray that healing over (our loved one). We believe that you alone have the power to make us whole. That you will heal (our loved one) and that you will allow (our loved one) to enjoy abundant peace and abundant security. We claim peace over (our loved one), we claim safety over (our loved one) and we claim LIFE over (our loved one). Lord, we thank you that according to your word it's already been done. Today fill us with that same peace and security to trust and not doubt as we surrender (our loved one) and give (him/her) to you today. We pray this in Jesus precious name. Amen!

He is Ready to do Miracles!
In the middle of the insanity, it's hard to trust...
You feel distant from God....
You are struggling with believing anything good will come from all of this....
And you simply want to do something to make it all better...
When the world tells you to do nothing, God in his wisdom gives us a guide for action. So here is your lists of “do’s” for today:
Trust in Him: He will keep you safe
Delight in Him (I mean radical joy!): He will give you the desires of your heart (He already knows the deep desires).
Commit your way to him (really commit - not just a little bit): You will shine like a star
And the most difficult of all...
Be patient: Watch and see the wild, amazing thing God will do in your life and in your loved one’s life.
Praying today that we can focus on God’s “to do” list for us. He is ready to do miracles!
January 29, 2025 Our Prayer for our loved one today:
Psalm 37:3-6 NIV [3] Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. [4] Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. [5] Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: [6] He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn…[7] Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him.
Lord, thank you that today you are a big God who can be completely trusted. As we trust in you we pray also that (our loved one) will trust in you and begin to do the right things so that (he/she) can live safely in this land. Lord we pray that (our loved one) will take delight in you and you alone. We know that as (he/she) begins to live for you, you will give (him/her) the desires of (his/her) heart. We pray that (our loved one) would commit (his/her) ways to you and that (he/she) would trust in you and walk in your will. We know that (our loved one’s) goodness will shine when that day comes. We pray for that day to come quickly, but Lord, we know that it will come in your perfect timing. We ask for patience and perseverance in the waiting. We lift up all of this in you son's precious name. Amen.

Come to Life!
During the height of the craziness in our home we forgot. We forgot a lot of things to be honest. But mostly we forgot about the power God has given us with our words. Romans 4 says that God calls into being things that don’t exist as if they do, that he gives life to the dead. And in Romans 8 it says that WE have that same power in us.
What are we calling into existence today? Do our words build up or tear down?
Is our tongue being used to speak life or speak death over our loved ones?
Are we giving power to the enemy by verbally putting our ugly, destructive fears out there for him to play on?
Today….when we speak, let it be words of life. Let’s call those dry, dead bones to live and breathe once again!
January 28, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Ezekiel 37:4-6,14 NIV [4] Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! [5] This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life[6] I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord. ' ” [14] I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord. ' ”
Abba daddy, we come to you today feeling desperate and powerless. We confess that at times our words and the meditations of our hearts have been a tool of death. We know through our words and through the gift of prayer we have the power of life. Today, we call into being that which doesn’t exist as if it does. Lord, we speak healing and life over [our loved one]. We ask that you would breathe your breath into [our loved one’s] very soul. We pray that the dry, dead bones of a wounded and weary spirit would be healed in your name. We pray that you would put a new and fresh spirit in [him/her]. Fill [him/her] with the oxygen of hope Lord, bring [our loved one] back home, to the life you have claimed to be [our loved one’s]. We eagerly wait in expectation for You to show us the power you have to bring dry, dead bones back to life and we give You all of this honor and glory in your Son’s holy name we pray. Amen

He is Faithful
Deliverance. A word so important that the BIble mentions it 246 times. God our deliverer.
You see...God delivered the Israelites from Egypt. God delivered Jonah from the belly of a wale. God delivered Daniel from the mouths of the lions. God delivered Shadrach, Mashach and Abednego from the fiery furnace. God delivered David from the evils of Saul.
And God delivered his very own son into the hands of the Romans so that WE could have a forever relationship with him. So that WE can have freedom from our captives. So that WE can have abundant life....and so that our children too, will be delivered from the oppression that entangles them.
Lord, thank you! Thank you that you are my deliverer. Thank you that you loved us so much that you sent your son to give us true freedom!
January 27, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:
2 Thessalonians 3:2-5 NIV [2] And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people, for not everyone has faith. [3] But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. [4] We have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we command. [5] May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.
Lord, we thank you and praise you that you are our Protector and our Deliverer. Lord, that you have delivered us from death to LIFE! Lord we pray today that (our loved one) would be delivered from the wicked and evil that surrounds them for we know that not everyone is faithful. But Lord we know that You are faithful and we ask that you would strengthen (our loved one) today and protect (him/her) from the evil one. Lord we have full confidence that You are with (our loved one) and that you know what you are doing and have a perfect plan for their lives! Finally Lord, we ask that You would direct (our loved one's) heart into Your perfect love and Christ's perseverance. We believe that through Christ's death these things have already been done! We pray this in Jesus precious name! Amen!

Nothing is Impossible
Not long ago I had the illusion that if I did something different, if I would have been different, if I controlled more or monitored more or played more or loved more...
that somehow I could do the saving.
But over the years I've learned that's not up to me.
There is only one that can do the saving and one who can asked to be rescued.
Scary to surrender.
But a relief to know the saving isn't up to me. And what was entirely impossible for me...Is entirely possible with God.
January 26, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Mark 10:26-27 NIV [26] The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?” [27] Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”
Lord, we come to you today humbled. Humbled because we've tried to do the saving and it just hasn't worked. Humbled because we realize that we don't have that kind of control or that kind of power. And humbled because we know the only hope for saving is through you. Lord, we believe in our hearts that You are the only one who can save (our loved one). And that one day, (he/she) will whisper "rescue me Lord." We recognize that without You, this is impossible, but with You ALL things are possible. Lord we thank you that You are able to bring about in (our loved one's) life what we can not. Lord we surrender (our loved one) to You. And we thank you for what you are about to do. We pray this in your Son's precious name. Amen.

The Foot of the Cross
Freedom...
it's is a funny thing...
You see, we can be "free." Able to move about, able to experience the liberties our country protects. Able to think and do what we choose. And we can be completely lost and in bondage!
And we can be a prisoner in chains, in the dirtiest filthiest jails and prisons, living in the worse conditions AND WE CAN BE FREE, truly free.
You see freedom is a condition of the spirit and soul NOT our external circumstances.
And the only way to be truly free is to surrender. To lay all of our rights and our expectations, our fears and our failures, our hurts and our anger.... To lay them all at the foot of the Cross.
Then you will truly be FREE!
January 25, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Galatians 5:1 NIV
[1] It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
Thank you Lord! Thank you that you love us beyond measure! Thank you that you had a perfect plan for each one of us to live freely when you sent your son. He was broken so we could be healed. Lord He came to set me free and He came to set (our loved one) free! Lord, my prayer today is that (our loved one) would embrace that freedom. I pray (he/she) would stand firm today and allow you to remove, once and for all, the yoke of slavery from (his/her) shoulders, never again to bear that burden. Lord, we praise you today for your power to break every chain! We pray this in Jesus precious name! Amen

Unmovable
One of the things I love about our home is the trees in our yard. We have two different kinds of very mature trees. One is an ash tree, which has a massive root system and those roots go down deep into the soul and tend to spread out very wide.
The other tree that we have is the pine tree. Pine trees don’t have very deep roots, therefore they are more susceptible to being uprooted by the elements. Not long ago we had a tremendous storm with extremely high winds. In the middle of the storm we heard loud cracks and bangs. Sure enough, one of the old pine trees in our back yard toppled over.
But the ash trees…
The trees with the deep roots…
They were unmovable.
Praying today that our loved one would become like that ash tree. That the small, positive seeds of faith would begin to take root. And they would grow and go deep into the soil of their hearts. And that one day nothing, not anything would be able to uproot their lives.
January 24, 2025 Our prayer for our Loved One today:
Jeremiah 17:7-8 TLB [7] But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and has made the Lord his hope and confidence[8] He is like a tree planted along a riverbank, with its roots reaching deep into the water-a tree not bothered by the heat nor worried by long months of drought. Its leaves stay green, and it goes right on producing all its luscious fruit.
Father God, thank you for Your word and that we can fully trust it. Thank you that You give us visions and pictures of what will come to be. Lord, today I will picture [our loved one] as You picture [him/her]. Lord we pray with our whole being that [our loved one] will come to trust in You and that [he/she] will find [his/her] hope and confidence in You alone. Lord we pray that [he/she] will become like a tree planted, with [his/her] roots reaching deep in Your truth and Your strength. We pray that [he/she] will become so solid and strong that nothing will succeed in coming against [him/her]. Lord, we believe that you have a calling on [our loved one's] life that you have a special plan and purpose for [him/her]. Lord we trust in that plan today. We wait in humble anticipation for it to come to pass. We pray these things today in Your Son's precious name. Amen

His Marvelous Grace
The yelling, the shaming, the anger, the chaos. The crazy things I’ve done on this journey in my selfish efforts to change my loved one.
The mistakes along the dusty path.
But there is grace.
My heart’s desire today is that I would become a better version of myself. Walking in love and overflowing with that marvelous grace.
And as I experience the unfolding beauty of all that He gives me, my hope is that I would reflect that to my loved one.
SO that he would experience the miracle of His marvelous grace.
January 23, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:
1 Peter 1:13-15 TPT
[13] So then, prepare your hearts and minds for action! Stay alert and fix your hope firmly on the marvelous grace that is coming to you. For when Jesus Christ is unveiled, a greater measure of grace will be released to you[14] As God's obedient children, never again shape your lives by the desires that you followed when you didn't know better[15] Instead, shape your lives to become like the Holy One who called you.
Almighty Father, we come before you today because you are holy and powerful and loving. We believe that your grace is greater than all of our failures and mis-steps. Lord, we pray on behalf of [our loved one] today, that even now you are molding and preparing [our loved one’s] heart and mind for the glorious unfolding in front of [him/her]. Lord, we pray that you would set [our loved one's] mind on the hope that your grace in Jesus Christ brings. We pray that [our loved one] would let go of the desires that come from living [his/her] old life, a life of pain and suffering. We believe that you have called [our loved one] to become like you in every way. We pray these words in the confidence that they will be full-filled swiftly. In Jesus Holy Name we pray! Amen

Beauty from Ashes
Sometimes we get so caught up in the trite sayings of "christianease." Like "all things work for good." And "Let go and let God." or "everything happens for a reason." I abhor those phrases.
Tell the mama who lost her son last night that all things work for good.
Tell the daddy who’s 18 year old daughter is shooting heroin to “let go.”
When we live with a loved one who is on a self-destructive path, we often live in the shadow of death and despair.
To be clear, death and disease and drugs and pain and grief....they were NOT part of God's plan. He didn't cause them. He didn't want this for His people. He wanted us to live a perfect life with Him at the center.
In the Greek text the word for broken-hearted is translated shattered soul. Thankfully His promise is to heal the shattered soul.
And He promises that while horrible things happen to us in this world He is able to take the ashes of grief and mourning and turn them into the beauty of joy and praise, comfort and hope.
January 22, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Isaiah 61:1-3 NIV [1] The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, [2] to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and ...to comfort all who mourn, [3] and provide for those who grieve in Zion---to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.
Abba daddy, we humbly come before You ready to receive the Good News that You have for us. We thank You that Your desire is to bind up the brokenhearted and to FREE (our loved one) and to release each of us from the darkness that exists around us. Lord, we proclaim Your favor over our life and (our loved one's) life and we receive the gift of Your comfort as we weep for (our loved one). Lord we accept Your comfort as we grieve. We rejoice in the coming day when you will bestow on us and on (our loved one) a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning and a garment of praise instead of despair, because that is Your perfect plan for us. And we exalt the day when (our loved one) will be called an oak of righteousness and (he/she) will stand before You whole and healed in ALL of (his/her) slender and glory. Lord, we receive today Your healing and Your faithful promises for our lives. In Jesus precious name we pray. Amen.

He Rescues
Res·cue: the act of saving [someone] from a dangerous or distressing situation.
Lord, I need rescuing today. Our people need rescuing today. Our country needs rescuing today.
And He does that. He saves us.
It may look today like you or your loved one is in an incredibly hopeless situation. But
He is right in the middle of doing the saving.
"By your mighty power you rescue."
Today I am going to choose to believe that He is at work and in the process of rescuing.
Today I am going to choose to believe that He will protect and cover all of loved ones in the shadow of His wings.
Today I will walk in hope.
January 19, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Psalm 17:6-8 NLT
[6] I am praying to you because I know you will answer, O God. Bend down and listen as I pray[7] Show me your unfailing love in wonderful ways. By your mighty power you rescue those who seek refuge from their enemies[8] Guard me... Hide me in the shadow of your wings.
Lord, we come before You today confident, because we know that you are a God that answers prayers. We pray that today You will bend down and listen as we pray. And I thank you that when [our loved one] cries out to you, you will bend down and listen to [him/her]. Lord, hear [our loved one's] whispers and groans. Show [our loved one] your unfailing love, Lord however that looks. Use the people and events around [him/her] to reveal yourself to [our loved one]. I pray that when [our loved one] does cry out to you that you will swoop in to rescue [him/her] with your mighty hand. Protect [our loved one] from the enemies that are trying to destroy [him/her]. Enemies like confusion, pride, anger, addiction, self-loathing. Lord, whatever [he/she] is facing today, we know that you are greater. Guard [our loved one]. Draw [him/her] near to You and protect [him/her] under the shadow of Your wings. Lord, we pray with confidence that these things will happen as you will them to and ask all of these things in your Son's precious name. Amen.

Do Not Be Troubled
The not knowing.
The empty chair at the table.
The obvious absence of our precious loved one.
A pain impossible to walk through.
And we can't without leaning on Him.
Remember, as hard as it is for us, it's unbearable for our Loved Ones. The distance. The separation. The alienation.
Yes, they can numb it, but when they wake up day after day in the same oppression, they feel restless and afraid and remorseful and dejected. And they don't know how to get out of that cycle.
Today I pray the giver of peace fills each of us with overflowing peace as we listen for that quite voice that says “I love you.”
January 18, 2025 Our prayer for our Loved One today:
John 14:27 "I am leaving you with a gift-peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid.”
Father God, you are the Prince of Peace. And you came to bring us the perfect peace that can only come from you. Lord, thank you for leaving us that gift. Peace of mind and heart. And I pray today that [our Loved One] would experience that gift in some small way. Through a touch, a smile, a sense that comes onto [him/her]. Lord, I pray that today [he/she] would look for that gift in You and not in anything the world can give [him/her]. And Lord, I pray that you would take any troubles, fear or anxiety and lift it from [our Loved One] today so that [he/she] can be completely filled to overflowing with Your peace!

He is Our Rescue
He came in alone...
Weary, tattered and worn.
He was weeping as he made his way to the altar, the only place where he knew he could find relief from his troubles. The only place he could be freed from his anguish.
In his distress, in his confusion, even in his altered state, deep in his heart he had the assurance that there was only one place to go for the rescue.
Praying today that our loved one would take refuge in the only one who can do the rescuing.
January 17, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Psalm 25:16-18,20,22 NIV
[16] Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. [17] Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish. [18] Look on my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins. [20] Guard my life and rescue me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in you. [22] Deliver Israel, O God, from all their troubles!
Father God, we come before you today expectantly, knowing you are working in our lives. Lord, we call out to you on behalf of (our loved one) this morning. Lord we pray that You would turn to (our loved one) and be gracious to (him/her) for (he/she) is lonely and afflicted. Lord, relieve the trouble of (our loved one's) heart and free (him/her) from (his/her) anguish. Look to (his/her) affliction and (his/her) distress and take this addiction away from (him/her). Guard (our loved one's) life and rescue (him/her). We ask that you do not let (our loved one) be put to shame and that (he/she) would chose to take refuge in you alone! Deliver (our loved one) oh Lord from all of (his/her) troubles. Lord, we ask this today because we know that you love (our loved one) and we won't stop asking until these things come to pass. In Jesus precious name we pray. Amen!

He Sees You
Hosea, the story of unconditional love. Of redemption. Of how even after this woman prostitutes herself and keeps going back to her old life, Hosea still loves her.
And it is in the Bible to show us about God's relationship with us. No matter what we've done, no matter how deep we are in the pit, no matter how lost we are...
God can find us, God can pull us out, God can transform us.
Because He loves us.
That is hope. And that is the promise that I cling to every day.
And as God continues to show us His unconditional love, by example we learn how to love others.
Today I pray that I will love my tribe the way God loves me.
January 16, 2025 Our prayer for Our Loved One today:
Hosea 14:4-5,7-9 NLT [4] The Lord says, "Then I will heal you of your faithlessness; my love will know no bounds, for my anger will be gone forever. [5] I will be to Israel like a refreshing dew from heaven. Israel will blossom like the lily; it will send roots deep into the soil like the cedars in Lebanon. [7] My people will again live under my shade. They will flourish like grain and blossom like grapevines. 8] ...I am the one who answers your prayers and cares for you. [9] Let those who are wise understand these things. The paths of the Lord are true and right, and righteous people live by walking in them.
Abba Father...we cry out to you today knowing that your heart breaks just as ours does. We pray on behalf of (our loved one) this morning. Lord, we pray today that you will heal (our loved one) of (his/her) unfaithfulness today because your love knows no bounds for (him/her) and we rejoice that your anger will be gone forever! Lord we believe today that You will be to (our loved one) like a refreshing dew from heaven, and that (our loved one) will blossom like the lily, (he/she) will send (his/her) roots deep into the soil like the cedars of Lebanon. Lord, I trust that one day (our loved one) will once again live under the protection of Your shade and (he/she) will flourish like grain and blossom like the grapevines. Lord, we rejoice that You are the one who answers our prayers and cares for us and (our loved one). We thank you that you have given us an understanding of these things. Lord, we KNOW that your paths are always true and always right and that we and (our loved one) will truly live by walking in them. Lord, we thank you for this promise today! In Jesus precious name we pray! Amen!

Let Him Wrap You Up
He knows.
He knows the burdens you carry...
He knows your pain...He has felt it.
He sees you.
Let him catch your tears today...
Let him breathe healing into your hurting, broken heart...
Let him wrap you up today with His love...
January 15, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Isaiah 43:1-2,4 NIV [1] But now, this is what the Lord says---he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. [2] When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. [4] Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life.
Heavenly Father, to be real God, our hearts are breaking today. The pain at times, can be unbearable. But You, You Lord are the one and only who can heal our hurting heart. Today we cling to your promises. Lord, because you created (our loved one), you formed (him/her) we need not fear. You have redeemed (our loved one). You have summoned (our loved one) by name and (he/she) is Yours! Lord we believe today in your promises that when (our loved one) passes through the deep waters, that You will be with (him/her) and when (our loved one) is drowning in the river of life, it will not sweep over (him/her). Lord we believe that even when (our loved one) walks through the fire, that You will protect (him/her) and not allow (him/her) to be burned. Lord, we trust that (our loved one) is precious and honored in Your sight and that because you loved (our loved one) so much you gave Your son, Jesus in exchange for (our loved one). You gave Him in exchange for (our loved one's) life. Lord, we are in awe of that sacrifice Lord. We do not take it lightly. And Lord, we pray today that (our loved one) would open (his/her) heart to see You in a very real way and (he/she) would understand in a moment, Your redemption and the abundant life you have waiting for (him/her)! We thank you for all you are doing in the heavenly realms that we can't see. We believe that you are at work in a mighty way. We trust in your deliverance today! We pray this in Jesus precious name. Amen!

I Place My Loved One in Your Care
Surrender...
It's a daily thing….
Sometimes a moment by moment thing…

Lord...I place my loved one in your care.
January 14, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:

One day I was sitting on my chair and I heard an audible voice say Isaiah 44. I know God can do this, but it had never ever happened to me. So I opened my Bible to Isaiah 44 and this was the promise that God gave me.
I have clung to that promise during the darkest of days. I have held tightly to the knowledge that my God won’t make a promise He can’t keep.
And I believe whether he says it out loud to you or not, His promises are for ALL of us. This promise is for you too. And when we are walking through the valley of the shadows, the ONLY thing we have complete assurance in is that His promises are true and for each one of us, for such a time as this.
Hold on today, my friends. God is always on time.
January 12, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Isaiah 44:2-5 NIV [2] This is what the Lord says---he who made you, who formed you in the womb, and who will help you: Do not be afraid, Jacob, my servant, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen. [3] For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants. [4] They will spring up like grass in a meadow, like poplar trees by flowing streams. [5] Some will say, ‘I belong to the Lord’...
Lord we honor and glorify you this morning knowing that you created each of us perfectly and wonderfully. We thank you for forming (our loved one) in the womb and for your desire to help (our loved one). We pray that you cast out all fear that (our loved one) may have today because You have chosen (him/her). Lord just as only you can poor water on a thirsty land and create streams of water through a dry ground, we believe that You will poor our Your Spirit on (our loved one) and rain blessings down on (him/her). Then (our loved one) will spring up like grass in a meadow, like a poplar tree by a flowing stream. We believe that in that moment (our loved one) will say "I BELONG TO THE LORD." We eagerly await that day and will not stop praying until it comes to pass. We thank you for your faithfulness and power in our lives. We pray this in Jesus Name! Amen.

He Will Show Us The Way
This morning you may feel lost and alone. Like you are walking through unknown territory. Like you are in a dark maze and keep running into walls at every turn.
I know that feeling so well.
But God says "I'll take the hand of those who don't know the way, who can't see where they're going. I'll be their personal guide!"
Our God loves you so much that He will personally guide when you don't know which way to turn. He'll keep you from going off the path and falling into the ditch.
Just reach out and take his hand. Trust Him. We don’t have to know the way, because
He will show us the way.
And I'm praying today that one day soon, our loved ones will look up and reach out and take His hand and let Him lead them out of the lies and confusion of their life.
October 10, 2025 Our Prayer For Our Loved One Today
Isaiah 42:16 Msg. But I'll take the hand of those who don't know the way, who can't see where they're going. I'll be a personal guide to them, directing them through unknown country. I'll be right there to show them what roads to take, make sure they don't fall into the ditch. These are the things I'll be doing for them— sticking with them, not leaving them for a minute."
Abba daddy, I need you today. I am walking through unknown territory and I am lost. I am scared. I feel alone. But Lord, I know that with you I am never alone. I know that you are right there to grab my hand when I don't know the way. And Lord, I am confident that when my grip gets weak, you, in your love, hold on tighter. Lord, help me today to trust you. And Lord, I thank you that you are always beside (our loved one). Lord, (our loved one) is in unknown territory and you promise that you will be right there with (him/her). Lord, show (him/her) the road that (he/she) needs to take. Lord, guide (him/her). Protect (him/her) so that (he/she) doesn't fall into the ditch. Lord, I know that you are with (our loved one). Thank you for your promise that you will stick with (our loved one) and that you won't leave (him/her). And Lord, I pray today that you will guide (our loved one) home. I pray this in your son's precious name. Amen

He Will Restore Them
"Because he rescues the poor at the first sign of need, the destitute who have run out of luck. He opens a place in his heart for the down-and-out, he restores the wretched of the earth. ...when they bleed, he bleeds; when they die, he dies.". Psalm 72:12-14 Msg.
He opens his heart to the down and out
He restores the wretched
When they bleed, he bleeds.
When they bleed, he bleeds.
He not only sees your loved one, he not only loves them, but He cares so deeply, loves so fully that when they suffer, He suffers with them.
And it says that He WILL restore them.
He's always at work my friends.
Never ever give up hope.

We Become Free
Freedom isn't a state of our physical circumstances, it's a condition of our heart and our spirit. We can be physically free, but in total bondage. And we can be in physical chains and experience total freedom.
Today I pray that we all step into the freedom that is ours when we fully rely on and trust the One who is truly in control.
When we surrender....we become free.
January 7, 2025Our prayer for our loved one today:
Isaiah 49:9 NLT [9] I will say to the prisoners, 'Come out in freedom,' and to those in darkness, 'Come into the light.'
Abba daddy, we come before you today because we know that you are our living water, our source of life and hope. That when all else feels like it's crumbling around us, you are holding us together. Lord, thank you that you desire freedom! Freedom for any of us who are sitting in the darkness today. Lord, I pray that you would plant a seed of desire in (our loved one's) heart today for freedom Lord, as (he/she) lives in the darkness. And we pray today that you will whisper into (our loved one's) heart "come into the light." Lord, we pray that today will be the day that (our loved one) would make that decision to step into the freedom of your light. Lord, we believe that you are at work, in our lives, in our loved one's life. Today we choose to trust you completely, knowing that you desire restoration for all of us. We pray these words today in your Son's precious name. Amen.
