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.
December 11, 2021. 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!

Glory Strength
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.
December 10, 2021 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!

Hope
"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.
December 9, 2021 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.

Walk In Hope
A new day.
A new perspective.
A fresh start.
God is always doing something new my friends. He will make a way in the wilderness.
That is the hope that I walk in today.
December 8, 2021 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Isaiah 43:18-20 NLT
[18] "But forget all that- it is nothing compared to what I am going to do[19] For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland [20] Yes, I will make rivers in the dry wasteland so my chosen people can be refreshed.
Father God, we come before you today trusting. Trusting that your promises are real and true. When we can't hold on to anything else, we hold on to that. We know that nothing can compare to what you are going to do in [our loved one's] life! We believe that you are about to do something new, something amazing in [our loved one]. Yes Lord! It has already begun. Lord, we believe that you will make a pathway through the wilderness so that [our loved one] can find you. And you will create rivers in the dry wasteland of [his/her] life so that [our loved one] will be refreshed and made new in you. We believe that you are at work right now to restore our lives and our families to the abundant promised land you have waiting for all of us. Lord, we are thankful. We pray this promise and agree with it in your Son's precious name. Amen

Do Not Be Afraid
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.
December 7, 2021 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

Wait Patiently For Him
In the middle of the insanity, it's hard to trust...
You feel distant from God....
You are struggling with believing anything good will come from all of this....
And you simply want to do something to make it all better...
When the world tells you to do nothing, God in his wisdom gives us a guide for action. So here is your lists of “do’s” for today:
Trust in Him: He will keep you safe
Delight in Him (I mean radical joy!): He will give you the desires of your heart (He already knows the deep desires).
Commit your way to him (really commit - not just a little bit): You will shine like a star
And the most difficult of all...
Be patient: Watch and see the wild, amazing thing God will do in your life and in your loved one’s life.
Praying today that we can focus on God’s “to do” list for us. He is ready to do miracles!
December 6, 2021 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.

In His Perfect Time
Some days are just hard...
Expectations unmet, dreams shattered, lives and hearts broken into a million pieces.
And in the middle of all that we try so hard to find some glimmer of light, some glimmer of hope.
And this is the only way that we can walk through this...this promise.
That He is always closest to those that are broken.
Let Him dry your tears today.
Let Him wrap His loving arms around you and comfort your deepest pain.
And try, try to remember that they are aware as well, they are in pain, they are suffering and they are broken, shattered even. They feel guilt. They feel remorse. Somewhere deep down they know they have ruined your Christmas. So pray this for them. Don't let the pain win.
God hears your prayers for them. God sees their brokenness. And He WILL heal them in his perfect time.
December 5, 2021 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Psalm 34:4,6-7,18-19 NIV [4] I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. [6] This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. [7] The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. [18] The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. [19] The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all;
Lord, thank you that you hear our cries and are close to us when we are broken into a million pieces. Lord, we pray this morning as well that you would stay close to (our loved one) who is brokenhearted and that you will deliver (him/her) from all of (his/her) fears. Lord, we ask today that (our loved one) would call out to you and that you would hear (him/her) and save (him/her) from all of (his/her) trouble! Lord, we pray that your angels would encamp around (our loved one) today and that those angels would deliver (him/her) from harm. Lord, draw close to (our loved one) today, our child who is broken hearted and crushed in spirit. Lord, (our loved one) has many troubles but YOU Lord can deliver (him/her) from them all. Lord, we pray that (our loved one) would cry out for that deliverance today! Lord, we thank you for these promises for our children! We pray these things today in Jesus precious name! Amen!

Light of the World
Yesterday....
A day that for so many of you may have been crushing. A day filled with unmet expectations and dreams that did not come to pass for your family.
Another day of prayers yet to be answered.
Yet we rejoice in the power of the cross.
We are pressed but not crushed.
We are perplexed, but not despairing.
We are persecuted, yet not abandoned.
We are struck down but not destroyed.
Because of the hope that we have this hope. The hope that none of us have been forsaken.
May you be filled with the hope of His promise today.
May your loved one be drawn to the hope of the light of the World, given for us.
Emanuel, God with us.
December 4 2021 Our prayer for Our Loved One Today
2 Corinthians 4:7-10 TPT [7] We are like common clay jars that carry this glorious treasure within, so that the extraordinary overflow of power will be seen as God's, not ours. [8] Though we experience every kind of pressure, we're not crushed. At times we don't know what to do, but quitting is not an option. [9] We are persecuted by others, but God has not forsaken us. We may be knocked down, but not out. [10] We continually share in the death of Jesus in our own bodies so that the resurrection life of Jesus will be revealed through our humanity.
Father God, we come to you today with our broken dreams, shattered hearts and promises that have not yet come to pass. Lord, the weight of the burdens we carry are heavy. Yet, because of who you are we have an extraordinary overflow of your power, the power of your love, that runs in and through us. Lord, we ask today that you would fill (our loved one) with that same abundance of power that only comes from your love for us. Lord, we know that (our loved one) is experiencing every kind of pressure today. Lord, hold (him/her) up so (he/she) would not be crushed. We know that (our loved one) may feel like giving up today. Give (him/her) supernatural strength so quitting is not an option. We understand that (our loved one) may be experiencing the consequences of unjust acts by others. We ask that you would make your presence known to (him/her) so that (he/she) knows that you have not forsaken (him/her). Lord, the power of your death give us strength. Today we draw on that power to intercede on behalf of (our loved one). We pray for your grace to cover each one of us today. In your son’s name we pray. Amen

Supernatural Strength
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
December 3, 2021 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

Our Hope!
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!
December 2, 2021 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

Measureless Grace
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.
December 1, 2021 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

He Will Carry You Through
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...
November 29, 2021 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!

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.
November 28, 2021 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

I Won't Leave You for a Moment
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.
November 27, 2021Our 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

He Sets Things Right
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.
November 26, 2021 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

Give Thanks
I know...
Today will be hard for so many of you...
For some...
There is an empty chair at your table...
And your heart is breaking...
But in the middle of the pain...
He is there.
He sees you.
In spite of it all, every one of us has something we can be grateful for. Our pain is diminished when we give thanks.
Today...I pray the Lord would fill you to overflowing with gratitude and thanksgiving.
And we pray that today His love would endure and sustains our loved one.

I 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.
November 24, 2021 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.

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!
March 26, 2021 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.

Blessed is He Who Trusts in the Lord
Sweet friends, I am praying this over you and your loved ones today.
I pray that you will be filled with faith and trust today.
I pray that your hope and confidence will be in Him.
I pray that your roots will go down deep, so that even though you are in the desert right now, you will not thirst.
And I pray for complete restoration.
That the trials and difficulties you are going through today will be redeemed for His glory.
And I will pray that into my loved ones precious life today as well.
November 22, 2021 Our prayer for our Loved One today:
Jeremiah 17:7-8 TLB[7] But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and has made the Lord his hope and confidence. [8] He is like a tree planted along a riverbank, with its roots reaching deep into the water-a tree not bothered by the heat nor worried by long months of drought. Its leaves stay green, and it goes right on producing all its luscious fruit.
Father God, thank you for Your word and that we can fully trust it. Thank you that You give us visions and pictures of what will come to be. Lord, today I will picture (our loved one) as You picture (him/her). Lord we pray with our whole being that (our loved one) will come to trust in You and that (he/she) will find (his/her) hope and confidence in You alone. Lord we pray that (he/she) will become like a tree planted, with (his/her) roots reaching deep in Your truth and Your strength. We pray that (he/she) will become so solid and strong that nothing will succeed in coming against (him/her). Lord, we believe that you have a calling on (our loved one's) life that you have a special plan and purpose for (him/her). Lord we trust in that plan today. We wait in humble anticipation for it to come to pass. We pray these things today in Your Son's precious name. Amen

He Will Rescue
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.
November 21, 2021 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.
