We Fight

They fight…

They fight to stop.

They fight to feel normal.

They fight to breathe another day…

We fight.

We fight to love them radically

We fight to surrender them to the only one who can truly save them

We fight to live in a place of peace

We fight to not die with them.

And today...

Know that He died for the fight. He died so that we would be filled with the strength and power to continue to fight.

Praying today that we all continue to fight the good fight.

September 24, 2020 Our prayer for our loved one today:

2 Timothy 4:7-8 NIV [7] I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith[8] Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day---and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

Abba daddy, we sit at your feet today, pressed in because that is where our strength comes from. We know that You are a good and merciful God. We pray today that [our loved one] would continue, minute by minute, to fight the good fight. We pray that [he/she] would have the strength to walk through the tasks set before [him/her]. Lord, fill [him/her] to overflowing with the faith that only you can give [him/her]. We pray that [our loved one] would grasp the hope that comes with the battle, that this is for [his/her] freedom. But it isn't just freedom for this moment in time, but a freedom that will last for eternity. Father, wrap [our loved one] up in Your love and Your power and Your grace today. In Your son's precious name we pray. Amen

The Peacegiver

No doubt these are very troubling times. And you may be feeling overwhelmed today. You may be angry. You may be paralyzed by fear. You may feel hopeless.

He is the peace giver.

And remember, as hard as it is for us, it is so much harder for our loved ones. Yes, they can numb it, but when they wake up day after day in the same situation, they feel sad and restless and afraid and remorseful and fear. And they don't know how to get out of that cycle.

So today's prayer is a prayer of peace for us all.

September 23, 2020. Our prayer for our loved one today:

John 14:27 NLT [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, that 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 or fear or anxiety and lift it from (our loved one) today so that (he/she) can be completely filled to overflowing with Your peace!

May Love Spill Over

I was taught as a young person to be self-sufficient and to persevere. It was one of my strengths. I was told I was dogmatic and when I set a goal I rarely fell short.

But when addiction hit our family, I soon realized that I could have been Ironman or Wonder Woman and still would not have had the strength on my own to handle the mayhem that was my life.

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

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

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

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

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

Praying this for us.

Praying this for our loved ones today.

September 22, 2020 Our Prayer for our Loved One Today:

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

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

They are Precious in His Sight

"Because he rescues the poor at the first sign of need, the destitute who have run out of luck. He opens a place in his heart for the down-and-out, he restores the wretched of the earth. ...when they bleed, he bleeds; when they die, he dies.". Psalm 72:12-14 Msg.

He opens his heart to the down and out

He restores the wretched

When they bleed, he bleeds.

When they bleed, he bleeds.

He not only sees your loved one, he not only loves them, but He cares so deeply, loves so fully that when they suffer, He suffers with them.

And it says that He WILL restore them.

He's always at work my friends.

Never ever give up hope.

September 21, 2020 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Psalm 72:12-14 NIV [12] For he will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help. [13] He will take pity on the weak and the needy and save the needy from death. [14] He will rescue them from oppression and violence, for precious is their blood in his sight.

Lord, thank you that you are our Heavenly Father, our Abba Daddy, the One who loves us perfectly and completely. Lord thank you that your heart is for us and you only desire the best for us. Lord, thank you this morning that you promise to take care of (our loved one) who is helpless and poor when (he/she) cries out to you. Lord, right now you are the only one who can defend (him/her). Thank you that you promise in your word to care for the weak and needy and that you will rescue (our loved one). Lord, save (our loved one) from the oppression (he/she) is battling right now, today and save (our loved one) from any violence (he/she) may encounter. Lord, because we KNOW that (our loved one's) life is so precious to You. Lord, thank you that you love (our loved one) more than we do. We sit at your feet today, grateful for your saving power. We pray this in Jesus precious name...Amen!

Do Not Be Afriad

The fear…

The discouragement…

The feeling that God has abandoned us.

The feeling that God has abandoned our loved one.

The constant battle inside our heads screaming, “where are you God?”

He is with us, my friend.

He is with each one of us.

He goes before us and He will never leave us. Even when we push Him away, even when we forsake Him, He will not forsake us.

Today I pray that the God who is always with each one of us, will reveal Himself clearly to my loved one. So that my loved one will know, beyond doubt, that he is not alone.

September 20, 2020 Our prayer for Our Loved One today:

Deuteronomy 31:8 NIV
[8] The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”

Lord, today I confess to you that I am sad, I am discouraged, I am afraid. This life is not the life that I had planned for myself or for (our loved one).

Lord, I know that if I only look at this temporal world, I would lose hope. Yet, the hope for (our loved one) does not come from this world. It comes from the promise of the ultimate sacrifice that you made for us. Lord, I ask today that you will go before (our loved one), that (he/she) will know, without doubt that you are WITH (him/her). I walk in gratitude that you promise to never leave (our loved one) and that you will never, ever forsake (him/her). Lord, today I ask that you fill (our loved one) with courage, with faith and with the perseverance to fight the battle (he/she) is facing, one moment at a time. I pray this in your son’s precious name. Amen

The Path of Peace

During extreme difficulty we can stay focused on this...

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 the Christian walk 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.

September 19, 2020 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!

Rest

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!

September 18, 2020 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 Blesses Us With 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

September 17, 2020 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. Lord, we pray today that (our loved one) would choose life. We believe, in faith, that your promise will come to be and we step in to your perfect peace for us today as well. We pray this in Your son’s precious name. Amen

Measureless Grace Will Strengthen You

The weight you are carrying….

It’s not yours to carry.

The burdens that you are holding on to…

Are not yours to bear.

But grace…

That measureless grace.

That is what is waiting for each of us…

If we are willing to lay it at the foot of the cross.

September 16, 2020 Our prayer for our Loved One today:

Psalm 55:22 TPT [22] So here's what I've learned through it all: Leave all your cares and anxieties at the feet of the Lord, and measureless grace will strengthen you.

Merciful Father, we sit at your feet today bearing the full weight of the burdens we are carrying. The load is heavy. Too heavy for us to manage on our own. Lord, we know that the only way we are going to continue to climb this mountain is if we hand this load off to you. Father, we release all of our cares, all of our anxieties all of our fears, over to you. Lord, we pray this for (our loved one) as well. (He/she) is suffocating under the weight of the strongholds and difficulties in (his/her) life. We pray for a releasing today. We pray that (our loved one) would let go of all that (he/she) is holding so tightly to, the things of this world that are of no use to (him/her). Those things that hold (him/her) back from experiencing the full measure of your glorious grace. Lord, strengthen (him/her). Fill (him/her) with the power that only you can give (our loved one). The God—strength that gives (him/her) the peace to say “Abba Father, I can’t, but you can.” We pray these things in your son’s precious name. Amen

You are His

He knows.

He knows the burdens you carry...

He knows your pain...He has felt it.

He sees you.

Let him catch your tears today...

Let him breathe healing into your hurting, broken heart...

Let him wrap you up today with His love...

September 15, 2020 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Isaiah 43:1-2,4 NIV
[1] But now, this is what the Lord says---he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. [2] When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. [4] Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life.

Heavenly Father, to be real God, our hearts are breaking today. The pain at times, can be unbearable. But You, You Lord are the one and only who can heal our hurting heart. Today we cling to your promises. Lord, because you created (our loved one), you formed (him/her) we need not fear. You have redeemed (our loved one). You have summoned (our loved one) by name and (he/she) is Yours! Lord we believe today in your promises that when (our loved one) passes through the deep waters, that You will be with (him/her) and when (our loved one) is drowning in the river of life, it will not sweep over (him/her). Lord we believe that even when (our loved one) walks through the fire, that You will protect (him/her) and not allow (him/her) to be burned. Lord, we trust that (our loved one) is precious and honored in Your sight and that because you loved (our loved one) so much you gave Your son, Jesus in exchange for (our loved one). You gave Him in exchange for (our loved one's) life. Lord, we are in awe of that sacrifice Lord. We do not take it lightly. And Lord, we pray today that (our loved one) would open (his/her) heart to see You in a very real way and (he/she) would understand in a moment, Your redemption and the abundant life you have waiting for (him/her)! We thank you for all you are doing in the heavenly realms that we can't see. We believe that you are at work in a mighty way. We trust in your deliverance today! We pray this in Jesus precious name. Amen!

His Marvelous Grace

The yelling, the shaming, the anger, the chaos. The crazy things I’ve done on this journey in my selfish efforts to change my loved one.

The mistakes along the dusty path.

But there is grace.

My heart’s desire today is that I would become a better version of myself. Walking in love and overflowing with that marvelous grace.

And as I experience the unfolding beauty of all that He gives me, my hope is that I would reflect that to my loved one.

SO that he would experience the miracle of His marvelous grace.

September 14, 2020 Our prayer for our loved one today:

1 Peter 1:13-15 TPT
[13] So then, prepare your hearts and minds for action! Stay alert and fix your hope firmly on the marvelous grace that is coming to you. For when Jesus Christ is unveiled, a greater measure of grace will be released to you[14] As God's obedient children, never again shape your lives by the desires that you followed when you didn't know better[15] Instead, shape your lives to become like the Holy One who called you.

Almighty Father, we come before you today because you are holy and powerful and loving. We believe that your grace is greater than all of our failures and mis-steps. Lord, we pray on behalf of [our loved one] today, that even now you are molding and preparing [our loved one’s] heart and mind for the glorious unfolding in front of [him/her]. Lord, we pray that you would set [our loved one's] mind on the hope that your grace in Jesus Christ brings. We pray that [our loved one] would let go of the desires that come from living [his/her] old life, a life of pain and suffering. We believe that you have called [our loved one] to become like you in every way. We pray these words in the confidence that they will be full-filled swiftly. In Jesus Holy Name we pray! Amen

He Won't Stop

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

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

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

September 12, 2020 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Isaiah 42:3 Msg. He won't brush aside the bruised and the hurt and he won't disregard the small and insignificant, but he'll steadily and firmly set things right. He won't tire out and quit. He won't be stopped until he's finished his work.

Lord, we thank You that You are always present, that You are always aware and that You are in every detail of our lives. Even though we may feel you may be distant or don't hear our prayers, we trust that you hear every faint whisper. We praise you today, that you won't brush aside [our loved one] who is bruised and hurt right now. We believe with thanksgiving, that even though others may have cast [our loved one] aside as small and insignificant You will never disregard [him/her]. And we thank You that You promise that You won't stop until You have finished [our loved one’s] complete rescue. We trust that You are always at work and that You see [our loved one] and love [him/her] deeply. Lord, we believe these promises today in Your son's precious name. Amen

I'll Guide You

This morning you may feel lost and alone. Like you are walking through unknown territory. Like you are in a dark maze and keep running into walls at every turn.

I know that feeling so well.

But God says "I'll take the hand of those who don't know the way, who can't see where they're going. I'll be their personal guide!"

Our God loves you so much that He will personally guide when you don't know which way to turn. He'll keep you from going off the path and falling into the ditch.

Just reach out and take his hand. Trust Him. We don’t have to know the way, because He will show us the way.

And I'm praying today that one day soon, our loved ones will look up and reach out and take His hand and let Him lead them out of the lies and confusion of their life.

September 13, 2020 Our Prayer For Our Loved One Today

Isaiah 42:16 Msg. But I'll take the hand of those who don't know the way, who can't see where they're going. I'll be a personal guide to them, directing them through unknown country. I'll be right there to show them what roads to take, make sure they don't fall into the ditch. These are the things I'll be doing for them— sticking with them, not leaving them for a minute."

Abba daddy, I need you today. I am walking through unknown territory and I am lost. I am scared. I feel alone. But Lord, I know that with you I am never alone. I know that you are right there to grab my hand when I don't know the way. And Lord, I am confident that when my grip gets weak, you, in your love, hold on tighter. Lord, help me today to trust you. And Lord, I thank you that you are always beside (our loved one). Lord, (our loved one) is in unknown territory and you promise that you will be right there with (him/her). Lord, show (him/her) the road that (he/she) needs to take. Lord, guide (him/her). Protect (him/her) so that (he/she) doesn't fall into the ditch. Lord, I know that you are with (our loved one). Thank you for your promise that you will stick with (our loved one) and that you won't leave (him/her). And Lord, I pray today that you will guide (our loved one) home. I pray this in your son's precious name. Amen

Choose Life!

What do we speak over our loved one’s life?

Do we live in constant fear of death and meditate on those dark thoughts? Do our actions and words prove our thinking?

Let’s speak as if...

Let’s pray as if...

I will live!

My loved one will live!

I choose life!

September 11, 2020 Our prayer for Our Loved One today:

Psalm 118:17 NASB I will not die, but live, And tell of the works of the LORD.

Father God, I admit that I walk in fear most days. Fear of losing that which is most precious to me. Fear of losing my dreams. Fear of not measuring up. Fear of death. Lord, today I call out the truth of your words in my life and in my loved ones life. Lord, I will not allow my circumstances to overcome me. I will not die, I will live. And today I pray for (our loved one). I claim with power and authority life over (him/her). Lord, (our loved one) will not only live but live to tell of your glorious works in (his/her) life. Lord I believe with my whole being that as it is written, so it shall become. I pray this with confidence in your son’s precious name. Amen.

Give Thanks

In the middle of the ugly, the mess, the difficulties it is hard to see God at work.

But each one of us, every one, whether they are in His will at the moment or not, was created for something incredibly special.

He has begun a good work in you.

He has begun a good work in your loved one.

And He promises that He won’t stop pursuing us until the day we go to our eternal home.

I give thanks today for my loved one and for the work God is certainly doing in his life.

September 10, 2020 Our Prayer for Our Loved One Today

Philippians 1:3,6 NLT
[3] Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. [6] And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.

Abba Daddy, we come to you this morning, feeling tired, feeling sad, feeling angry, sometimes with our loved one, but often with ourselves. We know we are called to love. We know we are called to give thanks. And today, that is hard for me. I can't do this on my own Lord. So fill me with Your love and grace so that every time I think of (our loved one) I WILL give thanks to God for him/her. Lord, I am so grateful that you chose (our loved one) specifically for me. Lord, I AM certain that you, the God of the universe who is always, always good, is already beginning to do a good work in (our loved one) and that You won't quit, You won't stop until (our loved one) is complete in You. We are grateful that we can fully trust You. We pray in your son's holy name. Amen.

Walk in Hope

Res·cue: the act of saving [someone] from a dangerous or distressing situation.

Lord, I need rescuing today. Our people need rescuing today. Our country needs rescuing today.

And He does that. He saves us.

It may look today like you or your loved one is in an incredibly hopeless situation. But He is right in the middle of doing the saving.

"By your mighty power you rescue."

Today I am going to choose to believe that He is at work and in the process of rescuing.

Today I am going to choose to believe that He will protect and cover all of loved ones in the shadow of His wings.

Today I will walk in hope.

September 9, 2020 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Psalm 17:6-8 NLT
[6] I am praying to you because I know you will answer, O God. Bend down and listen as I pray[7] Show me your unfailing love in wonderful ways. By your mighty power you rescue those who seek refuge from their enemies[8] Guard me... Hide me in the shadow of your wings.

Lord, we come before You today confident, because we know that you are a God that answers prayers. We pray that today You will bend down and listen as we pray. And I thank you that when [our loved one] cries out to you, you will bend down and listen to [him/her]. Lord, hear [our loved one's] whispers and groans. Show [our loved one] your unfailing love, Lord however that looks. Use the people and events around [him/her] to reveal yourself to [our loved one]. I pray that when [our loved one] does cry out to you that you will swoop in to rescue [him/her] with your mighty hand. Protect [our loved one] from the enemies that are trying to destroy [him/her]. Enemies like confusion, pride, anger, addiction, self-loathing. Lord, whatever [he/she] is facing today, we know that you are greater. Guard [our loved one]. Draw [him/her] near to You and protect [him/her] under the shadow of Your wings. Lord, we pray with confidence that these things will happen as you will them to and ask all of these things in your Son's precious name. Amen.

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

You Are Enough

I remember those days...

When in my mind there was just nothing to give thanks for.

But God’s word says, as a man thinks, so he will become.

Today simply stop.

Stop what you are doing.

Clear your mind.

And give thanks.

Even if you don’t feel like it. Even if you can’t think of anything to be thankful for. The fact that your God, the God of the universe created you and created your loved one...

Is enough.

Because you are enough.

September 7, 2020 Our prayer for Our Loved One Today;

1 Thessalonians 1:2 TPT We are grateful to God for your lives and we always pray for you.

Lord, we sit at your feet today searching. Searching for answers, searching for resolution, searching for peace. Lord, we know that peace only comes when we practice gratitude in our hearts. Lord, today I am grateful. I am grateful for (our loved one’s) life. I am grateful that you created (him/her) perfectly, for such a time as this. I am honored to be a part of (our loved one’s) life, if not in physical presence at this moment, through the power of my prayers. Lord, I commit today to continue to pray and give thanks for (our loved one) until the day we see you face to face. We pray in your son’s holy name. Amen

I Will Sustain You

A family wondering where their child is, because they haven’t heard from him in months.

A grandma, raising her grandson, without money for groceries.

A couple, dropping their child off at rehab for the 9th time, hoping this time it works.

A mama, just last night, calling the police on her own child because he pulled a gun on her.

A family learning yesterday that their child is gone forever.

These are the things that some of you are facing today. And you are wondering how you are going to go on, or even if God exists.

He IS there...

And he wrote these words filled with so much HOPE just for you today, just for your loved one today.

Simple words full of the power to sustain us.

He will rescue you my friend...

He will carry you through this day.

September 6, 2020 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Isaiah 46:4 NIV
[4] I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.

Lord you are HE! You are the great I am. You are the One who loves us and we thank you because you are FULLY trustworthy. Abba Father, sustain us today. Give us the strength to walk through this day in Your peace, Your joy, Your power. Lord, you know (our loved one), for you created (him/her). We ask that you carry (our loved one) through this day. Watch over (him/her), protect (him/her). And sustain (our loved one). Give (him/her) this day, (his/her) daily bread. Meet (his/her) needs whatever they are. And finally Lord, we cry out to you for (our loved one's) rescue. Whatever it is that (he/she) is battling today, we ask that you swoop (him/her) up and wrap (him/her) in your loving arms as only you can. Deliver (him/her) from whatever unknown, unseen forces are holding (him/her) captive. Father, we believe… we KNOW that you are a GOOD God and have the power to change lives. Lord, we ask for your life saving intervention today. We pray this in your Son's precious name.

From Darkness into Light

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

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

He will rescue us from the deep waters...

And He will bring us to a spacious place, a place of a kind of freedom that we could have never imagined.

He turns our darkness into light.

September 5, 2020 Our prayer for our loved one today:

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

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