Suffer the little children

Father, you said that if two or more agree in touching it shall be done.  Lord, I know you hear our prayers and I know how important families are to you because the bible is filled with stories and rules for families.  In fact it is a big book of the story of family.  I'm asking all the saints to lift their hearts and voices Lord, to ask that the children who are being taken from their families would be reunited with them.  Any of us would would have our hearts ripped out if our children were taken from us no matter how old they are, but father, the little ones. ..it's devastating!  Lord please hear our prayer and please move on the hearts and minds of our politicians to change the laws and immediately return the children to their mothers and fathers.  Let this father's day be one of reunification for the children who have lost everything.  Please, Father,  in jesus name we all pray and together we all say AMEN!!

Your "land of milk and honey"

In Numbers ch. 13-15 we learn about the land of milk and honey (Canaan) and the promise that God made to give it to the Hebrew people.  They saw "giants in the land", gave in to fear, lost their faith, and forgot the many miracles that God had performed just for them.  They angered God and lost their blessing.
     Has God promised you "a land of milk and honey", but you became afraid to believe because there are "giants in the land"?  ( nasty, mean, deceitful, backbiting people in your way at work, or obstacles that seem too big to overcome).  Have faith people of God.  He doesn't break his promises.  You are already victorious because you belong to the Lord God almighty. He is giving you the means to totally defeat your enemies. Don't worry,  fret, complain, or get angry.  Don't forget the many miracles that He has performed just for you.  He has prepared a table before you in the presence of your enemies today.  Praise and worship Him so that He can see your faith.  The victory is yours!  Don't wait till the battle's over, SHOUT FOR JOY NOW!

Peace in the palm of your hand

Father we adore you!  You are our strength and our redeemer. You are our banner and our shield.  In you we have our being.  In you we find our hope. Your grace and mercy carry us.  Your words give us peace.  We know that our victory is sure because we March  triumphantly with you.

Behold the lamb of God

Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! The reference to Jesus as THE lamb of God is found about 29 times. The symbols which could be associated with a lamb taking away sin and allowing for restoration to God began 2000 years before Christ was born. The lamb was recognized as a sacrifice which saved people from eternal punishment. John 1:29 Behold the lamb.   Peter 1:18-19  Redeemed by the blood.   Revelations 5:12-14  All heaven worshipped the lamb.  Revelations 21:27.  Only the Lamb is worthy to hold the book of life. Thank you Lord for your sacrifice.  We are not worthy,  but we are eternally grateful and we ask forgiveness for our sins as we accept you as our Lord and Savior. In Jesus name. Amen

Healthcare and healing

Today we pray for all your people that they would be well and remain in good health. Lord teach us how to live so that health is freely ours. Help us to believe with all our hearts that we can and will be healed, healthy and whole.  Build our faith so that we know your will for our lives. You didn't create us to be vessels that hold sickness and disease. Your Word says we are fearfully and wonderfully made.
     Lord, please Move on the hearts and minds of our congressmen and women, and on our justices, and on our leaders so that they will make sure that we all have lifetime premium healthcare like they do. You said that you hold the heart of the king in the palm of your hands Lord, so please cause our leaders to support and defend those people who have pre-existing health conditions so that they may always have affordable health care. May we rise up to defend the rights of those who are weak and in need.  Matthew 8 says you took on our illnesses and carried off our diseases.  Isaiah declares that by Your stripes we are healed.  We stand on your Word, Lord, and we thank you for health and healing.😊 in Jesus name. Amen

Filled with love

Lord fill my friends' day with perfect peace. Fill their hearts with hope. Fill their eyes with things of beauty. Fill their day with promise. May they feel your presence and know that you are near to them,  watching them, comforting them, holding them, and smiling so brilliantly that their beings are warmed and filled with love.  This I pray in Jesus name. Amen
