Let Me bless you with My grace and Peace. Open your heart and mind to receive all that I have for you. Do not be ashamed of your emptiness. Instead, view it as the optimal condition for being filled with My Peace.1 Samuel 16:7
It is easy to touch up your outward appearance, to look as if you have it all together. Your attempts to look good can fool most people. But I see straight through you, into the depths of your being. There is no place for pretense in your relationship with Me. Rejoice in the relief of being fully understood. Talk with Me about your struggles and feelings of inadequacy. Little by little, I will transform your weaknesses into strengths. Remember that your relationship with Me is saturated in grace. Therefore, nothing that you do or don't do can separate you from My presence.
English Standard Version
But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.”
Romans 8:38-39
English Standard Version
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
My Prayer
Lord, I want to lean on You and allow You to bless me with Your grace and peace. Peace is something I readily understand, but grace is still a puzzling idea. When I see it, I think of salvation because it is receiving something I don't deserve. But, I also think of it as forgiveness. Help me to understand that.
Before You Lord, I stand empty. I don't come before You on my own merit or my own justification. Lord, there are troubles and toils in my life (back pain, needing a car, teaching class, getting work done, training my children, working around the house) that I confront, accept, and often dodge. Through them all, I need your help and guidance. I need Your strength.
Lord, I do feel inadequate. I feel inadequate at work to do the job I'm hired to do. I get so weak and want to give up. Lord, help me to take the right steps day by day to do my tasks. At home, I am exhausted and with my back hurting I don't want to do much. I want to just rest with my wife. Keep me alert and ready to work with my children. Thank you for your strength.
Lord, I pray that Your scripture and Your words would be in my life. Lord, apply them to the circumstances of my life so that I'm thinking the way You think.

Lord I am today struggling with finances and struggling between the bickering of my younger brother and sister over my mothers illness and the fact that my sister had medical power of attorney. I have chosen to stay out of the decisions she makes as she has requested. I am okay with my decision but I still struggle. I know I'll be ok because I'm depending upon You to guide my thoughts and I will be comforted. I want my siblings to communicate in peace. Thank you Jesus. I do fell a bit of emptiness but I Trust you Jesus. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Thanks for sharing. Ps 28:7, "The Lord is my strength and my shield."
DeletePaytonfamily, thanks for the prayer. I know it was probably written a while ago (I think) but hows the back? Back pain can be persistent and nasty! My prayer is that you are free from the pain you have experienced! Amen.
DeleteHE will be with you through all things Tiny!!!
ReplyDeleteFather, today was unfamiliar for a long while. I want to thank you for the strength to do and be not in my element. it is exhausting at this point. The anxiety has healed some and I am looking forward to feeling like myself again. my weakness is your strength, your grace makes up for all my faults. I am so happy you are advocating to save me from sin. Your will be done as I do my best today. I am tired though, let me give myself permission to rest. Father be with Chandler today and his ability to see clearly who he is in Christ. surround him in the Power of Love, guerd him from every evil that seeks to destroy his joy and hope. Be with Chase spending time with a friend, guard his mind against procrastination, help him to absorb the information needed for finals. Surround him with peace and security. surround his parents with confidence and hope that hard times are a thing of the past. That strongholds in finances are being broken, hope is being restored as both Justin and I look to you to heal our home, finances, marriage, communication, parenting relationships with our children. I envision Chandler coming over for dinner and he and Chase doing fun things together, they are bringing friends over that feel welcome and our family is having fun together. We are all enjoying each others company. i ask in your name I may feel love instead of fear.i pray I can meditate now and know your will, feel your presence enjoy your peace. Amen
ReplyDelete"Nothing can separate you from the love of God," so our fears can be given to Him and today we can have peace... and tomorrow, and the day after that, forever... Thank you for Your constant presence Lord. Amen
ReplyDeleteMadfox - Amen!

ReplyDeleteWOW! WOW! What open and honest prayers noted with such transparency this morning! The Devotion is applicable to me today, and so are the prayers, Peace is a gift I am allowing myself to accept one day at a time. I realize I don't have to pretend that everything is alright any longer, GOD knows and he will help me live out HIS Will for my life. I am running late this morning but I wanted to share a testimony. Sunday morning I cried out to the Lord from my heart with tears, NEEDING to know HE was listening around 7 AM! Three specific requests, by 1 PM he audibly answered each prayer, one through the sermon, one through a text message and the HUGE one through my husband! I needed to know HE was with me more than anything on Sunday because I was slipping back to feeling alone! He heard my cry and he answered me, and I know he will do the same for each of your prayers, and it can be SUDDENLY, as it was for ME! I am continuing to pray and agree with you!
ReplyDeleteIN HIS LOVE
God's daughter - what a beautiful testimony! I was so humbled by today's JC. He sees it ALL and loves me anyway! Ha ha...sounds trite but it is so true. He cares for every hair on our heads and goes before us in all things. Praying with you, God's daughter and all of our JC Family. That we can see ourselves, if only a minute at a time as our Lord and Savior sees us. It's so easy to be hard on myself and forgiving with everyone else. How can I be His light to others if I don't apply it to myself?
ReplyDeletePraying with all of you and thanking Him for all His many blessings.
Unknown Unknown - I look back a year ago and look how far you've come! I still pray for you daily and trust all is well with your soul.
We are blessed!
I too appreciate the testimonies and open sharing! Wonderful to hear, God's daughter.
ReplyDeleteI was drawn to the part about it being easy to touch up your outer appearance. Someone close in my life saw me shortly after Christmas and said it was so nice to see me happy. I was proud of myself for making myself up and "putting on a show." I was hurting inside and really struggling. Thank you God, my Father, for knowing me during my struggles, and loving me through everything. Thank You for always being by my side. Jesus, I trust in You. CO
Holy Spirit, open my eyes so that I might see wonderful Truth from Your Word. Illuminate my mind so that I can learn what YOU want me to learn. Praying in Your precious name, Jesus.
ReplyDeleteI am blessed in reading your posts this AM, God's daughter, Norah, CO. Thank you! This AM, I sat with I Samuel 1:9-20, the story of Hannah's prayer before the Lord. She begins, "If only You will look on the misery of Your servant and remember me..." The "If" struck me. But I guess it shouldn't have for how often is that the spirit of my prayer even if unspoken, If. But the rest of her opening line drew my eyes to the cross. I thought, You have looked on my misery and remembered me. Being mostly at peace this morning, it is easy to say that; but if I am deeply troubled by something, will I surround my prayer with that confidence? Hannah's prayer was granted as she requested and she bore a son, Samuel. I Samuel 2 was the song she sang of God's great reversal of circumstances, very similar to Mary's song in Luke 1:46-55. Ah yes, the Lord God who reverses all ills, seen in the cross, experienced countless times throughout my life. Devout Hannah prayed, "If.."; I should be praying, "When..." God be with you.
ReplyDeleteHello Bob,
DeleteThank you for your reply yesterday. I am inspired by your faith.
God bless.
All these testimonies bless my heart and lift my soul. Yesterday I made a point of taking breaks through my day to sit quietly in His peace and presence. My day went very well. The assurance that He is with me always is such a blessing that never ends.
DeleteThank You, dear Jesus, for always understanding me and accepting me just as I am, for opening my eyeos to see the light around me, calming my mind so I can feel Your peace, lifting me when I’m weary, refreshing my soul, and leading me to glorify you. Amen
This morning/day, I am blessed to be in the blessings of the Lord.
ReplyDeleteGrace and Peace are experienced, they are not just objective status we enjoy before God, they are REAL enjoyment in the presence of the Lord. We will find and understand as we read Eph. 2:14-15 and Eph. 2:8, that God made an objective peace with us and Himself by the blood of Jesus through the scriptural true act of divine grace that was unchangeable.
Reading today’s devotions reminds me of the Apostle Paul’s letters with prayers in the bible, He always prays for us with: “Grace and peace be to you,” “Grace and peace come to you”, “May grace and peace be multiplied to you”, “Grace to you and peace.” The Apostle is offering and praying for us to experience increase of grace and peace, not because God is gracious today and not tomorrow. What God has with us does not come and go, but as believers, Romans 5: 1 and 2 suggests that when we stand firm in the unshakable grace and unchangeable peace of our Lord, then we multiply in an increased and deepened experience of grace and peace.
Father, I open my heart to receive Your Grace and peace as empty as I may feel. Thank You that You see straight through the depths of my being. I do my best to look good on the outside for people, but with You, I am free to let it all out because You already fully understand. Thank You that absolutely NOTHING I do or don’t do can ever separate me from Your love and presence. Again, yes I am indeed blessed to be in Your blessings. Thank You Lord.
Prayers and blessings are all coming your way this day JC Family. Receive His grace and peace and stay blessed.
Maplewood, NJ
Just what I needed to hear dear Maplewood. Thanks, No matter what heavy thing settles in my heart, His love, peace and grace are above it and greater. His all encompassing love and understanding are incomprehensible and never ending.
DeleteI must come to Him empty of all the trivial garbage that invades my mind each day. I wake up in thanksgiving and pray, but then I plan my day and rush about trying to complete my the things on my list. Thankfully I have been allowing myself to slow down and tune in to His will for me which often turns my whole day around, His way is so much better than my way. He establishes my steps. And in His love I am made complete.
This is so true, His way is better than my way! Thank you Jesus for the ways you turned around the events of my day, for the circumstances and people you delivered in my path. You are so amazing!!!
DeleteThis amazing pence continues in my life day by day. Leaned hard on the trust muscles and saw signs when I looked up that He was near to me and in control. I love days like today. I will pray for all on my long drives tomorrow and Monday and ask for your prayers for traveling mercies and protection over this weekend. Thank you!
DeleteThat's would be *peace*
DeleteThank you to everyone for their inspirations. I use this blog everyday to help me get through my anxieties and depression.
ReplyDeleteBMP, praying for you daily. May you feel His love, peace and grace always within you.

Me too. Praying with BFF. May God heal your weaknesses and give you true peace. How did your son make out with his company? I’ve been praying he would raise money to keep his company open.
DeleteOur Rose, Though you remain in my prayers, It is always good to see you.
DeleteI will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. -Psalm 9:1 (NLT)
ReplyDeleteThank you Jesus for this day! You are always loving and with me. I pray to stop allowing the brokenness of grief drag me down, re-focus on Your love
. I am very well aware of pretending that all is well to others. But that is okay. In my heart I am comforted 24/7 by your love , sweet Jesus. Today I chose to be about others. I know that opportunity will come up many times today. I cant recognize these chances to reflect your love in me when I have an internal battle going on. Free me Lord, grow me to glorify you! Amen
This grabbed me with a tug on my heart this morning:
DeleteI know that opportunity will come up many times today. I cant recognize these chances to reflect your love in me when I have an internal battle going on. Free me Lord, grow me to glorify you! Amen
The internal battle seems to be intensifying. I think it's because I am putting my hope in this world. That the future will look more normal in terms of fun, travel, sports, entertainment. I'm looking at relationships that have become divided over conflicting news and opinions on what is true and right. Help me Lord to simply stay the course with you each day, moment by moment and let go into your will being done. Thank you!
I am in the same boat with you Audra. It is a boat like The boat that started across the lake with His Disciples, when suddenly a terrible storm came up, with waves higher than the boat. But Jesus was asleep.
DeleteYuup! That's the boat! I am so ready to join the disciples who went to Him and awakened Him, shouting, "LORD SAVE US. WE ARE SINKING!
I imagine He'll tell us the same thing, O Ye of little faith! Why are you so frightened?
And we'll say because our mustard seeds of faith are drowning in the sea of circumstances.
I'm OK with His rebuke as long as the rest of the Story unfolds...
Then, He stood up and rebuked the wind and waves, and the storm subsided and all was calm.
Work Jesus Work Out! Work out! Work It Out! I ask. I seek. I knock. I praise. I thank. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
Amen! Surrendering myself to the Lord's will today. Thank You, Lord, that despite what I do or don't do, I can never be separated from Your love. This touched ny spirit deeply. "Free me, Lord. Grow me to glorify You."
DeleteBlessings from California
Amen sweet sisters! I sure can relate and I am trusting in the Lord with all my heart, mind and soul and doing my best not to lean on my own understanding. But I watch the news and I pray for God to end this craziness and usher in the new and better world. I trust in His promises and know He will never leave us. We are His beloved children and it appears we are in trouble and sinking, But we must look above all we can see and continue to lean on the Everlasting Arms.
DeleteAmen, in Jesus's name we pray! 🙏✝️🙏✝️
DeleteBlessed Day! Celebrated my Best Man's 76th Birthday. Several friends, kids and grandkids stopped by. One brought a meal, one brought hugs for Papaw,from 2 Littles. One will come later to share time with him on what he loves to watch. I gave him my gift - a photo compilation of our dear friends funeral, which he was asked to be an Honorary Pall Bearer. He had saved the rose, and the invitation. Our dear Dorothy passed away 6/15 and her husband of almost 70 yrs. followed 4 months later. They were such stellar examples of marriage and life and giving and my dear hub wept. He'd forgotten that he asked that I preserved that rose.
ReplyDeleteI am going to bed very thankful. I know that I have changes to make, but I'm OK with that. We are all 'works in progress.' And God loved us enough to give His only begotten Son. The only Mediator; the only way to get to the Father.
Lord, let my children see (SEE), the love and commitment between me and their dear Dad. Let our sons grow to cherish their wives and their wives to respect their husbands. It's the only reason we will celebrate 46 yrs next month. We followed The Word. Never perfect (so many flaws), but doing our best every day to be our best for Him. What a night. And we will celebrate this great husband, father, brother for the rest of the week. :)
Love to all of you, wherever you are. Know that you are in my prayers and that the JC Prayer Warriors are praying with you.
p.s. Bob, loved, LOVED, reading Hannah's prayers! Sassy Mom: your prayer is mine (Open my eyes that I may see); dear Maplewood, ('Open my heart to your grace.') - dear CO - the times I've put on the face for others. God sees it and will help you make that a REALITY! purplemartin - sometimes 'pretending' makes it a reality. Praying for your 'internal battle' with grief. While I haven't lived it, as you have, I have compassion b/c I feared it at times with what we've faced. FEAR: False Evidence Appearing Real...continue to praise Him with all of your heart. His Love, Mercy and Grace, will set you (us) free.
Wow, Norah, so inspiring all the way around! Thank you for sharing. I will say special prayers for you and your husband tonight. I'm certain your children see (SEE) the love and commitment. God bless you. CO

Delete"For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.”...and for this I am so grateful. Having the comfort of knowing that God is always here for me has truly helped me with my struggles of inadequacy and guilt...whether from grave past mistakes of 20 years ago creeping into my thoughts or from daily "slip-ups" where I allow my fatigue from the work day overtake me and I am grouchy to my spouse simply because I'm tired and hungry. I feel as though the devil waits for that window of weakness...from the thoughts of years ago or the daily fatigue after being "on" all day doing my best to do a good job and pour encouragement and positivity to the people I interact with. But knowing God is there with open arms to wrap me up mistakes and all makes me feel so very comforted and loved because He knows ALL of me and loves me anyway. (Didn't mean to ramble on. Apologies. Just feeling so grateful for His love.)
ReplyDeleteContinued prayers for MadFox, Maplewood, and for all who need them in this awesome JC family and their family members. Grateful for this site and all of you! Have a blessed day and may we all feel God's loving arms around us! Be well!
NJs - I do think our weakness makes us vulnerable sometimes, but God is with us in our weakness. You are seeking the right place! Thank you for sharing your heart here. Praying for you and your family.
DeleteAmen 🙏.
DeleteI often experience a rabbit hole of negative thoughts when I let my God guard down and the devil attacks my vulnerability. The MAIN reason to turn to Scripture and prayer and Jesus's name continually. Thank you Lord for making me stronger in this way.
DeleteNJS, no apologies needed here. Thank you for pouring out your heart. The Lord will transform our weaknesses into strengths. Praying you feel His peace envelop you. God is with you always.
DeleteBlessings from California
Dear NJS, Always in my prayers. I believe the enemy tries to trip us up when we are weary and leaning more on our emotions than our spirit. We know that God is so much greater than he that is in the world.
DeleteRamble on anytime. We love you and we are all imperfect and flawed. But our great God loves us just the way we are and He is there even as we are being tempted to lose our peace. Hold onto it above all and always look for His light and strength to lift you out of the hard times.
NJS, I not only loved your 'ramble,' but at one point, thought, 'when did I write this?' HA HA!!! It could have been me. I love that we can share hearts and boost each other and pray for each other. <3 Your heart is so sweet, NJS - well - ALL of you !! Whether we are rejoicing over returned kitties (remember when my neighbor's dog was missing years ago and then she came home? O, what rejoicing!' That's what makes us family.
DeleteNJS I can earnestly relater to "God is always here for me has truly helped me with my struggles of inadequacy and guilt...whether from grave past mistakes of 20 years ago creeping into my thoughts or from daily "slip-ups" where I allow my fatigue from the work day overtake me." Iam retired but have a full-time job with constant overtime. I care for my 17 year old (autistic so I don't face all the teenager challenges). I'm also raising 2 grandchildren. I give my all to the point I don't have anything left to give. My pour husband gets the remainder. When I'm exhausted the feelings of inadequacy flood over me and I wonder why God has blessed me with raising more children. Then I go to bed wake up the next morning with renewed strength and a fresh Outlook because of the Holy Spirit. Then I walk through my day constantly asking Jesus for help and knowing that I can do it because if he gives us a job to do he equips us for that task.
ReplyDeleteYou were not rambling. It's a blessing to read how living a Christian life by abiding in Christ plays out in others day-to-day lives.
Praying for all the JC Family for God to step into every situation, every need, every desire of your hearts to accomplish it according to his perfect will. Be blessed in your coming in and your going out.
I would like to add 2 prayer requests. My husband is a type 2 diabetic. He hasn't been having problems for a few years and wasn't checking his sugar levels. He wasn't feeling well and was having vision problems. He checked his sugar levels 2 nights ago and it was 560. He didn't tell me until the next morning and it was 485. He let me call his doctor and he said to take him to the E.R. They gave him an insulin shot and sent him home. He hadn't eaten all day and the day before he only had a total of 8 carbs. He's afraid to eat and his numbers shoot back up.
My other prayer request is for my friend Debbie who is driving across country alone to be at her sons wedding. She is a God fearing woman who tries to listen to God's leading in everything in her life. In my phone I have her as Debbie Psalmist (at the time I didn't know her last name but this fits her perfect) My prayer focus is on health, safety, her husband and her desire is to be able to talk to at least 1 person each day about Jesus and his amazing love for him. Thank you JC prayer warriors your prayers mean a lot to me.
Brie I still have my "Joy" alarm set. I have to say I miss some but I try to make up for it when I have the time.
Amen Terri, it's all about trusting that He has equipped us to do His will. Help us, Lord.

JC Warriors, please continued prayers for my unemployment issue. It's been compounded and they say I need to speak with the customer service center (I haven't been able to get through since I started trying in December). I know that they are very busy and it makes me somewhat feel like I'm bothering them. The lady I spoke with last week told me that I had to go online and file a new claim (it didn't make sense to me, but I don't really know how it works), so I did. Only now that's not what I needed to do. I needed to file an extension on my existing extension. So, needless to say, now it's even more confusing and messed up than it was, not to mention that I haven't received any money since December 2. All of your prayers are most appreciated. Thank you all in advance. I know that the Lord is always going to take the best care of me. I trust You Jesus and thank You 🙏 🙌.
ReplyDeletePraying for you Janet, for clarity and speed in navigating the system that will bring you financial relief. It can be so frustrating to get problems solved in this day and age, may you be covered in peace along the way, I pray, in Jesus's name.
DeleteMy Husband is having the same issues, Janet. The systems keep circling him into filing a new claim every week, without accepting his job searches and without paying him since before Christmas. I am praying for God's resolution for both of you and all JC Warriors and their dear ones who may be in this boat. LORD SAVE US. WE ARE SINKING! and the systems are making us dizzy! Amen.

There is no darkness at all in Him, and in Him we are made blameless and pure, but to be worthy of that gift, we must do our best to live to please Him and reflect that we are changed and filled with His light. We are imperfect in our humanity, so it takes a conscious effort to stay in His grace and favor. He is a discerner of hearts and understands that and just loves us with all our flaws and brokenness.
DeleteAdopting your prayer, Mark!
ReplyDeleteJC family Prayer Warriors, please join me in lifting up my Aunt Bertha to the Throne of Grace. She was admitted to the hospital last night where she's receiving care and treatment. It appears that she has suffered another stroke. This is the second (possibly third) in less than a month. Drs have ordered an MRI to confirm. Praying the Lord be with the doctors and nurses caring for her. I received a call from her last night. She wasn't feeling well, but is able to speak. Praise God! It was so uplifting to hear her voice. Praying to our Lord, the Great Healer, for a full and complete recovery in Jesus name. God is good!
ReplyDeleteLifting up all prayer requests and petitions from the JC family to the Lord, our God. Blessings upon blessings to all of you.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 for Aunt Bertha and her family.
DeleteRose - Echoing prayers for Aunt Martha and loved ones.
DeletePraying now for Aunt Bertha. Thank you Lord for taking care of your children and guiding the doctors and nurses to do what is needed to help and heal their patients, Aunt Bertha being one of them. Thank you for putting your healing hands on her and all who are suffering from any disease. We trust you Lord. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
DeleteBlessings from France
Joining in all prayers for your Aunt Bertha and all those suffering from heart conditions. God is with her and all of you and He is the greatest Physician,
DeleteThank you Father for healing her weaknesses and bringing her back to good health, and thank you for our answered prayers. We love you and thank you for Your faithfulness and all our blessings! Amen
Praying for Aunt Bertha to be lifted up in the Lord's healing hands and comforted in His arms. Grant Rose and her family strength and peace in knowing You are with them. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏.

ReplyDeleteFellowship’s Prayer For Peace
O God, I pray today for those who share faith, as well as those who hold other beliefs, that we may join in love and understanding to promote peace between all people ... regardless of race, creed, color, or political affiliation.

Please let there be Your Peace on Earth and in our nation ... and let it begin with me and all of us who pray together today and everyday in Fellowship. Thank You, God! ~Amen
Amen Brie!

DeleteNorah - Continuing prayers for your husband and loved ones.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sassy Mom, Janet, Jeanne, and all of you praying for my Dear Hub. He is doing better - it comes and goes, but we are celebrating his Birthday with Chicken Pot Pie - a far cry from the Steak Dinner I had planned for him, but if it sounds good - that's what we're eating! :) It has been a pleasant, low-key day. I took most of it off - just needed a break from the mayhem. You can imagine what a Congressional Office is like right now! It's bedlam. The phones are ringing off the hook; people are mad, sad, disappointed, elated, thankful, - all over the place!! They are SO upset and I try to calm them down, let them know we want to hear their opinions, but even that doesn't console all of them. For some, there is no consolation, as was my call last night for almost an hour with my Chief of Staff and this horribly upset man (who sounded like a woman - so I doubly insulted him/her when I called him, ma'am. UGH!!!). But, we ended the call. I was only in tears 4 x's yesterday and 3 of them where for good, sweet reasons. A 26 yr old (now) student of my hub's wrote an article in our paper about the 'Love of Grandparents.' We welcomed her into our lives (again) and said we were always looking for more Grandkids! There is nothing like a young person (whether they are related or not), to remind you that you are valued and remembered. And, what did we read, just today? "Remember that your relationship with Me is saturated in grace. Therefore, nothing that you do or don't do can separate you from My presence." We are saturated in GRACE! My sweet hub has (gratefully) eaten his chicken pot pie and buttered bread. He enjoyed the Cherry Pie and Ice Cream from his Big Boy lunch. He is a happy camper! And that is all that matters to me. Thank you again, for all of your prayers - please, keep them coming! All of you are in mine, as well!
ReplyDeleteAmen and Hallelujah Norah 🙌 🙏. And happy birthday to your husband. Whether you're eating pot pie, steak, or pb & j, as long as you're together, that's what makes it so wonderful. God bless you 🙏.
DeleteThat's wonderful. More answered prayers. Chicken Pot Pie sounds pretty yummy! Happy Birthday to your dear Hubby! Glad the day went well. You can only do the best you can on those calls. Amen, always good to be reminded that you're valued and remembered. Yes, our relationship with the Lord is saturated in GRACE! So glad he enjoyed the cherry pie and ice cream. That was a good Birthday celebration. Sure will keep those prayers coming dear Sister.

DeleteThank You that my feelings of inadequacy cannot separate me from Your Presence. Amen.
Some days are just like that with tech. Turn the device off and on again, unplug, or log out and back in. If all else fails, out it away and try in the morning😉. Casting the demons trying to interrupt your involvement here off to the lake of fire baby!
DeleteBrie. I've been in business with heavy use of PC's, mobile phones, and web/e-commerce for decades. It never ceases to amaze me, the gremlins that will cause issues that others can't duplicate or when IT shows up, the system, software, or device will work correctly!
DeleteI got so tired of losing posts here that, in general, I write it elsewhere and then copy/paste/post. Replies to posts usually, like now, directly, but even then I've lost a few and then have to retype the thought.
I've deleted the previous functional posts which is one drawback here (blogger) that we can't privately message like many forums or blogs. I'm working on an idea for that, and will discuss with Chris at some point. Glad you found delete! Some things in life need to be deleted: diseases, evil, bad thinking, Satan and his influence, most, if not all current politicians (term limits?!), etc. Peace and Grace. In Him.
Can you get us a delete key for diseases, evil, bad thinking, Satan and his influence, and most, if not all of satan's current politicians, beginning with those who have unlimited terms? Wouldn't it be nice...
DeleteThanks Madfox, On Payton Place's JC Calling Blogspot, I prefer the openness and inclusivity of a totally open forum rather than the exclusion inherent with Private Messaging. We all draw so much of God's strength from one another, see His road of life through the journey of others, find His Answers and Healings in United prayer with those who post and pray, and those who don't post but pray anyway. Praying that the Holy Spirit Leads us to His thoughts. A blog divided may not be able to stand the test of time as this one has. IJS!
DeleteThanks for all you do and all you share. It is appreciated.
I agree. But there are issues where we could have had your blogging delete messages in private... but I like the openness as well as a blog is more a train of thought and not like some forums where it is a debate. However one big drawback here is the most recent comments are at the bottom, new readers may see and think that the blog is dead since new stuff can now be 100 comments down. Bob has mentioned also hard to find posts as no search function can take you directly to a post on a topic or by a person. Again not a problem just reality.
DeleteI have been having a lot of trouble posting lately too. But I just try, try again. Dear Brie, You are so worthy and values and so very loved!
ReplyDeleteGood advice Audra! That's just what I did. Turned it off and then tried again. God is at our side and that's all the help we need.
Keeping you all in my prayers. Have a BLESSED WEEKEND.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Jeanne. The bless you as well💕
DeleteOops, "the Lord".
DeleteThanks for the blessing sweet Jan!
DeleteThank You Jesus. Praise God always.
ReplyDeleteAnd you as well, Jeanne. Traveling mercies for all of us on the move this weekend 🙏
ReplyDeleteThanks dear Audra! Your prayers helped get me here safely. Enjoying precious time with my Mom! Praying for you and Marc and Paul.
DeleteAmen. May God keep all those traveling safe and protected from the virus. Thank You Jesus.
JC: "Let Me bless you with My Grace and Peace... Remember that your relationship with Me is saturated in grace."
ReplyDeleteBlessings and Grace, even more so, His Peace. As the omicron variant of CV-19 rages, and thankfully for most, it is mild. I'm reminded that God has been with us throughout. There are natural law consequences to man's folly, and the global community has been paying a price for it for centuries. This too shall pass, but what permanent changes to society will result?
This week some final tests and labs showed a secondary issue for me to deal with. Thankfully this long-time, but newly discovered issue will be mostly a nuisance; however, uncovering it, sheds light on why some side effects persisted and may not be able to be completely eliminated with chemo tweaks. Regardless, His grace and mercy, of this being manageable, are such a blessing. Thanks for your prayers, it is quite humbling to read so many, as we all lap last year's posts on the pandemic as well! Godspeed, in Him, Amen.
May our heavenly Father bless you and keep you close in His heart as His healing touch takes your afflictions away. God bless 🙏.
DeleteMadfox I pray that Gods continues to watch over you🙏
DeleteJoining in prayer & thanksgiving for what has been discovered, MadFox. God is good & looking after every detail of your journey to complete healing. Amen! Hallelujah!
DeleteContinued prayers for you, MadFox. God knows every hair on your head - no surprises for Him, who loves you so. Praying for your continued Peace.
DeletePraying for full health and healing in every way, Madfox!
DeleteJoining into all prayers for you our Madfox, and for all our JC sisters and brothers in Christ. May all be blessed and healed in Jesus' Name. Amen.
DeleteNavigating through life with all its challenges, new discoveries, health issues and the like is a journey in which we have a A GUIDE. And we thank and pray for the peace that comes from recognizing and following HIM. That right there is something I am learning from the posts in this blog, many ones from your experiences, Mad 🦊, are the greatest observations. 🙏♥️
DeleteNo matter the issue, i’m continuing to pray that God is already on it. Joining all prayers with thanksgiving that He is strengthening every weaknesses in your body which He created! He knows you through and through and you are His beloved child. Hold onto His Unchanging Hand and go forward into the future He has prepared for you. Much love.
DeleteAmen dear Audra. Following His lead day by day.
Father, please open my heart and mind to receive all that You have for me. Open my eyes to see all Your beauty and miracles in the world all around me. Let Your heavenly, loving presence permeate within me and all around me. Allow Your perfect peace and grace to flow abundantly through me and spill over unto others. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen. Thank You Jesus. Praise God always.

ReplyDeleteToday is my DH's 78th birthday! We have dinner plans (here at home) with 2 friends this evening and the whole family on Sunday. He was a little sniffly last night and I am praying that it's change of weather and nothing more. Reading last years' post reminds me, that we will celebrate, regardless. If the plans have to change, the 2 of us will celebrate. It's funny to me - when I ordered my Click List at the store, I got chicken pot pies to put in the freezer. That's what we ended up having last year! LOL! God knows what will happen and I know we can be blessed, even if plans change.
ReplyDeleteLet not our hearts be discouraged, Father. Praying for your Peace and that we know this, too, shall pass.
Praying for each of you and that your needs are met and your hearts' desires fulfilled.
Happy blessed b'earthday, Norah's DH. You shall remain in my prayers.
DeleteHappy 78th Birthday to your darling husband! Hope and pray the sniffles go away and you’re able to celebrate with your 2 friends! God is guiding everything. Chicken Pot Pie sounds delicious too. You will be blessed no matter what!
DeleteHappy 78th birthday to your husband. Praying that you have a wonderful time together ❤ 🙏.
DeleteHappy 79th birthday to your DH, Norah! May the celebration be full off love and laughter.
DeleteLifting up all prayer requests to the Throne of Grace. The Lord, our God is bigger than any need we have.
ReplyDeleteHebrews 4:16 "Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."
Amen to that! Let Him reign in our hearts above all.
DeleteMay God examine our hearts , I know I need God to perform cleansing and restoration on my heart ❤️. Seek my heart Lord, reveal all the areas that disappoint You Father ! Make me willing to change , may I be obedient to Your disciplining , I know it will make me more like Jesus...I want to be more like Christ ....am done being in the driver's seat and going round in circles !
ReplyDeleteMe too, Min Ahadi! More and more releasing control and surrender to God brings on peace and let's me be the passenger and enjoy the ride.
DeleteAwesome Min! Give Him the wheel! Trust Him and enjoy the ride. Even if it gets bumpy He will lead us safely through.
DeleteI needed this today. As I prepare for the interview today today several of them. I thank God for the opportunity being unemployed for these last 4 months have been the hardest things I've ever had to do.God has blessed me so much with so much when I did not deserve it and I don't want to lose it all, but I know my God has a plan. My children and I will prosper he didn't bring me this far. To leave me.
ReplyDeleteDear Unknown! Amen! Trust Him to continue leading you to fulfillment and prosperity! He will provide your needs and light the path He has set before you. Believe the best is yet to come and remember His faithfulness. God bless you and your dear ones.
ReplyDeleteGreat devotion for everyone. God knows us through and through! He knows our innermost thoughts and dreams and goals and fears and our motives. We can tell Him anything because He always understands. We can bring Him all our concerns, problems and burdens. As long as we seek His help, we will receive it. It is better to trust God than man.
ReplyDeleteI was blessed yesterday because so many prayers were answered during my treatment! I wasn’t afraid because I had the Lord right by my side. My body tolerated the infusion with only mild side effects. My focus was on God and on my prayers for my dear ones and I believe I glorified God by my words and my trust in Him. So many of you prayed that all would go well because you trust in His Words and promises. I felt God’s presence and your prayers so there was no reason to be afraid. I had my armor on and I was well equipped in the Lord. Thank you so much for all the love, prayers and encouragement you gave me. Love you all. May God continue to bless you and your loved ones and answer your prayers. God allows the trials to test our faith and to make us strong in Him. May He always lead you in your wilderness: Thank You Jesus.
James 1:2-4
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be [b]perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
Yeah Jeanne! Thank you for the update. So thankful for a good outcome for you. Loved the way you used the WORD with Authority and witnessed to the medical staff. You brought Glory to our Lord. May the Lord's Grace and Mercy be all over you and give you rest and restoration. Sending bunches of Love and Blessings your way! JJ
DeleteSo glad to hear that your treatment went well and that God was glorified through you. May those things continue as you endure this time on your journey with Him. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏. God bless and peace be with you.
DeleteJeanne - so happy everything went well with your first infusion. Thank you for sharing this journey and your faith. I know all the medical people were blessed by your faith.
DeleteI love the verses from James that you shared. I’ve always loved them - especially when trials come.

Rejoicing with you dear sister that you did good. PTL from whom all blessings flow. Hallelujah! 💞🙏🌈
DeleteThanks dear JJ, Janet, SC, Jan and MadFox!
DeleteAmen! God has been so good to me. He keeps His promises and I have been in the Word and in His presence all morning while I packed up my Christmas decorations away even though I feel weak, I am filled with God’s strength. Going to take a nap after lunch. Praise His Holy Name forever! He is such a good and caring Father. The praise goes up and the blessings come down. God bless you all. Much love 💕
Well done, Jeanne. As Sarah writes today as JC, "Therefore, nothing that you do or don't do can separate you from My presence." He was with you as He promised and your and His light filled the rooms! May each treatment be easier, and your faith hold strong. Amen.
ReplyDeleteDear brother, Thank you for your help and advice always. We pray for each other. I believe each treatment will be easier and God is building me up physically, mentally and spiritually so I can serve Him better. This trial was part of His Plan. The best is yet to come. God bless you as you walk through your own, holding His Hand.
DeleteJC Warriors - asking for prayers that I do not have covid. I was exposed three days ago. Our kids have Monday off, so we were going to see my parents for a couple of days (5 hours away). They are in their 80’s and do not need covid. My dad said don’t worry - come we want to see you. If I have it, I probably won’t have symptoms for 2 more days. I will take a test before we leave, but I fear taking germs to my parents.

DeleteSC --- I just want to say that the weapons of warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God in pulling down strongholds. And so, I come against this covid exposure and I cast it down and anything of the enemy and forbid it to operate in your territory. It will fall to the ground broken and of NO effect. I Plead the Blood of Jesus over your whole family. I thank you Heavenly Father that You hear my prayer and You watch over Your WORD to perform it. In Jesus's name, AMEN and AMEN.
DeleteAmen! Agreeing with you JJ, and praying for SC and the family.
DeleteAmen! All will be WELL, SC!
DeleteAmen JJ! Joining in your prayer for our dear SC that she will not be carrying any Covid germs with her, only love to her good parents. God is greater than a covid exposure and He already knows what she needs. He is already on it.
DeleteThank You Father for showing Your faithfulness to dear SC in Jesus' Name we pray. Amen.
Dear Peter --- Loved the explanation of Grace --- God's Riches of Christ's Expense. That went deep into my spirit! Thank you Peter, great post. JJ
ReplyDeleteThank you for explaining what Grace is. Unmerited, undeserved, unearned favor from God, made available to us by and through the redemptive work of His Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. “Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ”(John 1: ?) Thank God for the New Covenant of Grace He has made with us, sealed by the blood of Jesus Christ! Having been redeemed by the blood, reconciled to God, adopted into God’s family as His children, we now enjoy peace with God and GRACE that abounds and never runs out. God deals with us in and with Grace; not seeing our unworthiness, our failings, our sins, but seeing the imputed perfect righteousness of Christ upon us! Hallelujah! As the redeemed, God has made us and sees us at all times as “holy, blameless, righteous” (Ephesians 1); thus, without earning or deserving His grace (blessings, favor, forgiveness, healing, health, provisions, protection, eternity with Hom, etc), He gives it freely to us. We ask in Jesus’ Name and we receive - by GRACE! Hallelujah! I didn’t understand all this till I listened to Joseph Prince and read his books Grace Revolution and Destined to Reign. That’s a sound and anointed Grace preacher! Loves Jesus n exalts Him constantly in all his sermons. I never experienced REST in my soul till I understood Grace through Christ Jesus! Jesus did all the work for us! We simply receive and believe in Him, abide in Him and let His words abide in us - and so we bear fruit and become like Him, from glory to glory!
ReplyDeleteI'm so blessed to hear your report, Dear Jeanne!! Continued Peace, Health and GREAT results to you, my Sister. Love and prayers to all of you. Getting ready for the Store Run to celebrate my Best Man's 79th BD! What a blessing to be doing this today. Family and friends will help him celebrate. "Keep me calm, Lord and in balance so I can give my hubby the best celebration, yet!" This is our 49th celebration of his Birthday together. How quickly those years have flown by. I am a blessed woman and thankful for each of you and your prayers, sharing and teaching me along the way.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your DH! 79 years Young! Have a blessed and happy celebration. God will be leading it all, so enjoy the ride! You two have been a loving couple for 49 years!

DeleteWonderful teaching and good food to savor. By the undeserved Grace of God we are truly saved and blessed beyond human understanding. Hallelujah! Amen and thank you dear Peter. You added much light to my day and to my heart.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Anonymous for your wonderful response to Peter because your spirit guided words and truth blessed me so much. Hallelujah! We reap so much just by receiving and believing in Him through God's gift of Grace. I'll have to listen to Joseph Prince and check out his books. God bless you in every little thing.
