Love Never Fails

Today, may you grasp how much he loves you.

He loves you fully. He loves you in the heaviness, the fear, the doubt and the resignation.

And as he loves us, so we are called to love fully in the messiness of it all.

Because love never fails.

June 20, 2026 Our prayer for Our Loved One today:

1 Corinthians 13:7 ESV [7] Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Merciful Father, we come to you today knowing….knowing how much you love us. Knowing how much you believe in us. Knowing how much you desire that each one of us step into the fullness you have for us in this life. Lord we ask that you would give is the strength to bear up under the load we are carrying, the imagination to believe the goodness of heaven on Earth today, the power of hope in the restoration of our family and the perseverance to endure any struggle that comes our way today. We pray for [our loved one] today. [He/she] is carrying a boulder that is far too heavy for [him/her]. Give [him/her] the strength to bear up under the weight of all that [he/she] is carrying today. Lord, we ask that you will fill [our loved one’s] mind with the dreams and visions for [his/her] future that you have given [him/her] so [he/she] can begin to walk in that truth. We pray that you would fill [our loved one’s] heart to overflowing with the hope that only begins to well up as a result of your love. And we ask that you would fill [our loved one’s] spirit with the determination to endure through the struggles, knowing that just beyond this mountain [he/she] is climbing are your streams of living water. Lord, we know that love never fails. Lord, we receive this gift from you today and pray these things in your holy name. Amen.

Do Not Fear

He hears our cries sweet friends. He listens to our pleas, even from the depths of the pit.

And He is whispering in your ear today....

"Do not fear. I will redeem your life. I will redeem your loved one's life."

No one is too lost to be saved.

That is the hope we walk in today.

Lamentations 3:55-58 NIV [55] I called on your name, Lord, from the depths of the pit. [56] You heard my plea: “Do not close your ears to my cry for relief.” [57] You came near when I called you, and you said, “Do not fear.” [58] You, Lord, took up my case; you redeemed my life.

Father God, you are our defender Lord. You guard us and protect us. Today (our loved one) is in the pit. Lord, we pray that (he/she) will call on Your name from the depths of the deep, that dark hole they are encased in.

He Will Rescue

The chords of death…”I don’t want to live this way, but I don’t know any other way to live.”

The overwhelming hopelessness…”There is no way out.”

The cry for help…”Save me. Free me.”

When we cry to him....

He will reach down and take hold of us.

And he will set us in a spacious place.

His promises never change. Hold on, this pain will end.

He Hears Your Prayers

Some days are just hard...

Expectations unmet, dreams shattered, lives and hearts broken into a million pieces.

And in the middle of all that we try so hard to find some glimmer of light, some glimmer of hope.

And this is the only way that we can walk through this...this promise.

That He is always closest to those that are broken.

Let Him dry your tears today.

Let Him wrap His loving arms around you and comfort your deepest pain.

And try, try to remember that they are aware as well, they are in pain, they are suffering and they are broken, shattered even. They feel guilt. They feel remorse. Somewhere deep down they know they have ruined your Christmas. So pray this for them. Don't let the pain win.

God hears your prayers for them. God sees their brokenness. And He WILL heal them in his perfect time.

Light Always Shines in the Darkness

No doubt yesterday was difficult for you.

It may have felt as if you were completely alone.

Or maybe you were surrounded by people yet there was chaos and strife.

But as you were there….

So was God in the middle of it all.

And even though it may have felt hard and dark…

Where there is God, there is light.

And light ALWAYS shines through the darkness.

Praying today that His light would lead them home.

June 12, 2026 Our prayer for our loved one today:

He Won't Stop Until He's Finished the Work

You may feel forgotten by God today. You may feel like He is not paying attention or that He doesn't care.

He does. And He sees no-one as small or insignificant.

Not one of our whispered cries to Him go unnoticed. And He won't tire, He won't quit, He won't stop until He's finished His work in us and in our precious loved ones.

Set You on a Solid Rock

Right now...

You may be in a pit so deep that you can see nothing but darkness around.

It may be so tight around you, you can hardly breathe.

There is no pit so dark that he can’t find you...

No pit so deep that he can’t pull you out...

With a simple whisper...

“Save me Lord”

He will reach down, lift you out and set your feet on a solid rock.

He will do that for you; he will do that for your loved one.

June 7, 2026 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Psalm 40:1-3 NIV [1] I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. [2] He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. [3] He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him.

The Shining Armor of Light

Not long ago during one of our ministries church services, I met a young man named Dragan. He was just 23. I asked him if I could pray with him and he said "Not yet." So we engaged in conversation. I asked him why he didn't want me to pray with him.

I wanted to know his story.

He said he had been kicked out by his parents at 14 or 15 and hadn't seen them since. They are gypsy's and he has no idea where they are. He was living on the streets, living hard with addictions, felonies. Said he had been sober a couple of years now. 7 years ago he walked away from the Lord and had been wearing black ever since. The black signified death and darkness, the pagan god that he followed. He knew about God but thought he was too bad for Him. He felt like he had done far too much wrong for God to love him or to take him back.

I talked to him for over a half hour. I told him that God loved him and that nothing, NOTHING that he had ever done was too much for God to forgive. I told him that even though his parents had abandoned him, God never ever would. Tears streamed down his face.

At the end of our conversation I asked again if I could pray with him. He said yes, please. After we prayed his entire countenance changed. Tears where streaming from his eyes and to me, it seemed his face was shining. I asked him if he was ready to go from wearing his dark clothes (the clothes of death) to wearing white clothes (the clothes of light). He said yes.

The next day, I went out and bought Dragon a light colored jacket. But I never saw Dragon again. And while I would love to see him, I trust the encounter I had with him that day was a divine appointment and that in some way, God changed him. God certainly changed me.

You see my friends, you never know what God will do, who He will bring into your loved one's life to love on them, to minister to them, to pray with them, to help them move from bondage to freedom. But our prayers get the soil ready. It's why we have to keep praying. It's why we can't lose hope.

June 6, 2026 Our prayer for our loved one today.

Romans 13:12-14 NLT

[12] The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living. [13] Because we belong to the day…[14] ….clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Oh Father, we come before You today with anticipation and excitement over the work that You are doing in (our loved one’s) life! We believe that the night, the dark times are nearly over for (our loved one) and that the day (he/she) says “Yes Lord!” is almost here! We believe with confidence that very soon and in Your perfect timing (our loved one) will put aside (his/her) deeds of darkness, all that is holding (him/her) back in life, and put on the armor of right living! Lord, we pray that (our loved one) would understand that (he/she) belongs to YOU, to the light, to the day and we eagerly anticipate the day when (he/she) comes before your presence to live for you! We CONFIDENTLY claim these promises today in Jesus Powerful name! Amen!

Rescue Me!

They put on this tough exterior. They seem unbreakable.

Even though our loved ones put on this tough "I don't care about anything" act, they are dying inside and they know it. They live in a cycle of guilt and shame. They tell themselves every time they engage in self-destructive behavior, it will be the last time and when they engage in it again and again they have failed in their minds.

Their identity becomes that they are a failure.

And I think they are crying, just crying for help. Silent screams that they think no one hears.

Rescue me! RESCUE ME!!!!

And I KNOW to that we have all cried these words too. We are hoarse from our pleas.

These words....Lord, rescue them today. Don't look the other way. They are hurt and in pain. Come close and get them out of this mess they are in.

But he hears our cries and he will answer. He is always on time and one day… one day our loved ones will sing a new song!

June 5, 2026 Our Prayer for our loved one today:

Psalm 69:1,3,6,13-14,16-18,29-30 MSG

[1] God, God, save me! I'm in over my head, [3] I'm hoarse from calling for help, Bleary-eyed from searching the sky for God. [6] Don't let those who look to you in hope Be discouraged by what happens to me...[13] And me? I pray. God , it's time for a break! God, answer in love! Answer with your sure salvation! [14] Rescue me...Don't let me go under for good, Pull me out of the clutch of the enemy; This whirlpool is sucking me down. [16] Now answer me, God , because you love me; Let me see your great mercy full-face. [17] Don't look the other way; ...[18] Come close, God; get me out of here. Rescue me from this deathtrap. [29] I'm hurt and in pain; Give me space for healing, and mountain air. [30] Let me shout God's name with a praising song, Let me tell his greatness in a prayer of thanks.

Lord, we call out to you today in desperation. We confess that we struggle at times with questions. With unbelief. With a lack of faith. But Lord, we believe that your desire is that not one, NOT ONE of your children should parish. Abba daddy, save (our loved one). (Our loved one) is in over (his/her) head. We know (he/she) is tired and hoarse from crying out for help, weary from searching for you God. We look to you for our hope, Lord. Encourage us by answering our cries for (our loved one). It’s time for a break for (our loved one), answer us in love. Answer us with a sure rescue of (our loved one). We ask that you pull (our loved one) out of the clutch of the enemy. (He/she) is getting sucked down, sucked in. Rescue (him/her) today, because you love (him/her). Let us see your great mercy full-face today! Come close to us. We are hurt. We are in pain. Lord, give us all space for healing. Even in the pain we shout your name and praise you because of your great love. Lord, we believe today in your power and strength. We pray this prayer in your son’s precious name. Amen

Darkness to Light

I think almost every person who has ever struggled with addiction or depression or anxiety or has walked through the dark valley and is on the other side, would read this and say...yes!

This was my experience.

He will meet us in our deepest anguish when we cry out to him...

He will rescue us from the deep waters...

And He will bring us to a spacious place, a place of a kind of freedom that we could

have never imagined.

He turns our darkness into light.

June 4, 2026 Our prayer for our loved one today:

2 Samuel 22:7,17-18,20,29 NIV [7] “In my distress I called to the Lord; I called out to my God. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came to his ears. [17] “He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters. [18] He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me. [20] He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me. [29] You, Lord, are my lamp; the Lord turns my darkness into light.

Lord, today we call out to you on behalf of (our loved one). Lord hear our voice, hear our cry for (our loved one). We pray that you reach down from on high and take ahold of (our loved one); Draw (him/her) out of the deep waters (he/she) is in. Lord we believe that You have the power to rescue (our loved one) from (his/her) enemy, from the strongholds that have overcome (him/her). Lord, we ask that you bring (our loved one) into a spacious place; Rescue (our loved one) so that (he/she) may delight in You. Lord, you are our lamp. We pray on behalf of (our loved one) that You will turn (his/her) darkness into light. In Jesus name we believe that these things will come to pass. Amen!

Glory Strength

I was taught as a young person to be self-sufficient and to persevere. It was one of my strengths. I was told I was dogmatic and when I set a goal I rarely fell short.
But when addiction hit our family, I soon realized that I could have been Ironman or Wonder Woman and still would not have had the strength on my own to handle the mayhem that was my life.

We soon came to the realization that there was only One that could restore us to sanity.

When we've tried everything we can to do this on our own, and we fail again and again, we come to realize that our strength isn't enough.

When we do, it is then that we are able to surrender and ask

God to fill us with His strength, the glory-strength that only He can give us. So we are then equipped to stick it out for the long-haul.

The kind of strength that can endure the unendurable and spills over into JOY!

Praying this for us.

Praying this for our loved ones today.

May 29, 2026 Our Prayer for our Loved One Today:

Colossians 1:9-12 MSG [9-12] Be assured that from the first day we heard of you, we haven't stopped praying for you, asking God to give you wise minds and spirits attuned to his will... We pray that you'll live well for the Master, making him proud. As you learn more and more how God works, you will learn how to do your work. We pray that you'll have the strength to stick it out over the long haul---not the grim strength of gritting your teeth but the glory-strength God gives. It is strength that endures the unendurable and spills over into joy, thanking the Father who makes us strong enough to take part in everything bright and beautiful that he has for us.

Father God, we intercede today on behalf of all of our loved ones. We cry out today for those who are in the throes of an addictions or oppression, those who are choosing the hard work of recovery and all those who are struggling day to day as they walk through a dark valley. Lord, we will not stop praying for [our loved one]. We ask that You give [our loved one] a wise mind and spirit attuned to Your will. We pray that [our loved one] would choose to live well for You, making You proud. We pray as [our loved one] learns more and more about how You work and about doing Your work through [his/her] transformation, that [he/she] would stick it out for the long-haul with the strength that endures the unendurable and spills over into JOY. Lord we pray [our loved one] will overflow with thanksgiving for You, who makes us strong enough to take part in everything bright and beautiful that You have ready for [him/her] in [his/her] life! We believe that [our loved one] has an amazing future in You, Lord. We believe this will happen for [our loved one] and look forward to that day. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen!

We Pray As If

One of the journeys God has taken me on through all of the challenges over the years has been to see things like he sees them. To see PEOPLE like he sees them. To see the value in every single person that I meet. To radically accept and love others without judgement. Jesus did that. He hung out with all the outcast of his time.

And the hardest people to do that with our the ones closest to us. The ones that hurt us. The ones who disappoint us.

So how do we do that? How do we see them like Christ sees them?

We pray.

We pray scriptures over them that change our heart towards them. And we thank God for these beautiful ones we call sons and daughters, husbands and wives, moms and dads, sisters and brothers. And we pray exactly what we want to see.

We pray as if.

The Miracle of Hope

oday, no doubt, you are suffering. Life would be hard regardless, but our current circumstances create even more hardship.

In the middle of the muck and the difficulties and the ugly, it's really hard to see when or how or where things are going to end. Hard to visualize things getting better. Hard to picture things different. Hard to imagine our loved one free and healthy and living in abundance.

Right now there is a lot we don't know. Much we don't understand. And yet, truth says that faith is believing in what is unseen. That in God's perfect timing we will "see."

These verses promise us that we WILL share in His glory. And after this time of suffering...

He will restore them.

He will support them.

He will strengthen them.

And he will place them on a firm foundation.

So we can look down the road and choose to look at the future in one of 2 ways. Either the way it is now or the way we believe God will have it be in his perfect timing.

That is the miracle of hope.

May 25, 2026 Our prayer for our loved one today:

1 Peter 5:10 NLT [10] In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation.

Lord God, You are all loving, all powerful and all kind. And in Your amazing kindness, you have called (our loved one) to share in Your eternal glory through your son Christ Jesus, who died for us. Lord (our loved one) is suffering. (He/She) is hurting. Lord, we believe Your promise today that (our loved ones) suffering will end and at that glorious time You will restore, support and strengthen (our loved one). You will place (him/her) on the firm foundation of Your love and grace and mercy. Lord we believe this promise today. We pray with confidence that this will come to pass in your perfect timing. In Your Son's name we pray. Amen

A Future Filled With Hope

I was sitting with a woman in prison last night and we were talking. She was struggling to visualize her future knowing that she had failed so many times. But this was the first time that she was transitioning with faith support. I said "what do you know about God? What is the truth?" She wasn't sure. And I said, "Jer 29:11 says this...that God has great plans for you. He's already determined them in advance.

And those plans are for peace, for prosper and for a future filled with hope!"

Sweet friends, that is His plan for all of us. He has a plan for you, in spite of your circumstances. He has a plan for your child in spite of their current condition. And our job is to keep the promise of hope in front of us and keep praying it into our lives and our loved one's lives.

May 24, 2026 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Jeremiah 29:11-13 NIV [11] For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. [12] Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. [13] You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Lord God, we THANK YOU that you created us all perfectly and wonderfully. You created (our loved one) and you know everything about (him/her). And Lord I believe that you have a perfect plan for (our loved one). A plan to prosper (our loved one) and not to harm (him/her). Lord, Your perfect plan is to give (our loved one) hope and to give (him/her) a future. Lord, I pray that (our loved one) will call on you today, that (he/she) would come to you and pray to you because we know that You will listen! Lord, we pray that (our loved one) will seek you with all of (his/her) heart and that when (he/she) does we will rejoice because you will answer! Lord, thank you for this amazing promise for (our loved one) today! We claim this in Jesus precious name. Amen!
