There is no place so desolate that you cannot find Me there. When Hagar fled from her mistress, Sarah, into the wilderness, she thought she was utterly alone and forsaken. But Hagar encountered Me in that desolate place. There she addressed Me as the Living One who sees me. Through that encounter with My Presence, she gained courage to return to her mistress.
No act of circumstances could ever isolate you from My loving Presence. Not only do I see you always; I see you as a redeemed saint, gloriously radiant in My righteousness. That is why I take great delight in you and rejoice over you with singing!
Genesis 16:7-14
Amplified
But the Angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness on the road to Shur. And
He said, Hagar, Sarai’s maid, where did you come from, and where are
you intending to go? And she said, I am running away from my mistress
Sarai. The Angel of the Lord said to her, Go back to your mistress and [humbly] submit to her control. Also
the Angel of the Lord said to her, I will multiply your descendants
exceedingly, so that they shall not be numbered for multitude. And
the Angel of the Lord continued, See now, you are with child and shall
bear a son, and shall call his name Ishmael [God hears], because the
Lord has heard and paid attention to your affliction. And he [Ishmael] will be as a wild ass among men; his hand will be against every man and every man’s hand against him, and he will live to the east and on the borders of all his kinsmen. So
she called the name of the Lord Who spoke to her, You are a God of
seeing, for she said, Have I [not] even here [in the wilderness] looked
upon Him Who sees me [and lived]? Or have I here also seen [the future purposes or designs of] Him Who sees me? Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi [A well to the Living One Who sees me]; it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Psalm 139:7-10
English Standard Version
7 Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where shall I flee from your presence?
8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
9 If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me.
Or where shall I flee from your presence?
8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
9 If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me.
Zephaniah 3:17
English Standard Version
The Lord your God is in your midst,
a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.

DeleteWe ask this in Jesus'name.
And to this prayer we add gratitude for the safety of all His children in these difficult times from whatever challenges they face.

DeleteIn the darkest moments of life, our Father is with us. In a prison cell, the Lord met me there, and called me His Child. Thank you, Lord for forgiveness and Your constant love. We praise an thank you for the hills and valleys, as God will see us through this life.

Deletethank you God for all our blessing we receive each and every day..amen
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing to read of all of the victories taking place; all of the hearts turning to God, asking forgiveness, claiming release from worry, doubt, fear, addiction! As Suzanne said, "we all make mistakes on a daily basis..." Our prayer, every morning, every day is to be our best for God and to seek His Word and claim our Lord and Saviors victory as ours.
ReplyDeleteI lift this day to You, Father and thank you in the name of Jesus Christ for victory in all that we do. Be with me in my casework - the unknown territory that I will encounter today. Let me put myself in their shoes and fight for the RIGHT answers as if I were seeking it for myself. You know the needs and wants of Your people and you have given us the power to claim the desired results. The Mystery was revealed that it is God in Christ in us, the Hope of Glory. Had the adversary known, our Savior never would have been crucified. Now, it's not just one man called by God but millions! Let us all realize the power we have, granted by God, and step out on that matchless Word KNOWING that what He promises, He delivers.
Praying for each of you and all of my loved ones as they travel, celebrate anniversaries and birthdays and this long, lovely weekend. I'm so very thankful for each of you and this lovely site that brought us all together. TGIF - who taught us to realize, Thank God I'm Forgiven?! Can't remember, but I think of it often. God Bless JC Family - mighty Prayer Warriors.
ReplyDeleteOur Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen.
Thank You Heavenly Father.
Good morning Lord and JC family. Psalm 139 so appropriate for today. Our little Jairo comes home today. Thank you Lord for holding our little one in your hands and breathing your spirit on him. Now it's our turn and we trust that you will be with us guiding us. I pray for my JC family; pour your amazing grace over them and keep them safe during this long weekend. Come Holy spirit.
ReplyDeleteBlessings. Continued prayers for your little miracle.

ReplyDeleteMind blowing and I am so THANKFUL to HIM!
This morning, I Thank God I'm Forgiven! I'm also blessed to be given a fresh new day, a fresh new life, fresh new hope and fresh new mercy. Father, I THANK YOU!
My JC Family, as we prepare to connect from August to September this last week day, so shall you always be connected to your divine provisions, divinely guided and strategically positioned for God's visitations and manifestations in the coming fresh new month.
I commend you to Him who is ever faithful and kind to fulfill His promises even beyond our imaginations.
To Him be all glory and honor.
Have a great day ahead & remain blessed!!
Maplewood NJ
Thanks dear Maplewood! Amen He truly is the Living One who sees us. The only One who knows our hearts intimately. Praying we continue to seek His face every day and listen to His small sweet voice. The Spirit is moving in all of us. Let us reflect His light, peace and love to all those we meet today. Even in difficult days when we feel so broken, His light shines through the cracks. Amen! To Him be all glory and honor.
DeleteHave a blessed day Sister, and all our JC Family!
Please pray for Janie. A few months ago she was preparing to mow her son's yard. The mower rolled off the truck bed, hit her in the face, fractured her front teeth. Much pain. 2 days ago she had her upper teeth pulled and implants. She is returning to dentist today, her bite is messed up. Thank you for praying.
ReplyDeleteSpecial prayers for Janie, Sassy Mom! CO
DeleteJoining JC WARRIORS in prayer for Janie. Lord, please touch Janie's face, mouth and teeth with Your healing hand. We give You all the praise, honor and glory for the healing!
DeleteWe lift Jan up to the Lord and pray for complete healing.
DeleteJoining in Min Ahadi's prayer that Janie is doing very well now and God has guided her to all the help she needed to bring her back to perfect health and comfort. Thank You Jesus!
DeleteI can see Janie's smile and give God all the glory!
DeleteThank you again, JC Family, for your posts! I'm inspired and uplifted each day as I read the devotion, bible passages and your posts. I am continually reminded I am not alone, which is a wonderful feeling. My life struggles are still in full swing, but I feel so much hope here. I have gotten very low, but absolutely know God sees me where I am, no matter the circumstance. He is working in and around me even when I don't realize it in that moment. A friend gave me the JC book a few years ago because it was apparent I was hurting. I found this site for much the same reason. I realize now both were blessings and answers to prayers. Thank you Jesus for always being there!
ReplyDeleteI tend to withdraw and isolate myself when I am overwhelmed, but I am realizing now God still sees me and sees me in a state I can't even image..."a redeemed saint, gloriously radiant in My righteousness." Amen. All glory and thanks be to You, my God!
I'm uplifting all on here in Prayer today! Some special prayers for your safety in Florida. Praying for your difficult job to go as it should. Prayers for anyone traveling during the long weekend. Prayers of thanksgiving for little Jairo being released to come home! Praying for those in the midst of struggles of addiction. Praying for those on this site who bring me peace, joy and hope each day! And praying for those who read the posts each day and don't post anything, but walk away with hope and prayers in their hearts. I like seeing a new meaning for TGIF; a great reminder.
Still a powerful testimony and message 4 yrs later Anonymous!
DeleteAmen...from CO
ReplyDeleteAnonymous --- So grateful for your prayers. Keep them coming! I think about that scripture that says if two or more are gathered in my name..... There is a multitude gathered here in the name of Jesus!!! We are standing on holy ground and there are angels all around!!!
Deleteagain, thank God for this site and for all your prayers. I continue to battle with the Demons of addiction. My brain is starting to clear up but my body is weak. I have not picked up drink or drug. I am praying frequently throughout the day. And I am trying to have an attitude of gratitude. Thank you JC Warriors. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
ReplyDeleteGood morning z,
DeleteCan you give us a Praise Report or a Prayer Request? Blessings to you and our entire JC Family. Amen.
Thank God for miracles, please pray for Mandy and family!!!
ReplyDeleteContinuing prayers for Zfuntastic, Mandy and family. The Lord is faithful watching over His Word to perform it!
DeleteDear JC Family, Be blessed in your worship this day, be it in person or online. May you be lifted to a level in which God becomes more real to you than you have ever experienced. I have prayed for your worship. Be blessed.
ReplyDeleteAmen. Thank you Bob.
DeleteThanks Bob, I got snagged by a reading from Roman's 12, at today's TV Mass which said: Instead of conforming yourselves to this age, be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the Will of God? What is Good to Him? What is Pleasing to Him? What is Perfect to Him?
DeletePlease pray for me to encounter The Answers from our Lord Jesus Christ. I ask. I pray. I thank. Amen
I am having difficulty with today's JC verse, Genesis 16: A servant girl being given to Abram, an 86 year old man who sleeps with her and impregnates her and then gives his wife Sarai permission to punish the girl as Sarai sees fit. So Sarai beat her. Please pray for me to encounter The Answers from our Lord Jesus Christ. I ask. I pray. I thank. Amen
DeleteI’ll offer some thoughts, Brie, and try to keep it short. The prevailing thought of that time is that a man’s heritage must be perpetuated. Therefore if a couple had no children (it was believed a problem with the woman), the wife would offer a maid servant to her husband through whom he could father a child. Times have changed but human emotions have always been the same. Jealousy easily entered in and thus the reaction of Sarai causing Hagar to flee for her safety. God was with Hagar and because she was carrying Abram’s seed, God’s chosen one, to whom God made a promise of a great nation, God required Hagar to return to an unsafe & uncomfortable situation. Even though the child Hagar bore to Abram & Sarai was not the one through whom God intended to fulfill His promise, God would respect Abram’s seed. (It is believed Hagar’s child, Ishmael, was the line from which the Islam faith developed.) The failure of Abram & Sarai was that they did not wait on the Lord to fulfill His promise. Instead they took their own initiative to bring about what God had promised, something that can easily still happen today. This may not be a perfect answer but it is an attempt to answer some questions that are indeed complicated. I hope it helps. God be with you.
DeleteThanks Bob. I'll contemplate on this.
DeleteBy God, I think she finally got it! Dear Heavenly Father God, would You hide my life in Yours and carry me along in patience, trust and steady growth, before my ego attempts to hurry and do works on its own, and in that respect, be much like Abram and Sarai? Instead of beating Hagar, I often beat my own head against the goad. Lord forgive us all. Thanks for You patience with the slow learners. Amen.
DeleteThank you Bob. With all the packing for the trip I have needed Him more than ever. Finished the picture of Gabriel just in time for vacation and I'm so thankful. Praise Him always for His lovingkindness and faithfulness! I always get wrapped in my responsibilities but my Lord is with me through it all.
DeleteAmen dear Brie! I sure can relate! I just need to tune to Him in my busy times. Jesus, Remind me of Your Presence!
Bob, I love this answer and Brie for your honesty which brought about this answer! ❤️❤️❤️
DeleteAmen Bob, That story about is about waiting for God to bring about the desires of our heart instead of trying to solve problems ourselves. We must remember He knows the future and what is best for us. I always relate to when Hagar was in the wilderness and God was so kind and loving to call her back and to comfort her heart. He does the same for us when we lose our way. We just have to wait on Him and His plan will be revealed. Good for this uncertain time!
DeleteThanks for the question Brie... when you read the Bible some things sound strange! Thanks Bob for explaining and we pray that the Holy spirit will help us understand further
DeleteThanks again BOB. Your reply has carried me through the last 4 years, and still allowed me to see how being so quick to misjudge Sarai, I didn't see eye to I with me myself and I. Just Like Sarai, many times my impatience leads me to take matters into my own hands rather than wait on (read: trust in ) the Lord. I've heard it said, THE EYE CANNOT SEE ITSELF, except through what it sees in other people. Their mirrors give me a mirroraculous view of me, because their mirrors reflect my image, and what I need to change in me. Very uncomfortable and squirmy for me at times, especially hearing my Heavenly Mom saying,
DeleteIt doesn't look any better on you than it does on them!
OUCH!
Your reply, BOB, still gives me cause to pause and admit when I am being Sarai. Thanks Be To God for all His Good that comes through you, and through our entire and super awesome JC Family.
I don't leave home without them 😊 Much Gratitude. In Jesus' Name. AMEN!
Hagar (Brie) encountered Me in that desolate (character traits I see and dislike in other people) place . There she addressed Me as the Living One who sees (God revealing to me that same character trait in me) me. Through that encounter with My Presence, (accepting the character traits that I see in others, as a mirror image of my own) she gained courage to return (revisit my view of needing to change me, rather than others) to her mistress (the character trait that blinded me to me).
DeleteThe names have been changed (to Hagar and Sarai) to protect the innocent (you and me)!
Not sure whether or not I hit or missed the mark, but I'll let you know next year! Your sister in Christ, Brie, aka Hagar/Sarai 😊
May they rest in peace in a judgment free zone! In Jesus' Name. AMEN!
Thank You for always being with us Lord. We depend on You for everything, including our very next breath. Father, bless us and keep us close to You. Thank You Jesus. I will bless, praise, and rejoice in the Lord continually and always. Amen.
ReplyDeleteBlessings of joy and healing to each person reading. God is good and gracious and He loves you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ellen, may your blessings of joy and healing pick up steam as it goes around our ever widening prayer circle and returns to you multiplied by Jesus. Amen.
DeleteJoining in your sweet prayer dear Janet!
DeleteThanks Ellen for those blessings of joy and healing! Amen! He is such a good God, gracious and so kind.
Please pray for Louie my former Pastor where my husband Richard was an Elder, he and I were members for 25 years before he passed away. Louie has been diagnosed with colon cancer and will have surgery September 2. Louie preached a message entitled "What's the worse that can happen?" and revealed his diagnosis to his congregation at the end of his message and asked for prayers. Thank you for praying.
ReplyDeleteLouie will be in my prayers, Sassy Mom. God Bless each of you, Dear JC Family. Prayers for you, Fern (so glad you shared your requests with us), rejoicing with you Janet and as Brie said, steering prayers toward the right eye now! Happy Anniversary Jeanne - a day late. And Maplewood!! Celebrating Janet's release from the hospital!!
DeleteThank you, Bob, Ellen and Janet for praying for our lovely day - ours with family and fellowship.

DeletePrayers going up for Louie and a successful surgery and recovery in Jesus name. Amen.

DeleteThank you God for Louie ! Father please touch his body and make him whole again ! No more discomfort, no more pain may he be at peace!
DeleteContinuing to pray for Pastor Louie. Thank You for your faithfulness and healing. Amen!
DeleteDear Faithful praying warriors, THANK YOU for your prayers. PTL, I am happy to announce Pastor Louie is cancer free and preaching every Sunday.
DeleteBlessings from France - are you okay?
ReplyDeleteI'm okay dear GraceTakesTime thank you for asking. It touched me that you asked about me. How sweet.
DeleteI know I haven't been posting as much as I used to these days but I have been reading everyone's posts and praying for you all.
To be honest I wasn't feeling that good the past couple days. Some circumstances had me worrying and it was hard to feel His peace and joy. Thank God I'm feeling better today after a day spent with my family.
Be blessed!
Blessings from France
I sensed something was going on BFF. So I decided to fix you a luncheon serving of Philippians 4.
DeleteAppetizer: Be anxious for nothing.
Soup: Pray about everything.
Salad: Tell God all your needs.
Main Course: Remember to thank God for all His Answers.
Side1: You will experience God's Peace.

Thank you so much sweet Brie! It was a delicious luncheon as Philippians 4 is always a good choice! Your post and Armor song (and those French words) blessed me and put a smile on my face. Thanking God for your sweet soul. May He bless you abundantly.
DeleteBlessings from France
So glad to receive a word from you, mom ami. I, too, was becoming concerned about you. Your posts are such a blessing but I also understand the need to take a break for renewal, especially after those wonderful posts on the Armor of God. Leave it to Brie to provide some quality sustenance for you. If I can be of any help, feel free to email me (bob@malsack.com). God be with you.
DeleteThank you so much Bob! It is such a blessing to be here with you all and your posts warm my heart. I can feel God's love through them all. I'm so thankful.
DeleteBlessings from France
Glad you're okay BFF! Hope all those worries are fading and you are feeling God's peace surrounding you. God bless you always and give you rest.
DeleteDear Heavenly Father, Thank You for this last day of the month and for all the Victories and tests you set before me. I stand in awe of Your goodness, mercy and grace. Thank You! I pray over any circumstances I may face now or tomorrow. I pray You will give me peace about what I can’t change and the wisdom to change the things I can. I’m asking You to reach into my life and do Your will. Your grace is sufficient me. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
ReplyDeleteJust like Hager, many of us have been faced with different situations out of our control, that leave us in a state of paralysis. When you know that God knows and see what you are going through, but you still want to pray but can’t find the words to say, this is where H.E.L.P from the scripture in Psalms comes in handy, as in Praying the Psalms for God's HELP:
H - "Hear me Lord and answer me for I am poor and needy." Psalm 86:1
When you take the first step to let God know that you need Him and absolutely want His help.
E - "Establish my steps in your word." Psalm 119:133
When you know you can’t do it on your own, you turn to God for His direction and for strength to stand firm in His promises.
L - "Let your compassion quickly meet our needs because we are on the brink of despair." Psalm 79:8
When you are drowning in your circumstance, you reach out and ask God to help you focus on His compassion and grace to lift you out of your despair and pain.
P - "Protect me God because I take refuge in You. I say to the Lord, You are my Lord, apart from You I have nothing good." Psalm 16:1
When you know He’s your only covering, run to your Jehovah Jireh/Jehovah Raah (Protector and Provider). Seek refuge and lean on God, not your own strength or abilities. He promises to be your refuge if you will let Him!
Dear Father, You say that we do not need to be afraid or dismayed because you are our God and You are with us. Help us to know Your presence in the midst of our circumstances and draw strength from You. We submit our prayer in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Blessings and Peace.

DeleteDear JC Family. I am a follower for many years now and appreciate all of the guidance, encouragement and enlightenment I have received by following this site. I feel as though I know you all so well. Thank you Chris for your continued service to our Lord in managing this site for all to benefit. I am finally posting today as I have an office mate and fellow believer, Mark, who is scheduled to have open heart surgery Monday noon. I know Jesus will be with him and the medical staff as he undergoes what will be a very lengthy procedure. I told him that I would be praying for him but ask if you all could lift up Mark for this upcoming procedure as well. This is not very eloquent but I suspect Jesus already knew that. Thank you all... Houston Aggie
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous Houston Aggie, Prayers are now being said for Mark and his entire Medical Team, and will continue until we get his Victory and Praise Report.
DeletePS. "Eloquent" is not required here! Prayer Requests and Praise Reports are! Thanks for posting. We love to pray and then watch our God work it out! He is truly our One and Only Waymaker, Miracle Worker, Promise Keeper, Light In The Darkness Who is always working. Whether or not we see, hear, or feel Him, He's still working, because He always is.

Thank you, Bob, Ellen and Janet for your prayers for today- mine will be spent attending mass online, my husband and I will be having lunch with our middle son, Mark, at his home and fixing a few things there that need repair. Thank you, Jesus, for watching over my children- Mark, Jay, Julie and Arabella here in California, and Justin in Oregon. I pray hedge of protection over them, my extended family, friends, and my JC Family. Praying for all the lost souls especially those that need you most, Father God, and are struggling with fear, anxiety, worry, doubt, addiction, financial problems, family strife, mental disorders, etc. Breathe Your Holy Spirit into them that they may know that You are God, the Great I Am! Thank you, Father, for Your faithfulness! I come before You humbled, thankful, and grateful for Your Mercy, Grace, and Peace that You, in Your infinite Wisdom, have found me worthy to receive. And I receive it gladly, with my whole heart. You are the Alpha and Omega, the one true God. All Glory, Honor and Praise are Yours, Lord! Thank you, Jesus! Praying, also, for those in the path of the hurricanes, the lives lost, and the families left behind to pick up the pieces. Comfort them, Father God, with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Praying for all prayer requests and petitions here in our JC Family. Looking forward to your Praise Reports! Remember, Victory is already ours in being with the Father. Wishing you all a beautiful Sunday.

ReplyDeletePsalm 139: If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, with all its waves, 10 even there Your Hand shall lead me, and Your Right Hand shall hold me.
ECCLESIASTES 4: 12
9 Two can accomplish more than twice as much as one, for the results can be much better. 10 If one falls, the other pulls him up; but if a man falls when he is alone, he’s in trouble. 11 Also, on a cold night, two under the same blanket gain warmth from each other, but how can one be warm alone? 12 And one standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer; three is even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.
My Prayer
Dear God our Heavenly Father,
As You know, sometimes our JC Family Members encounter waves that are too strong for one person. The wave cuts us short and knocks us over. When that happens, we join hands with You and all our JC Prayer Warrior Family Members, forming an unbroken line. When the stronger waves come, we jump together; The combined force and strength of our Prayer line withstands much stronger waves! Grabbing hands and forming a line with You and our JC Family Members allows us all to jump over even bigger waves and get through to the other side of triumphant, supporting each other both in the ocean and out.
Would you remind me that You are near and that helping another's boat across I find another boat reaching the shore. It's mine? And would you help me to continue joining forces with others when I encounter waves that confront me and are too great for me to jump alone? AND would you let me encounter those whom I can support at the same time? In Jesus' name I ask, I pray and I thank. Amen.
SO TRUE, Brie. Love and prayers for each of you and yours. Please continue to pray for my friend's Pop - that each of them have peace and continue to leave his needs with You, Father. So glad we know our future. My friend's Pop was given 3 weeks to 3 months - an unknown at this point. Her oldest son gets married 9/26. She's dealing with a lot. JC Prayer Warriers - so glad we aren't in this alone. We've been called to a Mighty Family and I'm ever so thankful.
DeleteAmen Brie and Norah! We join hands in prayer together and in Him we are made strong. In His promises we are comforted, and given healing and peace. In each other we find encouragment and as a family in Christ, we knock down the waves of adversity and sickness because we stand together on the Rock that never crumbles.
DeleteDear Norah, Praying for Pop because I believe in miracles Bless and comfort your dear friend as she copes with everything. May God wrap His loving arms around her and lift and heal her good husband. He can do all things! Resting in His faithfulness and mercy.
Amen lets join hands so stop being pushed over by the waves,....that is so reassuring ! Reaching out to anyone who needs there hands held today, we are lifting up all the needs in prayers .
Delete🖐️
DeleteAmen ladies! Because together we stand in prayer and will NOT be divided to fall (Matt. 12:22).
DeleteMaplewood NJ
Amen! Standing together on the Rock against any wave that tries to knock us down! He is our constant Stronghold and Refuge.
DeleteThanks again everyone for your prayers on yesterday.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your test-imony, Kathy, all I can add is
This song's for you - and us:
STAND by K&K Mimes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW7pX3Jw5SA
AMEN Brie, I just watched/listened to the video you shared. It is indeed for us and so very powerful!! I believe it can now be used for daily inspiration and renewal. I loved the singer's voice and as I watched and listened to the lyrics I see we aren't the first to hear and need this very message. Thank you and you remain in my thoughts.
DeleteThis is so amazing again! Standing with y'all!
DeleteSweet Brie, Absolutely love this song and video. Kathy was brought to her feet by the Lord. He is so kind and merciful. No condemnation or guilt about the past. The past is dead and gone and the future is bright with God's promises.
ReplyDeleteThank you for what you added here Jeanne. Such a very important part of it is what you put into words with your intuitive affirmation.
DeleteThank you sweet Kathy. The Spirit is moving inside all of us.
DeleteHeavenly Father, thank You for always looking after me. You are a most gracious, merciful Father. You are so faithful and forgiving, amazing, and wonderful. There is no one like You. Please keep Your loving gaze upon all Your children and lead us along our paths, according to Your will. Help us to keep our eyes on You above all else and during all circumstances. I am still struggling with this smoking addiction and it weighs heavy on my heart. Please deliver me from this desire. I am trusting in You Lord because I believe in You and all Your promises. I praise You Lord. Thank You Jesus. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen.
ReplyDeleteConfess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. (James 5:16). And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. (John 14:13-14).
JANET, Your smoking is sin and your sin is against God and nobody else. You are sinning against God, let that be more than enough reason to cut it off and cut it off immediately. Do whatever it takes. Don't think that you can continue to do your thing and that God is going to just step in and deliver you from it and just take it away. That concept obviously isn't working for you and hasn't worked for you. Repenting is way more than just being sorry for what you do. I'm sure that you know all this already. But I pray that you find the strength and firm position of heart to overcome.
DeleteDear Janet, sweet sister friend in Christ Jesus. Thank you for seeking Jesus Who has removed many many addictions when He was sought, including nicotine. He can and will remove yours. After asking for His Help, He led me to a Nicotine Anonymous Meeting and the 12 step program for Nicotine Addicts. WOW! My life was forever changed for the better, the desire for Nicotine removed, and the practice of the 12 principles in all my affairs remain. Hope you give yourself the gift that keeps on giving - a 12 step program for Nicotine Addicts.
DeleteThanks for sharing, I will be holding your hand and praying for you as we leap together over this wave. Love to you and our entire JC Family, Brie
Let anyone who is without sin cast the first stone...I admire your courage and bravery, Janet, to share this struggle you have with us. Joyce Meyer tells the story of her nicotine addiction with cigarettes and how she finally beat it. When she'd smoke, she'd tell herself out loud "I hate smoking", "I can't stand the smell of smoke", etc. A week or two after she started these mantras to herself, she completely stopped smoking and to this day can't stand the smell of smoke. I will pray God gives you the strength to stop and, just like Joyce, you find you can't stand the smell either!
DeleteJanet, here is some truth.
DeleteLet not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves,c you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? ~ Romans 6:12-16
Dear Sister Janet, I smoked for 8 years and when I was working in Manhattan I was smoking 1 1/2 packs a day. I was so hooked and I loved the smell of it and lit up after my meals and when I had a drink in my hand and while I was with my friends. Then I developed a cough and it was not a good thing. I started running and couldn't even run a quarter mile without coughing. It took me 3 tries to quit. Tried chewing special nicotine gum and ate more snacks. Gained a bit of weight but I finally did it with God's help. For a while I still loved the smell of someone smoking but now I hate it. My Dad died of lung cancer and my good Mom who is 93 is still smoking. I wish she would quit.
DeleteYou already know we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. We are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus.
Joining prayers for your victory.
NJS, I loved your advice about Joyce Meyer's mantras. It is a very good way to quit.
Father God, We ask you to make Janet aware of the harm she is doing to her body by smoking. Hold her hand tightly and lead her to a great and real desire to give it up. Give her inner strength to withstand the temptation to smoke. Show her that her life will be so much better without it and she will feel so much healthier as her body rids itself of the nasty toxins left by smoking. Each no day without it will bring her energy, strength, better breathing and the ability to exercise. Not to mention she will not smell like smoke anymore and she will save money. We know You can do all things. We are trusting You for this victory. Thank You in the Name of Your Son, Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
“He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high” (Heb. 1:3).
ReplyDeleteLoving Father, I acknowledge by faith in Your Word that You are always closer to me than I am to myself. Thank You for being above everything, in everything, and everywhere. These are inspiring truths about Your attributes and this means I’m never alone. When I pray, my prayers have credibility, they matter because You are listening and will answer. It also tells me that You are in every situation and circumstance of my life. Thank You for being wholly present in heaven and wholly in the earth alone and wholly in heaven and earth together, You are not confined in any place, You are everywhere and present at every place. You are equally near to everyone and everything that exists, while still completely retaining Your unique personhood and individuality. Right at this moment, I say thank You for being just as present with me as You are in the farthest point in the universe from either one of us. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Scripture tells us that God Himself said “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you; Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God (Is. 41:10). Of course, there are times in our life when we might be genuinely lonely and isolated from the people love or are separated from for whatever reason. During this time in particular, we should always remember that God never leaves us, He is always there. Human beings will forsake or abandon us, but God cannot and will never do so. We are never alone, so let us be encouraged that no circumstances can ever separate us from our Father’s Presence!
“He is not far from any one of us. For in him we live and move and exist.” (Acts 17:27-28).
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you” (Isaiah 43:2).
Blessings and Peace.
Maplewood NJ
Beautiful truth and encouragement good and dear Sister! He is omnipresent and as close to us as our breath. I loved your prayer and especially this. How you comforted me. "Right at this moment, I say thank You for being just as present with me as You are in the farthest point in the universe from either one of us. In Jesus’ name. Amen."
DeleteHis Promises are true. Amen and Amen.
Thank you, once again, Maplewood, for these perfectly stated words and prayer! As I walk thru this valley of being shunned from my siblings I have come to realize that while I felt distant from God, too, He was and IS with me! I am feeling far less abandoned because of that knowledge and understanding. I am feeling stronger each day because of that knowledge. May all of our JC family feel God's arms around them today and see all the blessings He has given us on this Monday versus being too busy and pushing through without lifting our heads to look! In Jesus' great name, amen!
ReplyDeleteHis love for us is enough, dear NJS. Nothing else matters. We belong to the greatest High Priest! We are children of The Most High. His reign is forever and He loves us exactly as we are, broken, but trusting in His faithfulness.
ReplyDelete"He loves us exactly as we are, broken"
DeleteFALSE statement
Dear Unknown, Praying that as I have, you have also found some truth this year, in the statement, HE Loves Us Exactly As We Are...
DeleteAmen dear Brie! Thanks and Praise to You, Dear God. Thank you for all the blessings you have given us and all the blessings you continue to give us. Thank You for more answered prayers and Your faithfulness in Jesus' Name. Amen
DeletePrayers requested for His successes on Keith's move day, today.
ReplyDeleteLots of moving parts are involved that I know only The Great I AM can handle.
In Jesus' Name, I trust.
Thank You Family
Heavenly Father, thank You for always being there with and for us. You are the one who makes straight our paths. You are the Good Shepherd and You guide and direct us along the way. Please hold Brie and her family's hand as they move Keith today. Let Your perfect peace, love, strength and joy be upon them. You go before us and with us. Thank You Jesus. Praise You Lord always. Amen 🙏. God bless.
DeletePraying with my dear sister Janet that your move will go very well because the Lord will be at your side throughout the whole process, guiding it and giving you peace and much strength. Praise and Gratitude to the Most High. Thank You Jesus!
DeleteEchoing prayers above.
DeleteSC Anonymous
Praying for Keith's move and also you Brie. You are such a wonderful caretaker for him. Blessings.
DeleteTJ
Joining the prayer party for a better than expected move for Keith, Brie! Call out His name as often as you need to today and then feel His peace wash over you! Lace your "peace shoes" up tightly!
DeleteThe move was postponed.
DeleteThanks for your prayers.
I will carry them forward with me to the next move date with Much Love to my JC Family of Prayer Warriors. In jesus' Name. Amen.
In our trust we will see God's timing, not ours. When God is on the move, I'm standing with you, Brie and family! 🙏♥️
DeleteJust found out my oldest son Bryan, who lives in CA with his lovely wife and baby daughter, is coming home for a few days at the same time Rick and I are going to New Jersey for a 4 day vacation. But we will be with him for one or two days. He has been speaking to a real estate agent and is planning to look at some houses in our area and the neighboring areas, and he also will be interviewing for some jobs. Trusting God to guide him to the house and job he needs. He wants to move East to be with our family. But I must clean out his old room because his wife will be coming for a few days too. It's filled with toys, art supplies, books, Christmas decorations, Easter baskets, Gabriel's drawings and baby clothes. Also a lot of my music sheets and other stuff. The dowel in the closet broke and we have not gotten around to replacing it so there is nowhere to hang their clothes. I must clean the room before we go away on the 5th but I must also bake 48 cupcakes for Nathaniel's 1st Birthday party on the 4th and find some time to pack for the trip. I'm going to help decorate for the party right after Sunday Mass. God knows what I need to do and I trust He will make all things come together for good. Trusting in our faithful God.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day in His presence and guard your peace. It is so very precious.
Jeanne, praying for you as you have several busy days ahead of you. I know you are thrilled your son and his family are looking to move back home to be near family.
DeleteSC Anonymous
Praying for you Jeanne, that you'll get the help and strength you need to get your son's room ready, and make the cupcakes. Trust the Lord to open His way for your son and family.
DeleteJoining Peter in prayers for your success with the guest room and cupcakes, Jeanne!! Nothing like having a motivation to complete something that seemed insurmountable in the past! How exciting that Bryan, his wife and little girl want to be closer to all of the family! I'll be praying for your energy and that God gives you direction each step of the way!
DeleteWOW, Jeanne.
DeleteWhat an overloaded plate, you have. As the poem says, I have so much to do, I have to take time to pray!
Which I know you are doing; You can know we are praying with you.
Much love, blessings and enjoyment of your son, Ally, Evelyn Mary, and your vacay with Rick!
Dearest Brie! Thanks for your sincere prayers! God is our strength and our song! We are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus! Praying with you and for you that the big move will go smoothly with God leading it all. Be strong Sis! Praying you, Larry and Al will get it all done in God’s timing and with His strength. Keith is blessed to be surrounded by so much love and God’s peace and grace. Trusting in God’s faithfulness and loving kindness. 😊🙏💗
DeleteJeanne, praying you will look back in a few days at all you've done through Christ who lives in you! And of course, giving Him the glory. God speed sister 😉
DeleteMany of us have experienced dark dark days.
ReplyDeleteI recall a time many years ago when, staring at a clock on the wall, there was an age of time between each second that ticked slowly by. An hour seemed an eternity. They were dark days indeed, but the electro-shock therapy worked, praise God.
Although I didn't know where I was, He did. My Lord never left my side, He brought me out through the warmth of His Son-shine back gradually to life.
He changed destruction into construction and built me back up again.
This song 'Kiss the Son' applies.
https://youtu.be/tiaKpY6lVSc
Have a blessed day in Jesus Precious Name.
Thanks for sharing your TESTimony, Peter, and a redemption song. I too can relate.
DeleteBeautiful testimony to His faithfulness! So thankful God in His mercy brought light into your darkness and lifted you high above the depths of despair so you could lift up your sweet voice and praise His Holy Name forever! Hallelujah!
DeleteSo very thankful for a great night's sleep and the peace that brings. I was up early, reading our devotion, listening to the Bible, prayed with my Bestie and check work emails.
ReplyDeletePraying for each of you as you go about your day and make the best choices as God leads you. Asking for your prayers and believing with me as I go renew my driver's license. AHHH...the Vision Test - give me eyes to see, Father! Praying for no angst and a blessed day as the construction guys come later today to assess our next steps.
Blessings and Love to each of you. You will be in my prayers throughout the day. "No act of circumstances could ever isolate you from My loving Presence." So very thankful for that.
Dear Norah, Thanks for your prayers. I’m so glad you woke up well rested from a good sleep and in God’s presence and peace! Praying that all will go fine today and God will give you clear vision to ace your eye test. Thank You Jesus 🙏
DeleteI DID, JEANNE!!! I was in and out of the BMV in 20 minutes! Such a relief to be good for 4 years. Hope your day is going smoothly, too!
DeleteSuch good news dear Norah! I'm so glad you passed your vision test! God was with you and He was faithful as always! Hallelujah! My day was very productive. Rick and I worked hard cleaning the boys' room for our son's trip home. All is going well. Thank God! Much love.
DeleteWhat a great note to go to sleep on, Jeanne! So thankful that you and Rick made such great progress! God is good ALL OF THE TIME. All of the time, GOD IS GOOD! Love you, Dear Jeanne.
DeletePraying for you little Brie....is Keith moved? Praying for you, Audra, Sassy Mom, Jan Gridley, Janet, Peter...(uh oh, here I go - I'll miss someone!): ALL of you Great Saints. 'Nite! God is on the Night Watch!
Love you too dear Norah! Praying with you for our dear Brie that she got Keith moved in, and God will tie up every loose end. He is our Way Maker and He will make a way. Rest in His peace and trust in His Way.
DeleteRomans 5:1-2
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Thank You God for all who prayed Traveling Mercy Prayers for our daughter, son-in-love, and grand dog. They arrived in Tennessee and are now back home safe and sound. We are having dinner with them tonight. May the Good Lord guide all my Thoughts, all my words and all my actions. In Jesus' Name. AMEN!

DeleteThanks dear Janet, Brie and Jan! Amen Janet! Let us all shine our light for the Lord!
DeleteFor we are not like many, peddling the Word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God. (2 Corinthians 2:17). And He said, "My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest." Then he said to Him, "If Your presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from here." (Exodus 33:14-15).
ReplyDeleteGood verses today. Thanks sweet sister! I woke up with a stomach ache and I stayed so close to the Lord and felt His presence and prayed so much for my relief. It took a long time but He was so faithful. Thank You Jesus! In His presence we find true rest. Hallelujah!

DeleteThank you Jeanne, so blessed by your post.
ReplyDeleteHad this hymn on continuous repeat in my mind the last few days, I'm really blessed by it, trust you'll be blessed too.
ReplyDeleteHe Hideth My Soul In The Cleft Of The Rock
1 A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
a wonderful Savior to me.
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
where rivers of pleasure I see.
Refrain:
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock
that shadows a dry, thirsty land.
He hideth my life in the depths of his love,
and covers me there with his hand,
and covers me there with his hand.
2 A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord;
he taketh my burden away.
He holdeth me up, and I shall not be moved;
he giveth me strength as my day. [Refrain]
3 With numberless blessings each moment he crowns,
and filled with his fullness divine,
I sing in my rapture,“Oh, glory to God
for such a Redeemer as mine!” [Refrain]
4 When clothed in his brightness, transported I rise
to meet him in clouds of the sky,
his perfect salvation, his wonderful love,
I’ll shout with the millions on high. [Refrain]

In moments when the world feels overwhelming, when healing is so needed, and my thoughts race uncontrollably, I seek Your peace that transcends all understanding. Lord, wrap Your loving arms around me and calm my troubled heart.
ReplyDeleteHelp me to trust in Your unfailing love and to remember that You are in control, even when my circumstances feel chaotic.
Teach me to cast all my anxieties on You because You care for me deeply. May Your presence be my comfort and Your word be the lamp unto my path. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Blessings JC family.
