He is Perfect Peace

December 24, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

2000 years ago a child was born.

He came to bring us hope.

He came to bring light into the darkness of our lives.

He came to show us the path of peace. That's what this holiday is about my friends.

No matter what your situation... No matter your circumstances... You don't have to sit in the darkness and in the shadow of death.

Let Him wrap you up today in His light and in His perfect peace.

December 24, 2019 Our prayer for our loved on today:

Luke 1:78-79 NLT [78] Because of God's tender mercy, the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us, [79] to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to guide us to the path of peace."

Father God, we thank you today that you are a God of tender mercy. You gave us a sunrise today, the morning light. And Lord we believe that your Holy light is about to break on (our loved one). Lord, shine the light on (him/her). (Our loved one) is sitting in the darkness Lord, in the shadows of death. Lord we pray today that Your light would guide (our loved one) on to the path of peace. The peace that goes beyond understanding. The deep peace that can only come from you. We BELIEVE that your son, the light came for every one of us and we trust that it will shine on (our loved one) in your perfect timing. Thank you for your precious promises! We agree with it and stand on it, in your son's precious name. Amen!

He Came to Bring Life

December 23, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

The enemy's tactics are rampant in most of our families. He has wreaked havoc in so many lives. Your life may be one of them. But that is not God’s intention.

His intention was freedom for each one of us through the birth of His precious son. The baby born 2000 years ago to bring life for each one of us.

So while there are forces all around us that want to steal our loved one, steal our joy and sometimes steal our very life, remember this…

He can only take from us what we give him.

There is a love that holds greater power than anything the thief can steal from us. The love that came for you and for your precious loved one.

May you step into that love and abundance today.

December 23, 2019 Our prayer for our loved one today!

John 10:10 NIV [10] The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Lord, we cry out to you today on behalf of all of us who are lost and dying. Lord, we recognize the conflict. Light and dark, love and hate, life and death. Lord, there is a thief who has come to steal [our loved one], to kill [our loved one's] spirit and to destroy [his/her] life.. Lord we believe that you have come so that [our loved one] may live in all of the glorious fullness you desire for [him/her]! We pray against the evil forces that have their grip around [our loved one's] heart today and pray that you will reach down and grab ahold of [him/her], pull [him/her] up and draw [him/her] to you. We believe in your power to strengthen [our loved one] to overcome. We declare today that love wins, that life will win. In Jesus precious name we pray! Amen.

Peace I Leave

December 22, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

Holidays, weekends, special events….

The empty chair at the table.

The obvious absence of our precious loved one.

The pain is 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.”

December 22, 2019 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!

A Full Pardon

December 21, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

The spirit of condemnation.The tool he uses to keep us sick.

“I am bad.” “I am an addict.” “I am the sum of my failures.” “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.

But this is why He came. To bear that shame on the cross.

No guilt, no shame.

A full pardon

December 21, 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

The Great Love Rescue

December 20, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

The Christmas season.

This can be an incredibly difficult time of year.

But here is the truth.

Love came down in the form of a little baby to rescue us.

I pray that in the middle of the busyness of your day and your week, that you will take a moment to stop and pause and remember this…

He sees you.

And He LOVES you.

And it is ONLY out of the overflow of that love that we can love others.

And He sees your loved one.

May each of us have a love encounter with the Father himself today.

December 20, 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.

He Heals the Shattered Soul

December 19, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

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 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.

December 19, 2019 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.

December 18, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

This 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.

December 18, 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. Lord, we pray today that [our loved one] would take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. We pray that [our loved one] would look for what [he/she] needs from you and you alone. We pray that [he/she] would feast on the abundance of Your house today and [he/she] drink from the river of your living water. For we know Lord that the fountain of light is in you! We pray that in Your light of your holy presence [he/she] would see and experience true and abundant life! We ask this in your son's precious name. Amen

I Will Go Before You

December 17, 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.

December 17, 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

He Will Bring Us Through the Fire

December 16, 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...

August 30, 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.

The Victory has been Won

December 14, 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.

December 15, 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!

I Am With You

December 14, 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.

December 14, 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.”

He Carries our Burdens

December 13, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

I know....

During the Holiday season the burden you carry is extra heavy...

More to do...

More expenses...

More stress from the care of your peripheral loved ones...

And almost always, more uninvited drama.

The toll these days in December can take on some of you is astronomical.

But there is One who is willing to carry the pain, the loss, the grief, the heaviness of it all. Because you were not meant to do it alone. None of us were meant to do this alone.

Today, take the chains that you are wearing around your neck and lay them at the foot of the cross, as we pray for our loved ones to do the same.

December 13, 2019 Our Prayer for Our Loved One today: Matthew 11:28-30 NIV [28] “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Lord, our hearts are heavy today. Heavy for the lost. Heavy for the hurting. And heavy with our own pain. But Lord, we know there is only one way to release the pain and that is to come to you! Lord, we pray that (our loved one) would come to you today. Lord, (he/she) is weary, (he/she) is burdened. Lord provide a place of rest for (our loved one's) soul. Lord, we pray that (our loved one) would lay (his/her) burdens at your feet today, surrendering them all to you! Lord, we ask that you would lift (his/her) heavy yoke and replace it with the freedom that comes from choosing to live for You! We ask this in your son's precious name! Amen!

He Rescues

December 12, 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.

December 12, 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. Copyright @ 2014 Praying Our Loved One Home

Yes Lord, Yes!

December 11, 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.

August 24, 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 Copyright @ 2014 Praying Our Loved One Home

He Heals

December 10, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

I can tell you with certainty that He has redeemed my life from the pit. Not too many years ago I was completely consumed by my loved one's choices. When they were doing good, I was doing good. And one day...I had had enough. I was so broken, so lost, so stuck I had no choice but to lay my loved one at the foot of the cross. And the oppression was lifted. I was redeemed from the darkness.

And each day, we have to make the choice not to go back there.

He redeems our lives from the pit...

He heals All of our diseases...

He crowns us with love and compassion...

He renews us!

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

Surrender.

December 10, 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.

Lord, we come before this beautiful day with praise and thanksgiving in our hearts. Lord, we meditate on all of Your wonderful ways and don't forget any of Your benefits. Lord, we come before You on behalf of (our loved one) as we are confident that Your son died on the cross to forgive all of (our loved one's) sins and to heal (our loved one) completely. I ask today that you redeem (our loved one) from the pit that (he/she) is in and crown (our loved one) with Your perfect love and compassion. Lord we believe that the day will come when the only way (our loved one) will be satisfied is by Your love and (he/she) will come to desire all the good that comes from You. We ask today that You renew (our loved one) with strength like an eagle. Lord, we thank you with the assurance today that these things will come to pass. In Jesus Holy name we pray! Amen

You are the One I Praise

December 8, 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.

December 8, 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.

We Are Never Alone

December 7, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

A sweet young man, facing forever in prison.

A beautiful mama of littles, laying in a hospital bed.

A husband, lost in a world off darkness and pain.

Alone, yet not alone.

Because He is next to them, holding them, carrying them. Even when they don’t know it. Even when they are unaware. He is there. Making paths straight. Humbling the proud. Bringing light to the darkness.

He is there. He is with them in their destruction, their sorrow, their wounding. Whispering in their ear “I am with you. I love you.”

And He is with you today as well. Wrapping you up in His love, as you wait.

We are never alone.

December 7, 2019 Our prayer for Our Loved One today:

Luke 3:4-6 TPT [4] This was to fulfill what was written in the book of the prophet Isaiah: "Listen! You will hear a thunderous voice in the lonely wilderness telling you to wake up and get your heart ready for the coming of the Lord Jehovah. Every twisted thing in your lives must be made straight. [5-6] Every dark way must be brought to the light. Wrongs righted. Injustices removed. Every heart of pride will be humbled low before him. Every deception will be exposed and replaced by the truth so that everyone everywhere will be ready to see the Life of God!"

Abba Father, we thank you this morning that you are a God who fulfills your promises to us. Lord, your word never leaves us guessing. Thank you that each one of us, in your perfect timing, will hear that thunderous voice declaring your love for us. Lord we pray today that [our loved one], in the middle of the lonely wilderness, will hear you telling [him/her] to wake up, to get [his/her] heart ready for you. Lord, thank you that every twisted idea in [our loved one’s] life will be made straight. Thank you that everything hidden in the dark will be brought into the light. Thank you that [our loved one’s] wrongs will be righted and that any injustices committed by [him/her] or committed against [him/her] will be removed. Thank you that if there is pride or deception it will be exposed and that you will replace it with your truth! Thank you that [our loved one] will see the life God has for [him/her]. Lord we trust that even now you are clearing a path for this to happen! We believe this because you have saiid it will be. We claim this over [our loved one’s] life today. In his precious name we pray! Amen.

He Makes Us Beautiful

December 6, 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.

December 6, 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!

They are Beautiful

December 5, 2019 Pamela Lanhart

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."

December 5, 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.

He Will Answer

December 4, 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.

December 4, 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!
