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.
January 17, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Psalm 25:16-18,20,22 NIV

He Sees You
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.
January 16, 2025 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.

[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.

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 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.
January 12, 2025 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.

He Will Show Us The Way
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.
October 10, 2025 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.

He Will Restore Them

We Become Free
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.

Love Never Fails
Today, may you grasp how much he loves you.

Wailing to Dancing
When death is all around us and we feel that fear...
When we are in a pit and we can't seem to get out...
When we are mourning the loss of loved ones or of the dreams we had for them...
When there is no where to turn...
There is ONE. The ONE, who can bring us out of the pit.
Who can turn wailing to dancing, mourning to joy, tears of sorrow to songs of praise.
January 1, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Psalm 30:2-3,11-12 NIV [2] Lord my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me. [3] You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead; you spared me from going down to the pit.

You Are Loved
This...This is as real as it gets...
Pain...
Darkness..
The lost causes...
The abandoned...
The hopeless cases...
And then, the quiet whisper of our Abba Daddy that says...
I am with you. I have redeemed you. I will save you.
May you hear that whisper today.
May your loved one hear it today as well....
Those words that say “you are loved.”
December 30, 2024 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Psalm 88:1-8, 89:1 MSG [1-8] God, you're my last chance of the day. I spend the night on my knees before you. Put me on your salvation agenda; take notes on the trouble I'm in. I've had my fill of trouble; I'm camped on the edge of hell. I'm written off as a lost cause, one more statistic, a hopeless case. Abandoned as already dead, one more body in a stack of corpses, And not so much as a gravestone--- I'm a black hole in oblivion. You've dropped me into a bottomless pit, sunk me in a pitch-black abyss. I'm caught in a maze and can't find my way out, blinded by tears of pain and frustration. Your love, God, is my song, and I'll sing it! I'm forever telling everyone how faithful you are. I'll never quit telling the story of your love.
You are Not Forgotten
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.
December 28, 2024 Our prayer for our loved one today:
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."
Save Me
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...

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.

He Sees Your Brokenness
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.

Light Has Dawned
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.
December 26, 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.
