Walk in Hope

Res·cue: the act of saving [someone] from a dangerous or distressing situation.

Lord, I need rescuing today. Our people need rescuing today. Our country needs rescuing today.

And He does that. He saves us.

It may look today like you or your loved one is in an incredibly hopeless situation. But

He is right in the middle of doing the saving.

"By your mighty power you rescue."

Today I am going to choose to believe that He is at work and in the process of rescuing.

Today I am going to choose to believe that He will protect and cover all of loved ones in the shadow of His wings.

Today I will walk in hope.

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

Psalm 17:6-8 NLT

[6] I am praying to you because I know you will answer, O God. Bend down and listen as I pray[7] Show me your unfailing love in wonderful ways. By your mighty power you rescue those who seek refuge from their enemies[8] Guard me... Hide me in the shadow of your wings.

Lord, we come before You today confident, because we know that you are a God that answers prayers. We pray that today You will bend down and listen as we pray. And I thank you that when [our loved one] cries out to you, you will bend down and listen to [him/her]. Lord, hear [our loved one's] whispers and groans. Show [our loved one] your unfailing love, Lord however that looks. Use the people and events around [him/her] to reveal yourself to [our loved one]. I pray that when [our loved one] does cry out to you that you will swoop in to rescue [him/her] with your mighty hand. Protect [our loved one] from the enemies that are trying to destroy [him/her]. Enemies like confusion, pride, anger, addiction, self-loathing. Lord, whatever [he/she] is facing today, we know that you are greater. Guard [our loved one]. Draw [him/her] near to You and protect [him/her] under the shadow of Your wings. Lord, we pray with confidence that these things will happen as you will them to and ask all of these things in your Son's precious name. Amen.

Lean on Him

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.”

June 24 2023 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!

I Take Refuge in You

He came in alone...

Weary, tattered and worn.

He was weeping as he made his way to the altar, the only place where he knew he could find relief from his troubles. The only place he could be freed from his anguish.

In his distress, in his confusion, even in his altered state, deep in his heart he had the assurance that there was only one place to go for the rescue.

Praying today that our loved one would take refuge in the only one who can do the

rescuing.

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

Psalm 25:16-18,20,22 NIV

[16] Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. [17] Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish. [18] Look on my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins. [20] Guard my life and rescue me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in you. [22] Deliver Israel, O God, from all their troubles!

Father God, we come before you today expectantly, knowing you are working in our lives. Lord, we call out to you on behalf of (our loved one) this morning.

Lord, relieve the trouble of (our loved one's) heart and free (him/her) from (his/her) anguish. Look to (his/her) affliction and (his/her) distress and take this addiction away from (him/her).

His Love Knows No Bounds

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.

June 22, 2023 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!

Let him wrap you up today with His love...

June 21, 2023 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Isaiah 43:1-2,4 NIV [1] But now, this is what the Lord says---he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. [2] When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. [4] Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life.

I Place Myself 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.

Abundant Life

That day.

The darkest day in history. The day He took all of the ugly in this world and placed it on His shoulders.

He died for you and me. AND he died for the addicted, the prostitute, the adulterer, the hater, the dealer, the rebellious lost cause. He did it for all of us.

He did it so that we could be set free...

He did it so we could be healed...

He did it so we could have peace....

He did it to bring abundant life.

He did it so that we could come to him and receive all of those things and more.

June 19, 2023 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Isaiah 53:4-5 NIV [4] Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted[5] But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

"I Belong to the Lord"

One day I was sitting on my chair and I heard an audible voice say Isaiah 44. I know God can do this, but it had never ever happened to me. So I opened my Bible to Isaiah 44 and this was the promise that God gave me.

I have clung to that promise during the darkest of days. I have held tightly to the knowledge that my God won’t make a promise He can’t keep.

And I believe whether he says it out loud to you or not, His promises are for ALL of us. This promise is for you too. And when we are walking through the valley of the shadows, the ONLY thing we have complete assurance in is that His promises are true and for each one of us, for such a time as this.

Hold on today, my friends. God is always on time.

June 18, 2023 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Isaiah 44:2-5 NIV [2] This is what the Lord says---he who made you, who formed you in the womb, and who will help you: Do not be afraid, Jacob, my servant, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen. [3] For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants. [4] They will spring up like grass in a meadow, like poplar trees by flowing streams. [5] Some will say, ‘I belong to the Lord’...

Lord we honor and glorify you this morning knowing that you created each of us perfectly and wonderfully. We thank you for forming (our loved one) in the womb and for your desire to help (our loved one). We pray that you cast out all fear that (our loved one) may have today because You have chosen (him/her). Lord just as only you can poor water on a thirsty land and create streams of water through a dry ground, we believe that You will poor our Your Spirit on (our loved one) and rain blessings down on (him/her). Then (our loved one) will spring up like grass in a meadow, like a poplar tree by a flowing stream. We believe that in that moment (our loved one) will say "I BELONG TO THE LORD." We eagerly await that day and will not stop praying until it comes to pass. We thank you for your faithfulness and power in our lives. We pray this in Jesus Name! Amen.

"I Won't Leave Them For A Minute"

This morning you may feel lost and alone. Like you are walking through unknown territory. Like you are in a dark maze and keep running into walls at every turn.

I know that feeling so well.

But God says "I'll take the hand of those who don't know the way, who can't see where they're going. I'll be their personal guide!"

Our God loves you so much that He will personally guide when you don't know which way to turn. He'll keep you from going off the path and falling into the ditch.

Just reach out and take his hand. Trust Him. We don’t have to know the way, because

He will show us the way.

And I'm praying today that one day soon, our loved ones will look up and reach out and take His hand and let Him lead them out of the lies and confusion of their life.

June 16, 2023 Our Prayer For Our Loved One Today

Isaiah 42:16 Msg. But I'll take the hand of those who don't know the way, who can't see where they're going. I'll be a personal guide to them, directing them through unknown country. I'll be right there to show them what roads to take, make sure they don't fall into the ditch. These are the things I'll be doing for them— sticking with them, not leaving them for a minute."

Abba daddy, I need you today. I am walking through unknown territory and I am lost. I am scared. I feel alone. But Lord, I know that with you I am never alone. I know that you are right there to grab my hand when I don't know the way. And Lord, I am confident that when my grip gets weak, you, in your love, hold on tighter. Lord, help me today to trust you. And Lord, I thank you that you are always beside (our loved one). Lord, (our loved one) is in unknown territory and you promise that you will be right there with (him/her). Lord, show (him/her) the road that (he/she) needs to take. Lord, guide (him/her). Protect (him/her) so that (he/she) doesn't fall into the ditch. Lord, I know that you are with (our loved one). Thank you for your promise that you will stick with (our loved one) and that you won't leave (him/her). And Lord, I pray today that you will guide (our loved one) home. I pray this in your son's precious name. Amen

He Is Always At Work

"Because he rescues the poor at the first sign of need, the destitute who have run out of luck. He opens a place in his heart for the down-and-out, he restores the wretched of the earth. ...when they bleed, he bleeds; when they die, he dies.". Psalm 72:12-14 Msg.

He opens his heart to the down and out

He restores the wretched

When they bleed, he bleeds.

When they bleed, he bleeds.

He not only sees your loved one, he not only loves them, but He cares so deeply, loves so fully that when they suffer, He suffers with them.

And it says that He WILL restore them.

He's always at work my friends.

Never ever give up hope.

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

Psalm 72:12-14 NIV [12] For he will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help. [13] He will take pity on the weak and the needy and save the needy from death. [14] He will rescue them from oppression and violence, for precious is their blood in his sight.

My Eyes are Fixed on You

Recently I got a phone call. You know the kind. One of those SOS calls. And my natural instinct was to want to get my hands in the mix and "fix" things. My will be done, right?

And then I realized that I had taken my eyes off of the one who truly can fix this situation. Fear, worry, the need to take control, the need to fix, the depression that can come when things don't go our way...

These are ALL things that occur when we forget who is really God.

He is...

And I am not.

He is the lighthouse that guides us. He is the refuge in the storm. He is where I draw my strength and comfort from. And today I'll pray that my loved one will be led back to the light.

Jun 14, 2023 Our Prayer for Our Loved One Today:

Psalm 141:8 NIV [8] But my eyes are fixed on you, Sovereign Lord; in you I take refuge....

Oh Abba Father, we come to you today weak, tired and lost. Not able to see what's in front of us because of the storms that are raging around us. Lord, we know that the only way through the storm is to keep our eyes fixed on you, to not lose sight of the light that is always there to guide us. And Lord, today we humbly ask that (our loved one) would make that decision, that decision to fix (his/her) eyes on you. Lord we ask that You, in your sovereignty would guide (our loved one) back to a place of safety and refuge in You alone. Lord, protect (him/her), keep (him/her) safe through in the darkness and bring (him/her) back to calm waters. We know this is Your desire and we believe that it will happen. We ask this in Your Son's precious name. Amen!

Freedom

Freedom isn't a state of our physical circumstances, it's a condition of our heart and our spirit. We can be physically free, but in total bondage. And we can be in physical chains and experience total freedom.

Today I pray that we all step into the freedom that is ours when we fully rely on and trust the One who is truly in control.

When we surrender....we become free.

June 13 2023. Our prayer for our loved one today:

Isaiah 49:9 NLT [9] I will say to the prisoners, 'Come out in freedom,' and to those in darkness, 'Come into the light.'

Abba daddy, we come before you today because we know that you are our living water, our source of life and hope. That when all else feels like it's crumbling around us, you are holding us together. Lord, thank you that you desire freedom! Freedom for any of us who are sitting in the darkness today. Lord, I pray that you would plant a seed of desire in (our loved one's) heart today for freedom Lord, as (he/she) lives in the darkness. And we pray today that you will whisper into (our loved one's) heart "come into the light." Lord, we pray that today will be the day that (our loved one) would make that decision to step into the freedom of your light. Lord, we believe that you are at work, in our lives, in our loved one's life. Today we choose to trust you completely, knowing that you desire restoration for all of us. We pray these words today in your Son's precious name. Amen.

Love Never Fails

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.

June 12, 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.

He Will Answer

He hears you…

He hears the hurting and wounded crying out, desperate to be saved from the darkness that enfolds them.

He hears the cries of our loved one's struggling, dying and literally one whisper away from being saved, yet unable to say the words.

And in these verses we hear the story of redemption. Of a rebellious, stubborn, unfaithful man who was running from God. In his struggle, in the depth of his despair, he finally cried out and said “Lord, save me.” And he was delivered.

When things seem hopeless, when they can’t always cry out on their own behalf, we have one line of defense that is ALWAYS effective...

It is our prayers.

And God hears you. He hears your pain-filed pleas. And when you call He will answer.

June 11, 2023 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Jonah 2:2,6-7,9 NIV

[2] He said: “In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me. From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help, and you listened to my cry[6] ...But you, Lord my God, brought my life up from the pit[7] “When my life was ebbing away, I remembered you, Lord, and my prayer rose to you, to your holy temple[9] But I, with shouts of grateful praise, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the Lord.’ ”

Father, we join you today, this moment, interceding on behalf of [our loved one]. Lord, [he/she] is sitting in darkness. [He/she] is in a pit that [he/she] can't see [his/her] way out of. Lord, we pray that in [his/her] distress [our loved one] would cry out to you and you will answer [him/her]. We agree that you alone can bring [his/her] life out of the hole [his/her] is in. As [our loved one's] life is ebbing away I pray that [our loved one] would remember you Lord and that a prayer would rise from [his/her] lips to your Holy temple. I believe that soon shouts of grateful praise will come from [our loved one’s] lips and [he/she] will cry "Salvation comes from the Lord!" Lord, I trust your word to be truth and I wait in excited anticipation for these things to come to pass. We pray this in Jesus name today! Amen

They Were Healed

He broke down prison gates and cut apart bars of iron to snatch them from the door of death...

And with a whisper...

They were healed.

There Is Hope

That day. The day after the darkest day in history. A day of great grief. A day of loss. A day of confusion. She believed that what He had promised was true, yet now her son was gone.

She was crushed. Devastated. Full of angst and disappointment. Full of sorrow. She was told by God her son was going to be the King of Kings. And he had just been crucified on an old wooden cross.

You may be experiencing many of the same emotions today as Mary did on that day.

WHERE ARE YOU GOD????? THIS IS NOT WHAT I HAD PLANNED??? I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOOD??? YOU LET MY SON DIE!!!!!

But like us on this day, she couldn't see what was going to happen the NEXT day. She couldn't begin to comprehend, to wrap her brain around what God was going to do in just 24 short hours.

God IS here my friends. He is with you in this dark valley that you walk through . He is with your loved one as they are walking through the darkest of valleys.

And the HOPE. The HOPE that we have is in what happened the next day. The hope is in the promises, the assurance that we KNOW He never leaves our side.

June 8, 2023 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Psalm 23:1-6 NIV [1] The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. [2] He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, [3] he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. [4] Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. [5] You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. [6] Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Thank you Lord that you are (our loved one’s) shepherd and in You (he/she) will have everything (he/she) needs for an abundant life. Lord, as I pray that (our loved one) will rest in You today I ask that you quiet (our loved one’s) spirit and refresh and restore (our loved one’s) soul. Lord, I feel today that (our loved one’s) walking through the darkest of valley's, Lord but THANK YOU that you are always with (him/her) and that because of that, I have nothing to fear. Lord, we ask that your rod would protect (our loved one) today. Lord with your staff, draw me and (our loved one) near to you. Lord comfort (our loved one) as only you can. You provide for (him/her) a table, a feast even before (his/her) enemies, to the point where (his/her) cup will overflow with abundance! Lord, thank you that your goodness and your mercies will follow (our loved one) all of the days of (our loved one’s) life and for the amazing promise that I will dwell with you in your house forever, eternally.

You Are Chosen

You are CHOSEN.

You are called by God

Each one of us is. No one is excluded. It’s just a matter of when we are going to step into that truth.

He sees you my friends. He knows what you are going through. And he alone can take your pain, your struggles, your messes and make them into something marvelous in your life and the life of others.

Today I thank God that he chose my prodigal and pray with all my soul that soon he will step into the abundant life God has waiting for him.

Call On Your Name

He hears our cries sweet friends. He listens to our pleas, even from the depths of the pit.

And He is whispering in your ear today....

"Do not fear. I will redeem your life. I will redeem your loved one's life."

No one is too lost to be saved.

That is the hope we walk in today.
