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.
August 21 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.

At the Foot of the Cross
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.
August 20, 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

Let Him Wrap You Up With 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...
August 19, 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!

His Marvelous Grace
The yelling, the shaming, the anger, the chaos. The crazy things I’ve done on this journey in my selfish efforts to change my loved one.
The mistakes along the dusty path.
But there is grace.
My heart’s desire today is that I would become a better version of myself. Walking in love and overflowing with that marvelous grace.
And as I experience the unfolding beauty of all that He gives me, my hope is that I would reflect that to my loved one.
SO that he would experience the miracle of His marvelous grace.
August 18, 2022 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

Let Him Lead Them
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.
August 17, 2022 Our Prayer For Our Loved One Today
Isaiah 42:16 Msg. But I'll take the hand of those who don't know the way, who can't see where they're going. I'll be a personal guide to them, directing them through unknown country. I'll be right there to show them what roads to take, make sure they don't fall into the ditch. These are the things I'll be doing for them— sticking with them, not leaving them for a minute."
Abba daddy, I need you today. I am walking through unknown territory and I am lost. I am scared. I feel alone. But Lord, I know that with you I am never alone. I know that you are right there to grab my hand when I don't know the way. And Lord, I am confident that when my grip gets weak, you, in your love, hold on tighter. Lord, help me today to trust you. And Lord, I thank you that you are always beside (our loved one). Lord, (our loved one) is in unknown territory and you promise that you will be right there with (him/her). Lord, show (him/her) the road that (he/she) needs to take. Lord, guide (him/her). Protect (him/her) so that (he/she) doesn't fall into the ditch. Lord, I know that you are with (our loved one). Thank you for your promise that you will stick with (our loved one) and that you won't leave (him/her). And Lord, I pray today that you will guide (our loved one) home. I pray this in your son's precious name. Amen

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.
August 16, 2022 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.

He Hears Your Cries
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.
August 16, 2022 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

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!
August 15, 2022 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.

August 14, 2022 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.

He Will Carry You Through
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.
August 13, 2022 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.

You Are Enough
I remember those days...
When in my mind there was just nothing to give thanks for.
But God’s word says, as a man thinks, so he will become.
Today simply stop.
Stop what you are doing.
Clear your mind.
And give thanks.
Even if you don’t feel like it. Even if you can’t think of anything to be thankful for. The fact that your God, the God of the universe created you and created your loved one...
Is enough.
Because you are enough.
August 12, 2022 Our prayer for Our Loved One Today;
1 Thessalonians 1:2 TPT We are grateful to God for your lives and we always pray for you.
Lord, we sit at your feet today searching. Searching for answers, searching for resolution, searching for peace. Lord, we know that peace only comes when we practice gratitude in our hearts. Lord, today I am grateful. I am grateful for (our loved one’s) life. I am grateful that you created (him/her) perfectly, for such a time as this. I am honored to be a part of (our loved one’s) life, if not in physical presence at this moment, through the power of my prayers. Lord, I commit today to continue to pray and give thanks for (our loved one) until the day we see you face to face. We pray in your son’s holy name. Amen

Darkness to Light
I think almost every person who has ever struggled with addiction or depression or anxiety or has walked through the dark valley and is on the other side, would read this and say...yes! This was my experience.
He will meet us in our deepest anguish when we cry out to him...
He will rescue us from the deep waters...
And He will bring us to a spacious place, a place of a kind of freedom that we could have never imagined.
He turns our darkness into light.
August 11, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:
2 Samuel 22:7,17-18,20,29 NIV [7] “In my distress I called to the Lord; I called out to my God. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came to his ears. [17] “He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters. [18] He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me. [20] He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me. [29] You, Lord, are my lamp; the Lord turns my darkness into light.
Lord, today we call out to you on behalf of (our loved one). Lord hear our voice, hear our cry for (our loved one). We pray that you reach down from on high and take ahold of (our loved one); Draw (him/her) out of the deep waters (he/she) is in.

As you pray this prayer for your loved one today, know that I am praying it over you all.

August 10, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Psalm 20:1-2,4-5 NLT
[1] In times of trouble, may the LORD answer your cry. May the name of the God of Jacob keep you safe from all harm. [2] May he send you help from his sanctuary and strengthen you from Jerusalem. [4] May he grant your heart's desires and make all your plans succeed. [5] May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory and raise a victory banner in the name of our God.

God Never Sleeps
God never sleeps.
He is always watching over us.
And his heart grieves when even one of his children goes astray. Just like a shepherd who won't rest if one of his sheep has gone missing, so our Lord won't relent until his child is back in his arms.
He is looking for them now my friends.
He is searching for his lost sheep to bring them home.
And as he calls out their names, he is waiting for them to respond and say "Yes Lord."
August 9, 2022 Our Prayer for our Loved One Today:
Ezekiel 34:11-13 NIV [11] “ ‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. [12] As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness. [13] I will bring them out from the nations...and I will bring them into their own land.
Father God, we come before you today in pain. Broken. At the end of our own understanding. But thankful because we know we can completely trust your word. Lord, we hold on to the belief that the promises of scripture will come to pass. Lord, thank you today that you promise to search after (our loved one) and look after (him/her). Lord, just as a shepherd looks after his scattered flock, we ask that you will look after (our loved one) and that you will rescue (him/her) from the place where (he/she) is at today, a place of clouds and darkness. Lord, today bring (our loved one) out of that foreign place (he/she) is living in and deliver (him/her) back to (his/her) home to (his/her) family. Lord we know that nothing is impossible with you and we ask that this deliverance comes today. Lord we pray this in your son's Holy Name! Amen!

He Is....and I am Not
Recently I got a phone call. You know the kind. One of those SOS calls. And my natural instinct was to want to get my hands in the mix and "fix" things. My will be done, right?
And then I realized that I had taken my eyes off of the one who truly can fix this situation. Fear, worry, the need to take control, the need to fix, the depression that can come when things don't go our way...
These are ALL things that occur when we forget who is really God.
He is...
And I am not.
He is the lighthouse that guides us. He is the refuge in the storm. He is where I draw my strength and comfort from. And today I'll pray that my loved one will be led back to the light.
August 8, 2022 Our Prayer for Our Loved One Today:
Psalm 141:8 NIV [8] But my eyes are fixed on you, Sovereign Lord; in you I take refuge....
Oh Abba Father, we come to you today weak, tired and lost. Not able to see what's in front of us because of the storms that are raging around us. Lord, we know that the only way through the storm is to keep our eyes fixed on you, to not lose sight of the light that is always there to guide us. And Lord, today we humbly ask that (our loved one) would make that decision, that decision to fix (his/her) eyes on you. Lord we ask that You, in your sovereignty would guide (our loved one) back to a place of safety and refuge in You alone. Lord, protect (him/her), keep (him/her) safe through in the darkness and bring (him/her) back to calm waters. We know this is Your desire and we believe that it will happen. We ask this in Your Son's precious name. Amen!

You Are Set Apart
You may need to pray this today because you need to remember how precious the hard to love are...
Yesterday may have been hard. Yesterday your heart may have been broken. Yesterday you may have shattered.
But God knows you. And He has set you apart. And he has appointed you for such a time as this.
And just as he has set you apart, he has set your loved one apart.
Thanking God that He loves perfectly. And learning to love like Him.
August 07, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Jeremiah 1:5 NIV
[5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you...
Lord, thank you. Thank you that You are the God of the universe and the God of the smallest organism and the God of (my loved one). Lord I thank you that you created (our loved one) perfectly and wonderfully. I thank you that before (he/she) was even conceived You KNEW (him/her). Lord thank you that (our loved one) is set apart. You have a plan. You have a purpose for (his/her) life. You have appointed (our loved one) to do specific things for your kingdom.

When our heart is breaking comfort comes when we sit at His feet.
Love comes when we pray for those that are hard to love.
Joy comes when we pray gratitude over our situations even when the challenges seem insurmountable.
We have one certain defense in the battle for the heart of our loved ones. It is our prayers.

His Perfect Plan
Today, for some of you reading this, it's hard to simply breathe let alone try to fake it through your day. I understand. I have walked that path.
My prayer for you today is that you will press into HIS light. I PRAY that you will feel his love wrap you up.
And our hearts cry is that our loved ones would somehow, someway, through a divine appointment discover how much God loves them and they would be strengthened by that love.
He has a perfect plan for your life. He has a perfect plan for your loved one's life. Hold on to the hope of that truth.

Psalm 138:7-8 NLT
[7] Though I am surrounded by troubles, you will protect me from the anger of my enemies. You reach out your hand, and the power of your right hand saves me. [8] The LORD will work out his plans for my life- for your faithful love, O LORD, endures forever. Don't abandon me, for you made me.
Lord, today we begin this prayer grateful because we know that we can trust you. Because of your love for us we are always filled with hope.

Lord, protect (our loved one) from the enemies that entangle (him/her). We ask that you reach out your right hand and with the power that only you possess, that you save (our loved one). Lord, we believe that you have a special plan for (our loved one’s) life and even now, in the midst of darkness you are working out that perfect plan because of your great love for (our loved one). Abba Daddy, you created (our loved one) perfectly and wonderfully, so we trust that in Your great love. We know you have not abandoned (our loved one) and we wait on You expectantly for our prayers to be answered in Your son's precious name! Amen

It Won't Be Overdue
Not long ago I was talking to a mom, so much like myself. Where the deep wounds of our past drove us to behave a certain way in the here and now.
Needing love.
Needing control.
Needing justification.
Needing validation.
Needing to atone for our sins or the sins that were perpetrated on us in our past.
Because we didn’t believe that we were worthy.
Because we didn’t believe that we could be completely healed.
Because we didn’t believe that we were “enough.”
But in Him, my friends.. you are more than enough. You have been made new! Nothing in your past justifies OR holds you back. If you want to be completely free, believe this one thing today.
You have been made new!
And this same truth, this same transformation is waiting for our loved ones. It will not be overdue a single day.
August 2, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:
2 Corinthians 5:17,19 NLT [17] This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! [19] For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people's sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.
Oh Lord our Lord, what a glorious God you are! You have given us an amazing gift. The gift of new life in You. We pray today for this revelation in [our loved one]. Because of your death on the cross, we believe that [our loved one] can become a new creation through you. [His/her] old life will be completely gone and [his/her] new life will begin. What a day that will be. Lord, for those of us who love you and have already received this gift, we request of you today that [our loved one] would once and for all be reconciled with you. We believe this day of reconciliation will come in your perfect timing and ask Lord that it would come quickly. Lord we thank you for your gift of rebirth through Christ! In Jesus name we pray. Amen!
