Maundy Thursday; 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 Him. And Peter, who promised neverContinue reading “Maundy Thursday; Broken for Our Sin”

Pray for Those in the News

Today, I feel the Lord prompting us to pray for people who are currently prominent in the headlines, such as presidential candidates and other political figures, heads of media, the rich and famous, those who have been falsely accused or who are on trial for standing up for something right, and even murderers and terrorists.Continue reading “Pray for Those in the News”

Overcoming Conflict God’s Way

What conflicts do you face these days? How have you responded?  When you have a problem with someone, do you attack? Avoid? Talk to other people about it? Find a way to get them back? Don’t do that!  One way the enemy gets us to do his dirty work is through saying bad things about someone,Continue reading “Overcoming Conflict God’s Way”

When to Kill a Pet

Do you have a pet sin you don’t want to let go of? Do you feed and “pet” it with your thoughts? Psalm 66 tells us that if we know there is sin in our hearts but we do nothing about it, we are in grave spiritual danger. If I regard sin and baseness in my heartContinue reading “When to Kill a Pet”

What Made You Give In?

A few days ago, I fell asleep while writing at this Prayer Wall and dreamed that a woman who long had resisted temptation gave up and gave in … all the way. It didn’t happen overnight. The enemy had been chipping away at her faith for years. She fought valiantly at first, believing God’s WordContinue reading “What Made You Give In?”

Whose Ticket Are You Still Holding?

This past week, the Lord gave me three dreams over three nights. In the third, people held tickets to Heaven in their hands. Some clutched only their own, but others held onto several tickets meant for other people. They waved them about, excitedly telling the people they were meant for how to get one, whileContinue reading “Whose Ticket Are You Still Holding?”

A Prayer for Our Hearts and Nation

O Lord, we are so in need of You. Hear our prayers, please, and forgive us. While we were busy with matters that are here today and gone tomorrow, idols have crept in and taken over our attention. We scroll through social media, wanting what we don’t have and begrudging those who have it. WeContinue reading “A Prayer for Our Hearts and Nation”

Repentance and Humility

James 4:10 Lord, we have wandered far from You. We have placed our own pain, fear, pride, selfishness, doubt, anger, judgment, lust and so much more above the simplicity of surrendering to You and letting Your Spirit guide our thoughts and actions. Proverbs 3:5-7, John 5:19. Forgive us, Lord. For we have left our FirstContinue reading “Repentance and Humility”

Those on Display

Today, I feel the Lord prompting us to pray for people who are currently prominent in the headlines. Please feel free to insert names into the prayer, as He leads. Lord, so many famous figures by worldly standards are rising up to speak out about the war, using it as a chance to get theirContinue reading “Those on Display”

Prayers for Those Grieving in Pakistan

As we continue praying for Ukraine, let’s also spread our hearts out toward grieving families in Peshawar, Pakistan, near the border of Afghanistan, where a bomb during Friday prayers killed 63 people and wounded almost 200 at a Shiite mosque. Father God, in 1 John 4:8 Your Word says, “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”Continue reading “Prayers for Those Grieving in Pakistan”
