The not knowing.
The empty chair at the table.
The obvious absence of our precious loved one.
A pain impossible to walk through.
And we can't without leaning on Him.
Remember, as hard as it is for us, it's unbearable for our Loved Ones. The distance. The separation. The alienation.
Yes, they can numb it, but when they wake up day after day in the same oppression, they feel restless and afraid and remorseful and dejected. And they don't know how to get out of that cycle.
Today I pray the giver of peace fills each of us with overflowing peace as we listen for that quite voice that says “I love you.”
December 29, 2022 Our prayer for our Loved One today:
John 14:27 "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, thank 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, 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 Heals
As hard as the holidays are, the days after can be even harder. 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 27, 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.

God With Us
One of the holiest days of the year. The precious celebration of the birth of the Savior.
Yet a day for so many of you that was 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 in a baby’s birth.
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 26, 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

The Good News
Over 2000 years ago a baby was born. He was born to give us hope.
And 33 years later the Christmas story became the Easter story. He died for us. He died to set us free.

So that we may LIVE!
That is the hope Christmas brings.
May you, my friends find hope in this promise today!

Luke 2:10-14 NIV [10] But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. [11] Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. [12] This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” [13] Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, [14] “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
Oh most Glorious God! You bring us good news that brings us great joy for each one of us. Lord thank you that you brought to us a promised savior, the Messiah, the Lord of Lords.

From Darkness to Light
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 alone.
Let Him wrap you up today in His light and in His perfect peace.
December 24, 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."

Beauty From Ashes
Sometimes we get so caught up in the trite sayings of "christianease." Like "all things work for good." And "Let go and let God." or "everything happens for a reason." I abhor those phrases.
Tell the mama who lost her son last night that all things work for good.
Tell the daddy who’s 18 year old daughter is shooting heroin to “let go.”
When we live with a loved one who is on a self-destructive path, we often live in the shadow of death and despair.
To be clear, death and disease and drugs and pain and grief....they were NOT part of God's plan. He didn't cause them. He didn't want this for His people. He wanted us to live a perfect life with Him at the center.
In the Greek text the word for broken-hearted is translated shattered soul. Thankfully His promise is to heal the shattered soul.
And He promises that while horrible things happen to us in this world He is able to take the ashes of grief and mourning and turn them into the beauty of joy and praise, comfort and hope.
December 22, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Isaiah 61:1-3 NIV [1] The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, [2] to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and ...to comfort all who mourn, [3] and provide for those who grieve in Zion---to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.
Abba daddy, we humbly come before You ready to receive the Good News that You have for us. We thank You that Your desire is to bind up the brokenhearted and to FREE (our loved one) and to release each of us from the darkness that exists around us. Lord, we proclaim Your favor over our life and (our loved one's) life and we receive the gift of Your comfort as we weep for (our loved one). Lord we accept Your comfort as we grieve. We rejoice in the coming day when you will bestow on us and on (our loved one) a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning and a garment of praise instead of despair, because that is Your perfect plan for us. And we exalt the day when (our loved one) will be called an oak of righteousness and (he/she) will stand before You whole and healed in ALL of (his/her) slender and glory. Lord, we receive today Your healing and Your faithful promises for our lives. In Jesus precious name we pray. Amen.

He Goes Before You
I will go before you my child....and make sure you have a place to sleep tonight.
I will go before you my child....and provide an angel to give you the hug that you so badly need.
I will go before you my child...and give you the food you need for lunch today.
I will go before you my child...and protect you from that person that meant to harm you.
I will go before you my child...and open the door for you to get the help you need.
I will go before you my sweet child and clear a path so wide that you will know that I am the Lord your God, the One who calls you by name.
December 21, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Isaiah 45:2-3 NLT [2] This is what the LORD says: "I will go before you, "my child", and level the mountains. I will smash down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron[3] And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness- secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name.
Lord, we come before you today facing mountains. There is a wilderness in front of us and we see no way out. So we look to your word and your promises to give us strength and encouragement. And you are the God who can make a way through that wilderness. Lord, we believe that you are going before [our loved one] and that you are leveling mountains for [him/her]. Lord, you are smashing down gates of bronze and cutting through bars of iron, to make a path for [our loved one]. Lord, we know that you have amazing treasure in store for [our loved one]. Lord, we believe this will be so miraculous that there will be no denying you Lord, that [our loved one] will KNOW that you are the Lord, who calls [our loved one] by name. Lord, we trust your promises and believe this today. In your son's precious name we pray! Amen

Fire…
The killing off.
The cleansing.
The refining.
The clearing out for all that’s new.
You might be in the middle of the fire today. The burning off.
Know...
He will bring us through the fire. And just like in nature, after the fire will come abundance.
Beauty from ashes.
For us...
For our loved one...
December 20, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Psalm 66:12 NLT [12] We went through fire and flood, but you brought us to a place of great abundance.
Lord, we come before you this today with expectation and hope in our hearts. We thank you that you are real and your promises are true. Lord, we believe that you go before us, you are with us and you go behind us. We are in the middle of the flood and the fire. Lord, [our loved one] is in the middle of the flood and fire. But you promise that you will bring [our loved one] through these trying times. Lord, we thank you! We thank you that one day [our loved one] will walk out of the fire and into a place of great abundance. That out of the ashes of our lives, something truly beautiful will be reborn. We trust you and today we are going to choose to walk in that hope! In Jesus precious name we pray. Amen

An Anchor For Our Soul
I believe that our words matter. And I believe we are called to pray as if it is so, even though it isn't yet so.
These words say that each one of us has an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. And that we have great joy coming after the fire.
So walk in this truth today. Pray this over your children, over your family! These trials will some day be over. Death has been defeated. The VICTORY has already been won!
We have this living hope as an anchor for our soul.
December 19, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today.
1 Peter 1:3-4 NIV,6-7 NLT [3] Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, [4] and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, [6] So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while[7] These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith---of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire---may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
Lord, we rejoice in your love today. We rejoice in your power. We rejoice in your promises! We BELIEVE that this battle has already been won and victory has been accomplished! Lord, we give you praise for the living hope that we have. You have reserved an inheritance for [our loved one]. An inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. One that is kept in heaven just for [our loved one]. Lord we are truly glad! We wait in expectation for the wonderful joy that lays ahead for [our loved one] even though [he/she] is enduring many trials right now. We believe the end is coming and we claim that over [our loved one's] life today. We claim victory in this battle. We do not accept defeat because you have already triumphed. Lord, we give you praise and glory and honor for all that you are doing that we can't see! We wait in great expectation for all of this to occur and thank you in your Son's precious name. Amen!

He Is With You
“I am with you my child, as you sit up at night, waiting for the phone call.”
“I am with you at the family gathering when she’s not there.”

Never Lose Hope
This season we are in may look like a tragedy to you.
Road blocks.
Dead ends.
One difficult situation after another.
Yet, we don't know the thoughts that go through our loved ones heads. We can't hear their hearts cry. But God does. He hears them and He sees their tears. And He will be faithful to rescue them when they call out to Him.
We never know when that moment will come. It may come in the middle of the most unlikely circumstances.
And it is why we can never lose hope.
December 17, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Psalm 3:3-5,8 NIV [3] But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high. [4] I call out to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy mountain. [5] I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me. [8] From the Lord comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.D

He is Truth and Light
You may be in a place this morning where you are struggling with your faith. Struggling to believe God is who he says he is because you have been wounded, broken by someone you loved.
Or maybe for some reason you feel shamed or condemned.
And I want to whisper in your ear this morning....
That you are loved! You are loved my friend. So much so that God gave His son up for you.
And that dark world you are living in can be completely consumed with the light of His love by simply turning to Him and saying "yes Lord." Yes.
December 15, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:
John 3:16-18A,21 NIV [16] For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life[17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him[18] Whoever believes in him is not condemned [21] whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
Heavenly Father....we are in awe of you today! Because You loved [our loved one] so much that You gave your one and only Son, so that when [our loved one] calls to him [he/she] will move from death to life.

Lord, we know that [our loved one] is not condemned and that when [our loved one] choses to live by the truth, the truth will come into the light so that it may be seen plainly by [our loved one] so that what [our loved one] has done has been done in the sight of God. Lord, we praise you and thank you that these things will come to pass in your perfect timing and look forward to eternity with [our loved one]! In Jesus Name we pray! Amen

He Renews Us
While things around us are rapidly changing, God’s word never changes.
Now, more than ever, I am leaning in on God’s promises.
He redeems our lives from the pit...

Surrender.

CHOOSE LIFE!
In this season we are walking through sorting out what is truth and what isn’t can be difficult.
Fear and uncertainty are all around us.
And we have a choice moment by moment about what we are going to believe.
Will we believe the truth of God's overflowing, infinite love and care for us?
Will we walk in the abundance of His mercy and forgiveness?
Will we choose FREEDOM?
Will we choose LIFE?
December 13, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Deuteronomy 30:19-20 NIV [19] This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses.

Made New!
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.
December 12, 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 t 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!

Truly Free
Freedom.
Freedom is a funny thing...
You see, we can be "free." Able to move about, able to experience the liberties our country protects. Able to think and do what we choose. And we can be completely lost and in bondage!
And we can be a prisoner in chains, in the dirtiest filthiest jails and prisons, living in the worse conditions AND WE CAN BE FREE, truly free.
You see freedom is a condition of the spirit and soul NOT our external circumstances.
And the only way to be truly free is to surrender. To lay all of our rights and our expectations, our fears and our failures, our hurts and our anger.... To lay them all at the foot of the Cross.
Then you will truly be FREE!
December 10, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Galatians 5:1 NIV
[1] It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
Thank you Lord! Thank you that you love us beyond measure! Thank you that you had a perfect plan for each one of us to live freely when you sent your son. He was broken so we could be healed. Lord He came to set me free and He came to set (our loved one) free! Lord, my prayer today is that (our loved one) would embrace that freedom. I pray (he/she) would stand firm today and allow you to remove, once and for all, the yoke of slavery from (his/her) shoulders, never again to bear that burden. Lord, we praise you today for your power to break every chain! We pray this in Jesus precious name! Amen

I believe our simplest prayers, whispered from the depths of our souls are the ones God treasures the most.
The ones that come from those desperate places...
The ones that are so painful we can only groan them...
Lord...heal us.

Remade
The valley of the shadow…
Difficult times for all of us right now.
Yet, as followers of Christ, we believe that this Earth isn't our final stopping point. And we long for the day when wholeness comes to each one of us.
However these words say that we don't have to wait for that transformation. It can happen right here, right now.
Through His power.
Are we waiting to die to live?
That is not his plan for us. His plan is that he can make us beautiful and whole today.
I have experienced this. Through the brokenness I am not the same person. In the shattering, I have been remade. I have been “put together” as I should be.
And I will not stop praying for this to happen to each of us today.
December 8, 2022 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Philippians 3:20-21 MSG [20-21] But there's far more to life for us. We're citizens of high heaven! We're waiting the arrival of the Savior, the Master, Jesus Christ, who will transform our earthy bodies into glorious bodies like his own. He'll make us beautiful and whole with the same powerful skill by which he is putting everything as it should be.
Abba Father....You are a good God. A God who hears us and who delights in us. A God who longs to give us our hearts cry. Lord today agree in prayer that there is so much more to life for us then our minds can comprehend. And so much more life in store for [our loved one] because you have called [him/her] a citizen of heaven! Lord, through the power of Jesus Christ, we believe that you will transform [our loved one] from the image [he/she] is right now, into your glorious likeness. We believe that you will make [our loved one] beautiful and whole by the powerful skill you posses to align everything as it should be. You are in the business of transformation and we believe that even now this transformation is taking place in each of us who whisper Your name. We call this into being through prayer in Your son's precious name. Amen!

They Are Precious in His Eyes
Sometimes we get so caught up in the ugly, that we don't see our loved ones the way God sees them.
But they are precious. They are a gift. They are beautiful in his eyes.
And God sent His own child to be sacrificed so that our loved ones could be saved. So that they can experience abundant life on this Earth and eternally.
Thanking God for that promise today and praying this will be the day our loved ones will whisper "save me."

Here I Am
As we struggle through each day, God is right there, wanting to wrap his arms around us and tell us how much he loves us and that he is fighting for us and our loved ones.
That is the promise.
The promise of breakthrough! The promise of healing! The promise of guidance, of meeting our needs, of strengthening us and of triumph and joy! Oh how we all long for those things in our lives. How we long for those things in our loved one’s life.
So today as you pray this prayer, take heart in this…
When you call...
He will answer;
When you cry for help...
He will say: Here am I.
