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.
December 11, 2024 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.

No Condemnation
The spirit of condemnation. The tool he uses to keep us sick.
“I am bad.” “I am an addict.” “I am the sum of my failures.” “I will never get better”
The momentary numbing of the emotional pain always brings us
back to bondage.
Today we pray against the spirit of condemnation and the spirit of failure.
But this is why He came. To bear that shame on the cross.
No guilt, no shame.
A full pardon
December 10, 2024 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Romans 8:1-2 NIV[1] Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, [2] because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.
Father we come before you today with the authority of the suffering Jesus Christ paid on the cross. We thank you that because of his death we don’t have to live in lies and deception, that we can walk in truth. We pray against any spirit of condemnation or failure that has taken hold of [our loved one]. We believe that through Christ Jesus, your Spirit, who gives life to [our loved one], will set [him/her] free from sin and death. We believe that through you, true freedom will come to [our loved one]. We pray that all of [our loved one’s] chains will be broken today. We pray this with confidence in your son's Holy and precious name. Amen

Grace
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.
December 9, 2024 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!

Walk in that confidence today.
December 8, 2024 Our prayer for our loved one today:

He Came to Bring 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.
December 16, 2024 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.

Walk in Truth
The lies of the enemy will hold us captive.

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!!!

From the Fire to Great Abundance
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...

Give Thanks
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.
November 28, 2024, 2024 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

When We Run to Him, He Saves Us
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!
November 27, 2024 Our Prayer for our Loved One today:
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. (Psalm 37:39-40 MSG)
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

I Call, You Answer
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.
November 26, 2024 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, 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.

November 25, 2024 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Isaiah 43:18-20 NLT
[18] "But forget all that- it is nothing compared to what I am going to do[19] For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland[20] Yes, I will make rivers in the dry wasteland so my chosen people can be refreshed.

We pray this promise and agree with it in your Son's precious name. Amen

He Never Leaves Our Side
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.
November 24, 2024 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. Lord, I thank you and praise you for all of these things today. In Jesus Name! Amen.

Save Me
Sometimes we get so caught up in the ugly, that we don't see our loved ones the way God sees them.

Trust in Him
As I've walked through this journey with my loved one, I have had to learn that God's ways are not man's ways, nor are they at all my ways.
Most of the time I don't understand.
I know that you all have big questions as well. Lot's of whys? Things we will never know the answer to, this side of heaven.
So many times I have had to wrestle with God. To work through the process of surrender and to truth. It doesn't come natural for any of us. But I have learned that it is the path to abundant life.
Praying today for you, as you wrestle through your questions for God. And praying today for our loved ones. That they would finally come to that place of total surrender.
November 22, 2024 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV
[5] Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; [6]
in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
Lord, God your word says that if we delight ourselves in you, you will give us the desires of our heart. Lord, our desire is this...that (our loved one) would trust in YOU Lord, with all of (his/her) heart. That (our loved one) would not lean on (his/her) own understanding. Lord, we pray today that in all of (our loved one's) ways they would submit to You Lord and that You would make (his/her) path straight. Lord, we ask for these simple things today in your Son's precious name! Amen

They fight…
They fight to stop.
They fight to feel normal.
They fight to breathe another day…
We fight.
We fight to love them radically
We fight to surrender them to the only one who can truly save them
We fight to live in a place of peace
We fight to not die with them.
And today...
Know that He died for the fight. He died so that we would be filled with the strength and power to continue to fight.

2 Timothy 4:7-8 NIV [7] I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith[8] Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day---and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
Abba daddy, we sit at your feet today, pressed in because that is where our strength comes from. We know that You are a good and merciful God. We pray today that [our loved one] would continue, minute by minute, to fight the good fight. We pray that [he/she] would have the strength to walk through the tasks set before [him/her]. Lord, fill [him/her] to overflowing with the faith that only you can give [him/her]. We pray that [our loved one] would grasp the hope that comes with the battle, that this is for [his/her] freedom. But it isn't just freedom for this moment in time, but a freedom that will last for eternity. Father, wrap [our loved one] up in Your love and Your power and Your grace today. In Your son's precious name we pray. Amen

You Are Chosen
You are CHOSEN.
You are loved by God
You are called by God
You are chosen 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.
November 20, 2024 Our prayer for our loved one today:
1 Peter 2:9-10 MSG [9-10] But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God's instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you---from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted.
Father we humbly come before you today acknowledging what you did on the cross for us. Your death has made us chosen by God. Lord, I believe that [our loved one] was chosen for a high calling, chosen to be a Holy person, chosen as one of your special instruments to do Your work and speak out for You!! I believe that one day [our loved one] will give testimony to the night and day difference that You have made for [our loved one] in [his/her] life! I praise you Father God that through Your death You have made [our loved one] a new creation. From nothing...to something, from rejected to accepted! I believe that this is already done and will come to pass in your perfect timing. I lay claim to these words in your Son's precious name today! Amen!!

Come Home
The call that your loved one is in jail…
The call that your loved one has OD’d…
The call that your loved one is back out there…
The call that there will be a funeral next week…
You may have gotten that call yesterday, or the day before.
Or you may get it today.
And you feel abandoned…
Do not doubt for one second that God sees you. He knows exactly what you are going through today.
And He is saying to you right now, “Call on me. Come to me. Just say the word.
And I will deliver you from fear, from anxiety, from hopelessness.”
And God is whispering to your loved one today “Come home.”
November 19, 2024 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Psalm 50:15 NKJV [15] Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me."
Lord, we come before you today determined to remain faithful in prayer. We are grateful that you are a God of grace and a God of mercy. And as we are faithful to pray, we believe that you are faithful to answer us as we cry out to you. Lord, we call upon you today in our day of trouble and on behalf of [our loved one] who is struggling. We pray that [our loved one] will call on you today and that You would hear [his/her] cry and You would deliver [our loved one]. We believe that when that day comes, when you deliver [our loved one] that [he/she] WILL glorify you! We pray that this vision will come to pass quickly Lord, but we trust and believe it will happen in Your perfect timing. Lord, we are thankful that we can trust in Your sovereign plan for our lives. We pray this prayer in Your Son's precious name! Amen!
