In Matthew 22:37-40, Jesus gave this one command in two parts: LOVE. Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind. And love others as you love yourself. He said that if you are doing these things, then you are doing everything God asks of you. So, how are we doing with that these days?Continue reading “Growing in Love”

Just a Prayer Away
A couple of weeks ago, my daughter, a friend and I all had similar dreams in a row. In each, there was something precious we had longed for or worked hard for through God’s leading that He did indeed bless us with; but the enemy craftily distracted us so he could break in and stealContinue reading “Just a Prayer Away”
What Faith Is For
For those of us who are weary of the fight, who have struggled for so long to grasp something we want so desperately, but that continues to seem just out of reach…. I felt the Lord saying once again, “I see you. I hear you. I know you, My beloved. I know your pain, yourContinue reading “What Faith Is For”
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”
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”
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

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”

Pray for Niger
Because of recent world events, let’s lift up Niger today. Lord, we cry out to You for those who have lost loved ones to Islamic violence in Niger these past few weeks. Stop the violence, Lord.

Prayer for Revival
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 for whole families, cities, nations, the entire world to turn our eyes to HolyContinue reading “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. Because of Your sacrifice and resurrection, we now have salvation and eternal life. But, Jesus, today, we cry out to You forContinue reading “A Prayer for the Lost – John 3:16”
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. Whatever we suffer feels so small compared to Your taking on the whole burden of our sin and carrying itContinue reading “The Persecutors and the Persecuted”
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”
When it’s hard to wash someone’s feet, step on into the water!

What must it have been like for Jesus to wash the feet of Peter, knowing he would soon deny Him? … or of Judas, knowing he would betray Him? John 13. What an example Jesus gave us to love those near to us, even when the things they do and…
Pray for Release from Prison

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. In what way have we been like those people hailing You as King, but then abandoning you just a few days later, siding with the crowds around us out ofContinue reading “Boldly Worshipping the One Who Is Worthy – Luke 19:28-42”
Healing and Transformation – Malachi 4:2
Lord, it’s been over a year, and still so much of the world is closed down because of this pandemic.
