Freedom.
Freedom 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!
July 4, 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

He Makes Us Beautiful
The valley of the shadow…
Difficult times for all of us right now.
Yet, as followers of Christ, we believe that this Earth isn't our final stopping point. And we long for the day when wholeness comes to each one of us.
However these words say that we don't have to wait for that transformation. It can happen right here, right now.
Through His power.
Are we waiting to die to live?
That is not his plan for us. His plan is that he can make us beautiful and whole today.
I have experienced this. Through the brokenness I am not the same person. In the shattering, I have been remade. I have been “put together” as I should be.
And I will not stop praying for this to happen to each of us today.
July 1, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Philippians 3:20-21 MSG [20-21] But there's far more to life for us. We're citizens of high heaven! We're waiting the arrival of the Savior, the Master, Jesus Christ, who will transform our earthy bodies into glorious bodies like his own. He'll make us beautiful and whole with the same powerful skill by which he is putting everything as it should be.
Abba Father....You are a good God. A God who hears us and who delights in us. A God who longs to give us our hearts cry. Lord today agree in prayer that there is so much more to life for us then our minds can comprehend. And so much more life in store for [our loved one] because you have called [him/her] a citizen of heaven! Lord, through the power of Jesus Christ, we believe that you will transform [our loved one] from the image [he/she] is right now, into your glorious likeness. We believe that you will make [our loved one] beautiful and whole by the powerful skill you posses to align everything as it should be. You are in the business of transformation and we believe that even now this transformation is taking place in each of us who whisper Your name. We call this into being through prayer in Your son's precious name. Amen!

Sing to the Lord
Sometimes we get so caught up in the ugly, that we don't see our loved ones the way God sees them.
But they are precious. They are a gift. They are beautiful in his eyes.
And God sent His own child to be sacrificed so that our loved ones could be saved. So that they can experience abundant life on this Earth and eternally.
Thanking God for that promise today and praying this will be the day our loved ones will whisper "save me."

Let them know how mighty he is! [5] Sing to the LORD, for he has done wonderful things. Make known his praise around the world.

Here Am I
As we struggle through each day, God is right there, wanting to wrap his arms around us and tell us how much he loves us and that he is fighting for us and our loved ones.
That is the promise.
The promise of breakthrough! The promise of healing! The promise of guidance, of meeting our needs, of strengthening us and of triumph and joy! Oh how we all long for those things in our lives. How we long for those things in our loved one’s life.
So today as you pray this prayer, take heart in this…
When you call...
He will answer;
When you cry for help...
He will say: Here am I.
June 29, 2025 Our Prayer for our Loved One today:
Isaiah 58:8-9,11,14 NIV [8] Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard[9] Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I[11] The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs and will strengthen your frame....14] then you will find your joy in the Lord, and I will cause you to ride in triumph!

Weep No More
When we cry for help...
He will answer us.
When we go through hard times...
He is right there with us.
When we wander and are lost...
He will say, “Here is the road, follow it” and guide us back to him.
THAT IS HOPE.
June 28, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Isaiah 30:19-21 19 You people who live in Jerusalem will not weep any more. The Lord is compassionate, and when you cry to him for help, he will answer you. 20 The Lord will make you go through hard times, but he himself will be there to teach you, and you will not have to search for him any more. 21 If you wander off the road to the right or the left, you will hear his voice behind you saying, “Here is the road. Follow it.”
Oh Heavenly Father, fill our lungs with your breath today. Help us to fix our eyes on you alone. We trust your word when it says that your people will weep no more. Abba daddy, comfort us. Dry our tears. Because we know that you are a compassionate God and when [our loved one] cries to you for help you will answer [him/her]. We know that you have allowed [our loved one] to go through these hard times so that [he/she] would find the end of [himself/herself] and reach out to you. We trust that you will be with [him/her] to teach [him/her] and that [our loved one] will not have to search for you any more. We ask that as [our loved one] wanders off of the road you desire to have [him/her] on, you would walk with [him/her]. Lord, as a shepherd guides his sheep, we pray that [our loved one] would hear Your voice gently calling to [him/her] "here is the road, follow it" and [he/she] would chose the path of life. We pray this in your Son's holy name. Amen

Deep Roots
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.
June 27, 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

I Called...He Answered
He hears you…
He hears the hurting and wounded crying out, desperate to be saved from the darkness that enfolds them.
He hears the cries of our loved one's struggling, dying and literally one whisper away from being saved, yet unable to say the words.
And in these verses we hear the story of redemption. Of a rebellious, stubborn, unfaithful man who was running from God. In his struggle, in the depth of his despair, he finally cried out and said “Lord, save me.” And he was delivered.
When things seem hopeless, when they can’t always cry out on their own behalf, we have one line of defense that is ALWAYS effective...
It is our prayers.
And God hears you. He hears your pain-filed pleas. And when you call He will answer.
June 26, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Jonah 2:2,6-7,9 NIV
[2] He said: “In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me. From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help, and you listened to my cry[6] ...But you, Lord my God, brought my life up from the pit[7] “When my life was ebbing away, I remembered you, Lord, and my prayer rose to you, to your holy temple[9] But I, with shouts of grateful praise, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the Lord.’ ”
Father, we join you today, this moment, interceding on behalf of [our loved one]. Lord, [he/she] is sitting in darkness. [He/she] is in a pit that [he/she] can't see [his/her] way out of. Lord, we pray that in [his/her] distress [our loved one] would cry out to you and you will answer [him/her]. We agree that you alone can bring [his/her] life out of the hole [his/her] is in. As [our loved one's] life is ebbing away I pray that [our loved one] would remember you Lord and that a prayer would rise from [his/her] lips to your Holy temple. I believe that soon shouts of grateful praise will come from [our loved one’s] lips and [he/she] will cry "Salvation comes from the Lord!" Lord, I trust your word to be truth and I wait in excited anticipation for these things to come to pass. We pray this in Jesus name today! Amen

His Light Will Lead Them Home
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 25, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Isaiah 9:2 NIV [2] The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.
Lord, you call into being things that never existed as if they did. Lord, we thank you that You can turn our children's hearts to you with a whisper. Lord, we pray today for (our loved one). Lord we believe that today, even though (our loved one) is walking in darkness (he/she) will see YOUR great light. Thank you that your light will dawn and shine down on those living in deep darkness. Lord, you are the light that will move (our loved one) from death to life. Lord we thank you in advance for this truth to come to pass. We pray this in Jesus name today! Amen.

Walk In Faith
Right now...
Right this minute...
God is working behind the scenes to make this happen. We don't know how and we don't know when. But, because of this precious promise we can be assured that there will be a time...His perfect time, when this WILL happen.
When He WILL give them a heart to know Him. And they WILL become His people. And they WILL return to Him with all of their heart.
Today I will choose to walk in faith and joy because I believe this truth.
June 24, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Jeremiah 24:7 NIV [7] I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart.
Abba father, we come before you today humble and contrite. Our desires are so simple. Life for us. Life for our loved ones. Lord we pray today that you would give (our loved one) a heart to know You.

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.
June 23, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Psalm 139:13-14,16,24 NIV [13] For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. [14] I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. [16] .....all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. [24]....lead me in the way everlasting.
Lord we come before you this morning with praise and thanksgiving. Because we know God that nothing you do is a mistake. Lord, you created (our loved one's) inmost being; you knit (our loved one) together in my womb. Lord I praise you because (our loved one) is perfectly and wonderfully made! All of your works are wonderful. We believe that and know that full well! Lord, we believe that all of (our loved one) days were ordained for (him/her) and were written in your book long before they will ever come to be. Lord we believe that you have a special plan for (our loved one). Lead (him/her) in the way everlasting today Lord so that your plan can be fulfilled. We ask this with confidence in your perfect will! In Jesus Name we pray! Amen!

Wait Patiently for Him
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!
June 22, 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.

He Delivers
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.
June 21, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Psalm 34:4,6-7,18-19 NIV [4] I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. [6] This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. [7] The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. [18] The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. [19] The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all;
Lord, thank you that you hear our cries and are close to us when we are broken into a million pieces. Lord, we pray this morning as well that you would stay close to (our loved one) who is brokenhearted and that you will deliver (him/her) from all of (his/her) fears. Lord, we ask today that (our loved one) would call out to you and that you would hear (him/her) and save (him/her) from all of (his/her) trouble!

God With Us
Yesterday....
A day that for so many of you may have been crushing. A day filled with unmet expectations and dreams that did not come to pass for your family.
Another day of prayers yet to be answered.
Yet we rejoice in the power of the cross.
We are pressed but not crushed.
We are perplexed, but not despairing.
We are persecuted, yet not abandoned.
We are struck down but not destroyed.
Because of the hope that we have this hope. The hope that none of us have been forsaken.
May you be filled with the hope of His promise today.
May your loved one be drawn to the hope of the light of the World, given for us.
Emanuel, God with us.
June 20, 2025 Our prayer for Our Loved One Today
2 Corinthians 4:7-10 TPT [7] We are like common clay jars that carry this glorious treasure within, so that the extraordinary overflow of power will be seen as God's, not ours. [8] Though we experience every kind of pressure, we're not crushed. At times we don't know what to do, but quitting is not an option. [9] We are persecuted by others, but God has not forsaken us. We may be knocked down, but not out. [10] We continually share in the death of Jesus in our own bodies so that the resurrection life of Jesus will be revealed through our humanity.
Father God, we come to you today with our broken dreams, shattered hearts and promises that have not yet come to pass. Lord, the weight of the burdens we carry are heavy. Yet, because of who you are we have an extraordinary overflow of your power, the power of your love, that runs in and through us. Lord, we ask today that you would fill (our loved one) with that same abundance of power that only comes from your love for us. Lord, we know that (our loved one) is experiencing every kind of pressure today. Lord, hold (him/her) up so (he/she) would not be crushed. We know that (our loved one) may feel like giving up today. Give (him/her) supernatural strength so quitting is not an option. We understand that (our loved one) may be experiencing the consequences of unjust acts by others. We ask that you would make your presence known to (him/her) so that (he/she) knows that you have not forsaken (him/her). Lord, the power of your death give us strength. Today we draw on that power to intercede on behalf of (our loved one). We pray for your grace to cover each one of us today. In your son’s name we pray. Amen

Strength and Peace
Day in and day out, it can become harder to find peace.
Fear of relapse.
Sadness from loss.
Disappointment from unmet expectations.
Extreme busyness (sometimes to numb the pain).
So today, I claim these verses over my life. I claim these verses over my loved one’s life.
And I pray this over each of you who are struggling today.
May you be filled today with the gift of supernatural strength and peace that only He can give us
June 19, 2025 Our Prayer for our Loved One today:
Psalm 29:11 NIV[11] The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.
Abba daddy, we come to You this morning weak, tired and full of anxiety and turmoil because we know that our loved ones are wounded, lost and exhausted. Lord, we know that You are the only source of true healing, true freedom. Father God, we ask today that you would give strength to (our loved one) today, because we know that (our loved one) is Your precious child. We pray that You, in all of your love and mercy, pour out a special blessing of peace over (our loved one) as (he/she) struggles through this day. You are the author and giver of life.

He Brings Hope
2000 years ago a child was born.
He came to bring us hope.
He came to bring light into the darkness of our lives.

The Power of God
The power of God.
The power of God rolled back that stone and raised Christ from the dead.
And YOU have that same power IN you when you believe.
Do you feel burdened today.....call on that power to bring you peace.
Do you feel sad.....call on that power to bring you joy.
Do you feel alone.....that power (Christ himself) dwells in you...you are never alone.
Do you feel defeated.....call on that power to rebuke the enemy and be victorious.
And do you feel hopeless....remember just 2 days before that amazing Sunday Christ lay dead on the cross. And now he had risen.
With God, all things are possible!
Today, I pray you will all walk in that power, the same power that raised Christ from the dead. And I pray that you will understand that God can turn things around for you in an instant.
The power of the cross....
Our HOPE!
June 16, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Romans 8:9-11 MSG [10-11] It stands to reason, doesn't it, that if the alive-and-present God who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life, he'll do the same thing in you that he did in Jesus, bringing you alive to himself? When God lives and breathes in you (and he does, as surely as he did in Jesus), you are delivered from that dead life. With his Spirit living in you, your body will be as alive as Christs!
Father God, we thank you that in You there is hope and life. Lord, it stands to reason...that if You, the alive-and present God who raise your son from the dead moves into (our loved ones) life, that we trust that You will do the same thing for (our loved one) that You did in Jesus...bringing (him/her) alive unto You!!! God, when you live and breathe into (our loved one) as surely as you did in Jesus, we believe (he/she) will be delivered from death to life!! With Your Spirit living in (our loved one) (he/she) will be ALIVE as Christ's! Lord, we wait expectantly for that day to come soon with trust and hope! We pray this in Jesus Holy Name! Amen

Choose Faith
Right now...
Right this minute...
God is working behind the scenes to make this happen. We don't know how and we don't know when. But, because of this precious promise we can be assured that there will be a time...His perfect time, when this WILL happen.
When He WILL give them a heart to know Him. And they WILL become His people. And they WILL return to Him with all of their heart.
Today I will choose to walk in faith and joy because I believe this truth.
June 24, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Jeremiah 24:7 NIV [7] I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart.

A New Thing
Saturday. The day after the darkest day in history.
Mary, the disciples, the believers
Were all asking "why?'
I have asked why so many times. "Why did my son have to die when I prayed so
faithfully for him day in and day out."
"Why God?"
Some days we just have to gut it out with our faith. We wrestle with God and yell and scream and say "really God? This is what you had in mind?"
That day looked dark and bleak and hopeless. But Sunday was coming!
Mary had no idea what it all meant. But behind the scene He was making a way. He was doing a new thing.
And He is doing a new thing in my life and in your life and in your loved one's life today.
He opens a pathway through the wilderness in front of us. He quenches our thirst and refreshes us. He draws us back to him. His love leads us home.
June 14, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Isaiah 43:18-20 NLT
[18] "But forget all that- it is nothing compared to what I am going to do[19] For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland[20] Yes, I will make rivers in the dry wasteland so my chosen people can be refreshed.
Father God, we come before you today trusting. Trusting that your promises are real and true. When we can't hold on to anything else, we hold on to that. We know that nothing can compare to what you are going to do in [our loved one's] life! We believe that you are about to do something new, something amazing in [our loved one]. Yes Lord! It has already begun. Lord, we believe that you will make a pathway through the wilderness so that [our loved one] can find you. And you will create rivers in the dry wasteland of [his/her] life so that [our loved one] will be refreshed and made new in you. We believe that you are at work right now to restore our lives and our families to the abundant promised land you have waiting for all of us. Lord, we are thankful. We pray this promise and agree with it in your Son's precious name. Amen

He Refreshes My Soul
That day.
The day after the darkest day in history. A day of great grief. A day of loss. A day of confusion. She believed that what He had promised was true, yet now her son was gone.
She was crushed. Devastated. Full of angst and disappointment. Full of sorrow. She was told by God her son was going to be the King of Kings. And he had just been crucified on an old wooden cross.
You may be experiencing many of the same emotions today as Mary did on that day.
WHERE ARE YOU GOD????? THIS IS NOT WHAT I HAD PLANNED??? I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOOD??? YOU LET MY SON DIE!!!!!
But like us on this day, she couldn't see what was going to happen the NEXT day. She couldn't begin to comprehend, to wrap her brain around what God was going to do in just 24 short hours.
God IS here my friends. He is with you in this dark valley that you walk through . He is with your loved one as they are walking through the darkest of valleys.
And the HOPE. The HOPE that we have is in what happened the next day. The hope is in the promises, the assurance that we KNOW He never leaves our side.
June 14, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Psalm 23:1-6 NIV [1] The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. [2] He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, [3] he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. [4] Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. [5] You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. [6] Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Thank you Lord that you are (our loved one’s) shepherd and in You (he/she) will have everything (he/she) needs for an abundant life. Lord, as I pray that (our loved one) will rest in You today I ask that you quiet (our loved one’s) spirit and refresh and restore (our loved one’s) soul. Lord, I feel today that (our loved one’s) walking through the darkest of valley's, Lord but THANK YOU that you are always with (him/her) and that because of that, I have nothing to fear. Lord, we ask that your rod would protect (our loved one) today. Lord with your staff, draw me and (our loved one) near to you. Lord comfort (our loved one) as only you can. You provide for (him/her) a table, a feast even before (his/her) enemies, to the point where (his/her) cup will overflow with abundance! Lord, thank you that your goodness and your mercies will follow (our loved one) all of the days of (our loved one’s) life and for the amazing promise that I will dwell with you in your house forever, eternally. Lord, I thank you and praise you for all of these things today. In Jesus Name! Amen.
