Help Us Stand, Lord

I felt the Lord asking me to share with you this illustration (in the photo) He gave me urging us to not give up the fight, as we pray for our nation and the world. Lord, give us courage to stand in Your mighty power. Ephesians 6:10-20. To not grow weary or give up theContinue reading “Help Us Stand, Lord”

Time to Overthrow

People of God, we must rise up and overthrow the enemy. Isaiah 52:2. Today, we must say, “No!” to the gangrenous thoughts we have allowed Satan to feed us that are contrary to what God says.  Now is the time. Throw off the chains of selfish ambition, bitterness, anxiety, the dangerous ways we seek to “escape,” and everything elseContinue reading “Time to Overthrow”

The Matthew 18:15 Principle

Today, I feel the Lord leading us to examine our own hearts, especially with regard to how we handle conflict. One way the enemy gets us to do his dirty work is through saying bad things about someone, rather than letting God transform us. Most of the problems we have with others really are our own.Continue reading “The Matthew 18:15 Principle”

Take Up Your Mat and Walk with Me

Our world is barreling fast into places of no return. We must throw off our sin and the thoughts that spiral us out of control, rise up and walk with the Lord now, as one with Him, or we may not make it through what is to come. The days are coming when you mustContinue reading “Take Up Your Mat and Walk with Me”

Choosing What Is Eternal

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 “Choosing What Is Eternal”

May Our Homes Be Filled with Love

Lord, please fill our homes with Your presence and Your love. Set us free from the sins and wrong thought processes that make it difficult for our children to see You as You truly are. Empower us with Your love, embolden us with Your grace, and teach us to forgive. Give us wisdom in everyContinue reading “May Our Homes Be Filled with Love”

For the Anxious Heart

Lord, be our Shield. Block fear from invading our minds, hearts, and homes. When anxiety, worry, and panic overcome us, we have trouble trusting in Your Sovereignty and Your heart of Love. We try to take control, but everything’s so out of control, especially our racing hearts and spiraling thoughts. Rescue us, O Lord, fromContinue reading “For the Anxious Heart”

Prayer for Sons and Parents

Father God, please lay Your hand on our sons, guiding them constantly into Your purposes. Pursue them with Your love. Bring to them disciplers, mentors, teachers and friends who will challenge them to walk as one with You and model what that looks like. Guard their eyes, ears, heart, mind and body from evil, andContinue reading “Prayer for Sons and Parents”

Prayer for Daughters and Parents

Lord, please grow our daughters up to love You with all their hearts. Protect them from the plots of the enemy to harm their bodies, hearts and minds and to draw them away from You. Be a Shield around them, blocking them from social media and other influences that seek to drive them to anxiety,Continue reading “Prayer for Daughters and Parents”

Prayer for Awakening

Join us Thursday, March 23, for 30 Days of Prayer for Global Awakening. Oh, Lord, what will it take for our hearts to finally hunger and thirst for You such that we will let go of the temporary, of-this-world things we’ve held onto, and grab hold of what is eternal? What will it take forContinue reading “Prayer for Awakening”
