Save Me!

October 6, 2020 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."

October 6, 2020 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 Your desire, your very heart is to save (our loved one)! Lord, we know that (he/she)is afraid, that (he/she) is struggling today. We pray that (he/she) would trust You and would not be afraid to surrender (his/her) everything to you today! Lord, You are our strength and our song and in You (our loved one) will have VICTORY!. Lord, may (our loved one) drink deeply from the fountain of your saving power! 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. We believe and do not doubt! We trust in your promises today and we pray all of these things in your might name! Amen!

You Will Call, He Will Answer

October 5, 2020 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.

October 5, 2020 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.

Here is the Road. Follow it.

October 4, 2020 Pamela Lanhart

When we cry for help...

He will answer us.

When we go through hard times...

He is right there with us.

When we wander and are lost...

He will say, “Here is the road, follow it” and guide us back to him.

THAT IS HOPE.

October 4, 2020 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Isaiah 30:19-21 19 You people who live in Jerusalem will not weep any more. The Lord is compassionate, and when you cry to him for help, he will answer you. 20 The Lord will make you go through hard times, but he himself will be there to teach you, and you will not have to search for him any more. 21 If you wander off the road to the right or the left, you will hear his voice behind you saying, “Here is the road. Follow it.”

Oh Heavenly Father, fill our lungs with your breath today. Help us to fix our eyes on you alone. We trust your word when it says that your people will weep no more. Abba daddy, comfort us. Dry our tears. Because we know that you are a compassionate God and when [our loved one] cries to you for help you will answer [him/her]. We know that you have allowed [our loved one] to go through these hard times so that [he/she] would find the end of [himself/herself] and reach out to you. We trust that you will be with [him/her] to teach [him/her] and that [our loved one] will not have to search for you any more. We ask that as [our loved one] wanders off of the road you desire to have [him/her] on, you would walk with [him/her]. Lord, as a shepherd guides his sheep, we pray that [our loved one] would hear Your voice gently calling to [him/her] "here is the road, follow it" and [he/she] would chose the path of life. We pray this in your Son's holy name. Amen

Grateful Praise

October 3, 2020 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.

October 3, 2020 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

I Am With You

October 2, 2020 Pamela Lanhart

The day after. The day after the darkest day in history. A day of great grief. A day of loss. A day of confusion. She believed that what He had promised was true, yet now her son was gone.

She was crushed. Devastated. Full of angst and disappointment. Full of sorrow. She was told by God her son was going to be the King of Kings. And he had just been crucified on an old wooden cross.

You may be experiencing many of the same emotions today as Mary did on that day.

WHERE ARE YOU GOD????? THIS IS NOT WHAT I HAD PLANNED??? I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOOD??? YOU LET MY SON DIE!!!!!

But like us on this day, she couldn't see what was going to happen the NEXT day. She couldn't begin to comprehend, to wrap her brain around what God was going to do in just 24 short hours.

God IS here my friends. He is with you in this dark valley that you walk through . He is with your loved one as they are walking through the darkest of valleys.

And the HOPE. The HOPE that we have is in what happened the next day. The hope is in the promises, the assurance that we KNOW He never leaves our side.

October 2, 2020 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Psalm 23:1-6 NIV [1] The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. [2] He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, [3] he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. [4] Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. [5] You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. [6] Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Thank you Lord that you are (our loved one’s) shepherd and in You (he/she) will have everything (he/she) needs for an abundant life. Lord, as I pray that (our loved one) will rest in You today I ask that you quiet (our loved one’s) spirit and refresh and restore (our loved one’s) soul. Lord, I feel today that (our loved one’s) walking through the darkest of valley's, Lord but THANK YOU that you are always with (him/her) and that because of that, I have nothing to fear. Lord, we ask that your rod would protect (our loved one) today. Lord with your staff, draw me and (our loved one) near to you. Lord comfort (our loved one) as only you can. You provide for (him/her) a table, a feist even before (his/her) enemies, to the point where (his/her) cup will overflow with abundance! Lord, thank you that your goodness and your mercies will follow (our loved one) all of the days of (our loved one’s) life and for the amazing promise that I will dwell with you in your house forever, eternally. Lord, I thank you and praise you for all of these things today. In Jesus Name! Amen.

Choose to Walk in Faith

September 29, 2020 Pamela Lanhart

Right now...

Right this minute...

God is working behind the scenes to make this happen. We don't know how and we don't know when. But, because of this precious promise we can be assured that there will be a time...His perfect time, when this WILL happen.

When He WILL give them a heart to know Him. And they WILL become His people. And they WILL return to Him with all of their heart.

Today I will choose to walk in faith and joy because I believe this truth.

September 29, 2020 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Jeremiah 24:7 NIV [7] I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart.

Abba father, we come before you today humble and contrite. Our desires are so simple. Life for us. Life for our loved ones. Lord we pray today that you would give (our loved one) a heart to know You. Lord we pray that (he/she) would acknowledge that You are (his/her) Lord. We pray that (our loved one) would desire a relationship with you and desire for You to be (his/her) God. We thank you for the promise that (our loved one) will return to You with all (his/her) heart. We believe these words of truth and we choose to walk in faith today. In Jesus precious name we pray, Amen.

He Brings Life

September 26, 2020 Pamela Lanhart

Some 2000 years ago the power of God rolled back the stone from the grave and raised Christ from the dead.

The power of the Cross…

And YOU have that same power IN you when you believe.

Do you feel burdened today.....call on that power to bring you peace.

Do you feel sad.....call on that power to bring you joy.

Do you feel alone.....that power (Christ himself) dwells in you...you are never alone.

Do you feel defeated.....call on that power to rebuke the enemy and be victorious.

And do you feel hopeless....remember just 2 days before that amazing Sunday Christ lay dead on the cross. And now he had risen.

With God, all things are possible!

Today, I pray you will all walk in that power, the same power that raised Christ from the dead. And I pray that you will understand that God can turn things around for you in an instant.

The power of the cross....Our HOPE!

September 26, 2020 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Romans 8:9-11 MSG[10-11] It stands to reason, doesn't it, that if the alive-and-present God who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life, he'll do the same thing in you that he did in Jesus, bringing you alive to himself? When God lives and breathes in you (and he does, as surely as he did in Jesus), you are delivered from that dead life. With his Spirit living in you, your body will be as alive as Christ's!

Father God, we thank you that in You there is hope and life. Lord, it stands to reason...that if You, the alive-and present God who raise your son from the dead moves into (our loved ones) life, that we trust that You will do the same thing for (our loved one) that You did in Jesus...bringing (him/her) alive unto You!!! God, when you live and breathe into (our loved one) as surely as you did in Jesus, we believe (he/she) will be delivered from death to life!! With Your Spirit living in (our loved one) (he/she) will be ALIVE as Christ's! Lord, we wait expectantly for that day to come soon with trust and hope! We pray this in Jesus Holy Name! Amen

We Fight

September 24, 2020 Pamela Lanhart

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

September 23, 2020 Pamela Lanhart

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

September 22, 2020 Pamela Lanhart

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

September 21, 2020 Pamela Lanhart

"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

September 20, 2020 Pamela Lanhart

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

September 19, 2020 Pamela Lanhart

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

September 18, 2020 Pamela Lanhart

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.

He Blesses Us With Peace

September 17, 2020 Pamela Lanhart

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

September 16, 2020 Pamela Lanhart

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

September 15, 2020 Pamela Lanhart

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

September 14, 2020 Pamela Lanhart

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

September 13, 2020 Pamela Lanhart

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
