Morning Moment of Prayer…

Dear Heavenly Father…There has been so much heartache in this week’s news! Yet, Your Word tells us it would be that way here on planet Earth because of our sin, selfishness, and brokenness. Yet, You came. You came to rescue us from behind enemy lines and restore the love, power, peace, joy, and authority that Adam and Eve handed over to our enemy, the devil, in the Garden. How grateful I am for ALL You have done! And from this place of gratefulness, I stop now and lift up those I am aware of around the world who have experienced great loss and tragedy this week ___________ (take time to do this as the Holy Spirit leads). I ask these things in the Almighty Name of King Jesus. Amen!

Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Luke 10:19

 Dear Lord Jesus...I revel and rejoice in Your unfailing love for me! Every morning, I wake up and wonder at the mystery of Your beyond-reason love that never ceases towards me, no matter what I’ve done, haven’t done, said or not said, or when I have been completely selfish, self-serving, or self-absorbed. Yet, You love too much to let me wallow in my stuff. Slowly, surely, and decisively, You have set me free to live in Holy Spirit joy, power, happiness, and fulfillment—no matter my circumstances. I am so grateful, and today, I seal this prayer, in Your Magnificent Name, the Name of All Authority, King Jesus. Amen!

 O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
So full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.
Psalm 86:5 NLT

Dear Lord Jesus…I start today quieting my heart and my eyes are set upon You. As I wait in Your presence, I pray for a fresh overflow of Holy Spirit joy so that I can bless and encourage those in my home today. Please place on my heart those I should pray and spiritually battle for during this trying time. If I can give anything to someone in need from the bounty You have given me, help me to give this blessing. I am Yours, and I am not afraid because You are near. In You All-Powerful Name, I pray, King Jesus. Amen!

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

Dear Heavenly Father...As I take the time to quiet my heart and mind, I ask for Holy Spirit’s profound and felt presence to draw me close to You. You are teaching me to control my thoughts, and the freedom to do this has been transforming. Truly! I can bring every thought captive to Your limitless love. And as I wait upon Him, He is bringing to my mind those folks that I need to forgive ________ (take time to do this; it’s important!). From the smallest to the greatest hurts and offenses, You call me to be completely unoffendable. What freedom! No one owes me! But I owe everything to You, dear Lord. In the Majestic Name of Your Son, King Jesus, I pray. Amen!

Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.”
Matthew 18:21-22

Dear Lord Jesus...With so much violence, hatred, and vitriol, the world is consumed with opinion, selfishness, and self-absorption. I ask for Your hand of mercy to reside upon me and my brothers and sisters in the faith to remember always, that You and Your Kingdom are all that matter. To remember that Your ultra and beyond forgiveness enables us to walk in forgiveness and overcoming love to everyone and that revenge of any kind has no place in us because of You. That to live with malice is to deny You are God, and that You call us to know that our battle is not with flesh and blood, but against our adversary, the devil and his demons. This knowledge brings me to my knees today to pray that You will live through my life today to everyone: both those I care about and those who might oppose me. In Your All-Powerful Name, Lord Jesus. Amen!

He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.
1 John 4:8-9

May I bring a smile to Your face today as I surrender all my life to You. I am crazy in love with You, Lord, and in the Magnificent Name of Your Son, the Lord Jesus, I pray. Amen!

How thankful I am that You have already defeated the enemy of my soul and given me the authority of Your Son’s name to continue pressing my adversary’s defeat upon him! My battles truly belong to You, and the more quickly I get out of the way, You come through like a lion and turn these skirmishes into vapor. My trust is in You, no matter what any other voice would like to tell me. I am yours, and I am ready to face this day. In the Name Above All Names, King Jesus. Amen!

And he said, “Listen… Thus says the LORD to you: 'Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God's.”

Dear Lord Jesus…Here we are again! The start of a brand-new day. In this moment of quiet, I pour out my life before You. Please empty me completely of my selfishness, self-absorption, and any and everything that keeps me from the fullness of Holy Spirit power, joy, and most of all, Your limitless love. I pray that Your Word inside of me will continue to speak to me throughout the day, and may I not only be refreshed and revived, but bring that same refreshment to many. In the Wonder-Filled Name of Jesus, Amen!

It will no longer be said of you [Judah], “Azubah (Abandoned),” Nor will it any longer be said of your land, “Shemamah (Desolate)”; But you will be called, “Hephzibah (My Delight is in Her),” And your land, “Married”; For the LORD delights in you, And to Him your land will be married [owned and protected by the LORD].

You alone, Lord, are everything, and I seal this prayer in Your Beautiful Name, Lord Jesus. Amen!

Home from Israel...

In Tel Aviv

Home from Israel!

Please forgive that I am sending a second post this morning, but I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who prayed, especially family and friends, for my safe return and for the women I was traveling with.

God answered your prayers. From times in bomb shelters, sheltering in place in Galilee, traveling with an armed guard into and through Egypt, then flying home from Cairo to London to Los Angeles yesterday.

I love the Middle East. All of it. Every nation. Every man, woman, and child. Grieving for it all. Praying for every man, woman, and child in the whole region. Praying in the Spirit because I don't always know what to pray.

And I am ever so thankful for the amazing women I was with. Bonded and marked together for life by this experience. For such a time as this. We worshipped ardently, interceded passionately, and we were lavishly blessed with God’s peace beyond understanding. That was the power of your prayers.

A huge shout-out to the Leadership of the Eagle's Wings organization and to the beyond wonderful Marion Ingegneri, who invited me to come. Little did anyone know what an adventure it would be!

This will take a little while to unpack before the Lord, but His felt presence throughout was profound. I praise Jesus for all He has done for me.

And again, thank you for praying...

Dear Heavenly Father...I love You this morning...and always! How grateful I am to be held securely in Your hands when the world, finances, prices, life, weather, and people stuff are raging, damaging, and afflicting. You said it would be so, but You also said that in the power of Your Holy Spirit and living in Your presence and Word, I can live in the ‘shalom’ of Your blessing (Hebrew for health, wholeness, peace, fulfillment, and so much more!) in the midst of all the chaos. As I wait upon You and surrender all to the work of the Holy Spirit in my life, You are transforming more and more into the image of Your Son. Keep going! And it is in His Majestic Name, King Jesus, I seal this prayer. Amen!

Wait for and confidently expect the LORD;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for and confidently expect the LORD.
Psalm 27:14 AMP

As another day begins with You, I can’t wait to see what adventures You have in store for me. From the ordinary to the extraordinary, I ask for Your Spirit’s help to keep renewing my mind, healing my body, and transforming my emotions to align with Yours. I want to live in Your Shalom (health, wholeness, wellness, goodness, prosperity of soul, and peace). May everything I do bring You glory as You hold this day in Your hands. Your Kingdom come, Lord! And in Your All-Sufficient Name, I pray, King Jesus. Amen!

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Dear Lord Jesus...As world events go up, down, and sideways, I am SO thankful that YOU are the ROCK and CORNERSTONE of my life! How grateful I am that when my eyes are fixed upon You, living in Your presence in the Holy Spirit’s power and standing firmly upon the authority of Your Word, I live on purpose in the abundance of Your plans for me. And...as my life can seem to go up, down, and sideways at times, You are always with me. The Holy Spirit’s supernatural gifts astound me (1 Cor. 12:7-10), and His fruit is transforming me from the inside out! (Gal. 5:22-25). Let’s get this day started in the power of Your Name, King Jesus. Amen!

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.

Dear Lord Jesus...Today, in the quiet of this moment, I behold Your beauty.

As I prepare my heart to worship You, I am reminded of all that You have done for me. In turn, I pray to bless, encourage, comfort, and pray for those in need around me. I pray again for events in the Middle East and Ukraine, for multiplied numbers of folks to turn to You. May they sense Your presence as I do now. In the Name of the Everlasting King Jesus. Amen!

For he loves us with unfailing love;
the LORD's faithfulness endures forever.
Praise the LORD!
