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.”
July 29, 2024 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!

The Rescue
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.
July 28, 2024 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Psalm 25:16-18,20,22 NIV

[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!

Love as He Loves
Hosea, the story of unconditional love. Of redemption. Of how even after this woman prostitutes herself and keeps going back to her old life, Hosea still loves her.
And it is in the Bible to show us about God's relationship with us. No matter what we've done, no matter how deep we are in the pit, no matter how lost we are...
God can find us, God can pull us out, God can transform us.
Because He loves us.
That is hope. And that is the promise that I cling to every day.
And as God continues to show us His unconditional love, by example we learn how to love others.
Today I pray that I will love my tribe the way God loves me.
July 27, 2024 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 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!

By His Wounds We Are Healed
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.
July 24, 2024 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.
July 23, 2024 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 Will Guide Them
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.
July 21, 2024 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).

In You We Take Refuge
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.
July 19, 2024 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!

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.

1 Corinthians 13:7 ESV [7] Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

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.

Pain Ends
The chords of death…”I don’t want to live this way, but I don’t know any other way to live.”
The overwhelming hopelessness…”There is no way out.”
The cry for help…”Save me. Free me.”
When we cry to him....
He will reach down and take hold of us.
He will rescue...
And he will set us in a spacious place.
His promises never change. Hold on, this pain will end.

Psalm 18:3-4,6,16-17,19 NIV
[3] I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I have been saved from my enemies[4] The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me[6] In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears[16] He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters[17] He rescued me from my powerful enemy....19] He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.

The chords of death entangle [our loved one]; the flood of destruction overwhelms [him/her]. Lord, we ask that in [our loved one's] distress [he/she] would call out to you, that [he/she] would cry to you Abba Father for help! We pray you would hear [our loved one's] voice; that [his/her] cry would come to you. And that you would reach down from on high and take hold of [our loved one], that you would draw [him/her] out of deep waters and firmly plant [him/her] on solid ground. Bring [our loved one] into a spacious place, a place of peace, because we know that you delight in [our loved one]. We trust in You today and believe in your perfect plan for [our loved one] today.

He is Fighting for You
I know....
You are feeling lost, alone and forgotten by God today.
You are wondering where he is...
You feel hopeless...
But He has a word for you, for me, for our loved ones...
A promise....
Not one...
Not one of his children...
Is forgotten...
And he is fighting for you right now...
That is hope.

Isaiah 49:15-16,25-26 GNT. [15] So the LORD answers, "I will never forget you. [16] Jerusalem, I can never forget you! I have written your name on the palms of my hands. [25] The LORD replies, "I will fight against whoever fights you, and I will rescue your children. [26] Then all people will know that I am the LORD, the one who saves you and sets you free. They will know that I am Israel's powerful God."

He Saved Him Out of All His Troubles
Some days are just hard...
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.. 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.

[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;

Surrender
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...
He heals All of our diseases...
He crowns us with love and compassion...
He renews us!
And what is the requirement to experience all of these things in their fullness?
Surrender.

Light Is Dawning
No doubt yesterday was difficult for you.
It may have felt as if you were completely alone.
Or maybe you were surrounded by people yet there was chaos and strife.
But as you were there….
So was God in the middle of it all.
And even though it may have felt hard and dark…
Where there is God, there is light.
And light ALWAYS shines through the darkness.
Praying today that His light would lead them home.
July 6, 2024 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Isaiah 9:2 NIV [2] The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.
Lord, you call into being things that never existed as if they did. Lord, we thank you that You can turn our children's hearts to you with a whisper. Lord, we pray today for (our loved one). Lord we believe that today, even though (our loved one) is walking in darkness (he/she) will see YOUR great light. Thank you that your light will dawn and shine down on those living in deep darkness. Lord, you are the light that will move (our loved one) from death to life. Lord we thank you in advance for this truth to come to pass. We pray this in Jesus name today! Amen.
