In order to hear My voice, you must release all your worries into My care. Entrust to Me everything that concerns you. This clears the way for you to seek My Face unhindered. Let Me free you from fear that is hiding deep inside you. Sit quietly in My Presence, allowing My Light to soak into you and drive out any darkness lodged within you.
Accept each day just as it comes to you, remembering that I am sovereign over your life. Rejoice in this day that I have made, trusting that I am abundantly present in it. Instead of regretting or resenting the way things are, thank Me in all circumstances. Trust Me and don't be fearful; thank Me and rest in My sovereignty.
I Peter 5:6-7
English Standard Version
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, 7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

ReplyDeleteYes Lord all of our trials And all of our circumstances. May. I give all of them to you. Not holding anything back from you. May I feel your present near me every morning Thank you Lord for everything you do for me and my family and friends
Delete2 Timothy 1:7, for God has not given us a spirit of fear but of Power and of Love and of a Sound Mind.
DeleteI believe this verse shows us the difference between the “spirit of fear” and God’s character which is Love and Power and a Sound Mind. They are polar opposite’s. Fear is a spirit that doesn’t come from God. When we are fearful we have no power, no Love to give nor a sound mind to make proper decisions.
So true for me, John A. Thank you for sharing.
DeleteAgreed! Thanks John A for the reminder!
DeleteIt has become my finding that when I RELAX in the presence of my Heavenly Father and surrender this body to him, I have no reason for worry and fear. I know that when I walk in his presence, taking his right hand and allowing him to guide me through the day, that my life will be blessed. Yes, I will have difficult times and issues to deal with through the day, but I also know that God will help walk me through those problems and lead me into the light of his presence. So there is no need for worry and fear.
ReplyDeleteI thank my Heavenly Father each and every morning as I sit in his presence and spend my private time (Just God and Me) for all his love; grace; compassion and guidance. I thank him for hearing and answering my prayers. I thank him for blessing me with the opportunity to rise up each day and go out and serve him and helping other's in need. Thank You Jesus for all that You provide. Amen
Amen thank you for this comment I'm finding out the same thing and it feels so good not to have all that anxiety driving me completely nuts throughout the day before I even start my day, this intimacy with God is enough for me to rejoice
DeleteIt is 6:54 am on October 7,2020 and these words still ring true in my heart, right on time . God’s word and provision is timeless. Amen
DeleteAmen! It is a beautiful prayer which speaks to my heart. I feel so blessed to be able to rest in Him at all times and I am secure in His presence in every situation. Yes Angela! His Word is the same yesterday, today and forever and we are taken care of because He is our Good Shepherd and we are His sheep.
DeleteYes Anonymous, Bravo! Amen.
DeleteThank you Anonymous . This really helped today I learnt that my sister has to leave her beautiful flat , the company she works for have not been making a profit and this has affected her salary. May God guide us on how to support her , I have prayed I am sad for her .
DeleteI join you Min in prayer for your sister🙏.
DeleteI needed this prayer this morning. I need you Jesus. I'm glad you are near and the verse was here.
DeleteI thank You, Father, for speedily answering my prayer to hear a comforting word from You.
ReplyDeleteYou know I read this blog and sometimes I wonder what I'm doing wrong because I sit by myself and talked of God cry out to him and he doesn't help me how is it that but it just feels like the closer I get to him the worse my life is I don't understand.
ReplyDeletePray for God's protection and guidance. Satan will keep giving you struggles, blow after blow because he knows you're reaching out to God and he doesn't want that. He wants to keep you for himself and keeps stronghold on you. I pray for you today, that Jesus Christ helps you see you only need him to release the strongholds of satan, in JESUS name, Amen
DeleteAmen! I am in agreement with you, Kelly. Prayers for you, unknown unknown. May you now feel the comfort of God by your side. Jesus, I trust in You. CO
DeleteThink of it like labor pains. The closer you get to your blessing the harder it seems. That is where testimonies happen.
DeleteUnknown, keep spending time with God each day. Keep praying. He hears you and loves you. As others have said, Satan is tempting you. He knows how close you are to God, and he doesn’t like that. Fear is from satan not God.

ReplyDeleteI think God always answers our prayers, but sometimes the answer is “no” or “not now”. He may not be doing what you are asking of him right now, but he is doing what is best for you. He will bring you to a place of peace in His perfect timing!!
I pray for you every day!!
Please help me to cast all my cares and worries to you dear Lord as I struggle in doing so. I know what happens in my life is your will even though I may not understand the reasoning at the time. When I am able to cast my worries to you I feel so peaceful and serene. Give me to strength and guidance to do so on a daily basis.
ReplyDeleteHeavenly father, I pray all the unknown's will feel the comforting presence of your love.
ReplyDeleteAmen!!!
DeleteSo thankful that He is in my life. "Instead of regretting or resenting the way things are, thank Me in all circumstances. Trust Me and don't be fearful; thank Me and rest in My sovereignty." So very thankful for the weekend that we had. Praying mighty prayers for all of my JC Family. Have a wonderful day, knowing that He goes before us and is all around us - He is IN us. What have I to fear? Leaning on His everlasting arms.
ReplyDeleteGood morning JC loved ones. Wasn't able to post this weekend, but eagerly read the post this morning. JJ I know about daughter issues & like you I scratch my head wondering what's going on? The good news is, God knows. He's attentive to our cry as mothers & attentive to the innermost needs of our daughters. So with that said, lets you & I place our precious daughters at the feet of Jesus, walk away, let go & let God do His powerful work in these relationships. Praying for you dear one🥰
ReplyDeletePlease warriors, once again I ask for prayers. My hubby is getting a cortisone shot in his shoulder this morning, 9:45 to be exact. He agreed to it knowing he is allergic to steroids. The pain us overruling here. I'm powerless, God isn't. I'm hoping he will sit tight to be observed
ReplyDeleteafter the shot as a precaution. Thank you for prayers.
Standing in prayers with the family Jan, hubby is going to be alright. Jehovah Rapha has him covered. Blessings.
DeleteMaplewood NJ
Jan - We're on it!!!! Prayers for your husband. JJ - Continued prayers for our children.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sassy Mom🥰. Good to know you're up & checking our blogs early & you're already praying for us. I take great comfort in it. Bless you darlin'💖
DeleteJan, Sassy Mom, Norah, Loveconquersall, and the JC FAMILY --- I have FELT your prayers and I am so, so, thankful!! I covet your continued prayers. I have been lifting you ALL up to our precious Lord. satan hates it when we pray for one another. he is out to kill steal and destroy. I informed him, when he tries to attack me, I am DOUBLING DOWN on my prayets! So, Jan, I have doubled prayers for your daughter and the medical need for your husband's shouder. I will be talking to my daughter in the near future and I pray for the Lord will give me His words to say. In the Throne of Grace lifting you ALL up. Your prayers have given me such an incredible feeling--hard to put it into words. Much much love and blessings to all!
DeleteI'm doubling down today with you all. I have had several nights of dark dreams. There Holy Spirit comforts me too return to sleep, but I am a bit shaken.
DeleteThis is one of my favorite JC passages. 'In order to hear My voice, you must release all your worries into My care.' Fear and love cannot co-exist in us. Our circumstances are external but fear is internal so it is a conscious choice to release our fears and worries into His care.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day everyone! Stay close to The Vine. :-)
Storming heaven for all of our children and grandchildren! satan fights hard against them---he can't afford more WARRIORS! The good news--- he is ALREADY a DEFEATED Foe, thanks to our Jesus!
ReplyDeleteA new day, a new work week. I made it only because of Your mercy and grace. Thank You Father! I invite Your Holy Spirit to take over this day and empower me to worship You while I work.
ReplyDeleteI surrender all to You and look forward to hearing Your voice as I rejoice in Your Presence. Thanking You already for a great day with You right by my side.
Keeping you my JC family, in prayers throughout this day and sending many, many best wishes, love, peace, rest and God's abundance your way. The Lord is good to those who trust in Him and shows Himself faithful.
I leave you with:
Priverbs 3:5-6- "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways, submit to Him and He will make your path straight".
Maplewood NJ
Thanks Maplewood NJ. To the Snow White tune of Whistle While You Work, your post has me singing:
DeleteJust worship while you work
And cheerfully together we can tidy up the place
So hum a merry Prayer
It won't take long when there's
a Psalm to help you set the pace
And as you sweep the room
Imagine that the broom is Someone that you love
And soon you'll find you're dancing with your Faith
When hearts are high the time will fly so worship while you work
So worship while you work.
Brie, I hear this little tune in technicolor! Brings a smile to my face 🤗
DeleteWhat a timely reminder! Thank you, God!
ReplyDeleteI am new here but i believe in the power of prayer because I have seen and felt it so many times in my life. My family and I are praying earnestly this morning that my husband will hear about a job today. He has been out of work for over 5 months. He went on a follow-up/second interview with a company on Friday. We know if this door doesn't open that God has another plan. Thank you for your prayers.
ReplyDeleteNorth Carolina
Unknown --- Standing with you in prayer for a great job for your husband. I plead the blood of Jesus over him and ask the Lord to cover your husband in the Lord's supernatural favor and success!! Welcome, welcome to the JC FAMILY/WARRIORS! Warmed my heart to see your post. Blessings, blessings to you and your family from Kansas
DeleteJJ, Thank you so much! It's been a very tough almost 6 months. We have two young children and living off of my income. And the circumstances around him quitting his job are still of great concern. But I know what concerns us is already in His hands. He is working. I know it! I do pray that he gets this opportunity but if not I am trusting that God has something better. Again, thank you so much for praying.
DeleteUnkown---I would also add-- Lord give Unknown and her husband encouragement today. Bring encouragement through unexpected ways from Your Spirit and from people who cross their paths! Open doors that NO ONE can close! Give them hope and lighten their step. Please lift any anxiety away from their bodies and give them sweet sleep and unexpected joy. Thank you Lord for an employment breakthrough! AMEN and AMEN Alway a privilege and an honor to pray for one another.
DeleteJoining JJ Unknown. Your faith will carry you through this too! hallelujah! we claim success oh Lord for this family. The job handpicked by you does take time sometime. They are trusting you for just the right one. Amen
DeleteThank you Jan! There is one that God has handpicked for him and our family. We thought this one may be it. No call yet. But we trust in His ways. Thank you for praying!
DeleteGood morning Lord and JC family. I have been up for hours with Jairo in my arms, read all your posts. I think he is on to something. Lord hold our children and grandchildren in your arms. Let them feel loved and at peace for you Lord are the only one that provides it to all of us. Let them come to you and you will lead them to the right path.

DeleteThank you warriors, so far so good with hubby. It was a mild shot so we are trusting, no reaction! Amen!
ReplyDeleteSitting back here tonight to read the comments from the day and pray some more. Thank you so much for the prayers, JJ and Jan! I know they are helping me through.
ReplyDeleteFor both of you, I am praying for your daughters and relationships.
Good to read about your husband, Jan. I am praying for continued good results with no complications.

Sassy Mom, I am lifting Ernest Widby up in prayer now! May he continue to find comfort in the Lord.
I am casting my anxieties on Him for today. Amen. CO
THOUGHTS ON INTIMACY WITH OUR LORD
ReplyDeleteOur Catholic brothers and sisters have been encouraged to use the Divine Office for their 'date' with God. Its structure is along the lines of what I shared with you yesterday. Those of you who are of Protestant background, you are likely to have provided for you through your church one of the variety of daily devotionals that are printed, all of which are very good. For me being raised Presbyterian, I learned to use those devotionals in my quiet time though my quiet time was more reading and reflection than it was prayer. Then in my forties (better late than never) I became exposed to some of the practices used in the Catholic church, one being the use of Divine Office. As stated yesterday, at first it was a bit overwhelming but as I stayed with it, I began to find my place in it. Over time, I have morphed what I used to practice with the discipline of Divine Office and those elements form the structure of my 'date' with our Lord. The one aspect that Divine Office has helped me most with, is the appreciation, development, and use of prayer in my relationship with God. As stated yesterday, in the coming days, I will be walking you through the steps of the structure of Divine Office. Though it originated and is most used in Catholicism, fear not if you are Protestant, there is no theology in a prayer book.
You might give thought to the use of a resource in guiding your devotional time. Many years ago when first published, I received a free copy of the 'Magnificat' in the mail. It is a resource for morning and evening prayer along the lines of Divine Office; it also contains the readings of the day for daily mass. I began using it to provide a Spirit-led structure to my time with our Lord and it has become a regular part of my devotional time ever since. It helps fill in the steps of the process by providing hymns, psalms, scripture and meditation to the structure of my quiet time. It also has exposed me to aspects of the faith my Catholic brothers and sisters hold dear to which I have found a greater appreciation. This is not an infommercial, I am simply sharing a resource that has been most helpful to me. Do you have a publication that guides you in your devotional time? Please share so we may all learn from you.
In conclusion, it is essential that we be led by the Holy Spirit in our devotional time but be cautious about only 'tuning in' to things that you like. To do so narrows the opening to which God's light is seeking to shine through to your heart.
Be blessed my bro/sis! God be with you. With love, Bob
Thank you Bob. Your message and writings are always included in my devotional time. Your words and insight that include all faiths is very enlightening. As a Catholic, everyone has Good News to share about our Lord. I love listening to and reading them all. KS
DeleteThanks Bob. Your thoughts and insights are a part of my daily "date". I so appreciate the time you take to share with us. Praying for a great day for all! JE
DeleteThank you dear Bob! You are always doing your best to guide us to grow closer to the Lord. And Amen! May the Spirit lead us to our in our quest to know Him better. Jesus is waiting for us to come to Him to spend precious time together. Be blessed in your day in all ways. Much love!
DeleteBob asks if we have a publication that guides us in devotional time. As I dive deeper into the Bible I have come to a series by N.T. Wright - currently reading "Luke For Everyone" - written about the books of the New Testament that add so much to my understanding. Maybe you too would enjoy the perspective offered in these books.
DeleteJC Warrior Family, Thank you for all your healing prayers for my young friend, Camille, whose vision is declining in one eye. Please continue to keep her vision in your prayers. Here is what I received from her today: "You down & need a pick me up too?
ReplyDeleteIt's Ok we all get a little down sometimes. The most important thing is that you remember nothing lasts forever & this too shall pass. While 2020 feels like a never-ending horror story, it is revealing something special & making us all stronger 💯
I am taking a moment to say THANK YOU to all who are praying for me! You continue to cheer me up, cheer me on and pick me up through this difficult time. My eyesight remains a challenge, but I am more focused & have more clarity than I ever had before. I'm channeling all of this into my music. With Love Cami"
Thanks again to continually pray for her!
Praying that the good Lord puts his healing hands on you, Cami, and makes it better.
DeleteKeeping Camille and her vision in prayers dear Brie. Thank you Lord for giving her the strength and peace that only You can. She trusts and loves you and so do we. ❤

DeleteI will continue to pray for Camille and I believe that God and His Spirit are already working amazing things inside her. I hope and pray with thanksgiving that her vision will come back. May she shine like the sun with her music as she glorifies Him. Amen!
DeleteThanks JC Prayer Warriors. I am so thankful He is upholding her Faith and we are looking forward to His Complete Healing for her.
DeleteShe knows I am Singing "Be Thou My Vision" with Nathan Pacheco until I can dance the Victory Dance!
Amen! Praying that beautiful song with you and resting on His faithfulness.
DeleteSnagged this year by ""You down & need a pick me up too?
DeleteIt's Ok we all get a little down sometimes. The most important thing is that you remember nothing lasts forever & this too shall pass."
I consider myself picked up.
Father, I come to Your open, loving, and everlasting arms for the perfect peace, love, joy, rest, and guidance that only You can give. Restore, revive, and renew my heart, soul, mind, body, and life Lord. Breathe Your breath into me Lord and make me new in You. Thank You Jesus. I love and adore You 💛. Amen 🙏.
ReplyDeleteAmen dear Janet! Your words are the words of my heart.

#MEETOO!
DeleteLoving Heavenly Father, I am grateful that You chose to talk to me and want me to hear Your voice. I want to live submissively, and continuously surrendering to Your will and Your way for my life. I know that it is always the best way for me. I cast all my cares on You, trust and find rest in Your Sovereignty. Thank You for Your grace that is sufficient for me. This is my prayer in Jesus’ name. Amen.
ReplyDeleteIn any loving relationship, there should be an open dialogue with listening as the key. A full and vibrant walk with God is never complete without opened and deep listening. Jesus instructed us to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, strength and mind. We are to listen to Him, relate to Him, learn from Him, speak to Him , draw near Him, and apply what He instructs. Prayer is speaking and relating to God. We also have the Word to rely on, because it’s through those pages that we hear Him speak to us. When faced with fear or worry, we can turn the pages and find His promises to take care of all our circumstances. Every single day, God offers to speak to us and guide us. We must accept that offer and be willing to have an adventure with joy and risk, but with freedom awaiting us in the end!
One of life’s most valuable lessons, is listening to the voice of the Lord. Dr. Charles Stanley puts it this way: “Listening to God is Essential to Walking with God.”
“See to it that you do not refuse Him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused Him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from Him who warns us from heaven?” (Heb. 12:25).
“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.” (James 1:22-24)
“Casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7
Dear Father, We thank You for all the circumstances in our lives and ask that our ears be opened to hear Your small still voice reminding us that it is well! We thank You for Your magnificent Presence which is all we need for any challenge that may come our way. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Blessings and Peace.
Maplewood, NJ
Wonderful post and prayer dear Maplewood. I really needed to pray your prayer. Just got back from a routine checkup with my Cardiologist. I hadn't been to him in many years. He said I'm just fine but since I have a tiny hole in my heart he want to do an Echo on me on the 23rd. He did say my EKG was not perfect but he also said he's not concerned about it in any way. So I will just stay in God's magnificent Presence and I am sure I will ace that Echo. God bless you for feeding me well and I agree that we must find a quiet time each day to listen to the small sweet voice of Jesus. He is such a Comfort to Me.
DeleteThanks Maplewood.
DeleteYes Lord. I Submit. You Uplift.
Whenever someone we love, be it spouse, parent, child, friend, family member, calls our name, do not our ears perk up? The One that most loves us is constantly calling our name. "Today, if you hear the voice of the Lord, harden not your hearts" (Psalm 95:8); rather perk up your ears and hear His words of love for you (Bob 14:3-4). Thanks, twin bd sis! God be with you.
DeleteLord, It's important to me to listen and obey whenever You call my name, but When You call my name and my ears don't perk up, just head over to the pantry, rustle up the teeat bag, or start the can opener! See me perk up, run to You, sit up, roll over, better than Spot, in Fun With Dick and Jane books!

ReplyDeleteBEACH DEVOTION: A RACE FOR THE KEYS
FROM MATTHEW 16: And I will give you The Keys to The Kingdom of Heaven; whatever doors you open on earth shall be open in Heaven. And whatever doors you lock on earth shall he locked in Heaven!
MY PRAYER FOR US:
Sometimes the journey to the long awaited beachhouse includes patience. Patiently sitting in the car. Patiently waiting for restroom stops. Patiently awaiting meal and snack breaks. Patiently enduring "Are we there yet?" When the crew finally arrives at the beach home, clear the way, because then everyone scrambles and pleads for the honor of first. First to open the door. First to pick a room. First to get swimming suit on. First to splash in the refreshing ocean waters. Ahhh! the Heavenly Joy for family life that week!
BASKING AND CASTING!
We BASK in His sun, sand and sea, lying exposed to His warmth and His Light from The Son, for relaxation and pleasure. We play and rest in His Supreme, Absolute Ultimate Sovereignty. We CAST all other concerns aside!
The Kingdom of God is similar to our beach house destination. And Jesus gives us the Keys!
Dear Heavenly Father God, Would You help us spark the same joy and passion in our hearts? Would You help us race to be first in bringing our earth family into Heavenly realms? Would You help us do and say only those things on earth that have eternal significance in Heaven? Would You help us hold on to Your Keys so tightly that we do not give Your Keys back, even when we want to? Instead would You help us race to be first to open up Your Kingdom to someone, race to be first to unlock The Door for someone, race to be first to welcome them upon their arrival into Your Paradise? And race to be first to get the joy of basking and casting when we usher them in? Thank You for trusting us with The Keys to Your Kingdom. In our words AND in our works, would You help us race to be first to always be thankful, kind, good, joyful, and prayerful, serving each other with humble spirits? On behalf of our JC Prayer Warrior Family, I ask. I seek. I knock. I thank in Jesus' Name. Amen.
WHEN YOU WANT TO HEAR MY VOICE, THEN RELEASE ALL OF YOUR SITUATIONS INTO MY CARE. CLEAR THE WAY BY ENTRUSTING TO ME EVERYTHING THAT CONCERNS YOU!
I’m racing to be first to thank God for giving us the keys to His Kingdom through His Son, for loving us completely and for sending you to us to refresh and encourage us each day with your sweet cheerful posts and sincere prayers!! Much love dear Sister!💕
ReplyDeleteGood Morning family,
ReplyDeleteI have been reading and praying continuously for you and your dear ones, even from the down in the valley place, after hearing Keith's heart prognosis. I must continue holding onto our Savior's Hand as I count every blessing, and thank and praise Him from this vantage point. I ask His help to put today's devotion into action: In order to hear My voice, you must release all into My care. Entrust to Me everything that concerns you. This clears the way for you to seek My Face. Let Me free you from fear that is hiding deep inside you, robbing you of My Joy. Sit quietly in My Presence, allowing My Light to soak deeply into you and penetrate you until it glows from the inside to the outside. Consider me perched, Lord!
Thank You for trusting us with The Keys to Your Kingdom, Lord. In good words AND in good works, would You help us race to be first to always be thankful, kind, good, joyful, and prayerful, serving each other with humble spirits? In Jesus's Name I ask. I seek. I knock. I praise. I thank. I yield. Amen.
Thanks for the group hug, Audra; I savored it!
Happy Birhthday Prayers going out to Dylan and family. God knows Dylan's heart and loves him.
I gathered into yesterday's healing prayers with you, Jeanne, Jan, and Kathy. While taking my faith walk, I even belted out a verse of Jeanne's Choir song, Walk By Faith, and Butterfly Love's Dust to Dust.
Prayed for Jack, Terry, Patricia, and Anoymous' pregnancy.
I was glad to meet our new? Brother In Christ.
Joined Terry in prayer for grieving Anonymous, and to have more oil for my lamp in preparation for our Bride groom's return for us. I prayed for all of you and each of your dear ones, as I do everyday, whether I post or just read, or just pray. With Much Love, Brie
Yes Dear Brie, my lamp is lit. Sis Janet's prayer that I quoted below need this lamp lit at all times to shine on any darkness hidden within me. Thank you for sharing💕
DeleteDear Brie, God created dear Keith and knows every weakness in his body. It's better to trust in God than in man so we will continue to pray for a miraculous healing of Keith's heart. He can restore him because He is the ALL MIGHTY God. I wish I could have heard you belting out those beautiful songs. Thank you so much for your precious prayers. Praying for all of you and keeping you close to my heart.
DeleteFather, You are such a great and merciful God. Thank You for hearing our sincere prayers. You are our constant friend, our greatest Love and our constant Help. We are trusting in You to bring about the best in our loved ones and in our lives in Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. (Colossians 3:2). But may all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation say continually, "Great is the LORD!" (Psalm 40:16). I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. (Galatians 2:20).
ReplyDeleteHeavenly Father, thank You for the sheer privilege of being in Your Presence. You are Almighty God. You are sovereign over all things and the Creator of everything. You are my Father, Lord, rock, redeemer, friend, love, provider, and Savior, today, tomorrow, and always. Please put Your everlasting, loving arms around me and remind me that all is good -- always! Thank You for everything. Let Your love light shine upon me and reveal and destroy any and all darkness that is within me. I give all my burdens and worries to You Lord. They are too heavy for me to carry. They weigh me down, but You lift me up with You. I cast all my cares upon You Lord. I praise You Lord always and continually. Thank You Jesus. You mean so very much to me. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen.
Amen sister!!! He is indeed our Lord, rock, redeemer, friend, love, provider, and Savior. It is nothing short of a privilege to belong to Him and be beloved children of the Most High!
DeleteBlessed Assurance - Jesus is Mine.
I'll be with my little Gabriel all day and then I'm making a big chicken dinner for the family. Blessed and thankful that my Lord and King will be with me through every part of my day. I will be reading more "God" books to my little grandson. His heart is open and it is such a gift that I can share the greatest part of me. I'm a bit sleep deprived but God is my strength and my song. I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me!
Dear Janet, He is carrying your burdens and leading you to the desires of your heart. You mean so much to HIM. And us! <3 Keep shining your beautiful light for Him.
Love,"Let Your love light shine and reveal and destroy any and all darkness within me." Amen and 🎶I raise a Hallelujah! Be held, be blessed dear sister💕
ReplyDeleteDear Lord I pray that you guide my so for he is sad and overwhelmed right now! I pray you show me the words and tge actions to calm his spirit and know that he is ok and that you love him! Lord being a single mom is so hard...please give me strength!❤🙏🏽
ReplyDeleteDawn -Prayers of endurance, strength, hope, love and wisdom for all single mom's and their children.
ReplyDeleteDear Dawn. Praying that God's spirit will give you all the words you need and guide your path to calm his spirit and encourage and lift him. And may He strengthen you in all ways. Thank You Jesus.
ReplyDeleteI'm so very thankful to have this blog and all of you. We need each other. God designed the body of Christ to fit jointly together just as he designed our physical body. We are meant to work together, Enhancing each other's strengths and undergirding when someone is weak. Because we are flesh we can be both strong and weak at the same moment. Because we are God's children we are heirs to all that is his. We don't need to depend on our own strength or collapse our knee in weakness. Except when we are bending our knee before our Lord.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is important in this body on this blog. Every anonymous, every unknown, every daily post, every weekly post, once a month or every blue moon post. They all matter, we all matter, YOU matter. Please don't ever feel that your contribution doesn't matter. Every post matters whether it's an amen, a heartfelt prayer or emptying yourself of your concerns and hurts. Every post matters. YOU MATTER you are loved by us and most importantly you are loved by the creator of heaven and earth. Who gave his life so you can be forgiven of your sins.
Would the creator of all heaven and Earth give his life for you if you didn't matter? He bled and died for you, me and all of us. Every life matters!
Love you TERRI and our entire JC Family. Thanks for turning the feelings inside my heart to liquid and pouring out my sentiments exactly. 💕
DeleteAmen sweet Terri! We need each other and God puts us here to pray for each other and lift our spirits. Surely the Presence of the Lord is in this place. Thank you so much for your awesome words of encouragement! Love you <3
Delete#ME TOO, again this year!
DeleteDear JC Family - I've loved reading everything on here today and have prayed for all of you and will continue to. Brie, your brother is on my heart and you, my sister, knowing what you are dealing with. It's hard.
ReplyDeleteLove to all of you - the individual names I can't list but I pray perfectly to Our Father and know He hears.
Please pray for me and the questions my daughter is asking, which are so hard because she doesn't recognize God's Word as Truth. Hope to be in bed early - 7A haircut! GEEZ! Why did I do that? HA HA...
Praying, praying - "Sit quietly in My Presence, allowing My Light to soak into you and drive out any darkness lodged within you." <3
Praying for you sweet Norah! Get some rest. May God fill your daughter's heart with a hunger to know Him better through His Word. Thank You Jesus!
ReplyDeleteHope your haircut came out really nice.
God tells us to rejoice in our trials because they test our faith and we must depend on Him to carry us through. Good exercise for our trust muscles. We must be patient because God is molding us through our hardships and challenges. I was trying to learn two hard songs for Choir and I forgot to call my son back on his Birthday. I only spoke to him briefly because we were babysitting. And when I remembered, it was too late to call him. I let him down. I am so very imperfect. I make mistakes, and sometimes I forget to do things that are important because I get distracted. Then I feel so bad. I called out to the Lord and told Him how I feel. He understands my frustrations and discouragements and also my weaknesses. My prayer is often: Make me a better person. Every new day is a chance to make things right. God blesses us with wisdom and understanding to resolve our problems and smooth out the wrinkles of life. His gifts to us are so much more valuable than anything this world can give us. Going to sleep now in His peace. Looking forward to making things right tomorrow.
ReplyDeletePhilippians 4:6-7
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
James 1:2-5
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 perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
Dear Jeanne, easy now girl, don't beat yourself up over some forgetfulness. God knows your heart & I'm betting so does Dylan. Besides it gives your son a chance to flex his spiritual muscles of understanding & forgiveness. Texting Happy Birthday & lavishing it with loving emojis (no matter how late the day) works great. I KNOW! have a great day dear one at forgiving yourself. Love & blessings 😍🌈💞
DeleteOur darling heaet, with those Words you're leaning on (Philippians 4:6-7 and James 1:2-5) I'm certain all things will work together for good. You may find out, it hurt you more than it hurt him (Momism)
DeleteMuch Love and Many Prayers, JC Family of Prayer Warriors, Brie
Dear Sisters, If you only knew how happy your encouraging words make me feel! Thank you all for your kind and understanding hearts! I know Gid always makes things right abd thankfully He was faithful. I’m a little sensitive. Dylan no longer puts a capital M on Mom when he texts me. It’s always: Okay mom. or Thanks mom! Last week I texted him and wrote “Hi dylan!” Oh well
DeleteI'm hearing of late during my quiet time that I need to lighten up. Like you, Jeanne, I'm a sensitive. God advises me to remember to smile more and watch His Light flow through me. Smile when I see others, when I talk on the phone, and while I'm reading. It's been kinda fun feeling different and feeling blessed just by smiling 😁
DeleteSearch me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. (Psalm 139:23-24).
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite verses. Thank dear Janet for starting our day with your prayer & God's word. Love & blessings 🙏💞
ReplyDeleteThank you warriors for your prayers for my bff's hubby. Tests revealed no cancer, just a scarring of the tissues. Colonoscopy showed polyps that has to be removed. God is good! Amen? Amen! Hallelujah!
ReplyDeleteAmen! God IS good.
DeleteThanks for sharing yet another VICTORY IN JESUS, Jan gridley.
DeleteHallelujah! Thanking our good and faithful God for a good report for your DH! When I was praying for him yesterday I wondered how things were going. Thanks for the update dear sister. You made my day!
DeleteYay God!!!
DeleteNo matter what, He's got it covered!
ReplyDeleteI still get blown away, wow'd at the thought that the Lord of all creation wants to be actively engaged in every element of our day.
"casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you."
Might take a while, that. After casting the top layer - the ones that go round and round throughout the day, the layer below comes to the surface. And so it goes, layer after layer. Suddenly, I get peace, I am at peace. His Peace that passes all understanding envelopes me.
The great I AM by His Holy Spirit fills me with His Peace. Anxieties and concerns have melted like morning mist in the heat of the rising sun.
I feel light, buoyant. It is true, concerns do weigh us down.
Thank You Lord Jesus for being our burden bearer, for setting us free. Thank You that Your Light soaks into us and drive out any darkness lodged within.
O Lord my God, You are A M A Z I N G! Thank You Jesus. Have God Friday everyone.
Amen. I love mornings. I love these moments to arise and start anew. To start my day completely focused on Him. As the words state today, "Let His Light soak into me." And as you have said, it results in us proclaiming -- O Lord My God, You are Amazing. My past has not been what I want it to be. I have not centered myself on Him, aligned myself with Him in each moment. I get off track. I bring idols into my life and ever so subtly and slowly they start taking more and more of a place of prominence in my life to the point that my days are no longer about Him, but all about Me. So right now - I return to Him with all my heart shouting to Him You are amazing. You are holy Forever God! I'm loving this tune -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkHgxKemCRk
DeleteThank you so much for this site and your Faithfulness.
DeleteThanks dear Peter! Taking this with me today: “Thank You Lord Jesus for being our burden bearer, for setting us free.”
DeleteAmen!! He sure made everything better for me today!
Dear Chris, When we fall out of favor, our loving Father calls us back and gently lifts us up and out of the mess we made because we let go of His Hand and started to follow the world and the flesh. Jesus was tempted and affected by His human emotions and He felt all the physical, emotional and mental pain we do so Ge really understands. He lovingly puts us right back on the straight and narrow because He is merciful and He reads our hearts of repentance and He really cares. Last night when I was trying to sleep. I told Jesus I was sorry for not making my son’s birthday more special and I asked Him to forgive me and make things right. Then I told Him how much I love Him and need Him and I asked that He wrap me up in His peace. And I felt it and I went right to sleep in His loving Arms. He is so good.
I’ll listen to that song now! Thanks 🙏
JC so good today (like everyday!) WE are anxious beings. Dear Lord help me to know that anxiety/worry is a useless emotion. Help me to know that your presence in my life is all I need to calm any worries and fears. FAITH does CALM. I sent this to a couple of my adult children to understand this as well. Amen.
ReplyDeleteAmen dear ABC! When you find yourself worrying just say JESUS. You will feel better immediately because He is greater than any problem or situation. He can bring peace to anything weighing you down because His peace is not dependant on circumstances. It is a forever peace that we will have with us right into eternity. Faith does calm. Amen my brother. Good thing you sent that to some of your grown children. I'm waiting for some of mine to find some faith. All in God's timing.
DeleteGod Bless you All and have a blessed day :)
ReplyDeleteMargaret /Pennsylvania
Thanks for the sweet blessing, dear Margaret from Pennsylvania! God bless you too. Hope your day is sweet, peaceful and productive to God's glory.
DeletePraise be to God! I had such a nice phone conversation with Dylan this morning. He had a great Birthday and his 3 year old son sang Happy Birthday to him in the morning without being asked. Both boys made cards for him. He enjoyed his Birthday lunch in the city with Erica. She made him an Apple Pie for his Birthday and they will have it tonight. He loved the finger puppets I sent him. Rick and In are planning to visit them at the end of the month. So sad that I can’t even say “God bless you” to them. They asked me not to since they don’t believe in God. When their babies sneeze, they say: Bless you. Oh well, I’m putting it all in God’s Hands. Thank You Jesus.
ReplyDeleteCreate in me a clean heart O God and renew a right spirit within me! Amen to that!! Such a wonderful prayer dear Janet! Thank you for voicing what we in our human imperfections feel in our hearts. Love you and all our dear ones here. God bless you all. 💗
ReplyDeleteEveryone who knows and loves you will understand all you have on your plate! Hope you have a great time tonight 💗
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time with your friends for a "sleepover", Norah! Gosh almighty, you certainly need a respite of sorts and what fun to go with your friends! Glad you're going!
ReplyDeleteI have a very sweet story to tell and a victory to celebrate. My sister's son and wife have a little boy who is 3, and she was pregnant about a year and a half ago and lost the child. They were devastated and after a while, started to try again but they just couldn't get pregnant. We just kept praying every day. Janet was so discouraged because they just couldn't conceive. Well for the last few months, every time I prayed that she would get pregnant, I had a feeling that it would be very soon. I really felt God's assurance about it. Last week, Janet was depressed for a lot of reasons and one was that Stephanie couldn't get pregnant. I told her: I believe Stephanie is going to tell you she is pregnant very very soon. Well today Janet told me Stephanie is pregnant with a little girl. Hallelujah. I told her that God is sooooo faithful and I told God: Thank you sooooo much! Wow that was really fast!
ReplyDeleteHe is our Way Maker and nothing is too hard for him. Got my victory shoes on and I'm so grateful for God's faithfulness and mercy.
This devotion was what I needed. As my Mom is getting weaker and losing so much weight, I am holding onto God’s Hand and calling out to Jesus all through the day. She is 76 pounds and so very unsteady on her feet. She can hardly get up from sitting. My Mom is such a mighty prayer warrior. Now that she is in pain and wants to die, she keeps calling out to Jesus to take her. It breaks my heart but I know she is 95 and she is so loved by everyone especially God so I will be relieved when she finally is called Home. God is Sovereign and I am resting in Him. I thank Him for these precious days with my Mom even though they are so difficult. He knows my heart is breaking to see her suffering. But her eternal reward will be worth it.
ReplyDeleteFather God, In your mercy, ease my Mom’s pain and call her Home soon, but Your will, not ours. Thank You Jesus.
1 Corinthians 2:9
Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man. The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.
Praying with you and for you and your family Jeanne. May our heavenly Father's loving arms be wrapped around your mom, comforting her and bringing her His perfect peace. May you all feel His mighty presence and power in your hearts. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏. Peace be with you!
DeleteIn prayer dear Jeanne. Jesus has the timing just right for your mom. He is in preparation of that mansion promised her, just perfect for her homecoming. All is being made ready for the reception line to form to welcome her into gloryland. Her eyes will soon behold the loving eyes of her Savior and His outstretched arms ready to welcome her home. How glorious that will be! Hallelujah! Soon I pray Lord Jesus soon! Amen! ❤️🙏🌈
DeleteBoth Janet's and Jan's prayers for your mom, yourself, & family, Jeanne, are simply perfect. Nothing more I could add other than I am joining them and you in prayer, dear sister. Sending love and peace to you all. In Jesus' name, amen.
DeleteLike NJS said --All these prayer are perfect and I am joining in and saying AMEN and AMEN!
DeleteWhat they said. Love you Jeanne! ♥️🙏
DeleteYour prayers all made such a difference to me and my Mom today!!! Thank you dear Janet and Jan and NJS, JJ and Audra! Amen and Amen!! We know that God’s promises are true and His timing is perfect! Today I saw my Mom actually full of joy at seeing her great granddaughter Evelyn clapping her hands while we were singing. If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands!! It was a gift from God and it blessed all of us!!! I think it renewed her spirit because she saw that there would still be good times ahead. Our God is so good and prayers are powerful!! Hallelujah
DeleteHeavenly Father, thank You and bless Your holy name! I praise You Lord always and thank You Jesus 😊. Lord, have Your way with me! Help me to surrender everything to You and let Your will be my will. Align me with You Lord! Let Your powerful presence permeate within me and through me to others. Shine Your face upon me and bless me and keep me. Let us walk together, rejoicing over You Lord. I can't thank You enough Lord. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏.
ReplyDeleteAmen, so blessed by your prayer.
DeleteJoining into your beautiful prayer sweet Janet! Amen
DeleteJC Warriors, thank you for all your prayers. Norma's procedure went well and prayerfully it will help get rid of all the pain she's been experiencing. I am so grateful for all of you 🙏.
ReplyDeleteI was praying that it would all go well and her leg would be healed! Thank You Jesus!
DeleteLikewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents. (Luke 15:10). You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. (Psalm 16:11). But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts. (Romans 13:14).
ReplyDeleteAnd do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2).
DeleteWonderful feast for our souls today!!! Thanks 💗🙏
DeletePsalm 27
ReplyDelete1 The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked advance against me to devour me,
it is my enemies and my foes
who will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.
4 One thing I ask from the Lord,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.
6 Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me; at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord.
7 Hear my voice when I call, Lord;
be merciful to me and answer me.
8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face Your face, Lord, I will seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
God my Savior.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
the Lord will receive me.
11 Teach me your way, Lord;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, spouting malicious accusations.
13 I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.
You fed us well dear brother! Thanks! Waiting patiently on the Lord. God bless you with much light on your path.
DeleteThank you dear Janet & brother Peter for the nourishing word of the Lord. Blessings on your day.
ReplyDeletePraying dear Chris for your dad. That he will finally let go of your mom & grab hold of his Saviour's hand. That his remaining days be spent walking with Jesus. Amen. 💕🙏🌈

ReplyDeletePrayer for Putting on the Armor of God
Lord Jesus, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God because I know that my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world. Thank you that you have made it possible for me to be strong in your mighty power and to stand against all that the evil one would throw against me this day.
In Jesus Name, I put on the belt of truth and pray that I may be centered in and encircled by your truth today. By your power, enable me to walk in your truth and to give no place to deception or the lies of the enemy. Protect me by the truth of your Word.
I put on the breastplate of righteousness. I praise you, Lord Jesus, that I am covered with your righteousness today in my body, soul and spirit. I now pray that by the power of the Holy Spirit, my life would show forth the righteous fruit of Your presence. Guard my heart, for it is the wellspring of life (Proverbs 4:23). Strengthen and protect the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good and noble so I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy.
I put on the shoes of peace. I choose to stand on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ and the good news of his amazing grace. In Jesus’ name, I claim over my heart and mind the peace of God that transcends all understanding (Philippians 4:7). I cast down every anxious thought today, and as I walk in the gospel of peace, I pray that you would make me ready to share your good news with others.
I take up the shield of faith this day and in your name, I extinguish every dart and arrow by which the enemy would seek to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, or emotionally. I lift the shield of faith against every arrow directed at me, my family, my business, my possessions, or any part of my domain. I bind every fearful thought in Jesus’ name and choose rather to walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).
I put on the helmet of salvation and pray that you would protect my mind from thoughts that could lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive to Jesus Christ and to reject any thought that is not from You (2 Corinthians 10:5). Transform my mind by the power of your Word and grant me a hope-saturated mind so that I may truly overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13). This day, in the name of Jesus, I bind and refuse all depressed, despairing, and defeated thinking.
Finally, I take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Please give me the insight, wisdom, and revelation to wield your Word skillfully against every scheme of the enemy. Thank you that your Word on my lips has the power to defeat every attack of the enemy!
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for equipping me with everything I need to win my battles this day! I praise you that I am protected today by the armor of God. I now claim your promise that no weapon formed against me shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). In Jesus’ mighty name, amen!
Oh, Sassy Mom --- Bless you, bless you, bless you for your post on the Armor of God!!! It is excellent!!! I put this Armor on every day, apply every verse of the 91st Psalm and Plead the Blood of Jesus over everything that pertains to me. In spiritual warfare, the Blood of Jesus Christ is a very powerful weapon that gives us VICTORY over satan and all his minions!
DeleteWe must put on the Armor of God at all costs!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
DeleteThanks dear Sassy Mom for last year’s post on the Armor of God and for our JJ’s reply! Amen! We need to put on His Armor every day and keep His Word engraved on the tablets of our hearts. We are covered by the Blood of Christ and surrounded by God’s mighty armies and His hedge of protection! Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! There is Power in His Holy Name. Hallelujah!
DeletePsalm 91:9-11
Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
Thank you Sassy Mom for your prayer-post of putting on the armor of God. God bless you and peace be with you 🙏.
DeleteJoining you all in thanking our awesome sister, Sassy Mom for this post of God's Armor. THANK YOU, Sassy Mom! We must put on this armor every day! Thank you, Lord, for this armor of protection!
DeleteAmen SassyMom! Thank you. Been missing your post. How are dear one? 😍🙏🙌
DeleteI’m at my oldest son’s house sleeping on the couch. Evelyn was a good little girl yesterday. We had a nice time together. And Bryan and Allie were able to put up curtain rods and curtains in their room and the baby’s room. Although Allie isn’t due till the 28th, she is heavy with child and so uncomfortable because the baby has dropped. She told me she had some cramps a couple of days ago. I did my best to take care of Evelyn. I was able to get her showered and ready for bed. I read to her and gave her some milk and put her into her crib. And she was soon asleep. I prayed with Allie and Bryan that she would have a smooth delivery of a healthy baby. We talked a lot and it was a special time I will always remember. Thank you for praying with me that all goes well when the new baby finally arrives. God knows we are all trusting in His faithfulness and waiting on Him.
ReplyDeleteFather God, You are all knowing and all powerful and Your promises are true. We ask that you give dear Allie a smooth delivery of a healthy baby boy and that Bryan, Allie and Evelyn will be so blessed by this baby. Guide me to be a great help to them when I stay with them the first week after they return home. Thank you for guiding our words, thoughts and actions, give us rest and strength, and make all things right for us and our families and also answer our prayers and the prayers of this JC Family in the powerful Name of Christ Jesus. We are covered by His Blood, Your promises and Your Word. Amen.
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
Joining in prayer and looking forward to hearing and rejoicing with you over the good news of a safe delivery and healthy mom and babe.

35 "Thus says the Lord, Who gives the sun for a light by day and the fixed order of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, Who stirs up the sea’s roaring billows or stills the waves when they roar—the Lord of hosts is His name:
36 If these ordinances [of fixed order] depart from before Me, says the Lord, then the posterity of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me throughout the ages.
37 Thus says the Lord: If the heavens above can be measured and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then I will cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done, says the Lord."
1 Kings 6:12 AMP
"I will dwell among the sons (descendants) of Israel, and will not abandon My people Israel."
Thank you brother Peter for sharing these truths about God's beloved Israel, the apple of His eye. We must continue to pray for the opening of her heart for the Messiah. Although she is bloodied & in desperate state. God will pick her up, hold her tight as He cleanses her ever so gently as He has done so many times through her rebellion. God be praised! 🙏🙌

DeleteAMEN, Peter! Constantly praying for the Peace of Jerusalem and Pleading the Blood of Jesus over all the people and the hostages.
DeleteRequesting prayer for my daughter-in-law who is taking her Class 3 driving road test today. She applied for our city fire department almost a year ago. They had over 2000 applicants. During the last year she has gradually made it up through those ranks and is now one of about 200 of which 150 will be hired for a probationary job with the fire department. She will need this class 3 license as part of the employment requirement. We are very proud of her and how well she has done to date with advanced first aid courses, written tests, and interviews.
ReplyDeleteThank you for praying with us for His peace and protection to cover her as she maneuvers this truck through all the processes required.
Prayers for your daughter as she progresses on her certification to be hired in the fire department. God bless her!
