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.

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”
Prayers for Ukraine and the World
Don’t grow weary in prayer. We have a Friend in the highest of places and He is still very much in charge. Lord, please direct rescuers to those who are trapped or in danger, and protect them as they get people to safety. Heal the wounded, rescue those who are dying, be a Shield aroundContinue reading “Prayers for Ukraine and the World”

Russian Soldiers in Ukraine
Lord, confuse the wicked, confound their words, for I see violence and strife in the city. Psalm 55:9 NIV Commander of the Armies of Heaven, please confuse those who are bent on evil. Mix up their plans so none can be completed, or even started. Block every evil attack, and rescue those in need. Urge RussianContinue reading “Russian Soldiers in Ukraine”
Pray for Those Trapped in Strongholds
A stronghold is a habitual sin or negative thought process that has such a “strong hold” on you it controls your responses rather than the Holy Spirit. Common examples are anxiety, anger, depression, lust, pornography, judgment, pride, self-pity, addictions, jealousy, control, unforgiveness, etc. The walls of these enemy fortifications are built with lies contrary toContinue reading “Pray for Those Trapped in Strongholds”
Three More Hostages Released in Haiti
Praise God three more hostages were released this month, making a total of five so far since the October 16th abduction of 17 missionaries (including five children) by gang members in Haiti. For security reasons, we cannot give more information at this time, but let’s continue to pray for the safe release and protection ofContinue reading “Three More Hostages Released in Haiti”
Prayers for Russia
Due to heightening tension on the border with Ukraine, let’s pray…. Lord, we ask You, please, for a Great Awakening all throughout Russia. Meet every leader and influencer in powerful ways, showing them that You alone are God. Pursue them with Your love, save them with Your grace, and give them wisdom in every decisionContinue reading “Prayers for Russia”
It’s All About Me
The way is narrowing, and less and less of those who think they are Mine will make it through. Whatever you’re holding onto — grudges, financial security, selfish desires, lust — whatever you’ve been spending your time, thoughts and efforts on that I have not called you to — you must let go now. ItContinue reading “It’s All About Me”
Courage to Stand
Mighty Warrior. When the Lord called Gideon that, it felt like a lie. He’d just been caught in the act of hiding his hard-earned wages so the new guys in charge wouldn’t seize everything his family needed to survive. Judges 6:1-12. Aren’t we God’s people? Isn’t this the nation He founded for Himself? How couldContinue reading “Courage to Stand”
Haiti: Don’t Stop Praying
Let’s continue praying for the safe release of those held hostage in Haiti. Lord, please be a Shield around the abducted Christian Aid Ministries missionaries and their children (6 men, 6 women; and 5 children ages 8 months and 3, 6, 13, 15 years). Guard them from harm, and make the way for their safeContinue reading “Haiti: Don’t Stop Praying”
Abducted Missionaries in Haiti
Lord, we pray for the 17 missionaries (including children) who are being held hostage for ransom by gang members in Haiti since Saturday.

Reveal to rescuers the location where the hostagesContinue reading “Abducted Missionaries in Haiti”
Turn to Me (Prayer for Afghanistan and the World)
This was originally posted September 12, 2021. But the Lord asked me to come back to it here at the Prayer Wall today. Let’s pray together as one for His purposes in the midst of such great evil and darkness, not just in Afghanistan, but all across the world. Matthew 11:20-30 As Afghanistan sets upContinue reading “Turn to Me (Prayer for Afghanistan and the World)”
Rise up and LOVE
What earthly causes have made you anxious or angry these days? The Lord is calling us now to rise up out of our fear and hatred. And LOVE. The issues we are fighting about are of this earth. They are temporary. Fix your eyes on what is eternal. Hebrews 12:1-3. When you get to Heaven,Continue reading “Rise up and LOVE”
Headache or Heaven
When this messy world is so up in your face, it’s hard to focus on eternal things, isn’t it? For instance, a headache can take precedence over being loving and kind. But a headache is temporal. It’s very real pain I have to go through right now, but it’s not going to follow me toContinue reading “Headache or Heaven”
My Promise Still Stands
As we passed the one year mark since beginning this Prayer Wall, the Lord has taken me back to those prayers and dreams from 2020. These themes have emerged since: This was His answer today, when I lifted those themes back up to Him: Those who will truly pray for the things of My heartContinue reading “My Promise Still Stands”
Healing and Rebuilding
Father, for those still fighting fires, we ask for Your protection and wisdom. Guide them to those in danger, and make the way clear for rescue. Thank You, Lord, already for the many homes and lives saved. We ask You, please, to bring rain, to stop the fires, And provide for those struggling to rebuildContinue reading “Healing and Rebuilding”
The Problem with Wee Evils
Originally posted on More Than A Conqueror:
I originally posted this in July 2015, but I’m reposting today, … because it’s such a good illustration….? I found weevils in our oats. Lots of them. How did they get there? One crawled in and hatched a whole lot more. If I’d been paying attention, I could…
Humble, We Are Heard & Healed
In the beginning, as the Lord first began forming this Prayer Wall a year ago, He gave me a dream one night of a great host, each with a flame of fire from the altar in their hands, waiting and ready for the prayers of the saints. (Revelation 8:1-5) They were solemn, expectant. For theContinue reading “Humble, We Are Heard & Healed”
