May the Lord Bless You

May 1, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

In the middle of the difficulties it is often so hard to stop and look at our loved one as a valued human being. We are often so at war with them that everything becomes about the battle or about the saving and the loving is pushed back.

So this morning, let's stop for a moment and just close our eyes and picture our loved ones the way God does. Whole and healed and lovable.

And then let's pray this blessing over them this morning.

May 1, 2023 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Numbers 6:24-26 NLT [24] 'May the Lord bless you and protect you. [25] May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. [26] May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.'

Lord today our hearts are filled with love for You because you are the author of life. Our hearts are filled with love for (our loved one) because you divinely appointed us to be (our loved one's) mom. Lord today we pray blessings over (our loved one). Lord we ask in love that you bless (our loved one) and protect (him/her). Lord will you smile on (our loved one)) and be gracious to (him/her). Lord will you show Your favor on (our loved one) and more than anything today will you give (him/her) the peace that passes understanding. Lord thank you that you are the Holy One who IS love! We ask these things in your son's name today. Amen

May You Love Out of Abundance

April 30, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

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.

April 30, 2023 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 You Trust in Him

April 29, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

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.

April 29, 2023 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Romans 15:13 NIV [13] May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Abba Daddy, we thank you because you are a good, good daddy. Everything good and perfect comes from You. And we thank you that we don't have to walk this difficult journey alone. Lord, today we pray that You, the God of hope would fill (our loved one) with hope. Fill (him/her) with the joy and peace that can only come when (he/she) trusts in You. 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.

No Weapons Will Prevail

April 28, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

No weapon...

Not viruses

Not addiction

Not mental illness

Not rebeilion

Not pride

Not lies

Not accusations

No weapon...

No weapon can prevail!

That is not our heritage.

Our legacy is life.

Our weapons are the word of God and the Power of the Living God.

Praying today that we all choose life.

Apil 28, 2023 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Isaiah 54:17 NIV [17] no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,

Spirit of God, we believe that you have established us in righteousness. We believe that your promises are proven and right. We speak life and truth over [our loved one] today. In Christ Jesus we proclaim this promise that no weapon forged against [our loved one] or anyone else in our family will prevail. We refute any lie against [our loved one] and denounce any accusation against [him/her]. We accept the heritage that you have given us and [our loved one]. We pray that our whole family would walk in the knowledge of the truth of your love, your forgiveness and your abundant life today. In Jesus Name we pray! Amen

He Makes Everything Work Together

April 26, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

My friends, our thoughts are so powerful.

When we look for the best, not the worst, the things to praise, not the things to complain about, the beautiful, not the ugly, our lives change.

And today I want to challenge you to not only practice that with your circumstances but also with your loved one.

Look for the beautiful and pray that beautiful into their very lives.

April 26, 2023 Our Prayer for Our Loved One today

Philippians 4:8-9 MSG [8-9] Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious---the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.

Heavenly Father, we thank you today that you are always good, that you are the giver of all things wonderful. I confess that I often take my eyes off of that truth, that I don’t always see the good in my life or my loved one. Lord, today I ask that I would purpose to fix my eyes on the beautiful and look for the miracles in this day, in this moment. I pray that you would give me those eyes to see the beauty in [our loved one] as well. I praise you for [our loved one] and thank you for [his/her] value, regardless of [his/her] circumstances. Lord, I thank you that you are at work in [his/her] life and that when I see broken or “too far gone” You are just getting started. I trust and believe that You see [our loved one] perfect and worthy of praise. I ask that you move in my life and in [our loved one’s] life to create excellent harmonies today. I pray this in Your Son’s Holy Name. Amen

Take Heart

April 25, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

Dealing with a struggling loved one day after day can be so difficult. We grow weary. We grow tired. We lose hope.

The word says we WILL have troubles. We will have difficulties. We will become worn out, pressed down and ready to quit.

And we will quit...unless we hold on to this truth, this hope.

That HE has overcome darkness and death. It's already been done. All he asks of us is to receive. To receive his love, his power, his strength.

I pray His light will pour into you today, sweet friends and breathe new hope into your heart.

April 25, 2023 Our prayer for our loved one today:

John 16:33 NIV [33] “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Lord, thank you today that you are fighting for us. You have this battle that is raging around us, in your hands. Lord, thank you that because of the precious words you have written to us we can have perfect peace! Lord thank you too that peace WILL come for (our loved one). Lord this world holds pain and heartache and trouble for (our loved one). Lord (he/she) is suffering right now. But Lord we DO take heart. We will not lose hope because through YOU we believe that (our loved one) will overcome the strongholds that entangle (him/her). Lord we believe that VICTORY is yours Lord and we thank you that it's guaranteed. The final word of the final sentence of the final chapter has already been written. We will WALK in that victory today Lord. In Jesus name we pray! Amen!

Abundant Life!

April 24, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

The enemy's tactics are rampant in most of our families. He has wreaked havoc in so many lives. Your life may be one of them. But that is not God’s intention.

His intention was freedom for each one of us through the birth of His precious son. The baby born 2000 years ago to bring life for each one of us, the death that was the punishment for all of us and the resurrection that set us free once and for all.

So while there are forces all around us that want to steal our loved one, steal our joy and sometimes steal our very life, remember this…

He can only take from us what we give him.

There is a love that holds greater power than anything the thief can steal from us. The love that came for you and for your precious loved one.

May you step into that love and abundance today.

April 24, 2023 Our prayer for our loved one today!

John 10:10 NIV [10] The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Lord, we cry out to you today on behalf of all of us who are lost and dying. Lord, we recognize the conflict. Light and dark, love and hate, life and death. Lord, there is a thief who has come to steal [our loved one], to kill [our loved one's] spirit and to destroy [his/her] life.. Lord we believe that you have come so that [our loved one] may live in all of the glorious fullness you desire for [him/her]! We pray against the evil forces that have their grip around [our loved one's] heart today and pray that you will reach down and grab ahold of [him/her], pull [him/her] up and draw [him/her] to you. We believe in your power to strengthen [our loved one] to overcome. We declare today that love wins, that life will win. In Jesus precious name we pray! Amen.

From Dark to the Light of Love

April 23, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

In the middle of all of the ugly...

It is so easy to forget to thank God for all that we have. And if we were to be honest, it's sometimes hard just to find things to thank God for with our loved one.

But we must do it anyway...

Focus on who they are in Christ, who God created them to be...

It is the one sure way to change our heart...

From anxiety to peace...

From anger to calm...

And from the darkness of hate to the light of love...

Because love will lead them home.

April 23, 2023 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Ephesians 1:16-18 NLT [16] I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, [17] asking God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God[18] I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called-his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.

Lord, I will not stop giving thanks to You for my [loved one]. I will pray for [him/her] constantly. I ask today that you would give [our loved one] spiritual wisdom and insight so that [our loved one] might come to a knowledge of you. I pray that [our loved one's] heart will be flooded with light so that [our loved one] can understand the confident hope that you can give [our loved one] because you have given [loved one] a rich and glorious inheritance! Thank you Lord for the work you are doing in [our loved one's] life. We pray this today in Your Son's Precious and Holy Name! Amen!

HOPE

April 22, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

Someone asked me recently what I perceived my most important mission to be? My answer was that one of the most important things that has gotten me through the darkest times in my life, is camping on the word HOPE.

As I was thinking about this, I thought how so many of us get to the place where we have at times, struggled with finding hope. I know many of you today would say you are losing hope.

And I think about those out there who are caught up in a lifestyle of oppression and darkness. Living in a way no one could have even possibly imagined years ago, least of all themselves.

And I wonder....is there hope anywhere in their thinking? Is there a spark?

So today, my prayer is that God himself, or someone he sends would whisper hope into our loved ones lives. Lord, breath hope into the lives today of those that have no hope.

April 22, 2023 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Psalm 71:14 NIV [14] As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more.

Abba daddy, we come before you today with longing. Longing for more of your love. Longing for more of your power. Longing for more of your peace. And longing for more of the hope that only you can give. Lord, we ask today that you would fill us. Fill us to overflowing with hope. The hope that comes from knowing that you are a good daddy and that your promises are true. And Lord, today we pray that You would come to (our loved one) and whisper hope in (his/her) ear as well. Fill (him/her) with the power that comes from having even a tiny bit of hope. Lord, we praise You today because we trust You and we know Your promises will be fulfilled. Lord, we look forward to the day when (our loved one) will praise you as well! Our trust and confidence is in You. We ask these things in Your Son’s precious name. Amen!

Your Love Shapes Our Life

April 21, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

“You can believe that if you want, but I don’t believe what you believe.” Words that pierced the core of my heart.

Even though I knew deep down those words came out of his pain, they made my pain greater.

But I knew…

We know…

That he can restore sight to the blind and bring the dying and dead back to life.

Lord, let your love shape us…

Let your death bring us back to life…

That is my only hope...

April 21, 2021 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Psalm 119:41-49 MSG [41-48] Let your love, God , shape my life with salvation, exactly as you promised; Then I'll be able to stand up to mockery because I trusted your Word.... I'll stride freely through wide open spaces as I look for your truth and your wisdom; Then I'll tell the world what I find, speak out boldly in public, unembarrassed. Remember your promise to me. It is my only hope.

Father God, thank you for another day that we can praise you and bless you for (our loved one). Lord, we pray that your love, God would shape (our loved one's) life with salvation, exactly as you have promised; Lord, we know that that is the only way (our loved one) would be able to stand against (his/her) oppression...because (he/she) trusts in your word. I pray that (our loved one) would stride freely in wide open spaces as (he/she) looks for your truth and your wisdom.

We pray that (our loved one) would give testimony to the world what (he/she) found and that (he/she) would speak out boldly, in public, unembarrassed about what You have done in (his/her life). Lord we trust in your promises today as they are our only hope. We look forward to the day when these promises will be fulfilled! In Jesus Name we pray! Amen.

You are Loved and Valued

April 20, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

Over the years as I've read these verses it's so easy to think in terms of others or of the really "BIG" sins in our life. Today as you pray this for your loved one I challenge you to think of the "little" things that we do that we repeat over and over. For me it's jumping to conclusions (the way out is to stop and breathe and not make assumptions). It's to over-react (again, slow down before I speak). Maybe it's a swear word that flies out of my mouth when I'm mad (oops - that darn mouth always gets me in trouble). It is often to go to the diet coke or food when I'm stressed (not necessary and not the answer to the problem). Or my big one (drum roll please) is to worry way too much about what other people think (replace the lies from the enemy with the truth of God -- that I am loved and valued no matter what. Period.)

And God promises to help us to overcome any struggle, any stronghold, any temptation in our life. Wow! Now all I have to do is LET Him! That's part of my recovery program. To give all of this yuck back to God

So I ponder these verses today as the apply to my life and I pray them for my loved ones as they apply to their lives.

April 20, 2023 Our prayer for our loved one today

1 Corinthians 10:13 But remember this—the wrong desires that come into your life aren’t anything new and different. Many others have faced exactly the same problems before you. And no temptation is irresistible. You can trust God to keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can’t stand up against it, for he has promised this and will do what he says. He will show you how to escape temptation’s power so that you can bear up patiently against it.

Lord God, our hearts are burdened for our loved ones. Lord, to whom can we go but You. You hear our broken cries. Lord, we pray today on behalf of (our loved one). Lord, we know that the wrong desires that have come into (our loved one’s) life aren't anything new and different to you. We know that others have faced and conquered these very same problems. And NO temptation that could come before (our loved one) is irresistible. Lord, we pray that (our loved one) would trust You when (his/her) temptation is so strong that (he/she) feels that (he/she) can't stand up against it. Lord, we know that your promises are true and you promise that you will provide (our loved one) a way to escape temptations power and bear up against it if (he/she) simply calls out to you. Lord, we pray that (our loved one) would whisper the words "help me Jesus" today. We pray this in your son's holy name. Amen!

Love Never Fails

April 19, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

Today, 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.

April 19, 2023 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.

Surrender

April 18, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

I read these verses this morning and I just thought, this is perfect for us. Jesus is looking at each of us, who might think that somehow WE will be the one to get them into a rehab or off the streets or that somehow by our power we are going to be the one who saves them.

But when we have stepped out of the way, I have seen God do things beyond what we could have ever imagine.

If you think you can pull this off in your own strength or by your actions, he's saying “nope, not going to happen.”

However, we have every chance in the world if we trust God to do it.

That is surrender...

April 18, 2023 Our Prayer for Our Loved One today:

Matthew 19:26 MSG [26] Jesus looked hard at them and said, "No chance at all if you think you can pull it off yourself. Every chance in the world if you trust God to do it."

Abba pappa.....oh Lord, I come to you today because I know that I am getting in your way Lord. I admits that I want to be the one to save but I know that job belongs to you and you alone. Lord, I realize that while I can be a tool for you to use, I do not have the power to transform (my loved one). But you do Lord. Lord today help me to trust you with (my loved one's) life. I surrender (him/her) at the foot of the cross. (He/she) belongs to you Lord. Lord, I ask for the strength to walk through today in cooperation with you. Lord, I DO trust you Lord. And I thank you for the work you are doing in my life. I pray this prayer in your Son's Holy Name. Amen

You Are Set Apart

April 17, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

Each morning I take time and space to sit on my chair with my cup of coffee and reflect on my life. It’s also a time when I choose to practice gratitude. I believe the enemy wants to distract us from finding joy and love and peace.

In the middle of difficult times, it’s easy to lose sight of the gifts we have been giving.

It's raining out? Thank God you have a roof over your head.

Your car has broken down? Thank God that you have 2 feet and can walk somewhere.

And no matter what’s going on with you or your loved one, by the sheer nature of the fact that God created you, you are loved and you, my friend are HIGHLY valued. And so is your loved one.

And He is on your side. He wants only good for you and your family.

Today I am choosing to see my loved one as God sees Him.

Thanking God that He loves perfectly. And learning to love like Him.

April 17, 2023 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. Lord, I pray that (our loved one) would, through something or someone, see you today. That (he/she) would experience Your love. And that today would be the day (he/she ) would begin to understand how much You love (him/her). We pray this in Your son's precious name. Amen!

His Love Will Lead Them Home

April 15, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

A simple promise..

He is always with us, watching over all of us.

And He WILL bring them back to us one day. His love will lead them home.

April 15, 2023 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Genesis 28:15 NIV [15] I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you. ”

Father God, we come before you today confident that your word is truth and that you will never leave us and never leave (our loved one). Lord, we pray that you will be with (our loved one) today and that you will watch over (him/her) wherever (he/she) may go. We believe that one day you will bring (him/her) back to "this land" - to us...to (his/her) family, to those who love (him/her). Lord, we believe today that you will not ever leave (our loved one) and that you will do what you have promised, that your love will lead (him/her) home. Lord, we trust in your words this morning. Lord we ask that they would give us peace. In Jesus Name we pray! Amen.

Hide them in your precious shelter...

And one day...

Set them high on your rock...

To triumphantly sing Your praises and shout for joy!

Psalm 27:4-5 NIV [4] One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple[5] For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.

Father God, there is one thing that I ask of you today, one thing that I seek; that [our loved one] would dwell in your house all of the rest of the days of [his/her] life, that [our loved one] would gaze upon your beauty and that [our loved one] would seek you in your holy temple. I pray that in [our loved one’s] moments of trouble that you would keep [him/her] safe in your dwelling place; that you would protect [our loved one] in the shelter of Your sacred tent and that You would set [our loved one] high upon a rock.

The Truth Sets Us Free

April 13, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

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.”

Freedom comes when we believe the truth.

The truth is....God LOVES you!

The truth is....God LOVES your prodigal more than you do!

The truth is....there is NO condemnation through Christ!!!

The truth is....He is able to break any and every chain!!!

The truth is...NO weapon forged against you or your loved one’s can prevail.

Walk in truth and you will walk in freedom today.

April 13, 2023 Our prayer for our loved one today.

John 8:32 NIV [32] Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Lord, we come to you in love and adoration today with a heart of gratitude, because your word gives us hope! We know in our hearts that we can fully put our trust in you and you alone. Lord, today we pray that you will reveal truth to us and to [our loved one]. We believe that where Your truth exists, chains will be broken and [our loved one] will be set free! I pray against any lies that I or [our loved one] might be believing. Give us clarity and purpose and give us the power and strength to walk in that truth today. We pray this in your son's precious name! Amen.

Great Abundance

April 12, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

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...

April 12, 2023 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

Never Lose Hope

April 10, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

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.

April 10, 2023 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.

Oh Lord, thank you that you are a God who loves us and cares for us and loves our children even more than we do. Lord, we ask today that you be a shield around (our loved one). Lord, lift (our loved one's) head high today. Lord, when (our loved one) calls out to you we pray that you answer (him/her) from your Holy Mountain! Lord, when (our loved one) lies down to sleep let (him/her) awake anew because You sustain (him/her). Lord from YOU comes deliverance for (our loved one). Lord, may your blessings be on (him/her) today. We pray this in your Son's precious name! Amen.

He Saves Us

April 10, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

Recently a young woman in recovery shared her story with me. She described THE moment. The moment that she completely surrendered, turned her back on her old life and ran into the arms of her Abba Daddy.

The moment she was radically and instantly delivered. She was in a state of near death (literally) and God not only delivered her from death but then completely redeemed her life.

I picture God standing off in the distance, with his arms open wide, saying "come, come to me. I have this gift for you! It's called LIFE." It is available for ALL of us when we run to Him instead of doing life our own way.

Praying we ALL have that moment of surrender and run into His open arms today!

April 11, 2023 Our Prayer for our Loved One today:

Psalm 37:39-40 (MSG)The spacious, free life is from GOD, it’s also protected and safe. GOD -strengthened, we’re delivered from evil— when we run to him, he saves us.

Lord, today we come before you desiring freedom! Freedom from oppression and death. We know that You and You alone give us life and give it abundantly. Lord, we thank you for the gift of life and pray today that (our loved one) would desire that gift as well. Lord, we pray that (our loved one) would chose to live that spacious, free life that only You can give (him/her) and in that life (he/she) would be protected and safe. Lord, we pray (our loved one) would be GOD-strengthened and delivered from all evil. Lord when we run to You, You save us! Lord, we pray that (our loved one) would run to You today! We thank you that you are our deliverer and pray this in Your Son's precious name! Amen
