Approach problems with a light touch. When your mind moves toward a problem area, you tend to focus on that situation so intensely that you lose sight of Me. You pit yourself against the difficulty as if you had to conquer it immediately. Your mind gears up for battle, and your body becomes tense and anxious. Unless you achieve total victory, you feel defeated.
There is a better way. When a problem starts to overshadow your thoughts, bring this matter to Me. Talk with Me about it and look at it in the Light of My Presence. This puts some much-needed space between you and your concern, enabling you to see from My perspective. You will be surprised at the results. Sometimes you may even laugh at yourself for being so serious about something so insignificant.
You will always face trouble in this life. But more importantly, you will always have Me with you, helping you to handle whatever you encounter. Approach problems with a light touch by viewing them in My revealing light.
Psalm 89:15
English Standard Version
Blessed are the people who know the festal shout, who walk, O Lord, in the light of your face
English Standard Version
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
My Prayer (2022)
Lord, thank you for being with me as I go about my day, as I experience situations, as I am with people, as I come upon difficult situations. You are with me Holy Spirit, guiding me and directing me. I need not be afraid. There are times when things happen that are such a challenge to me. Thank you God for being with me, for showing me that even in these circumstances there is peace. I want to continually walk O Lord in the light of your face.

I find that when I am in a whirlwind of nonsense as my life is right now I have to focus more on HIM and less on me. He is in control of ALL of it.. just have to let go and let God.
ReplyDeleteHeavenly Father, Thank you for always being there for me. Thank you for Paul's reminder that I can do all things through You, who gives me strength. I pray Lord that when I encounter hard times and challenges in life, that I stop and ask for your help and Your presence in every situation. As I face mountains that may come before me, I pray not to move the mountains, but rather, pray that You help me take one step in front of the other and climb the mountains with Your guidance. I am reminded of the many hard climbs in life that I have loathed, and with Your help, have resulted in satisfying and breathtaking views of life.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful prayer with a very godly perspective. God be with you, Jeff, as you continue to climb mountains, God be with us all as mountains are inevitable. With our Lord, the mountains are brought low, the rough places made smooth and the crooked becomes straight just as Isaiah prophesied. All praise and thanksgiving to God. (Chris, thanks for recycling these precious gems!)
DeletePsalm 55:22 cast your anxiety unto the Lord. He will sustain you. The righteous will not be shaken
DeleteSo beautifully put, Jeff, two years later it still rings true. Save us Savior of the world for it is by your cross and resurrection that you have set us free.
DeleteThree years later, truths are timeless! Thanks for sharing them Jeff. They mean a lot to all God's Children who come in here.
DeleteJeff Your words and prayer were just what I needed to read and pray. Thanks
DeleteAmen Brie! Food for my soul and peace to my mind.
These words so much to me , thanks Jeff for the prayer ! AT
DeleteBeautiful way to start the day. Thank you Jeff
DeleteWonderful Prayer Jeff, still to this day! Thank you! I need this daily in a World of Mountains, I need the Holy Spirit to guide my choices and build my Faith!🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

ReplyDeleteAMEN!!!!!!!
Deletegod so why do I feel like you are not no where near me when I do talk and pray to you everyday. please takes those feelings away
ReplyDeleteI woke up early and went back to Nov. 8th - feels like that was a months ago and yet, by re-reading, I am able to lift you Suzanne and now, Rubyfusion in prayer.
ReplyDeleteAs the holidays approach, I again find myself yearning for the 'simpler' days, when surprises for the kids were the main things on my mind. Now everything seems to have a $ sign, reminding me, that we don't have the income we once had.
We all seem to be missing something or someone dearly. "You pit yourself against the difficulty as if you had to conquer it immediately. Your mind gears up for battle, and your body becomes tense and anxious. Unless you achieve total victory, you feel defeated." My 'defense' seems to be to go to bed earlier and earlier, which means I wake up earlier.
I am giving all the cares and concerns to Him who cares more. Father, let our hearts be light as we focus on the man healings that have taken place and still are, even as I pray.
10-4, I am praying for you and your wife. My husband and I have been there (several years ago, my husband was on IV antibiotics for well over a month - it was a very hard time for him. My daughter had a leg wound that she still has nightmares over, even though it is long gone).
And, I'm sure even then, I was figuring a budget wondering where it would all come from.
None of it matters as much now as we are through it. It taught me compassion for this present time.
Today is a new day, filled with promise from our Lord. Renew our strength, Father; remind us of Your never ending love, mercy, grace and peace. Let me feel light-hearted over insignificant issue such as event dates, parties, gifts, gatherings and focus on what really matters. And, bless the hearts of those going through lonely times. Fill that gap for them with Your love and presence.
All of you are in my prayers along with all of my family.
God Bless,
Norah
Thank you, Norah! Praying for you and yours too.
DeleteNorah - Thank you for your prayers. Praying for you as you pray for us.
Delete1 Thessalonians 5:25 Brothers, pray for us.
Thank you so much, Norah. I am treasuring your prayers & the prayers of this group so very much.

DeleteThanks Norah, After a dizzying 365 day trip around the earth, we arrive once again, at Today! ...A new day, filled with promise from our Lord. Renew our strength, Father; remind us of Your never ending love, mercy, grace and peace. Let us feel light-hearted over insignificant issue such as event dates, parties, gifts, gatherings and focus on what really matters. And, bless the hearts of those going through lonely times. Fill that gap for them with Your love and presence.
DeleteAll of you are in my prayers along with all of my family...
God Bless All of Us,
So here I am when awakened by intrusive light from my neighbors house, during what I prefer would be restful sleep time. I tell myself, 'pick up the blog, take a little time on the night watch.'
DeleteBAM! Right out the gate, a reading that his the nail on the head.
Finding the humor in having "light" as a problem. Thank you Lord, for the reminder that you are always with me, and to LIGHTEN up about this issue. Spending time talking with you is a far better use of my energy than plotting and imagining and rehearsing a conversation with my neighbors about this issue. So, JC peeps, praying for you all as I turn back to my pillow bathed in the LIGHT. ❤️
Thanks for your light-hearted perspective, Audra. I enjoyed sweet sleep under the Comforter of your prayers on the Night Shift or was it the Light Shift 😍
DeleteYour situation brought me back to Genesis when our Lord said Let There Be Light and there was Light, and for some unenlightened reason, the song Christ Be Our Light keeps playing in my head.
Enjoy the rest of your Night and thanks for doing Night or Light Watch prayer duty. Love You
PS Glad to know you passed His Vision exam and your eyes worked since you saw the light.
Love that Audra. So many light references in scripture but I think God lives when we see humor in moments, too. Praying rest eventually consumed you.
DeleteGod *loves.
DeleteLove you Sisters. You are light to me always and I sure seek it every day. The beautiful light of Christ is the best part of us so we must guard it carefully every day. Follow righteousness and the spirit above all.
DeleteAmen GraceTakesTime, God us happy when we rejoice and our hearts are so merry that we laugh. I was with my 2 yr old grandson last night and my apartment was filled with laughter! I had a ball! God is so good and He is pure love.
FATHER I approach YOU through YOUR son our savior JESUS CHRIST. I praise YOU for continuing to speak to me through YOUR Word and daily devotions. Thank YOU for showing me to have a better approach in dealing with the difficulties I face upon my arrival with my beloved. I now know what to do:pray, leave what’s done behind,
DeleteI also thank YOU for my safe upcoming trip him
LORD let YOUR Will be done and YOUR kingdom come
In JESUS CHRIST name
Amen

God's abundant love, blessings, guidance and protection to JC Family.
ReplyDeleteGood morning and blessings going out to all of you on this chilly morning in Houston. As I sip coffee under my favorite blanket, I count my blessings and thank God not for things but for people he has brought to my life. Today some long time friends of mine and I will go to the annual Nutcracker Market for some much needed retail therapy. This is our 17th year to attend. Did I mention this is MUCH NEEDED? LOL
ReplyDeleteBlessings, prayers, thoughts and well wishes going out to all of you today. Stay connected to The Vine!
Bless your heart Suzanne, you think Houston is Cold? try coming down to the East coast (NJ/NY) and share some of that coffee with me:)! It's Freezing! Stay warm and enjoy the annual Nutcracker Market with your friends.
DeleteMaplewood, NJ
Good morning, friends.
ReplyDeleteAs I read here this morning, I see how small a world this really is. Suzanne and Rubyfusion, my wife of 18 months decided she didn’t want to be married anymore and abruptly left at the end of January. I was devastated to the point of suicide. This past September marked the 4 yr. anniversary of my first wife’s passing, (we were married for 20 years). I had nowhere and no one to turn to except Jesus. He was all I had left. In the months since, His hands have scooped me up and walked me through the fire. Looking back, I see the evidence everywhere of His amazing grace and care. The culmination of these events has been a strengthening of my faith which I didn’t think was possible. He has shown me over and over how much he loves me, in spite of what my anxious mind believed. I’ve been in therapy for the better part of a year and have eased through the muck of my heart to find that I am standing on a foundation that cannot be shaken. And although I still have days where my anxiety eats my lunch, more often than not, I am gently guided by the Spirit and reminded that while people may fail me, my loving Father will not. Ever. Jesus knew rejection. He understands what that looks like for us. He knows what our pains are. And He rewards our faith.
I often think that because I’m a few months away from 50, that there may not be a person out there for me to spend my rime with. I am then reminded that He is really all I need. Do I miss intimacy? Sure. But this time alone has taught me some valuable lessons about myself. Number one being that I am a child of God! He loves me more than my earthly mind can comprehend. And His peace, which surpasses all understanding covers us, even in the darkest of days.
I wrote two poems. One is called ‘The day she left’ the other is called ‘Affirmations’. After I wrote them, I was encouraged by people close to me to share them, so, I started a blog page called can-I-share.com and posted them there. Feel free to check it out.
I’m not trying to advertise my website, I just want to let you both know that there are people who have walked the road that you are on. We understand as perhaps few can what it feels like. Also to let you know that our Heavenly Father has a plan for each us. The experiences I’ve been through have placed me in a unique position to be helpful to others. And maybe this is one of those times.
God, I come before you thankful for your grace. That You are who You say You are and that that You do what You say You’ll do. I lift up Suzanne and Rubyfusion to you. Comfort them with Your peace and hold them up in Your mighty arms. Help us to see ourselves as You see us - Your beloved children. Walk with us today and guide to the paths that you would have us walk. Let our hearts be open to the spirit and Your guidance. In the Holy name of Jesus, my Lord and Savior, amen.
God bless everyone today. Happy Friday!
Hi, Dave. I was a little out of my routine today, as I took a little road trip with my daughter for a college visit day. So I didn't check in with this blog until late in the day. I'm so glad I did! Your story is powerful and your prayer is such a comfort. Thank you for taking the time to share your story here. I love that you have started a blog, too. I will check it out this weekend. So many thoughts in my weary head this evening...and none nearly as eloquent as the prayers of this beautiful JC family. So I'll just say goodnight and God's blessings on you all as you rest in Him.
DeleteBeen there, lived that, came out the other side knowing without a doubt that GOD MAKES ALL THINGS NEW, I am so grateful for the walk down the path that lead me right here, right now. God bless you who struggle, you are on solid ground!
DeleteYour words ring with pain but also deep yearnings to be loved and fulfilled. God has the best in store for you Dave! Keep writing and believe your loving Father who knows you intimately is guiding you to all the desires of your heart. Wait on Him and be blessed.
DeleteThat should say above ‘walked through the muck’ not eased. It definitely was not an easy process.
ReplyDeleteThanks. D.

David D. Thanks for sharing. What challenging situations. It seems you are now moving away from the darkness and toward the light. I pray your journey toward the light continues. Blessings to you on your journey. Amen.
DeleteDave D..I have read your poems and they touched my heart..thank you for sharing. Thank you Jesus for your ever presence in our lives..in Dave's life. Thank you Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for your love..your amazing grace.
DeleteToday is Friday, the end of the work week for some of us. Its a day we all look forward to, knowing that the next day (Saturday) is rest of some sort from our workforce. But it doesn't matter what day it is because each day is a day of Thanksgiving, a day to be grateful for, a day to magnify the name of the LORD and even Praise and Worship HIM while we work. So dear Lord, whatever this day have in store for us, help us to never loose sight of You. May we be reminded that all our battles are Yours to fight and we stand tall when we fight it with You on our knees. May the Holy Spirit take control of our thoughts and lead us into communication with You so that we can see ALL of our problems and concerns in the Light of Your Presence!
ReplyDeleteMay the Joy of Your Presence be our strength and take us back to one of Your promises, which happens to be one of my trusted go to scriptures and is a fit reminder of today's devotion:
Isaiah 43:2(NKJV) "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you".
I can Never get tired of repeating this verse because I will always face trouble in this world, 'But more importantly, I will always have YOU with me, helping me to handle whatever I encounter.
My JC Family, may we 'Approach problems with a light touch by viewing them in God's revealing light"!
HAPPY and BLESSED FRIDAY! We are Loved and Forgiven!
Maplewood, NJ
Thank you for this perspective a year later, Maplewood! Very early morning blessings to you from the west coast ❤️
Delete...magnify the name of the LORD...sight of You...we can see...Light of Your Presence
Delete..'Approach problems with a light touch by viewing them in God's revealing light"!
Audra, with all due respect, I do not wish to make light of your situation, but after reading Maplewood NJ's post, from a year ago, I can only imagine how filled up you were with light when you read it! SHINE, JESUS, SHINE

DeleteSong by Graham Kendrick
Lord, the light of your love is shining
In the midst of the darkness, shining
Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us
Set us free by the truth you now bring us
Shine on me, shine on me...
Amen! I'll listen this morning!
DeleteHillsong also has a version of Shine Jesus Shine that I enjoy.
DeleteIt beats your neighbor's version 😊
Good advice. Jesus, Shine on me and shine in me!!! I have been viewing my problems with a lighter heart. When they come to mind I immediately give them to Jesus. Together we can do all things.
DeleteBrie and Audra, We know that the light always shines brighter in the darkness. His light is like bright sun on a dark and stormy day! Like a breath of fresh air in a stuffy room. Like the sweet taste of cool water on a dry throat. His light and love are the best part of every moment.
Was walking today and it was gray an overcast and I was thinking I really needed a sunny day to bring up my spirits. I was praying as I walked as I always do and I was going down a long road and all of a sudden in this dark dismal cloudy day there was bright light right where I was walking but not anywhere else. I looked up to the right between two houses and a large spot of sun shone bright. I just stood there looking at it. I even took a photo. I said thank you Lord. And I watched as the clouds started to cover it. But it was my gift from God! A bright light to lift me, even just for a few minutes. I was walking in the presence of the Lord and He reminded me. What a wonderful surprise.
DeleteThanks for sharing your Thanksgiving Surprise Blessing, Jeanne!
DeleteAsk and you shall receive...In your post above, you asked Jesus to shine on you and to shine in you.
Looks like He did both. Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow!
SHINE! JESUS! SHINE!

Beautiful, timeless- thank you for this beautiful way to start our day! God bless
DeleteI am blessed to come upon this blog. I need the fellowship of believers everyday. I'm at my 86 year old mom's house and it's cold for Southern California-58! It's my day to be her caregiver. My life has been rushing from one place to take care of somebody to back home to subbing to one problem to the next. I didn't take time to bring my copy of Jesus Calling. I searched and found this and it's better being able to read all the posts. You all help me with your sharing and caring. I'm realizing how I've avoided dealing with my issues by taking care of others. I'm exhausted and getting resentful. I bring it upon myself. Everyday problems are like running a marathon because I try to figure it all out myself for others. I don't take care of myself. I'm starting therapy. I'm seeking Jesus and His strength. Most of time I am rushing from one thing to next. When I get to my home I'm exhausted and I don't have time or energy to cook , clean, wash, shop, spend time in the Word etc.. I tell Jesus I give up and He helps me get through the day. Now washing machine died, car problems, incomes reduced and we have 2 sons in college. I worry about their choices, my mom's medical treatment, her finances, our finances, and my husband commutes and works 12 hour days. Compared to many people in this world I am extremely blessed. Yet somethings wrong and I'm grateful to read all the posts and how people have been through tough times and loneliness like me. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI pray for all on this site. We are all struggling and we all share one common goal to look up to our Lord on bended knees for his mercy. Thank you Lord for answered prayer. Give us the patience to wait on you. Jesus we trust in you. Come holy spirit.
ReplyDeleteMy mind is busy trying to assimilate the message God wants me to get from all the prayers and praises posted here. I looked out the window this morning to the busy intersection behind our home. We're retired and now a spectator of the goings on. I used to take notice of aging persons that seemed to become more spiritual. Many of my contemporaries are passing to the life we have been promised. The closer I get to that time, the more real it becomes and I can identify with that spirituality. If I have regrets for my life, it's that I allowed the business of living this earthly life to cloud the vision of eternal life that He has promised. My prayer is that I can live the remainder of my life in a way that will mirror the promises that God has given us.
ReplyDeleteWe are so blessed with this thing called long life that our eyes are finally opened. I have always carried Jesus with me but not really focusing on eternal life as I do now ; it took me too long, made alot mistakes along the way but by the grace of God, thank you Jesus. I dont deserve it but still you gave it abundantly. Lord, have mercy on our children and grandchildren; open their eyes so they can see your face.
ReplyDeleteAudra Although I was late 2 the party yesterday, November 14, I did eventually respond 2 your 2 Mask or not 2 Mask post. Whatever you choose, be blessed.
ReplyDeleteI saw it, thanks Brie! ❤️
DeleteI thought this blog would be the one place I could go to avoid the talk of politics but unfortunately that has now been rebuffed. I guess it's impossible these days.
DeleteI'm sorry TJ - I only mentioned the mask problem becoming a political issue in our state because it is what is causing the confusion here. I did not nor will I go into political view of my own.
DeleteI didn't think what I said was political. But it only takes one comment like yours TJ and I've deleted my comment. Thanks
DeleteTGIF Thanks be to God we are all forgiven! Where would I be had it not been for the Lord's forgiveness in my life?
DeleteMy life is filled with God's Blessings. I am releasing me and gratefully receiving them. To God be The Glory for these and ALL Blessings received:

✝️ FROM PSALM 103
ANYTIME, ANYWHERE PRAYER
I am blessing The Name of God with all my heart. Yes, I am blessing The Lord at all times and remembering all the Glorious Things He Does for me. He Forgives. He Heals. He Ransoms. He Surrounds me with Lovingkindness and Tender Mercies. He Fills my life with good things. He Renews my youth like the eagle's. He Reveals His will. He is full of Kindness and Love.
🙏 THANKSGIVING PRAYER FOR US:
Dear Heavenly Father God, Thank You for the equal importance You give when we pray our way through the day, as when we pray at set aside time. When we think of how we'd feel if our children would regularly say, "I just called to say I love you" or "I just stopped by to say I appreciate you. You're awesome!" in addition to set aside holidays like Mother's Day, Father's Day, Birthdays, Thanksgiving Day, Easter and Christmas, then we realize, Hey, we are Your Children, and perhaps you'd love both pray our way through the day prayers plus set aside time prayers from us for us. Would You help us take every opportunity to tell You how wonderful You are? And how wonderfully blessed we are to have You? How much security and joy we experience surrounded by Your Goodness? And to give You both anytime, anywhere prayers along with set aside prayer times?
In Jesus' Name I ask. I seek. I knock. I praise. I thank. Amen
Amen, Good reminder of these things Brie. Thank You!
DeleteAmen amen ❤

Praying for your sil Brie. My family tends to make stones. Through prayer God led me to one of His creation, Chanca Piedra, it's in liquid form. It's a south american plant. It's known as the "stone breaker". Have your sil look it up. It works wonders! God made, not man made🤗
DeletePraying for your son-in-love, Brie and for all of my JC Family. Enjoy this day of rest and fellowship.

DeletePraying for him Brie, and for all JC warriors loved ones as Loveconquersall beautifully prayed. In Jesus name, amen.

These earnest and swift response prayers make me think of how the body responds - like the army of white blood cells dispersed to fight infection or heal. Your prayers are amazing and powerful.
DeletePraying for your dear son in law! May God rid his body of kidney stones and all weaknesses and infirmities and take away his pain and bring him back to perfect health. Thank you Jesus!
DeletePraying healing blessings for your son-in-love, Brie! Also lifting up your daughter...it’s so hard to see someone we love in pain!
DeleteFather, please help me to keep You as my focal point in my life and let everything else be secondary. Thank You Jesus. Praise the Lord continually and always. Amen 🙏.

DeleteHelp me to walk in the true word of God. Thank You Jesus. I will bless, praise, and rejoice in the Lord continually and always. Glory to the Lord.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful prayer!
DeleteWell, what do you know, got to the end of comments and neighbors lights are out. Thank you Jesus! Thank you JC family. Trivial in the big scheme of things, now I lay me down to sleep 😴
ReplyDeleteHope you get some sweet sleep, Audra! Last night we climbed in bed and our neighbor's front porch light across the street came right in our window at my face! We sleep with all of the blinds open. I just rolled over and finally slept! That's my prayer for you. It's rainy and gray here - good sleeping weather. :)

Amen. Thanks for feeding my hungry soul.
DeleteMost Gracious Loving Father, This morning, I have so much to thank You for. Words can never express the gratitude I feel. It doesn't matter what comes my way, my life is in Your hands. You are the way Maker and the problem Solver. Like the Psalmist, I declare this grateful praise:
ReplyDelete"Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before Him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is He who made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations."(Psalm 100).
Sunday Blessings and Peace to all.

DeleteAnd those that know Your name put their trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You. (Psalm 9:10). Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9). You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. (Isaiah 26:3).
ReplyDeleteAmen! Thank you for the word dear Janet. It will sustain me through this day. 🙏💕
DeleteHeavenly Father, thank You for always being with me. Your presence supersedes everything else in the world. There is nothing like it. I have so many troubles in my life in this world at this time and it's been difficult to keep my focus off of them and on You Lord. Help me to focus on You and not on myself and all my troubles. And now, these last couple of days, I've been in much pain from my back/hip area that goes all the way down my leg. Please forgive me for not being able to concentrate and focus on the things that I should. I am so sorry for this. Help me Jesus. Please remove this painful affliction in my body by Your healing touch. You are the healer and miracle worker and I know that You are our divine physician. You only need to touch me and the pain will be gone. I believe in You and I know that You heal us. Please take my pain away and help me to keep You the center of my life and to always look to You in all things and to not let my eyes rest on the things of this world and my burdens. Thank You for all my benefits and blessings Lord. Thank You for Your mercy and grace. Thank You for being in my life and for loving me unconditionally. You are the best Father ever. I praise You Lord. Thank You Jesus. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen.
ReplyDeleteThank You Father for healing Janet's legs, hips and back and removing all the pain. Bring her back to perfect health and peace and comfort. Guide her to the help she needs and lead her by the hand. Guide her to the people she can trust, and if this job isn't the one you have prepared for her, open the new door. Thank You for Your continued faithfulness in her life, protection and blessings. We trust You and love You. Thank You in Jesus' Name.

DeleteHeavenly Daddy, Your daughter Janet needs your help right now. Please gather her up into your loving arms and hug her gently til all the pain and hurt is gone. Please lead her through, or around the problems she is facing, and resolve them. Show her clearly the direction that you have for her to go in and open all the right doors to accomplish Your purposes in her life. Shut the wrong doors, those that are not of You. In Jesus Name Amen.
DeletePeter - Thank you for blessing Janet with your beautiful prayer to the great physician, Jehovah Rapha.
DeleteAmen Peter! Beautiful prayer. I especially like the sounds of some doors shutting and some new ones opening for Janet and us all.
DeleteLove and agree with all of these beautiful prayers!
DeletePeter and Jeanne, claiming your well said prayers for our hurting sister Janet. 🙏 love ans prayers Janet. Mindy
DeletePraying with you all for our dear Janet. Thank You Jesus!
DeleteJanet, I too, join with my fellow JC Warriors in prayer for your back, hip, and leg pain. NOT diagnosing by any means but could be from driving/sitting. Stretching is super-important...especially when in a seated position for hours on end. (Spine issues is part of what we do in our holistic practice) NOT to say THIS is what is going on with you but the stretching could help undo the tightness...email me at njschreibs@gmail.com and I will forward you some excellent stretches that have helped many a patient and these are good to do DAILY so as to not have continuing pain. Doing this "homework" is key.
DeleteFather, I want to thank you for this day. This new day that You have made. I want to rejoice in your name and the name of your Father. Bless us all.
ReplyDeletePraying for Janet to recieve the relief that only you can provide. Though our earthly pain may move, subside, change, remain or disappear entirely our overwhelming assurance is that you remain the same. That you Father hear our pleas and understand each hurt that enters our moments. Lord your perfect plan will heal our every last cell and that when our days here are completed our bodies too will be fully whole and complete in every way. Thank you Jesus! Praying for the saints, those who endure and press on for the greatest reward. Waiting amongst the pain and the glory, coexisting with God at the center leading us thru and to this glorious light which is always Him.
ReplyDeletePraying for this peace which the edge of my mind can touch and it heals my thinking and the pain changes as the wait is clarified. Lord bless us all in the wait as we focus on you and our hearts sing in Jesus name.
Amen dear Fern. Your words moved my heart. Joining in your prayer:
DeleteLord bless us all in the wait as we focus on you and our hearts sing in Jesus' name.
Sending warm love to you as we wait along With Jesus all together dear Jeanne.
DeletePrayer request for grandson Al. Facing dilemmas in his mid teen life. Deserted by his dad when about 2 years old, really needs guidance and help, no other male close to advise cept me. Struggling in college, and many hurts rise to the surface. Pray also that I hear God well enough to listen first then receive and give Godly wisdom and advice. Thanks JC family.
ReplyDeletePeter - "Pray that I hear God well enough to listen first then receive and give Godly wisdom and advice" Echoing and joining in prayer for your grandson, Al. God Bless you Peter for being the "father figure" in Al's life.
DeletePeter - adding my prayers for Al. May God speak to you clearly so that you would hear and be able to share with your grandson. Peace to you. JE
DeletePeter, praying for your Grandson AL. For God to pull him toward the right people to guide and mentor him, and for you to to listen to God as He guides you to love, mentor and share with AL.
DeleteDear Peter, Joining in all prayers for your grandson Al. May our loving Father comfort him, open his eyes to the right way to walk, draw him close to Him, and strengthen his faith. Thank You Jesus!
DeletePraying for Al, Peter. May God continue to hold his hand and bring him THROUGH this valley, connecting him with God-centered men who can be of help. On his college campus, there is often a Christian ministry. Perhaps you or he could check into it? As his grandfather, you're feeling Al's struggles tenfold. Praying for you, Peter, as well. Thank you, Father, that you have a great plan for Al with putting the right people in his path! In your son, Jesus' name, AMEN!

Always loved that song. I loved both renditions. The choir is so soothing. Thank you for blessing me.
DeleteHeading to bed, listening to you song, Sassy Mom! The last 4 days have been such a whirlwind. Will try to catch you up in he next few days. Suffice it to say, that I am the shortest Retirement Person, ever. 8 days. Trusting God on this decision, made with my DH. Kind of shaking my head, but trusting God. HE knows! Love and prayers dfor all of you. 'Mary, did YOU know?'
ReplyDeleteGod has equipped you well dear Norah for anything on your path.
ReplyDeleteTrusting with you that His Guiding Hand has helped you make the right decision and all will be well.
Heavenly Father, thank You for another blessed day in the Lord. Good morning Lord. I praise You Lord always. Open my heart to Yours. Help me to have both feet in Your heavenly world and not one foot in this world and one foot in Yours. I want to be all in with You Lord. I belong to You Lord and I'm so glad 🙏. Thank You Jesus 😊.
ReplyDeleteCast your burdens on the LORD, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved. (Psalm 55:22). Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. In God (I will praise His word), in God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me? (Psalm 56:3-4).
DeleteAmen Janet🙏
DeleteAmen!
DeleteThank you dear Janet, I needed those scriptures today. Will explain later. Bless your day. Do you live in NY or are visiting NY? Haven't read yesterday's posts.
DeleteDear Jan---Standing in the gap for your circumstances. I lift up Praise to You, Lord, as a barrier against Jan's circumstances.
DeleteI thank You, Lord, You are greater than any threats of the enemy. I thank You that you will always show Your power on Jan's behalf when she calls on You in Jesus's name. Make her so strong in faith that the enemy does not cause her concern, because her greatest concern is serving You. HALLELUJAH!!! I Pray and Believe in Jesus's name, AMEN and AMEN.
Psalm18:3. "I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies."
Amen deart Janet! Just what I needed to read and carve into the tablet of my heart.
DeleteWelcome dear Blessings from NY. I am also in NY. Welcome!
Dear Jan, Whatever it is, God is greater. Praying with our JC family that all will go well. Praying all did go well today. God is already preparing your tomorrow so rest in Him tonight. Much love.
Amen to that JJ! Great prayer and verse and encouragement!
"Approach problems with a light touch."
ReplyDeleteA Word in season for me today.
A grandson, at 17 still a minor, has been waitering evenings at a burger restaurant.
Out of the fifty hours worked he got paid twenty; also cost of uniform deducted.
The manager and owner is giving him the runaround, avoiding meetings, not answering phone calls, ignoring text messages and emails. I suspect many of the kids waitering there are being treated similarly.
I have difficulty in restraining myself; my initial reaction to this injustice is to go there and sort it out - we all want to protect our own. Then I read today's Jesus Calling and 'gearing up for battle' is exactly how I feel.
Instead of my initial response I'm now taking onboard today's advice; "There is a better way. When a problem starts to overshadow your thoughts, bring this matter to Me."
Ok Lord, I bring Alex my grandson and this matter of short pay to You. I am incensed at this injustice in taking advantage of a young teenager. So I bring this matter to You, talking to You about it, asking for Your help, looking at this situation in the light of Your presence. Bring Your Peace to us I pray, and right this wrong. Thank You Jesus, Amen.
Thank you Janet for the scripture you posted "Cast your burdens on the LORD, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved. (Psalm 55:22)"
On a lighter note my wife reminded me that we first met 51 years ago today at the YWCA in Durban. Thank You Lord for Karen, the biggest blessing and love of my life.
Thank you Peter for the great example of “living it” and the reminder that I’m not alone in this.
DeleteCongrats on 51 years!!! Praying for Alex.
DeleteWhat a blessing to be together for such a long time dear Peter! God bless you and Karen and your life together. May our Way Maker guide your grandson's boss to see this injustice and pay him fairly for his hard work! Thank You Jesus!
DeleteGood morning friends. I take this post to heart, as it is so important to approach problems with a light touch and bring them to God before i get all worked up trying to solve them. This includes relationship issues with my husband where I forget to pause, and invite God in. After 49 years together, we know where to push each other’s buttons. I am inspired by my 99 yr old mom. She lives in assisted living, sleeps often, awakes for meals, and prays. When I wake her from a sleep no matter when I come, she starts talking to Jesus right away….”Thank you Jesus, I am so blessed, etc.”. She is a living Saint. So positive, thankful, and joyful. I am blessed to be her daughter.
ReplyDeleteDear Ellen, How blessed to be with the one you love for almost 50 years. Believe me after so many years, you both know how to push each other's buttons. We've been married for 41 years but together for 8 years before we got married. Your Mom sounds like an angel and a gem. One of God's favorites for sure! God bless you, your hubby and your wonderful Mom! <3
DeleteHow wonderful. Speaks to my heart. Thank you for sharing.
DeleteThanks for sharing, Ellen. I'm with her...”Thank you Jesus, I am so blessed!
DeleteThank you and God bless your mom and you! I like “…invite God in…” 🙏
ReplyDeleteHoly Spirit, be my reminder to cast it all upon the Lord and to be still enough for God to do what only He can do, knowing that I cannot. Bring peace to all this night as we trust in you, knowing you will not leave us or forsake us. Blessed be your holy name, Elohim!
ReplyDeleteThanks dear Rich C! You added peace to my night with that. The Spirit has been guiding me and I know where my peace and joy come from. Certainly not situations, but because of Who I belong to. Bless His Holy Name Forever!
DeleteRich --- Thank you for your prayer for peace. Peace, the fruit of the Holy Spirit, brings, well-being, contentment,
ReplyDeleteand wholeness, whatever the circumstances. I also pray the Holy Spirit's Great Peace over you and all right now in Jesus's name.
Philippians 4:7. "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." JJ
Thanks JJ! I have always loved Philippians 4:6-7. Praying with our dear JJ for your peace in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
ReplyDeleteSpoke to my friend Sandy today. She has myeloma but she said her numbers are pretty good and she doesn't have to go to the doctor for 6 weeks. Hallelujah! But she recently had a colonoscopy and they took off a precancerous polyp and ever since, she has had a tenderness in that area when she sits. Thanking God that He is already healing her and resolving her problem, and bringing her back to good health and comfort in the Name of Christ Jesus. Amen.
ReplyDeleteHow is Sandy doing with MM? Norah hubby?
DeleteYou must be a mindreader dear MadFox. You're always in my prayers and heart and I pray all is still going well. It is just amazing that you asked me about Sandy because I just spoke to her 2 days ago and although her numbers are not good, the doctor feels that her lack of symptoms is a very good sign so he doesn't want to see her for 2 months. She had been getting checked once a month. She sounded good to me and I'm so grateful she feels okay. Thanks my brother. God is strengthening me and I'm doing fine. Just juggling a lot each day. Putting everything into His able Hands. I know you are too. Much love.
ReplyDeletePrayers for Sandy dear Jeanne. Also for Barry & family as the grieve Rodney's passing. May they be comforted in knowing Rodney was just passing through. He is in a better place. He is home!
DeleteHow blessed we are to have a very present Help in these difficult times. So much to do and so many people who need us. But God is our strength and salvation and our song. He is right there with us to lead us through the wilderness. I feel Him very close to me, and He sure knows my voice. I'm like David calling out to Him. Hear my cry. Incline Your Ear to me. He does and I know He understands.
ReplyDeletePsalm 40:1
I waited patiently for the Lord;
And He inclined to me,
And heard my cry.
Psalm 34:17-19
The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears,
And delivers them out of all their troubles.
The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as have a contrite spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
Amen Jeanne 🙏. Glad to hear that Sandy, you, and Madfox are all doing well. Let the light of Christ shine brightly within all of you as you continue on your journey. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏.
DeleteThanks so much dear Janet! Yes I was so happy to hear Sandy is doing well. And thanking God every day MadFox is in remission and God is holding him tight. We serve such an amazing God! He leads us to serve Him and rewards us with His faithfulness. I had so much to do this morning and I finished my Bible group prep and even got to pack to go to Brooklyn tomorrow. God is so good and faithful. Praying you are doing well in every part of your life. Thank You Jesus.
DeleteFor He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight. (Ephesians 1:4).
ReplyDeleteAmen. Chosen before we were even born!
DeleteAmen dear Janet. Let's continue to run towards holiness & a blameless goal. Hallelujah!
ReplyDeleteDear Brie, loved the song. Thank for blessing us with it. As far as your post yesterday, dear sister, you had Him at "thank You". That's all He requires of us. ❤️

Very sad but we know He reigns on High and we will be with Him someday. The greatest King whose Reign is forever.
DeleteThe Message Psalm 121
ReplyDelete1-2 I look up to the mountains;
does my strength come from mountains?
No, my strength comes from God,
who made heaven, and earth, and mountains.
3-4 He won’t let you stumble,
your Guardian God won’t fall asleep.
Not on your life! Israel’s
Guardian will never doze or sleep.
5-6 God’s your Guardian,
right at your side to protect you—
Shielding you from sunstroke,
sheltering you from moonstroke.
7-8 God guards you from every evil,
he guards your very life.
He guards you when you leave and when you return,
he guards you now, he guards you always.
Thanks for that good encouragement, brother Peter! We are well protected and taken care of. Hallelujah!
DeleteWhat if, just for today I am thankful for EVERYTHING, including the treasure of His Company, talking with Him about ALL situations, circumstances, and me; then viewing ALL with Him through the Light Touch of His Presence?
ReplyDeleteDear Heavenly Father God,
Thank You that I am wonderfully made, loved, produced, and directed by You. Thank You for helping me to see myself JUST AS You See me.
Righteous.
Complete.
Dearly Loved.
Thanks be to God, I always have You right here with me, helping me to handle all I encounter today. In Jesus' Name. AMEN!
Amen! He's right here beside me and He has helped me all day. I am blessed.
DeleteFantastic prayer, I appreciate you guys everyday as you remind me of Our Heavenly Father's Unfathomable Love❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
ReplyDeleteIndeed! Let us rejoice in this new day, standing firmly in the shoes of the gospel. The WORD is ALIVE!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful truth dear Audra. The Word is Alive!
ReplyDeleteSuch a busy day yesterday. But God led me through it all. Even helped me make a big pot of chicken soup. I tried to make my mom happy and stayed with her all day but I stayed up late unpacking some of my stuff. Rick is coming tomorrow to stay over because we have his brother Jimmy’s funeral on Saturday morning. My brother Tommy is coming to stay with our mom while we go there. He is very kind to help us. He’s also planning to stay here on 12/7 so we can attend a large memorial get together to celebrate Jimmy’s life. Death is part of life but it hurts so much to lose our loved ones. Thanks for your prayers for Jimmy’s wife and family. We will all miss him very much. His good wife Michelle is all alone now and her son and DIL and baby granddaughter live in a different state. May God cover them all with a blanket of comfort, and rest Jimmy’s beautiful soul. Thank You Father for this in Jesus’ Name. Amen
ReplyDeleteTook this from today’s devotion.
“You will always face trouble in this life. But more importantly, you will always have Me with you, helping you to handle whatever you encounter.”
We are blessed to have our Lord and Savior always by our sides. I’m resting in Him because He really understands how I feel. Have a sweet and fruitful day in His presence and peace. May He continue to answer our prayers and strengthen and heal us and our loved ones in body, mind and spirit. Thank You Jesus.
Revelation 21:4
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
Please also pray for my dear friend Russell who is in excruciating pain right now from his fibromyalgia.
ReplyDeleteThank You merciful Father for removing his pain and bringing him sweet relief, and let him know You are the Greatest Healer and You are faithful to those who trust in You. Praying this in Jesus’ Name. Amen
Joining in prayers with you Jeanne 🙏. May God's comfort, healing, strength, and peace be poured into Russell and Jimmy's family and loved ones. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏. God bless!
DeleteContinued prayers dear Jeanne for your family and the sorrow you are all facing. Lifting up Michelle that she will be drawn close to Jesus through this loss. May your friend Russell experience God's healing touch today & no more pain!, Hallelujah!🙏🙏🙏🙌
DeletePraying for Michelle & family and Russell. Holding all up to the Throne of Grace for God's comfort, strength and healing. My wife Karen has fibromyalgia and often the Gabapentin is not working.
DeletePraying for you, Jeanne, may God continue to provide the strength and endurance you need to do all you do for so many! May your family feel God's loving arms around them during this difficult loss of Rick's brother, Jimmy. May the memories made with him bring them comfort in the days and weeks ahead.
DeletePraying too for Russell and the pain he is experiencing. May God ease his pain. In Jesus' name, amen.

ReplyDeleteCalling on our SassyMom! Where are you dear girl. We miss you! Praying all is well😍🙏🙏👋
ReplyDeleteAsking for trifecta prayers my JC family of fierce warriors! My 3 closest friends have all been diagnosed with cancer. Jamie over this past year, Stephanie last month and Betsy "Bets" just told me Monday even though she's known since mid-October wanting just to turn inward and be alone...which of course I understand and respect. Jamie has been on a mighty course of holistic treatments and feels better than she has in years believing from deep in her soul that God has healed her. Stephanie is still trying to be accurately diagnosed. The wheels of this happening are moving like molasses in January. Very infuriating to say the least. She is finally receiving more testing that will finally pinpoint and confirm her diagnosis...but Steph wasn't waiting for the dx but immediately began a holistic treatment regimen. Bets is finding out more today knowing only it's lung cancer with emphysema. She was a smoker and did stop but it didn't stop this dx from happening. She is so mad at herself and just bawled yesterday upon reading the biopsy findings. All three of my dear friends are strong believers and believe in the power of prayer.
ReplyDeleteDuring my work day Wednesday, I was running a couple of errands during lunch and was asking God out loud why. Why all three of my friends?! Almost instantaneously I heard in return, "because you will have a trifecta testimony of my healing to share with others". Cannot explain it other than it being God...and I believe it to my core.
So, would you be so kind as to add Jamie, Steph, and Bets to your prayers. They (and myself) would be so very grateful.
"Yea, though I walk THROUGH the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for You are with me!"
And while a weapon is trying to form in them IT WILL NOT PROSPER! Jehovah Rapha is bringing them all through this!
As Jeanne quoted: “You will always face trouble in this life. But more importantly, you will always have Me with you, helping you to handle whatever you encounter.”
Thank you in advance for your prayers, Mighty Warriors! Blessings to you and yours!
