He Comforts Us

May 14, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

Fear and anxiety are sadly, just a normal part of the journey that we are on in life in general, but even more so when we have a loved on that struggles. There is nothing new under the sun, so this is talked about extensively in God's love letter to us.

Friends, he does not want us to be a slave to fear. He does not want us to be a slave to worry. He does not want us to be a slave to anxiety.

We are his children. And like we comforted our own babies with our love, when they were fearful or anxious, so he longs to comfort us.

And our sweet loved ones...well they live with fear and anxiety every single moment of every day. They are trapped in a world they didn't ask for. A world that is foreign. One they don't belong in. And deep down they desire to be released from that world.

Praying today that each of us would take our deepest worries and fears and lay them at the foot of the cross.

May 14, 2023 Our Prayer for our Loved One today:

1 Peter 5:7 NLT [7] Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

Lord, we sit at your feet this morning filled with the worries and fears of today. Lord, sometimes the burden is just too heavy to carry. And Lord, we don't want to carry it alone. This morning we release the yoke that is choking us, we lift it off of our shoulders and lay it at the foot of the cross. We believe that we don't have to be a slave to anxiety or fear and we release those to you as well. Lord, we know that [our loved one] struggles with irrational fears. The fear of a different life. The fear of disappointing us. The fear of living life on life’s terms. And we pray against those fears and anxieties. We declare peace for [our loved one]. We declare a sound mind for [our loved one]. We declare power for [our loved one]. The power to make the choice today to live. And Lord, we pray that in the way only you can, that you would wrap [our loved one] in your love today, that through some beautiful orchestrated circumstance [he/she] would see you and how deeply you care for [him/her]. Lord, we thank you for watching over [our loved one] and keeping [him/her] close to You. We pray this in Your Son's Holy Name. Amen

He Will Restore You

May 13, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

Today, no doubt, you are suffering. Life would be hard regardless, but our current circumstances create even more hardship.

In the middle of the muck and the difficulties and the ugly, it's really hard to see when or how or where things are going to end. Hard to visualize things getting better. Hard to picture things different. Hard to imagine our loved one free and healthy and living in abundance.

Right now there is a lot we don't know. Much we don't understand. And yet, truth says that faith is believing in what is unseen. That in God's perfect timing we will "see."

These verses promise us that we WILL share in His glory. And after this time of suffering...

He will restore them.

He will support them.

He will strengthen them.

And he will place them on a firm foundation.

So we can look down the road and choose to look at the future in one of 2 ways. Either the way it is now or the way we believe God will have it be in his perfect timing.

That is the miracle of hope.

May 13, 2023 Our prayer for our loved one today:

1 Peter 5:10 NLT [10] In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation.

Lord God, You are all loving, all powerful and all kind. And in Your amazing kindness, you have called (our loved one) to share in Your eternal glory through your son Christ Jesus, who died for us. Lord (our loved one) is suffering. (He/She) is hurting. Lord, we believe Your promise today that (our loved ones) suffering will end and at that glorious time You will restore, support and strengthen (our loved one). You will place (him/her) on the firm foundation of Your love and grace and mercy. Lord we believe this promise today. We pray with confidence that this will come to pass in your perfect timing. In Your Son's name we pray. Amen

A Future Filled With Hope

May 12, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

I was sitting with a woman in prison last night and we were talking. She was struggling to visualize her future knowing that she had failed so many times. But this was the first time that she was transitioning with faith support. I said "what do you know about God? What is the truth?" She wasn't sure. And I said, "Jer 29:11 says this...that God has great plans for you. He's already determined them in advance. And those plans are for peace, for prosper and for a future filled with hope!"

Sweet friends, that is His plan for all of us. He has a plan for you, in spite of your circumstances. He has a plan for your child in spite of their current condition. And our job is to keep the promise of hope in front of us and keep praying it into our lives and our loved one's lives.

May 12, 2023 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Jeremiah 29:11-13 NIV

[11] For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. [12] Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. [13] You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Lord God, we THANK YOU that you created us all perfectly and wonderfully. You created (our loved one) and you know everything about (him/her). And Lord I believe that you have a perfect plan for (our loved one). A plan to prosper (our loved one) and not to harm (him/her). Lord, Your perfect plan is to give (our loved one) hope and to give (him/her) a future. Lord, I pray that (our loved one) will call on you today, that (he/she) would come to you and pray to you because we know that You will listen! Lord, we pray that (our loved one) will seek you with all of (his/her) heart and that when (he/she) does we will rejoice because you will answer! Lord, thank you for this amazing promise for (our loved one) today! We claim this in Jesus precious name. Amen!

Restoration and Redemption

May 11, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

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.

May 11, 2023 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.

Saving Grace

May 9, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

One of the things that we have loved doing throughout our marriage is camping. Recently we were at a local state park and it struck me in a new way….how every tree, every flower, every plant, every animal is unique and were divinely placed here on this earth for a reason. Each relying on one another for survival. Without that inter-dependence they would not be able to live.

And we are no different. We were all created intentionally for a very specific purpose, interdependent on one another for love and relationship. God put your loved one on this Earth for a determined amount of time to do predetermined work, that he has planned since the beginning of the time.

But He made us different then the plants and animals. He gave us free will. And it is in that free will that we get to choose whether or not we are going to step into all that God’s plan entails for us.

We were not a mistake. Our loved one was not a mistake.

We are all God’s precious handiwork.

Praying today that our lives would become the masterpiece that He desires each one of us to become.

May 9, 2023 Our prayer for our loved one today.

Ephesians 2:8-10 NIV

[8] For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith---and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--- [9] not by works, so that no one can boast[10] For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Lord, we come to you today thankful for the grace that You give us. We know that it is by that grace alone that [our loved one] will be saved, when [he/she] cries out in faith to You. And this is not from [him/her] or because of any one of us, it is a free gift from You Lord. This will not be accomplished through any works [our loved one] does or does not do, there is nothing that [he/she] can do to earn this gift. Lord, we pray this comes about miraculously, so the only thing [he/she] will ever be able to boost in is Your Power in [his/her] life. Lord, we believe that [our loved one] is your perfect handiwork, your masterpiece. We agree that you created [our loved one] in Christ Jesus to do great things in this world. Things that you already know about. Things you have already prepared in advance for [our loved one] to do. So Lord, we call out to you today that [our loved one] would whisper "Lord, I need you." We trust this will come to pass in Your perfect timing. We thank you Abba daddy, as we pray in Your Son's precious name. Amen! *

Give Thanks

May 8, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

It 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.

May 8, 2023 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

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. [27] And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. [28]...you will be my people, and I will be your God.

We ask this in your Son's precious name! Amen!

He's a chain breaker!

May 6, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

He is a CHAIN BREAKER!

Praying today that the hold of whatever led to the oppression be broken! The grip of trauma, neglect, low self-esteem, mental illness be loosened and gone forever.

Praying for us, that the chains of despair, doubts, grief, anger be BROKEN.

Psalm 107:8-10,13-15 NIV [8] Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind, [9] for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things. [10] Some sat in darkness, in utter darkness, prisoners suffering in iron chains, [13] Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. [14] He brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness, and broke away their chains. [15] Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind,

Lord God we give THANKS to you today for your unfailing love and your wonderful deeds in my life! Lord THANK YOU that you satisfy our spiritual thirst Lord and fill our hungry hearts with your goodness! Lord (our loved one) is sitting in darkness right now, in utter darkness, a prisoner suffering in iron chains.

May you drink from the river of His refreshing spring of living water.

And may you be filled to overflowing with the light from His fountain of life.

May 5, 2023 Our prayer for Our Loved One Today:

An Anchor for Our Soul

May 4, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

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.

May 4, 2023 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!

Choose Life!

May 3, 2023 Pamela Lanhart

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?

May 3, 2023 Our prayer for our loved one today:

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.'

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:

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!

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!

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!
