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.
April 22, 2021 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

He Has Risen!
HE WAS RISEN!!! The stone was rolled back. The tomb was empty.
The power of God rolled back that stone and raised Christ from the dead.
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!
April 17, 2022 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 Christs!
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

The Darkest Valley
That day. 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.
April 16, 2022 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 feast 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.

It Is Finished!
And on that day…
He took his last…
And said “It is finished.”
We don’t have to do the work of saving.
He did it for us.
On that dark day, He put our burdens on His shoulders once and for all.
Today, on this Good Friday.
Find peace in knowing that you can rest in that victory.
April 15, 2022 Our prayer for Our Loved One Today.
John 19:30 30 When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
Father God, we humbly come before you today, thankful for what this day means. That what you did on the cross was complete. It was finished. And Lord, I thank you that you did that for me and that you did that for (our loved one). I thank you that you have given me the assurance that with your death, comes life. Lord today I pray that (our loved one) would receive the gift of the love that you have for (him/her). The love that came with the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you that it is finished. In Jesus holy name we pray. Amen

Salvation Comes From the Lord
He hears you…
He hears the hurting and wounded crying out, desperate to be saved from the darkness that enfolds them.
He hears the cries of our loved one's struggling, dying and literally one whisper away from being saved, yet unable to say the words.
And in these verses we hear the story of redemption. Of a rebellious, stubborn, unfaithful man who was running from God. In his struggle, in the depth of his despair, he finally cried out and said “Lord, save me.” And he was delivered.
When things seem hopeless, when they can’t always cry out on their own behalf, we have one line of defense that is ALWAYS effective...
It is our prayers.
And God hears you. He hears your pain-filed pleas. And when you call He will answer.
April 14, 2022 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

Light Has Dawned
No doubt yesterday was difficult for you.
It may have felt as if you were completely alone.
Or maybe you were surrounded by people yet there was chaos and strife.
But as you were there….
So was God in the middle of it all.
And even though it may have felt hard and dark…
Where there is God, there is light.
And light ALWAYS shines through the darkness.
Praying today that His light would lead them home.
April 13, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Isaiah 9:2 NIV [2] The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.
Lord, you call into being things that never existed as if they did. Lord, we thank you that You can turn our children's hearts to you with a whisper. Lord, we pray today for (our loved one). Lord we believe that today, even though (our loved one) is walking in darkness (he/she) will see YOUR great light. Thank you that your light will dawn and shine down on those living in deep darkness. Lord, you are the light that will move (our loved one) from death to life. Lord we thank you in advance for this truth to come to pass. We pray this in Jesus name today! Amen.

Pray As If
One of the journeys God has taken me on through all of the challenges over the years has been to see things like he sees them. To see PEOPLE like he sees them. To see the value in every single person that I meet. To radically accept and love others without judgement. Jesus did that. He hung out with all the outcast of his time.
And the hardest people to do that with our the ones closest to us. The ones that hurt us. The ones who disappoint us.
So how do we do that? How do we see them like Christ sees them?
We pray.
We pray scriptures over them that change our heart towards them. And we thank God for these beautiful ones we call sons and daughters, husbands and wives, moms and dads, sisters and brothers. And we pray exactly what we want to see.
We pray as if.
April 12, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Psalm 139:13-14,16,24 NIV [13] For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. [14] I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. [16] .....all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. [24]....lead me in the way everlasting.
Lord we come before you this morning with praise and thanksgiving. Because we know God that nothing you do is a mistake. Lord, you created (our loved one's) inmost being; you knit (our loved one) together in my womb. Lord I praise you because (our loved one) is perfectly and wonderfully made! All of your works are wonderful. We believe that and know that full well! Lord, we believe that all of (our loved one) days were ordained for (him/her) and were written in your book long before they will ever come to be. Lord we believe that you have a special plan for (our loved one). Lead (him/her) in the way everlasting today Lord so that your plan can be fulfilled. We ask this with confidence in your perfect will! In Jesus Name we pray! Amen!

Walk in Faith
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.

Fight the Good Fight
hey 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.
April 11, 2022 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

Peace I Give
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.
April 10, 2022. 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!

He Makes Us Strong
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.
April 9, 2022 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!

Never Give Up 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.
April 8, 2022 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.

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.
April 7, 22022 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.

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.

You are NOT Forsaken
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.
April 6, 2022 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

He Heals the Brokenhearted
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.
April 4, 2022 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!

God With Us
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.
April 3, 2022 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

His Gives 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
April 2, 2022 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

Perfect Peace
2000 years ago a child was born.
He came to bring us hope.
He came to bring light into the darkness of our lives.
He came to show us the path of peace.
That's what this holiday is about my friends.
No matter what your situation...
No matter your circumstances...
You don't have to sit in the darkness and in the shadow of death.
Let Him wrap you up today in His light and in His perfect peace.
April 1, 2022 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!

Immeasurable 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.
March 31, 2022 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

Wrapped in His Love
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...
March 30, 2022 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!
