Discouragement…
Fear…
Abandonment…
Physical weakness…
Emotional weakness…
Trauma…
These are the things that we face day after day when we love someone who is suffering.
And it’s easy to absorb ourselves in our own pain.
Yet they are in pain as well.
These are the same things that our loved ones face every single day.
That is not your destiny my friends. And it is not theirs.
Praying strength and courage today for all of us.
October 24, 2022 Our prayer for our Loved One today:
Joshua 1:9 NIV [9] Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Almighty God, we thank you today that while we might feel abandoned by our family, friends and neighbors, you have not abandoned us. You promise to be with us wherever we go. Lord, thank you that you are our strength and courage. Today I pray that you will walk with (our loved one). That you will pursue (him/her). Lord when (our loved one) feels weak, I ask that you fill (him/her) with strength. When (he/she) is fearful, remind (our loved one) that (he/she) is courageous. Lord, change (our loved one’s) discouragement into hope today. Hope for healing. Hope for freedom. Hope for a new life in you. Lord, we thank you that you will not stop chasing after (him/her) until (he/she) belongs to you. We pray these things in your son’s precious name. Amen

Loving the Way God Loves
Hosea, the story of unconditional love. Of redemption. Of how even after this woman prostitutes herself and keeps going back to her old life, Hosea still loves her.
And it is in the Bible to show us about God's relationship with us. No matter what we've done, no matter how deep we are in the pit, no matter how lost we are...
God can find us, God can pull us out, God can transform us.
Because He loves us.
That is hope. And that is the promise that I cling to every day.
And as God continues to show us His unconditional love, by example we learn how to love others.
Today I pray that I will love my tribe the way God loves me.
October 23, 2022 Our prayer for Our Loved One today:
Hosea 14:4-5,7-9 NLT [4] The Lord says, "Then I will heal you of your faithlessness; my love will know no bounds, for my anger will be gone forever. [5] I will be to Israel like a refreshing dew from heaven. Israel will blossom like the lily; it will send roots deep into the soil like the cedars in Lebanon. [7] My people will again live under my shade. They will flourish like grain and blossom like grapevines. 8] ...I am the one who answers your prayers and cares for you. [9] Let those who are wise understand these things. The paths of the Lord are true and right, and righteous people live by walking in them.
Abba Father...we cry out to you today knowing that your heart breaks just as ours does. We pray on behalf of (our loved one) this morning. Lord, we pray today that you will heal (our loved one) of (his/her) unfaithfulness today because your love knows no bounds for (him/her) and we rejoice that your anger will be gone forever! Lord we believe today that You will be to (our loved one) like a refreshing dew from heaven, and that (our loved one) will blossom like the lily, (he/she) will send (his/her) roots deep into the soil like the cedars of Lebanon. Lord, I trust that one day (our loved one) will once again live under the protection of Your shade and (he/she) will flourish like grain and blossom like the grapevines. Lord, we rejoice that You are the one who answers our prayers and cares for us and (our loved one). We thank you that you have given us an understanding of these things. Lord, we KNOW that your paths are always true and always right and that we and (our loved one) will truly live by walking in them. Lord, we thank you for this promise today! In Jesus precious name we pray! Amen!

Small Beginnings
In our flesh, we want the instant healing, the immediate transformation, the tidy end to the story.
But God says, “I am in this. Don’t despair.”
The heartfelt conversation
That one phone call
The pondering question
The smile
The whisper
Today, remember. God rejoices over any little step we take towards Him.
October 22, 2022 Our prayer for Our Loved One today:
Zechariah 4:10 Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin.
Lord, thank you that you are in every detail of our lives. That you are the God of big miracles but you are also the God of small steps of progress that lead to great changes. Lord, today we pray that (our loved one) would start. That (he/she) would take that small beginning, that first movement towards Him. We thank You that you see (our loved one) and that you rejoice over the work that is beginning in (his/her) life. And Lord, we pray that even though we don’t see it yet, that we also would rejoice over the good work that we trust you have begun in (our loved one’s) heart. We pray that You would fill us with peace and patience as You move in (our loved one’s) life. We pray this in Your Son’s Holy Name. Amen

The Story of Hope
A former dealer and felon.....now a youth counselor.
A former prostitute....now helps people get into treatment.
A former adulterer...now ministers to the homeless.
A person formally deep in the throes of addiction....now a pastor.
These are the stories of u-turns. The stories of deliverance. These are the stories of real people, after 10, 20 or more years of oppression, being set free.
These are the stories I cling to each day.
Because these are the stories of hope.
October 21, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:
2 Corinthians 6:2 Voice
[2] For God says through Isaiah, When the time was right, I listened to you; and that day you were delivered, I was your help. Look, now the time is right! See, your day of deliverance is here!
Father God, we know that your heart breaks when any of your children fall away from you. Lord, we believe that before today you set things in motion for (our loved one), that you already know the appointed time for everything. Lord, we ask that today Your compassion would be upon (our loved one) and that (he/she) would cry out to You. We pray that TODAY would be the day of deliverance for (our loved one) and that You would listen to (him/her) cry for help and set (him/her) free! Lord, we believe Your word is truth. We know that you have a plan and purpose for (our loved one’s) life. We have faith that Your favor would come upon (our loved one) and that this would be the day (he/she) will move from death to life. In your son’s precious name we pray. Amen.

You Are Loved
I remember trying...
Trying so hard to love my prodigal.
Striving in my own strength to manufacture the love that I needed to muster up to do life with him.
I failed.
Almost daily I failed.
The more I failed the more I realized just how exorbitant God’s love was for me. In spite of myself, he loved me beyond my wildest imagination.
When I grasped that, I was able to love my prodigal out of the overflow of all the love He has for me.
If you can grasp this one thing today....
Know how very much he loves you. And you will be able to love out of that abundance.
October 20, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Ephesians 3:14-19 NIV
[14] For this reason I kneel before the Father, [15] from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. [16] I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, [17] so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, [18] may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, [19] and to know this love that surpasses knowledge---that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Lord, we kneel before you today Father, at times distant, at times skeptical, mostly desperate. Lord, we long to feel your presence Lord and even more we long for (our loved one) to feel you near to (him/her). Lord, we pray today that out of Your glorious riches, you would strengthen (our loved one) in (his/her) inner being, with the power of your Spirit, so that Christ would dwell in (his/her) heart through faith. Lord, I pray that (our loved one) through Your power would grasp today, in this moment, just how wide, how long, how high and how deep Your exorbitant love is for (him/her). Lord, I pray that (he/she) would know, deep in (his/her) spirit, that it's this love and this power that will get (him/her) through this day. Lord, we ask today that you would fill (our loved one) with the FULL measure of You! Lord, we believe through this love (our loved one) can conquer anything. Lord, we thank You in advance for what you are about to do in (our loved one's) life and wait in confidence today. In your son's precious name we pray! Amen

May He Fill You With Joy
One moment...
One moment in his suffering he walked in the doors of the healing room for prayer.
And God met him there.
In this young man’s deepest pain, the God of hope filled him with all joy and peace... He filled him with hope and set him free.
My friends... in your own suffering, as you put your hope in Him, I pray that you too, would be filled to overflowing with power, with joy and with His perfect peace.
And I pray that our own loved ones would have a similar encounter. One that will bring them peace.
October 19, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Lord, we pray that the power of the Holy Spirit would touch (our loved one) so that (he/she) would overflow with HOPE today. Touch (our loved one) Lord. Draw us all to you today. Wrap us up in your love. In Jesus precious name we pray. Amen.

Perfect Love
Right now…
There’s a lot of fear going around.
Fear of loss of income
Fear of isolation
Fear of relapse
Fear of death.
There’s a lot of fear going around.
But God.
But God’s love.
His LOVE....His love for us is what can dispel every one of our fears. The love that placed him on the cross. The love that died for us. That love is ours. All we have to do is recognize it and step into that precious love.
May you know and understand and experience God's love for you in a profound and real way today. And I pray that our loved ones experience that as well.
October 18, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:
1 John 4:16,18 NIV [16] And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them[18] There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear...
Abba Daddy thank you! Thank you for being the God of love. Lord we know and rely on this truth. That you are love. Today, we come before your thrown and ask that [our loved one] would begin to know and rely on this truth as well. That You love [our loved one].

Lord, whatever it is that is holding [our loved one] back, whatever it is that they fear, let YOUR LOVE drive that fear out of [him/her] today! More than anything else we pray that [our loved one] would experience this truth in a real and tangible way. There is nothing to fear when [he/she] is walking in Your precious and perfect love. We pray that that love would rain down on [him/her]. We pray this in your son's holy and precious name. Amen

I Place My Loved One In Your Care
Surrender...
It's a daily thing….
Sometimes a moment by moment thing…
And these verses remind us that we can fully trust the One who keeps us safe, who shelters us from danger.
Lord...I place myself in your care.
Lord...I place my loved one in your care.
October 17, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Give Thanks!
t is so important for us to not loose sight of the things we have to be grateful for. Gratitude changes a heart. When I am struggling to see the good in my loved one, see good in my circumstances or see good in the world, I can pause and set my thoughts on the many things I am thankful for.
When we have gratitude in our heart it is impossible to be bitter or angry or selfish or rude.
It will instantly fill me with love for the people in my life that are sometimes hard to love.
So today's prayer is a prayer of gratitude, asking for nothing, but thanking Him for all the good we have in our lives.
October 16, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV [16] Rejoice always, [17] pray continually, [18] give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Lord, today is a difficult day for many of us. For most, there is an empty seat at our tables and in our hearts. We know of no other way to get through the difficulties then to press in to you and give thanks. Today we rejoice, rejoice in the loved one you gave us and in [his/her] precious life. Lord, we give thanks. We give thanks for choosing us to be [our loved one's] family. And Lord, we will pray continually until [our loved one] is home and fully alive in Christ Jesus our Lord. We thank you Lord that we have a God we can come to who hears our prayers and who gives us the power and strength to walk through this day. We pray today in your Son's precious name. Amen

I Will Bring Healing
For so many years, in the middle of all of the pain, it was difficult to picture an outcome that included my loved one being healed.
When our home was in upheaval, It was hard to imagine our home with peace and security.
But that is God’s desire for us and for our loved ones.
His promise is to bring healing into our lives.
And I will tell you that while we pray this over our loved ones He can give that to us LONG before our loved ones ever choose to change their lives. YOU are “His people.” You are the one today that he wants to bring health and healing to.
And one day, in His absolute perfect timing He will bring it to your loved one as well...
And you will be ready.
October 15, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Jeremiah 33:6 NIV [6] “ 'Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing.... I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security.
Oh Lord, we love you. And we trust you. Even when it hurts so bad, and it's so hard to believe, we trust the promises in your word. Lord, your word says YOU are our Jehovah Rapha, our great healer. And today we pray that healing over (our loved one). We believe that you alone have the power to make us whole. That you will heal (our loved one) and that you will allow (our loved one) to enjoy abundant peace and abundant security. We claim peace over (our loved one), we claim safety over (our loved one) and we claim LIFE over (our loved one). Lord, we thank you that according to your word it's already been done. Today fill us with that same peace and security to trust and not doubt as we surrender (our loved one) and give (him/her) to you today. We pray this in Jesus precious name. Amen!

Walk in Confidence
Friends, God is in the business of performing open heart surgery.
He can take the person you don’t even recognize anymore...
He can take that old, stony heart...
He can take that spirit of oppression...
Remove it in an instant...
And remake us into something completely new.
Walk in that confidence today.
October 12, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Ezekiel 36:26-28 NIV [26] I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.

Living Water
Our souls were created with a longing to be filled. God created us to be filled with Him.
We look to the things that he created to fill our spirits rather than to the creator himself. Especially when we feel lost or alone or broken, we look to our friends (who often fail us), we look to our spouses (who can disappoint us), we look to money (and we always come up short), we look to our corporate success (and that completely stresses us out). We may even look to drugs or alcohol ourselves (I need that cigarette or I deserve that glass of wine.)
But the only thing that is truly going to fill our empty souls and the only thing that is going to truly fill our loved ones empty souls, is if we drink the living water, the source of life itself, that comes from God above.
Praying today that you would drink from the refreshing well of his love and his peace. And praying that our loved ones would do the same.
October 11, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:
John 4:10-11,13-14 NIV [10] Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” [11] Where can you get this living water? [13] Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, [14] but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
Good morning Father God. The words of Jesus bring hope to us this morning. You have a gift you want to give (our loved one) today. Lord, we know that if (our loved one) ask you, you will give (him/her) living water. We believe that there is only one place to get this living water. (Our loved one) can drink the water of this world and (he/she) will always be thirsty for more. But Lord, your word says that if (our loved one)drinks the water YOU give (him/her) (he/she) will never thirst again. We pray today that (our loved one) would drink the water that You give (him/her) and that it will become in (him/her) a spring of water welling up to a life of freedom! We confidently call this in to being today! In Jesus Name. Amen!

Love Never Fails
Today, as we focus on love, may you grasp how much HE loves you.
He loves you fully. He loves you in the heaviness, the fear, the doubt and the resignation.
And as he loves us, so we are called to love fully in the messiness of it all.
Because love never fails.
October 10, 2022 Our prayer for Our Loved One today:
1 Corinthians 13:7 ESV [7] Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Merciful Father, we come to you today knowing….knowing how much you love us. Knowing how much you believe in us. Knowing how much you desire that each one of us step into the fullness you have for us in this life. Lord we ask that you would give is the strength to bear up under the load we are carrying, the imagination to believe the goodness of heaven on Earth today, the power of hope in the restoration of our family and the perseverance to endure any struggle that comes our way today. We pray for [our loved one] today. [He/she] is carrying a boulder that is far too heavy for [him/her]. Give [him/her] the strength to bear up under the weight of all that [he/she] is carrying today. Lord, we ask that you will fill [our loved one’s] mind with the dreams and visions for [his/her] future that you have given [him/her] so [he/she] can begin to walk in that truth. We pray that you would fill [our loved one’s] heart to overflowing with the hope that only begins to well up as a result of your love. And we ask that you would fill [our loved one’s] spirit with the determination to endure through the struggles, knowing that just beyond this mountain [he/she] is climbing are your streams of living water. Lord, we know that love never fails. Lord, we receive this gift from you today and pray these things in your holy name. Amen.

The Truth Will Set You Free
The lies of the enemy will hold us captive.
“I am a failure”
“I am not good enough”
“I caused these problems.”
“This will never change.”

You Are Loved
This...
This is as real as it gets...
Pain...
Darkness..
The lost causes...
The abandoned...
The hopeless cases...
And then, the quiet whisper of our Abba Daddy that says...
I am with you. I have redeemed you. I will save you.
May you hear that whisper today. May your loved one hear it today as well....
those words that say “you are loved.”
October 7, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Psalm 88:1-8, 89:1 MSG
[1-8] God, you're my last chance of the day. I spend the night on my knees before you. Put me on your salvation agenda; take notes on the trouble I'm in. I've had my fill of trouble; I'm camped on the edge of hell. I'm written off as a lost cause, one more statistic, a hopeless case. Abandoned as already dead, one more body in a stack of corpses, And not so much as a gravestone--- I'm a black hole in oblivion. You've dropped me into a bottomless pit, sunk me in a pitch-black abyss. I'm caught in a maze and can't find my way out, blinded by tears of pain and frustration. Your love, God, is my song, and I'll sing it! I'm forever telling everyone how faithful you are. I'll never quit telling the story of your love.
Lord God, we cry out to you today because you are our last chance! We spend day and night on our knees before you. Lord, we pray on behalf of (our loved one). We ask that you put (our loved one) on your salvation agenda! Lord, take note of the trouble (he/she) is in. My heart knows that (our loved one) has had (his/her) fill of trouble. (He/she) is camped on the edge of hell. Most have written (him/her) off as a lost cause, as one of the statistics, as a hopeless case. Lord, many have abandoned (our loved one) as already gone. (Our loved one) is in a black hole today, in a bottomless pit, an abyss. (He/she) is caught in a maze of destruction that (he/she) can't get out of. (He/she) is blinded by tears of pain and frustration. But Lord, we believe in Your precious love. We believe You will save (our loved one). Abba Daddy, You are faithful and one day (our loved one) will sing of Your love and never quit telling the story of how You saved (him/her). Lord, we pray this prayer today with confidence! We ask these things in Your mighty, mighty name. Amen.

Rest in His Safety
Today you may feel unsafe. You may feel vulnerable. You may feel exposed.
But today He is whispering something different to you.
You are safe.
He is always with you.
And you don't need to feel shaken.
Picture our loved ones literally resting in God's big, huge, loving hands.
Rest in His safety....

Nothing Can Separate Us!
One of the things that I know many of us have struggled with is not just dealing with the stronghold of addictions or mental health issues, but that in many cases, our loved ones walk away from their faith.
So friends, if you are struggling with this today, please hear me when I say this...
NOTHING can separate us from God's love. NOTHING. Not one thing you do or I do or our loved ones do can change that. He loves us immeasurably more than we could ever imagine. And he loves our loved ones right now, right where they are at no matter how fast they are running from him. So be assured, that NEVER EVER changes.
And as we are to love like our Heavenly Father, my heart is to demonstrate that same steadfast love. Do I love my prodigal in a way, that when he chooses to change, he will want to come home to the Lord?
I pray today that you will walk in this assurance.
NOTHING, NOTHING can separate us from His love!
October 5, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today.
Romans 8:37-39 NIV [37] No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. [38] For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, [39] neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Lord, we come before you today grateful. Grateful for your promises and for your son's death on the cross. Because Lord, we believe these words today. That in ALL things (our loved one) can be more than a conqueror because of YOU who loves (him/her) immensely! Lord, we are convinced that NOTHING...not death or life, angels or demons, not the present or the future or ANY powers; not heights or depths or anything else in all of creation could EVER separate (our loved one) from your love that is in Christ Jesus. Oh Lord, it is easy to love the lovable God but there are days when I am unlovable and my child is unlovable. We THANK YOU today that your love is constant and exorbitant and never-ending. We pray today that (our loved one) will feel that love raining down on (him/her). And we ask Lord, that you would fill my heart with that kind of love for (our loved one). We thank you and praise you and ask these things in Jesus precious name. Amen!!!
