The Lord spoke this in my quiet time one day, as I was praying for someone who has long resisted going deeper in her walk with the Lord. As if anything in this world could be greater than He. Maybe you know someone who needs this word today. Maybe you need it, too. “There isContinue reading “There’s More”

The Great Invitation
About a year after I obeyed God’s call to open this Prayer Wall, I went through a strange night, awakening over and over to the thick presence of the Lord in the room and an inaudible voice breaking through my sleep to urge, “Go higher…. Press deeper…. Push further…. Higher up….” An invitation to Awakening.Continue reading “The Great Invitation”

America 250 Prayer for True Freedom
As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation, we thank You, Lord, for how You set this nation up to enjoy freedom and safety few countries have known. So many of the men who signed that Declaration of Independence acknowledged You as our Creator and Sovereign, and even set aside a time of fastingContinue reading “America 250 Prayer for True Freedom”
Completely His
Several years ago, the Lord led me to begin a new habit. Before I opened my eyes or got out of bed or thought any other thought, I would think on Jesus and hand Him my day. He took me on a long, beautiful journey of surrendering not only every day and plan, but everyContinue reading “Completely His”
Fighting for Love
What battles have you been fighting in your marriage or other relationships? It’s easy sometimes to forget what this fight is for and who our real enemy is.

Open Our Ears, Lord
Do you want to hear God’s voice? Follow His lead? Lean on His understanding rather than your own? A prayer from John 10:27: Lord, open up our ears to hear You.

Listen UP!
How do you make decisions? Do you weigh the pros and cons? Press for what you want? Lean on your own understanding? Ask others their opinions on the matter? Our decision-making processes are one of the main ways the enemy slips in to do his dirty work. Do any of those methods feel familiar toContinue reading “Listen UP!”
Don’t Sing the Wrong Song
A word of encouragement today from Matthew 22:37-40, John 14-15, 1 John 4, James 4:11-12, Matthew 7:1-5, and Romans 8 and 12: Do not listen to what the world is saying today.

Love as He First Loved
Pray we will love as He first loved us. 1 John 4:19. A word from the Lord to encourage us as we pray… It’s not for nothing. All that you do for Me. I see it. But more than that, they see it. Don’t gauge your worth by their response. They are filled with theContinue reading “Love as He First Loved”
Are You Listening?
Has something happened to make you anxious or worried? Is your heart feeling troubled? Nothing happens unless God allows it. And if He has allowed it, then He’s doing something in the midst of it. Prayer is not just worrying with your eyes closed and words coming out of your mouth. Our conversations with theContinue reading “Are You Listening?”
Stepping into My Role
The Lord has a very specific role for you to play in the trials of today and the days to come. Do you know what that is yet? Ask Him. What is He saying to you? Can you hear Him? If you don’t know what He’s leading you to do yet, start here: Matthew 22:37-40Continue reading “Stepping into My Role”
Love as He First Loved
We love because he first loved us. 1 John 4:19 All that you do for the Lord is not for nothing. He sees it. But more than that, they can see it. Don’t gauge your worth by others’ responses.

Walking Toward Oneness
When we go through trials, it’s easy to look around and think, “Why doesn’t she have this problem? Am I the only one going through this?” or “Why does God heal him but not me?” or “Why is my marriage in pieces, and that other couple is so blessed?” The truth is we all haveContinue reading “Walking Toward Oneness”

Open Our Ears, Lord
A prayer from John 10:27: Lord, open up our ears to hear You. How have we closed off our minds and hearts from listening? Have we decided You no longer speak? As if Your Word is a lie? As if You somehow stopped being the God of the Bible? As if our insecurities and ideasContinue reading “Open Our Ears, Lord”
No More Wavering
Do you feel sometimes like your spiritual life is a bit of a roller coaster ride? You swoop up onto a high, feeling so close to God; but then slip and hit rock-bottom all over again? I know what it’s like. I, too, used to waver up and down, and sideways, even. But, then …Continue reading “No More Wavering”
What Keeps the Called from Their Calling
Did you know that the three main issues hindering today’s missionary candidates from qualifying for overseas ministry are lack of a biblical worldview, addiction to pornography and mental health issues?

Power in Surrender
What has God asked you to do this year that feels beyond your capability? Have you said “Yes” yet? Don’t decide whether or not to obey the Lord based on your perceived abilities or inadequacies.

Listening to God
Our God is very present and very real. All throughout the Bible we see how personally and also corporately He speaks to and through His people. If you are among a growing number of Christians who claim He doesn’t speak that way anymore, I challenge you to find the verse that says that. Yes, that’sContinue reading “Listening to God”

Step Up into My Arms
A powerful word from the Lord today for those of us feeling a bit beat up in the battle: Step up. Not with hopeful goals to better yourself that fade away within a couple of weeks. Not with working all the harder and burning out all the faster, or with beating yourself up because youContinue reading “Step Up into My Arms”
Restoring Broken Connections
Have you ever reached out to someone, wanting a deeper connection, but they didn’t take you up on that invitation? As you shared your heart, did they look at their watch? Check their social media notifications? Talk over you? Walk out of the room? It’s not uncommon. But what the Lord was asking me toContinue reading “Restoring Broken Connections”
Set Apart … to LOVE
What has your mind dwelt on lately? What subject has moved you into heated conversations? And how are you shining Christ? There are topics the world has taken on that may not be what God is saying or the focus He wants us to have as His bride. He has given us one task: MatthewContinue reading “Set Apart … to LOVE”
Hand Outstretched
What have you been going through this year? Are you feeling weary? Alone in the fire?

Only Hidden in Christ Are We Safe
I had a dream of people walking around with imaginary self-protective “walls” that in reality were just thin lines — a mere thread — not a wall at all. Just like we often do, the people in this dream came on way too strong in each situation, too self-important, too conscious of how they look,Continue reading “Only Hidden in Christ Are We Safe”
Song for the Wayward One
Lord, for those who have wandered from Your felt presence, speak softly to us now, drawing us back to Yourself, like You did Your bride in Hosea 2:14-23. Remind us of our First Love. That we are Yours, and You are our Song, our True Meaning of Life, our All. Sing over us. We needContinue reading “Song for the Wayward One”
Rise Up and Love
What are some things you’ve settled into over the years that have become a habit because you were afraid or felt you needed to protect yourself from something or someone?

Whose Tune Are You Playing?
Do not listen to what the world is saying today. Do not join in their song. For you are set apart, My beloved. You are Mine. If you sing the wrong tune, when the day of evil comes you will fall. Stand strong, My beloved, in what you know is right and true. Not becauseContinue reading “Whose Tune Are You Playing?”
Step Out of the World and into My Mind
My beloved child, I see your need to belong, to be accepted by those you look up to or want to be around, to be seen as someone important in their lives. You want them to like you, include you, see you as one of them, so you mold your viewpoints around theirs and stepContinue reading “Step Out of the World and into My Mind”
Step Up
Step up. Not with New Year’s resolutions that fade away within a couple of weeks. Not with working all the harder and burning out all the faster, or with beating yourself up because you failed. No. The “stepping up” I am calling you to is stepping out of yourself and up into Me. I knowContinue reading “Step Up”
Believe Me
I have not stopped moving. I have not stopped speaking. When did you stop moving with Me? When did you stop listening? I’m right here where I’ve always been, doing the things I always do.

Living for the MORE
“There is more to this life than the money, the house, the status, the strongholds you cling to so desperately that leave you empty. There’s a reason for your loneliness, anxious thoughts, emptiness. Because nothing of this world will ever be enough. You need the MORE you were created for. I am the More. IContinue reading “Living for the MORE”
True Freedom
What is holding you back from more of the Lord? Anxiety? Panic? Anger? Unforgiveness? Depression? Lust? He is ready to set you free.* As we pray for our nation this month, let’s pray for our own hearts, as well….

Step in Deeper

To the bride of Christ, from the One Who has loved her since before time began…. Hosea 2:14+, James 4:8, Deuteronomy 32:10, John 14:15, John 5:19, Matthew 22:37-40 If you could feel My presence in deep and powerful ways moment by moment, would you want that? Would you…
Quiet Times with God
What distracts you from having a quiet time every day? Or from breaking away for a personal retreat alone with God every now and then? Remember, the enemy’s main aim is to keep you from praying, to draw you away from God, to stop you from bringing Him glory. That means the best way toContinue reading “Quiet Times with God”
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”
