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”

A Prayer from Isaiah 51:6

Lord, in the midst of the trying circumstances so many of us are facing right now, lift our eyes up to look to You. This earth is passing away. Our time here is so short. But Your salvation lasts forever and Your righteousness never fails. Help us to rise up above all the dissension andContinue reading “A Prayer from Isaiah 51:6”

No Competition

Do you struggle with feeling like you don’t measure up, especially when you’re around those who are strong in the Lord? Like your relationship with God is somehow inferior? Like the floor slants higher and closer to the throne for them, and meanwhile, you’re struggling just to have a quiet time? I feel the LordContinue reading “No Competition”

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”

Take Our Breath Away

This morning, the Lord awakened me to a vision of a dancing fountain. I saw how beautiful we are together in Him, as His Spirit moves us this way and that. Then, as a powerful burst of water spurted high into the sky, onlookers stopped and stared. Lord, take our breath away. Dance to theContinue reading “Take Our Breath Away”

Deciding God’s Way

Today, I feel the Lord urging us to pray for those who are being pressed into tight corners and are having to make huge life decisions. Lord, give us wisdom, please. Help us not lean on our own understanding, but to seek You in all our ways, letting You direct our paths. We can’t seeContinue reading “Deciding God’s Way”

The Great Invitation

As we came up on our one-year anniversary of the 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….” Awakening. The Great Invitation. NotContinue reading “The Great Invitation”

The Miracle of Mercy

As I pray for those still in danger in Afghanistan, I am reminded of our own escape from the closed country where we served the Lord for many years. Everything changed in an instant. Our security was breached. Our names were made known to those who seek to harm Christians. And we had to flee,Continue reading “The Miracle of Mercy”

Salvation and Restoration – Psalm 80

O Lord, we have wandered so far from You, each one to our own ways, and we have brought destruction down upon ourselves because of our waywardness. We’ve forgotten Who our Creator is and why we were created, and we have worshipped our own ends rather than bowing to Your perfect will and plans. WeContinue reading “Salvation and Restoration – Psalm 80”

Be the Light in Our Darkness, Lord

Let’s continue to pray for those facing power outages in Louisiana and other areas, those still facing fires (even new ones now) in the west, and others in our country who are anxious and grieving losses. Lord, You are the Light of the World. In our time of darkness right now, please shine that Light,Continue reading “Be the Light in Our Darkness, Lord”
