By His Wounds We Are Healed

May 19, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

His wounds became our healing.

His suffering became our comfort.

His bondage became our liberation.

This is the life we have been invited to.

A restored life.

A transformed life.

A free life.

May 19, 2019 Our prayer for our loved one today:

1 Peter 2:21-24. This is the kind of life you've been invited into, the kind of life Christ lived. He suffered everything that came his way so you would know that it could be done, and also know how to do it, step-by-step... He suffered in silence, content to let God set things right…His wounds became your healing. You were lost sheep with no idea who you were or where you were going. Now you're named and kept for good by the Shepherd of your souls.

Father God, we come before you today overwhelmed, both with desperation and with hope. We thank you for all we have, knowing that everything comes from You. We thank you that you have invited all of us to step into an amazing life with you. Lord, in our own wisdom, we have no idea how to do this. We are lost. And so is [our loved one]. Yet in you and through you, you show us the way, because you alone are the way. You suffered for us, you took the pain for us. Your sacrifice was so [our loved one] could be completely healed. I pray this day that [our loved one] would chose to live and that [our loved one’s] healing to begin today. In Jesus Name....Amen!

He Broke Away Their Chains

May 18, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

There is power in Jesus name to break ANY stronghold, ANY oppression, ANY bondage that exists in our lives or our loved one's lives. God's desire is for us to walk in freedom.

Does that mean that our lives will be perfect? No. Does that mean our lives will be filled to overflowing with love, joy, peace and abundance? Yes!

Praying today that chains will be broken. Nothing the enemy will throw at us can EVER succeed against the power of Christ in us!

May 18, 2019 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Psalm 107:8-10,13-15 NIV [8] Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind, [9] for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things. [10] Some sat in darkness, in utter darkness, prisoners suffering in iron chains, [13] Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. [14] He brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness, and broke away their chains. [15] Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind,

Lord God we give THANKS to you today for your unfailing love and your wonderful deeds in my life! Lord THANK YOU that you satisfy our spiritual thirst Lord and fill our hungry hearts with your goodness! Lord (our loved one) is sitting in darkness right now, in utter darkness, a prisoner suffering in iron chains. Lord, we pray today that (our loved one) would cry out to you in (his/her) trouble Lord and thank you today that You WILL bring (him/her out of (his/her) oppression and break away all of (his/her) chains! Lord, we ALL give thanks to you for your unfailing love and all of your wonderful deeds. Because we KNOW that every good and perfect thing comes from You and You alone! We thank you and praise you today. In Jesus Precious Name. Amen

A Full Pardon

May 17, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

The spirit of condemnation.

The tool he uses to keep us sick.

“I am bad.” “I am an addict.” “I am a failure.” “I will never get better”

The momentary numbing of the emotional pain always brings us back to bondage.

Today we pray against the spirit of condemnation and the spirit of failure.

Because Christ bore that to the cross.

No guilt, no shame.

A full pardon

May 17, 2019 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Romans 8:1-2 NIV [1] Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, [2] because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.

Father we come before you today with the authority of the suffering Jesus Christ paid on the cross. We thank you that because of his death we don’t have to live in lies and deception, that we can walk in truth. We pray against any spirit of condemnation or failure that has taken hold of [our loved one]. We believe that through Christ Jesus, your Spirit, who gives life to [our loved one], will set [him/her] free from sin and death. We believe that through you, true freedom will come to [our loved one]. We pray that all of [our loved one’s] chains will be broken today. We pray this with confidence in your son's Holy and precious name. Amen

Love Never Fails

May 16, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

One day, in the middle of all of the craziness, we were sitting across from a pastor asking for counsel. He gave us some pretty profound advice that changed the course of our journey. And as we finished the conversation he looked at us and said, “Just remember....LOVE NEVER FAILS.”

I know that I can’t love the way I need to, unless I fully understand how much my Heavenly Father loves me. So today, I pray that you will be absolutely filled to overflowing with the anointing love of our amazing God. So much so, that it overflows and spills out on everyone around you.

And I pray that love will drive everything you do, as you come alongside your precious loved one that is suffering. Because that love will lead them home.

May 16, 2019 Our prayer for our loved one today:

1 Thessalonians 3:11-13 MSG

[11-13] May God our Father himself and our Master Jesus clear the road to you! And may the Master pour on the love so it fills your lives and splashes over on everyone around you, just as it does from us to you. May you be infused with strength and purity, filled with confidence in the presence of God our Father when our Master Jesus arrives with all his followers.

Lord God, we come before you today with the desire to fully experience Your love in our lives. We know that perfect love cast out all fear and that love never fails. Lord our motive for our prayers is love. Love for You and love for [our loved one]. Lord we pray today that You would intervene on our behalf and clear a road for [our loved one] straight to you! Lord we pray that You would pour out Your love so fully that it fills [our loved one's] life and splashes over on everyone around [our loved one], just as it has done from You to us! Lord we pray today that you would infuse [our loved one] with strength and purity. That you would fill [our loved one] with confidence in Your presence Lord. And that one day, when Your son appears You will say to us and to [our loved one] well done good and faithful servant. We ask this in Your Son's precious name. Amen.

I Will Go Before You

May 14, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

I will go before you my child....and make sure you have a place to sleep tonight.

I will go before you my child....and provide an angel to give you the hug that you so badly need.

I will go before you my child...and give you the food you need for lunch today.

I will go before you my child...and protect you from that person that meant to harm you.

I will go before you my child...and open the door for you to get the help you need.

I will go before you my sweet child and clear a path so wide that you will know that I am the Lord your God, the One who calls you by name.

May 14, 2019. Our prayer for our loved one today:

Isaiah 45:2-3 NLT [2] This is what the LORD says: "I will go before you, "my child", and level the mountains. I will smash down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron[3] And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness- secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name.

Lord, we come before you today facing mountains. There is a wilderness in front of us and we see no way out. So we look to your word and your promises to give us strength and encouragement. And you are the God who can make a way through that wilderness. Lord, we believe that you are going before [our loved one] and that you are leveling mountains for [him/her]. Lord, you are smashing down gates of bronze and cutting through bars of iron, to make a path for [our loved one]. Lord, we know that you have amazing treasure in store for [our loved one]. Lord, we believe this will be so miraculous that there will be no denying you Lord, that [our loved one] will KNOW that you are the Lord, who calls [our loved one] by name. Lord, we trust your promises and believe this today. In your son's precious name we pray! Amen

Abundance

May 13, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

Fire…

The killing off.

The cleansing.

The refining.

The clearing out for all that’s new.

He will bring us through the fire. And just like in nature, after the fire will come abundance.

Beauty from ashes.

For us...

For our loved one...

May 13, 2019 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Psalm 66:12 NLT [12] We went through fire and flood, but you brought us to a place of great abundance.

Lord, we come before you this today with expectation and hope in our hearts. We thank you that you are real and your promises are true. Lord, we believe that you go before us, you are with us and you go behind us. We are in the middle of the flood and the fire. Lord, [our loved one] is in the middle of the flood and fire. But you promise that you will bring [our loved one] through these trying times. Lord, we thank you! We thank you that one day [our loved one] will walk out of the fire and into a place of great abundance. That out of the ashes of our lives, something truly beautiful will be reborn. We trust you and today we are going to choose to walk in that hope! In Jesus precious name we pray. Amen

In His Light is Life

May 12, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

This Sunday morning ...

May you take refuge in the shadow of His wings.

May you feast on the abundance of HIs love.

May you drink from the river of His refreshing spring of living water.

And may you be filled to overflowing with the light from His fountain of life.

May 12, 2019 Our Prayer For Our Loved One Today:

Psalm 36:7-9 NIV [7] How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings[8] They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights[9] For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light!

Oh Lord, your unfailing love is priceless! We thank you that you are a God who loves us and desires us and wants a relationship with us. We thank you that you love [our loved one] beyond measure.

He Saves Us

May 11, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

Recently a young woman in recovery shared her story with me. She described THE moment. The moment that she completely surrendered, turned her back on her old life and ran into the arms of her Abba Daddy.

The moment she was radically and instantly delivered. She was in a state of near death (literally) and God not only delivered her from death but then completely redeemed her life.

I picture God standing off in the distance, with his arms open wide, saying "come, come to me. I have this gift for you! It's called LIFE." It is available for ALL of us when we run to Him instead of doing life our own way.

Praying we ALL have that moment of surrender and run into His open arms today!

May 11, 2019 Our Prayer for our Loved One today:

The spacious, free life is from GOD, it’s also protected and safe. GOD -strengthened, we’re delivered from evil— when we run to him, he saves us. (Psalm 37:39-40 MSG)

Lord, today we come before you desiring freedom! Freedom from oppression and death. We know that You and You alone give us life and give it abundantly. Lord, we thank you for the gift of life and pray today that (our loved one) would desire that gift as well. Lord, we pray that (our loved one) would chose to live that spacious, free life that only You can give (him/her) and in that life (he/she) would be protected and safe. Lord, we pray (our loved one) would be GOD-strengthened and delivered from all evil. Lord when we run to You, You save us! Lord, we pray that (our loved one) would run to You today! We thank you that you are our deliverer and pray this in Your Son's precious name! Amen

Pray As If

May 10, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

I believe that our words matter. And I believe we are called to pray as if it is so, even though it isn't yet so.

These words say that each one of us has an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. And that we have great joy coming after the fire.

So walk in this truth today. Pray this over your children, over your family! These trials will some day be over. Death has been defeated. The VICTORY has already been won!

We have this living hope as an anchor for our soul.

May 10, 2019 Our prayer for our loved one today.

1 Peter 1:3-4 NIV,6-7 NLT [3] Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, [4] and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, [6] So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while[7] These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith---of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire---may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

Lord, we rejoice in your love today. We rejoice in your power. We rejoice in your promises! We BELIEVE that this battle has already been won and victory has been accomplished! Lord, we give you praise for the living hope that we have. You have reserved an inheritance for [our loved one]. An inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. One that is kept in heaven just for [our loved one]. Lord we are truly glad! We wait in expectation for the wonderful joy that lays ahead for [our loved one] even though [he/she] is enduring many trials right now. We believe the end is coming and we claim that over [our loved one's] life today. We claim victory in this battle. We do not accept defeat because you have already triumphed. Lord, we give you praise and glory and honor for all that you are doing that we can't see! We wait in great expectation for all of this to occur and thank you in your Son's precious name. Amen!

The Lord is Close to the Broken-Hearted

May 9, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

The broken-hearted...

The hurting...

The suffering...

The marginalized...

The destitute...

The crushed in spirit

The lost...

My friends...these words say that He is closest to the least of these. That may be you today. That most likely is your loved one.

These words say that He encamped around those people and that He delivers them.

That is the power of his love

May 9, 2019 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 closest to us when we are broken into a million pieces. We pray today that you would stay close to [our loved one] who is desperate and struggling 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] troubles. We pray that your angels would encamp around [our loved one] and that those angels would protect [him/her] and deliver [him/her] from harm. Draw close to [our loved one] today, draw near to your child who is broken hearted and crushed in spirit. Right now [our loved one] has many troubles, but we believe you, Lord can deliver [him/her] from them all. We pray that [our loved one] would simply whisper “yes.” We pray these things in your precious name! Amen!

I Am With You

May 8, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

“I am with you my child, as you sit up at night, waiting for the phone call.” “I am with you at the family gathering when she’s not there.” “I am with you at the hospital while you wait to hear if he’s alive or dead.” “I am with you when you in the middle of the argument you are having with those you love.”

“I will sustain you.”

“I battling for you.”

“I will crush those who oppress you.”

“My faithfulness and my loyal love always accompanies you.”

You are not alone. Your loved one is not alone.

May 8, 2019 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Psalm 89:20-24, 26 I have found my servant David. I anointed him with my holy oil. My hand will sustain him—yes, my arm will strengthen him! No enemy will oppress him; no wicked person will make him suffer. I will crush all his foes in front of him. I will strike down all those who hate him. My faithfulness and my loyal love will be with him. He will be strengthened by my name. He will cry out to me:“You are my father, my God, the rock of my salvation.”

Father God, we give thanks today that you have found your precious child, [our loved one]. Thank you that in your perfect timing you will anoint [our loved one] with your holy oil. Thank you that your hand sustains [him/her] and that your arms strengthen [him/her]. We pray that no enemy will oppress [our loved one] and that no wicked person will ever make [our loved one] suffer. Lord, crush down all of [our loved one’s] foes and strike down anyone who is against [our loved one]. Thank you, for comforting us with the knowledge that your faithfulness and your loyal love is always with [our loved one] and that [he/she] will be strengthened by your name. Lord we look forward to the day when [our loved one] will cry out to you "Abba, Father, my God, the rock of my salvation." Lord, we pray these things with confidence and assurance today in Jesus precious name! Amen!

You Are Loved

May 7, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

You may be in a place this morning where you are struggling with your faith. Struggling to believe God is who he says he is because you have been wounded, broken by someone you loved.

Or maybe for some reason you feel shamed or condemned.

And I want to whisper in your ear this morning....

That you are loved! You are loved my friend. So much so that God gave His son up for you.

And that dark world you are living in can be completely consumed with the light of His love by simply turning to Him and saying "yes Lord." Yes.

May 7, 2019 Our prayer for our loved one today:

John 3:16-18A,21 NIV [16] For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life[17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him[18] Whoever believes in him is not condemned [21] whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.

Heavenly Father....we are in awe of you today! Because You loved [our loved one] so much that You gave your one and only Son, so that when [our loved one] calls to him [he/she] will move from death to life. For God, we know that you did not send your Son into the world to condemn [our loved one], but to save [him/her] through You! Lord, we know that [our loved one] is not condemned and that when [our loved one] choses to live by the truth, the truth will come into the light so that it may be seen plainly by [our loved one] so that what [our loved one] has done has been done in the sight of God. Lord, we praise you and thank you that these things will come to pass in your perfect timing and look forward to eternity with [our loved one]! In Jesus Name we pray! Amen

He Will Rescue

May 6, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

Recently I had the honor of meeting a young man who told me his story of rescue.

He was in active addiction and at the end of himself. He cried out to the Lord that day, desperate for change, desperate to be done. 3 days later he "randomly" had an encounter with a person who happened to be the director of a faith based program in his area.

We don't know the thoughts that go through our loved ones heads. We can't hear their hearts cry. But God does. He hears them and He sees their tears. And He will be faithful to rescue them when they call out to Him.

We never know when that moment will come

It is why we can never lose hope.

May 6,, 2019 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Psalm 3:3-5,8 NIV [3] But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high. [4] I call out to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy mountain. [5] I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me. [8] From the Lord comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.

Oh Lord, thank you that you are a God who loves us and cares for us and loves our children even more than we do. Lord, we ask today that you be a shield around (our loved one). Lord, lift (our loved one's) head high today. Lord, when (our loved one) calls out to you we pray that you answer (him/her) from your Holy Mountain! Lord, when (our loved one) lies down to sleep let (him/her) awake anew because You sustain (him/her). Lord from YOU comes deliverance for (our loved one). Lord, may your blessings be on (him/her) today. We pray this in your Son's precious name! Amen.

He Redeems Us

May 5, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

He heals all of our diseases...

He redeems our lives from the pit...

He crowns us with love and compassion...

He restores us…

He renews us…

He transforms us!

And what is the requirement to experience all of these things in their fullness?

Surrender.

May 5, 2019 Our Prayer for Our Loved One Today:

Psalm 103:2-5 NIV [2] Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits--- [3] who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, [4] who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, [5] who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

We believe that the day will come when the only way [our loved one] will be satisfied is through your love and [he/she] will come to desire all the good that comes from You.

Amen

Choose Life!

May 4, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

We ALL have a choice to make today.

Will we believe the truth of God's overflowing, infinite love for us?

Will we walk in the abundance of His mercy and forgiveness?

Will we chose FREEDOM?

Will we chose LIFE?

May 4, 2019 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Deuteronomy 30:19-20 NIV [19] This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live [20] and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life...

Lord, we come before you today grateful because YOU have the words of eternal life. Lord, today you have set before each of us a choice. Lord, you have set before (our loved one) the choice of life or death, blessings or curses. Lord, we pray that (our loved one) would CHOSE LIFE, so that (he/she) and (his/her) entire family would LIVE, Lord...really live!! We pray that (our loved one) would love You, would listen to your voice and would hold fast to you! For in YOU there is LIFE!!! Lord, we believe this and agree with your word today. We ask these things in the powerful name of Jesus. Amen!

He Gives Us Victory

May 3, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

Recently a small group of women got together and we were talking about the importance of our words. How our words matter so much when dealing with challenging people. That is one of the many reasons I think praying prayers with our loved ones names in them is SO important. It's impossible to be mad, or sad or disgusted and praying at the same time. Not only does it turn our hearts towards God, but it CHANGES our hearts towards our loved ones.

And these words from Isaiah today are SO beautiful. So filled with love and hope. One day our loved one WILL have victory over those things that entangle them, they WILL sing with joy and praise. And they won't be able to stop talking about all that God has done for them.

And in that....we can trust and not be afraid!

May 3, 2019 Our prayer for Our Loved One today:

Isaiah 12:2-5 NLT [2] See, God has come to save me. I will trust in him and not be afraid. The LORD GOD is my strength and my song; he has given me victory." [3] With joy you will drink deeply from the fountain of salvation! [4] In that wonderful day you will sing: "Thank the LORD! Praise his name! Tell the nations what he has done. 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.

Sweet Heavenly Father, we are so grateful to sit at your feet today and praise you and thank you for ALL the good you give us so graciously and we thank you for the gift of (our loved one). Lord, we believe that You came and died to save (our loved one)! Lord, we pray that (he/she) would trust in You and would not be afraid to surrender (his/her)whole life to you! Lord, You are our strength and our song and in You (our loved one) will have VICTORY!. Lord, may (our loved one) drink deeply today from the fountain of your salvation! Lord, and we believe and trust that in that wonderful day (our loved one) will sing "Thank you Lord!" And (he/she)) would make known to others all the wonderful things that You have done in (his/her) life. Lord we believe and do not doubt! We trust in your promises today and we pray all of these things in your might name! Amen!

Save Me

May 2, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

I believe our simplest prayers, whispered from the depths of our souls are the ones God treasures the most.

The ones that come from those desperate places...

The ones that are so painful we can only groan them...
Lord...heal me.

Lord...rescue me.

Lord...save me.

May 2, 2019 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Jeremiah 17:14 GNT [14] LORD, heal me and I will be completely well; rescue me and I will be perfectly safe. You are the one I praise!

Lord, we come before you today knowing that you have the power to heal any sickness, rescue us from our brokenness and break any stronghold. Lord our prayer is simple today...heal (our loved one) so (he/she) can be completely well. Rescue (our loved one) so (he/she) will be perfectly safe. And Lord may the praise of your name one day be on (our loved one's) lips. Lord trust in your perfect plan and believe you will work all things together in your perfect timing. We pray this in your Son's precious name. Amen.

He Will Make Us Beautiful and Whole

May 1, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

The valley of the shadow…

Death.

A reality for all of us but even more so for our prodigals. 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.

May 1, 2019 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!

He Will Say, Here Am I

April 30, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

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.

April 30, 2019 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!

Lord, we thank you that you are the same God yesterday, today and forever. Lord, we thank you for your Word and that we can trust the promises that are written to us. Lord, we believe that one day soon, You will reveal yourself to [our loved one] and on that day [our loved one's] light will break forth like the dawn and [his/her] healing will quickly appear! On that day Your righteousness will go before [our loved one] and Your glory will be [his/her] rear guard. That day [our loved one] will call to You and You will answer [him/her]. [He/she] will cry for help and You will say "here I am!" Then You will guide [our loved one] and will satisfy [his/her] needs and will strengthen [him/her]. One that day [our loved one] will find JOY in You, Lord and [he/she] will finally triumph and gain VICTORY in YOU! Lord, we look forward to that day and pray with confidence that it will come in your perfect timing. We pray this in your Son's precious name! Amen.

He Hears You

April 29, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

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.

April 29, 2019 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
