Pray for Fathers

Lord, we ask You today for our fathers, both earthly and spiritual. Bless them abundantly, and draw them all the closer to You. Show them the ways You want to use them for Your glory, and give them courage to step out in those things and to do everything in Your empowering. Lead them toContinue reading “Pray for Fathers”

Family Unity for Ministers

I grew up overseas, as the daughter of missionaries. Many of my MK (missionary kid) friends have excelled in life. They feel at home, no matter where they are in the world, and the Lord uses them in powerful ways. In stark contrast, other MK friends have left the faith and made devastating choices. AfterContinue reading “Family Unity for Ministers”

Be Still, and Fight!

What battles are you in right now? Don’t just rise up and fight by lashing out. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12 NIV Your brother is not yourContinue reading “Be Still, and Fight!”

Rest

My beloved bride, today I’m calling you to rest in Me. Don’t be like the wife who rushes about to please her Husband, doing things I never asked you to do and missing out on the one thing that matters. Luke 10:38-42. Come, sit with Me awhile. Listen to My voice. Hear My heart forContinue reading “Rest”

Pray for Our Children

Lord, we ask You, please, for our children. Guard their hearts. Watch over them as they play. Keep their minds and eyes and hearts and bodies pure. Don’t let any hurt or harm come to them. Give them a hunger for You, Lord, that drives them to read the Bible; and each time they do,Continue reading “Pray for Our Children”

The Nation’s Leaders – 2 Peter 3:9

Let’s pray for our leaders by name, as we ask the Lord for a Great Awakening in this nation. As you can see by the highlighted wikipedia links of our present Senate and House of Representatives, most of our leaders have had some sort of religious influence at some point in their lives. Pray GodContinue reading “The Nation’s Leaders – 2 Peter 3:9”

Leading through Love – Matthew 22:37-40

Satan wants to keep us so busy with even good causes that we forget the eternal thing that matters most: Love. 1 John 4:8. How much we accomplish or how great others think we are won’t amount to anything in the end. Only how well we loved. 1 Corinthians 13. So many marriages, families, teams,Continue reading “Leading through Love – Matthew 22:37-40”

Don’t Give in to Distractions

I had a series of dreams last night. In each one, I was given a precious gift from the Lord. In some dreams, it was something I worked hard for through the Lord’s leading; in others, it was purely a blessing from His hand; and in the last dream, it was something dear to meContinue reading “Don’t Give in to Distractions”

Good News for an Abundant Life

There is only one God. He is the Creator of the Universe, infinite, all-powerful, perfect, holy. He created us because He loves us and wants us to enjoy Him and love others through His love. That is our whole reason for being. But sin, our prideful, selfish thoughts and actions separate us from this holyContinue reading “Good News for an Abundant Life”

Every Nation Under Heaven

In Acts 2, during Pentecost (which we celebrated yesterday), the Spirit came upon the apostles like fire, and they began preaching in the tongues of those gathered there “from every nation under heaven” (Acts 2:5), leading thousands to faith in Christ. Those languages and countries are many of the very places in the world thatContinue reading “Every Nation Under Heaven”

A Third of Us

Did you know that 1/3 of the world has been denied access to the Good News? That’s right. Nearly 2.3 billion people are cut off from hearing Jesus’ name. Most of these live in nations closed off to the Gospel message because of oppressive governments and/or religions. Missionaries are forbidden, Christians are persecuted, and seekersContinue reading “A Third of Us”

Pray for India

Due to the current surge in both Covid and persecution of Christians, let’s pray for India, #10 on the 2021 World Watchlist of most dangerous countries for Christians. Lord, please make a way where there seems to be no way for food and provisions to reach those in need. Make Yourself known to each ofContinue reading “Pray for India”

Light Up the World – John 8:12

I had a dream that the armies of God were spying on the enemy, breaking apart his plans before they could ever be put in place. Lord, break apart the enemy’s plans before they even start. Shut him down completely. Make his every move so laughable and silly, no person will go along with it.Continue reading “Light Up the World – John 8:12”

Using Our Trials Well

How have the pandemic and other events of this past year nudged you to do more of the things that matter most? Have you spent more time in prayer? Rested?

Pray for Palestine

Due to current world events, let’s pray for Palestine today. Lord, please guard every heart and soften it to You.

Fasting and Prayer for the Nations April 13-May 12

Is the Lord calling you to fast as we pray for Global Awakening these next 30 days? Fasting from worldly comfort as you spend time with the Lord in prayer often leads to breakthrough, both in that situation and in your own heart. Traditionally, we think of fasting from food, such as skipping a mealContinue reading “Fasting and Prayer for the Nations April 13-May 12”

Echoing the God of Revival

God is so sweet the way He confirms whatever He is speaking to our hearts. My friend Rachel calls it His “echoes.” I love that word. How intimate and personal that the God who created us would speak to us, and then set creation into motion to echo what He said. (Press here for aContinue reading “Echoing the God of Revival”

Prayer for Revival

A Prayer for the Lost – John 3:16

Thank You, Lord, for taking upon Yourself the weight of our sin and bearing it in our place as You died upon that cross and then, three days later, rose from the dead.

The Persecutors and the Persecuted

Remembering today what our Savior went through for our freedom, and praying for both persecutors and those enduring persecution for Christ’s sake throughout the world today: Lord, thank You for Your gift of the cross.

Broken for Our Sin

Today, on Maundy Thursday, we think on the Last Supper, the prophetic bread broken that night to symbolize how the Bread of Life would soon be broken. By this time, Judas had already chosen to betray His Master and Friend. The others would soon fall asleep, and then desert the Lord. And Peter, who promisedContinue reading “Broken for Our Sin”

Boldly Worshipping the One Who Is Worthy – Luke 19:28-42

Lord, today we celebrate Your triumphant entry into Jerusalem, when the people cried out praises to Your name because of the miracles You had done.

Oneness – Philippians 1:27-28

Lord, we ask You to draw us into deeper love, into oneness with each other and with You.

Preparing for 30 Days of Prayer

Because Ramadan is a Muslim month of fasting and seeking God fervently, He often shows up in miraculous ways, usually through dreams; but at times, He’s been known to replace the Quran with a Bible before the imam reads out loud to those gathered for prayer!
