Do not let any set of circumstances intimidate you. The more challenging your day, the more My Power I place at your disposal. You seem to think that I empower you equally each day, but this is not so. Your tendency upon awakening is to access the difficulties ahead of you, measuring them against your average strength. This is an exercise in unreality.Ephesians 1:18-20
I know what each of your days will contain, and I empower you accordingly. The degree to which I strengthen you on a given day is based manly on two variables: the difficulty of your circumstances, and your willingness to depend on Me for help. Try to view challenging days as opportunities to receive more of My Power than usual. Look to Me for all that you need, and watch to see what I will do. As your day, so shall your strength be.
English Standard Version
18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might 20 that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places,
Psalm 105:4
English Standard Version
Seek the Lord and his strength;
seek his presence continually!
Seek the Lord and his strength;
seek his presence continually!
Deuteronomy 33:25
New King James Version
Your sandals shall be iron and bronze;
As your days, so shall your strength be.
Your sandals shall be iron and bronze;
As your days, so shall your strength be.
My Prayer (2022)
Lord, I want to be a person that does good deeds. Jesus you said that only God is good, so I trust in You and pray that You would continue to make me good. I seek You Lord and seek Your Strength and ask that your presence therefore would be in me. You enlighten me to truth. You enlighten me to hope. You enlighten me to eternal life. You give power. God you raised Christ from the dead and you raise me to eternal life. Help me now each day to glorify You in all You do. You know me God better than I know myself and so again, I go to to you and lean on You to work in me and to give me strength and perseverance each day. You make me rich and this is my strength. Thank you God.

As with all veterans, this day holds special significance to us. I am thankful that our nation is asked to remember those who sacrificed for our freedom... in so many ways the fallen were doing as Christ did by laying down His/their life for others. I know some struggle with war as a human condition or fault.. yet Satan is also fighting a war just unseen here on Earth. How awesome that God clearly states He will give me and you what we need for today. I pray we accept it.

ReplyDeleteLord, you know what lies ahead for me, and all of us, your children. You know the mountains and valleys ahead. You have gifted me with the tools necessary to forge forward with You leading the way. You provide me with the strength, energy, and passion that I have and I am so very grateful Lord. I sing you praises as you continue to mold me into the woman you created me to be. I know today will present challenges, but I accept them with open arms and will trust and rely on you to guide me, strengthen me, and protect me through them. I love you Lord and I am yours.

DeleteAmen to that dear Brie! Your prayer is mine.
DeleteAmen to all of the above for our veterans: God has not forsaken you. My own father was a Green Beret who passed early in the war, and this song is one of my favorites about a man from the Vietnam War by Big and Rich:https://youtu.be/h_OyFoxp_uo
DeleteJC WARRIORS I humbly ask for your prayers for my grandson who is in the State soccer playoffs and is a captain for his team. He had a hamstring injury and is need of prayers for healing. I covet your prayers and Thank You! GOD Bless this JC FAMILY!!!

DeleteIn 2019, it's still comforting to see that our veterans are being recognized positively vs. the contempt for those who returned from Viet Nam. Praise God for that change in attitudes. Now, we should all pray for our police officers, who are treated terribly in many major cities by asking God to change the hearts of the mob anti-blue sentiment as well. Lastly, I pray that all will seek the Lord for the strength to make it through one's challenges of today. The Father promises to strengthen us to the level required to take on today's obstacles. Praying for all here and that God indeed holds your hand through the present valley. Hug a veteran today. Godspeed JC group. Amen
ReplyDeleteThanks Madfox for praying for our law enforcement. My son us a policeman,and I worry everyday for his safety. So thank you for the prayers AMEN
DeleteThank you MadFox for your support of our veterans. Wish I could still hug my Dad. He was missing in action in Name. My hubby I can hug. He also was in Nam. Youngest son & middle daughter were both in Iraq over one Christmas, by the grace of God all came back safely with minor dissabilies & PTSD. So yes I love to hug & thank them for my freedom🥰
DeleteYou hugged Dad via your post. JanG thanks for YOUR service too as a military "brat", a wife, and a Mom. Truly triple service. Godspeed.
DeleteThanks Madfox, for your prayers for all, and for recognizing the contempt for those who returned to America from Viet Nam.
DeleteThanks for including them in your prayers.
Perfect words for today MadFox! My Dad and Uncle served well and I know they are being rewarded in Heaven. Jan, so much service coming from your good family. May your Dad continue to realize God's promises. God bless you and your good family.
DeleteSo true Brie. Thanks MadFox for mentioning those who received contempt when they cam back from Nam. They deserve to be respected, thanked and taken care of. Thank you Jesus!
Hugs for Vets! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
DeleteA new day, a new week and its only by Your grace and mercy have I made it. Thank You Father that my family and I are in Your care again today.

Maplewood - wonderful prayer. Amen! KS
DeleteThank you for your prayer. The suffering is real and continues after our Vets are back home. Prayers for our Son and others who seek treatment from the VA.
DeleteMy prayers go out to those seeking good treatment from the VA. Praying they get it.
DeleteAmen sweet Maplewood. Joining in thanks and praise for God and for our good Veterans.
DeleteAmen dear Brie! May they get the good and proper treatment they are due. God bless them always.
Good morning JC friends. It does my heart good to read all your prayers for our veterans. My husband is a disabled army vet, my son-in-law is career Navy and just made Chief Petty Officer. I’m proud to be a military mom and wife and I thank you all for your prayers for my guys and for all our veterans.
ReplyDeleteI think this is only the second time I’ve posted, but I’m here every day. I get so much encouragement from you and you are all in my prayers.
Thanks again and have a Blessed day!
Dee - a special thanks to your husband and son-in-law for keeping our country safe. Glory and honor to them on this special day. May God bless them always. KS
ReplyDeleteAmen KS. Dee--- God bless your husband and son-in-law for all their service! Our military our such special people. I believe they are called by the Lord for their service. I think the same for first responders, firefighters, and police officers. I lift them up daily along with our President, Congress, and those that are in authority over us in any way. It is imperative that we pray over these people as the Word has instructed us. Dee, God bless you that you stand up tall for our military!
DeleteI'm in agreement with you, Dee, about it doing my heart good. My son is a Captain in the Army and I couldn't be more proud. Thank you to your husband, S-I-L, and to you and your daughter. All of your sacrifices are appreciated! Saying special prayers throughout the day!
DeleteJJ- I am in agreement about police, fire...first responders in all areas. Thank you, Lord, for all of Your children who help keep us safe. CO
Thanks JJ, Alomg with you and our JC Family, I, too lift them up daily along with our President, Congress, and those that are, or will be, in authority over us in any way. It is imperative that we pray over these people and I do everyday. I read: When Americans get back down and pray on both knees, then America can get back up and stand on both feet. Amen. Love to all!
DeleteI hear this as an order from God that I am happy to obey:
DeleteOn your knees!
On your feet!
God bless you dear Dee! May He bless and heal your good husband and protect and bless your dear son in law, and give you strength. We are free because of their sacrifice.
DeleteGodspeed and thank you Dee for YOUR service! Wives and mothers of veterans are due a double helping of love, grace, and admiration for the love they provide to military family while away on duty. It sustains them. I know my wife's weekly letter (no email, no phones back then) were fuel to keep going. Your son made the best choice... 😉 a lot of hard work to make Chief, no small feat and the most valuable persons in the Navy, helped this JO out of trouble often. God is good, welcome, post when called, but reading JC was also a Godsend for me. Took almost a year before I posted. Peace.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your service! CO
DeleteThank you MadFox for your generous service. May God always bring you peace and the desires of your beautiful heart.
DeleteThank you warriors for your prayers during my dilemma. My loved one apologized for accusing me of a wrong doing. Hallelujah, truth prevailed! But greater & sweeter yet is reconciliation. The Lord kept my eyes above the waves as He called me out to the water. I was scared, so fearful to trust,that I might sink in despair. This song kept the enemy at Bay,"I am chosen, not forsaken, I am who you say I am, you are for me, not against me I am who you say I am". Amen, PTL! Be blessed warriors to fight another day🥰
ReplyDeletePraise be to God! He was with you each step of the way. Thank you, Jesus. CO
DeleteJan--- I join you in praising the Lord for your reconciliation! What an incredible Lord we serve! He is true to his word and He is our deliverer! Powerful words in that song! The Lord loves you hugely and so do I!
DeleteDear Lord continue to shape me and soften my heart that I may provide full forgiveness to those I think have wronged me. Amen.
ReplyDeleteThe journey continues. Dear Lord continue to move and shape me. Amen.
DeleteAmen ABC. Sharing in that sincere prayer. He adds brush strokes to His masterpieces every day. May we grow closer to Him with each new morning.
DeleteAbsolutely! Jeanne! Thank you! Amen.
DeleteLord, on this day of acknowledging our veteran's, I include in the praise and prayer requests, our fire fighters who are in harms way trying to control the wild fires across our country. Knowing fires are a necessary element in the circle of your nature, help us to know how to fit into that plan.
ReplyDeletePraying a Blessed Veterans Day to all Veteran's and their Families. We’re privileged to honor God and give thanks to Him for all those men and women in uniform, past and present, across the globe who bravely served our country well, so all us can enjoy hard earned freedom.
ReplyDeleteBrie - joining you in blessing, honoring and thanking veterans, families, all those in uniform. We thank you for protecting our country so we can enjoy our freedom.
DeleteGOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
Amen 🙏🏼 ❤
DeleteBlessings from France
Amen Brie and Sassy Mom! Joining your prayers to honor all those who have served, and that includes our firefighters and those on frontlines and hospitals. Thank YOu Jesus!
DeleteMy life is filled with God's Blessings. I am releasing me and gratefully receiving them. To God be The Glory for these and ALL Blessings received:
ReplyDeleteTHANKSVEMBER DAY 10
😊 LARGE: Thank You for ALWAYS BEING HERE, PRESENT and accounted for Blessings.
😊 SMALL: Thank You for light, easy load Blessings.
😊 EASY: Thank You for simple prayers from the heart Blessings.
😊 HARD: Thank You for integrating prayer into every moment of my everyday life Blessings.
😊 SURPRISE: Thank You for Your visible Reignbow Blessing, and the treasury refund blessing.
✝️ FROM JAMES 5: For examples of patience, look at The Lord's prophets. We know how happy they are now because they stayed true to Him then. Job is an example of one who continued to pray and trust The Lord. From Job's experiences we can see how The Lord's Plan ended in God's Good, for God is full of Tenderness, Mercy, and Compassion.
Pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of one based on God's Perfect Righteousness has great power and wonderful results!
🙏 THANKSGIVING PRAYER FOR US:
Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for being such a Good, Good Father and our best friend and confidante forever. Would You help us keep it real simple, talking to You naturally, honestly, and in our own words, as we would with a close trusted friend or relative? And would You help us to always know Yahweh, I Know You Are Here?
In Jesus' Name I ask. I seek. I knock. I praise. I thank. Amen.
Thank You Jesus 😊 💓
ReplyDeleteGuess I'm on the night watch. God woke me from sleep with a song...🎶
ReplyDeleteLong lay the world, in sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks, a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angels' voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
So there you have it to. Back to my pillow 😉
Sweet Audra,
DeleteGlad you were selected for the Night Watch. How happy I was to receive another singing telegram on my awakening. O Holy Night is My absolute favorite Christmas song ever. I enjoy hearing it always. Thanks for blanketing us with His Holy Comforter and your prayers, and thanks to all others who prayed with and for you last night. May your rest be sweet. Enjoy your pillow!
One of my favorite songs for Christmas. I love when we sing it in Choir!!! God bless you all, and may God blanket us in His sweet peace and comfort.
DeleteAmen Audra, Night Watch is a privileged calling. Mostly not me but it's my wife who often gets a 3am call, directing her to Scriptures and issues/people to pray for. Thanks for O Holy Night, just the slightest thought or couple of notes of the tune, has me in tears of worship, utterly undone in His Presence. It always deeply affects me. Thank you for blessing me.
DeleteJoining you and all our JC family in prayer is a daily blessing for me. Good morning and thank you once again, Chris Payton!
DeleteLove,love that song. Thank you Audra for the night watch, we'll take this next watch, you rest🥰. Bless your day.
ReplyDeleteMadFox thank you sir for your service!! Thank you to any other Veterans here in our JC Family. God Bless you! Love, Kathy
ReplyDeleteThank you. It is and was an honor and privilege to serve. I, too, as some have stated, am troubled at the apparent lack of understanding that a democratic republic (founded imperfectly) but without doubt, saved the world in WW2 and the cold war. This country has donated trillions to poverty globally, lived under freedom of religion, and is the single greatest nation in world history.
DeleteWhile I understand that we have political disagreements, I don't understand those who would support socialism as our form of government. Democrat or Republican, we need to heal as a nation, and understand that becoming Venezuela or Cuba cedes the world to the true and present danger of communism... now, principally of the regime of China. May our government leaders on both sides wake up to our current misunderstanding of the world cheering for the USA to fail. God help us and yes, thank you fellow veterans, wives, and children, for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice with their life for our freedom. God bless America. Amen.
In prayerful agreement Madfox. I am also Praying for healing of the divisions within.
DeleteI further pray we honor our Veterans who gave all to protect ONE nation under GOD! May we thank them and gain more ground for them by truly living as ONE NATION UNDER GOD, according to His Words and our deeds. Love to all. Amen.
I am once again reminded of a Church Sign I pass everyday:
When Americans get back down and pray on both knees, then America can get back up and stand on both feet!
Amen MadFox & Brie, Amen!
DeleteAmen. Really looking forward to being healed and unified!! Trusting God to guide our leaders and make all things right.
DeleteGod bless our Veterans who have served and sacrified their lives for us.
Brie! Beautiful post and prayer.
America is America because of the men and women who have fought to keep us free. How very blessed are we?! I join with Brie saying "THANK YOU" to all who have served!
ReplyDeleteMy country, ' tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountainside let freedom ring!
My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free, thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills, like that above.
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees sweet freedom's song;
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break, the sound prolong.
Our fathers' God, to thee,
Author of liberty, to thee we sing;
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by thy might, great God, our King.
NJS, so fitting. America is in trouble. This song is a keen reminder of Who sits on the throne! Hallelujah!
DeleteMy spirit was trying to feel troubled, until I read Ephesians 1, one of our JC Bible Verses for today:
DeleteI pray that you will begun to understand how incredibly great His Power is to help those who believe in Him. It is that same Mighty Power that resurrected Christ and ascended Him into Heaven, seating Him in the place of Highest Honor at God's Right Hand, far, far above any other king or ruler or dictator or leader. Yes! His Honor is far more Glorious than that of anyone else either in this world or in the world to come. And God has put all things under His Feet...the Author and Giver of Everything Everywhere!
Cheer Up Blessings JC Family.
OOPSY! ...you will BEGIN to understand...
DeleteO Well!
Thanks NJS. Just what we need to read and sing today.
DeleteAmen Jan! He is the leader of all of us and He is mighty to save.
I'm glad you comforted your soul, Brie with His word. Just think that God's same power that rose His Son, Christ from the dead is the power that He uses to save our world. Nothing is too hard for Him. He is above all and has authority over all. The whole world is in His Hands.
Amen! Stand guard against those who would disparage this anthem and the founding Fathers. Even "IN GOD WE TRUST", causes embarrassment in certain people these days. Rev 3:11 Amplified Bible
DeleteI am coming quickly. Hold tight what you have, so that no one will take your crown [by leading you to renounce the faith].
As a military daughter, wife & mother, my heart is tender & thankful to those who not only served in my family but to all who served & in service. We owe a debt of gratitude for answering your call to defend our country. God bless you all & God bless America.
ReplyDeleteAmen Jan! You have had your challenges and now your heart has more understanding to comfort those who have been in your situation. You know more than most what great sacrifices they have given. God bless our Veterans and their families!
DeleteGod Bless all our veterans...who gave all they had, for our country. And God bless You, MadFox.
ReplyDeleteLoving Father, thank You for another day to just be in Your Presence. Thank You for knowing and having my days in the palm of Your hand. No matter what I face, I can boldly declare in Jesus’ name, ‘let the morning bring me word of Your unfailing love, because though my love will fail, Yours never will, for I have placed my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, because I do not want to follow my own path. For to you I entrust my life.’ This life You have given me is Yours, and I trust You with everything. (Psalm 143:8).
ReplyDeleteIn order for us to reach the full potential God has for us, we will at times need to push through fear and intimidation due to circumstances we face. Sometimes through physical circumstances or in the realm of our imagination, the lair and thieve sneaks in saying: you cannot overcome me. We are warned to be on the alert for his scheme. Intimidation can be based on spiritual warfare, but we should never forget that we have the Spirit of God, the Word of God and everything needed to defeat the enemy, who is no match for Him. 1 John 4:4 tells us: ‘You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.’
“For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” (2 Timothy 1:6-7).
May God bless our veterans and keep them safe. They gave much for their country. Prayers too for the families of those gone. Blessings and Peace.
Maplewood, NJ
Thank you Maplewood. God's spirit makes us brave and courageous in difficult times. We know that greater is He that is in us than he that is in this world.
DeleteYes and... Prayers for Jeanne as she learns more about her heart healing at today's appointment. And for Mad 🦊 on the road to renewed health. And for our country, it's leaders, all those who serve it and us in every way, we thank you. We worship your Holy Name, Jesus!
ReplyDeleteAmen, Maplewood and Audra. I am joining in your prayers. I woke up singing 🎶🎶 Just A Closer Walk With Thee!
ReplyDelete🎶🎶 HE's Got The Whole World in HIS Hands!
DeletePrayers sending up for you sis Jeanne💕. Jesus has you & not letting go. We love you.
ReplyDeleteYes Jan. He's got Jeanne's Heart in His Hands...
DeleteThank you so much Sisters and Brothers. My cardiologist agreed with the closure specialist that I must have it done. It's scheduled for December 2nd. Spoke to 2 of my kids today and my Mom and Sis. So many prayers will be surrounding me and I have your love and prayers too! Praying for all of you dearest family!
ReplyDeleteHe sure has my heart in His Hands and He lives inside it!
You can count on my love and prayers dear Jeanne! There's no better place for your heart than in His Precious Mighty Hands! ❤❤❤❤
DeleteBlessings from France
Father, please wrap Jeanne up in Your loving, everlasting arms and place Your healing hands on her, like only You can. Give her, her family and friends Your perfect peace, comfort, and strength to endure this most important season Lord. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏. Thank You Jesus. Praise the Lord continually and always.
Delete♥🙏🙏🙏♥ Joining in heartfelt prayers with you, Janet.
DeleteHello Jeaane how are you doing today ?
DeleteFather, I have been feeling a bit overwhelmed and down lately. Please lift me up with You Lord. We need a revival in You Jesus. Please remove the blindness from our eyes and help us to come back to You and Your ways and teach us to stop trying to do it our ways Lord. Please forgive us Lord for turning our backs on You and thinking we know what's best for us, because clearly we do not know much. You are God Almighty and there is no other. Please help us before things get even worse Lord. You are my reason for being and I am so thankful for the gift of You and for the Holy Spirit. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏. Thank You Jesus. Praise the Lord continually and always.
ReplyDeleteAs your days, so shall your strength be. Thank you Lord for extra heavy duty wrapping up Janet in Your Strength today. We invite You and Welcome You. We want You. We need You. We love You with all our hearts.
DeleteAs a child, when my brother asked me a riddle I could not answer, I'd say, I give up and he would tell me the answer. Well Lord, I give up.
I'm awaiting Your Answer.
Giving it up for answers with you, Brie! ♥️✝️🙏
DeleteDear Janet, We all have times of feeling that way, especially now with the rising numbers and uncertain times ahead for our Nation. None of us are looking forward to a cold dark winter inside. We who have the bright light of Christ in us have sunshine on the darkest stormy day. We look for the the spots of light He sheds on our path. We hold onto the Hands that are always within reach. We look far above this earthly fallen world to the hope and truth that never changes. I know you are faced with weakness and temptations but the only way to feel the peace and joy of Christ is to remain in His Presence. We must conciously remind ourselves through our busy days that we are not alone and He is as close as our own breath at every moment. This is what is keeping me going, in gratitude and praise. When I have a hard day when the gray skies get to me, I remind myself that He made this day anyway and it is full of new possibilities. As soon as I say JESUS things turn around. We are so blessed to have such a loyal and constant friend who encourages us every new day. We are daughters of the most High so we can put our heads up and rejoice. Nothing is too great for our Great God. Janet, Brie, and Audra, Let us wait on the Lord together holding hands. We are Sisters as much as I am with my twin sister. We have the same Blood of Christ running through us. Much love.
ReplyDeleteThank you girls. God bless you 🙏 ❤
DeletePlease pray for my friend Tom and his family who have Covid. Thanks. He is in the hospital and struggling, Trusting God to heal them. Thank you Lord for your faithfulness!
ReplyDeleteSo busy with my family this weekend. Just stopping in to say I love you dear JC Family including all the unseen brothers and sisters. Let us continue to come to the Lord with praise and thanksgiving and pray for each other. Have a blessed weekend, and may our good and faithful God answer your prayers and lift and encourage your heart, and heal you and your loved ones. Thank You Jesus.
ReplyDeleteAmen Jeanne! Thank you for your beautiful words. I hope you enjoy your precious time with your family. God bless!
DeleteEnjoy dear Jeanne, enjoy! You hold your family so dearly in your heart. God bless you & your loving efforts, (especially as chef de jour!) To make them happy👏.
DeletePraying that your weekend with your family is the BEST, Dear Jeanne! God Bless you for all of the differences you make among your loved ones. Will be praying each day. Love and Blessings.
DeleteThank you for your prayers and all your wonderful words of love. I cooked up a storm, baked and cleaned and was already to welcome my son's family from Boston when I got a call from Dylan. He said he had bad news. When he was halfway to NY, he got a call from his 2 yr old's daycare school saying one of the kids in his son's class tested positive for Covid. They had to return home to quarantine for 2 weeks. I heard little Leo coughing and I am trusting in God's faithfulness and healing. The 8 month old baby Lucas attends the same daycare. Thanks for your prayers for the whole family especially the 2 babies. Thanks for your sincere prayers! We pray together.
DeleteThank You Father for keeping my family healthy and safe and healing all of their weaknesses in the powerful Name of Christ Jesus. Amen.
Echoing healing, healthy and safe prayers for little Leo, baby Lucas, the parents and your loved ones.
DeleteFinally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. (Ephesians 6:10). But they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31). The LORD is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise Him, my father's God, and I will exalt Him. (Exodus 15:2).
ReplyDeleteHeavenly Father, thank You for Your strength and power. I can't do anything apart from You. I need Your strength to fill me up and Your presence makes me joyful and glad. I'm so happy that You are within me and all around me. You are my living God. You go before me and with me and You hold my hand as we endure the day together. Align our spirits together as one and let us rejoice as we walk through this blessed day. Thank You Jesus. I praise You Lord always and continually. Keep my eyes fixed on You and not on the things of this world. If I start to take my eyes off You, bring them gently back to You and Your loving presence. Let Your face shine upon me as I endure whatever today brings. Grant me the mercy and grace needed for today. Father, I depend on You for everything, including my very next breath. Thank You for letting me lean on You in all things. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen. You are my everything Lord.
AMEN, AMEN!
DeleteAmen! We would be nothing without Him. He lifts my spirit, and strengthens and encourages my heart.
DeleteThe God who equipped me with strength and made my way blameless. (Psalm 18:32). On the day I called, You answered me; my strength of soul You increased. (Psalm 138:3). And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because all the people were bitter in soul, each for his sons and daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God. (1 Samuel 30:6).
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeanne and Janet for the beautiful words and prayers. Today’s devotional is so powerful in putting out how we tend to start our thinking about all the stuff that has to be fine, the struggles and fears each day brings. Personally , I’ve been trying to change that by whispering the name of Jesus for comfort and peace and reminding myself of something I am grateful for.
ReplyDeleteFather God I am thankful for your love and your promises, knowing that you will never leave me or forsake me. Give me strength and wisdom to get through this storm, knowing you walk beside me and that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. May I be open to learn what you are trying to teach me, to trust you with all my heart and not lean on my own understanding. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ!! Shalom, family🙏
Shalom to you brother Rich! Thank you & sister Janet for sharing scriptures & prayers to start our day. Bless this Veterans day for all those who have served and is serving, also for those in law enforcement jobs. God bless you all and "Thank you"💕
DeleteThanks, RiCh for this reminder for which I humbly join in prayer:
DeleteMay I be open to learn what you are trying to teach me, to trust you with all my heart and not lean on my own understanding.
Amen my brother, Whispering His Holy Name is the best way to bring Him to the front of your mind so He will reign in your heart. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.
DeleteAmen Jan! Bless and strengthen all those who serve. "Thank you for your sacrifices".
🎵🎶The God of Peace WILL crush Satan under your feet 🎵🎶🎵
ReplyDeleteBlessed and sharing this prayer.....
ReplyDelete"Lord bless all of the families of veterans and the veterans who are walking through difficult times and physical issues created because they stepped up to protect all of us from evil. Meet the needs in their lives but most of all precious Lord send a great wave of HEALING throughout the land."
Praying a Blessed Veteran's day for all Veteran's. Thank You for your service to our much loved country on our behalf. In Jesus Name Amwn
DeleteAMEN Peter! And MadFox, your reflection is a blessing and beautifully written. Our Vets laid down their lives to bring Love and Peace so that we can be PROTECTED from the Sin of this world. Just as Jesus laid down his life to SAVE us from the Sin of this world. I offer my prayers and petitions to all of the Veterans who fought the good fight and made the ultimate sacrifice in order to spread Love and Peace into our world.
ReplyDeleteRequesting "Storm Heaven" prayers for a young man named Kyle. Details later when I get them. Love you family and thank you for ALL of your prayers, known and unknown, spoken and unspoken, written and unwritten. In Jesus Name amen
ReplyDeletePraying Brie for Kyle, whatever his needs maybe, God already know & has prepared the answers. Amen!
DeleteI, too, am praying for Kyle, Brie. As Jan said, "God knows...."
DeletePraying for Kyle that all will me made right. God already knows!!! Amen Jan and Norah! Thank You Jesus!
Delete1 year later and God is doing a fantastic job with Kyle's health. He was able to go back to work, and travel to attend his fave team's football games. Yeah! GOD and thank you, pray-ers!
DeleteIt's on my heart to include all who need treatment for any ptsd , or those undiagnosed yet to be able to seek and get help, for all those who are suffering because of it. For all whose marriages have been broken, and the children who are in the fallout, and those that are homeless because of it, for all who sacrificed much, yet have received so little, or ignored for those who do not understand, my prayers are lifted up on angels wings with much grace and love. AMEN💝
ReplyDeleteGod is close to the broken hearted and He is the strength in their weaknesses.
DeleteThank You Father for healing all weaknesses in those who are suffering from every kind of sickness, renewing the broken bonds between loved ones, finding shelter for the homeless and helping all those who are lost in any way. Guide their steps, lift their hearts, protect them from sickness and harm, and lead them to joy and peace and fulfillment in YOU. Thank You Jesus.
Thanking the Lord too for those who served and continue to serve to protect us. May this day remind them that they are appreciated. For many years, each morning I have started my day with this blog. I rarely comment, but today I am asking for prayer. Please pray with me for my son and his family, who recently were in a terrible car accident as they were traveling in another state. Physically they were protected by angels. The accident totaled both cars and my son was cited as being responsible. The other party suffered serious injuries that will be ongoing. My son just found out that they don't have enough insurance to cover the needs of the other party and that they will have to pay out of pocket, of which their pockets have little in them. They are strong believers however they are still having trouble finding the Peace that passes all understanding and not worrying about the future ramifications. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteDear Learning to Trust, I'm sorry that I missed this when you originally posted. Praying that one year later, your family has come through this trial and have experienced God's peace throughout . 🙏🙏
DeleteI also missed this post last year, and pray my blanket prayers covering all who come here, were answered. How are things this year?
DeleteDear learning to trust
DeletePraying that a year has changed these circumstances for those injured in a mighty healing way. That your son and his family have too been shown great mercy and unimaginable solutions have come forth in the glorious name of Jesus. That God had shown himself in this process and strengthened all involved, that love shine. If there are still areas that remain unhealed and ongoing struggles that the God of all and everything put it all in order and create peace and restoration in the name of our restorer and Savior Jesus Christ.
Love,
Fern
Today's devotion saved the rest of my day. I woke up eager to go to a Yoga class for the first time in years...a way to celebrate this week of retirement (though it may be short-lived, if I choose to go back for another year).
ReplyDeleteI quickly found out that masks would be required. It would be me and the Instructor in a studio; everyone else joining on Zoom. The thought of an hour and a half of deep breathing with a mask made me quickly realize that I just, couldn't do it. God designed us to exhale all of the Co2 and things we need to get rid of, not recycle it. I could feel the sweet fellowship that I started early on slipping.
Instead, I re-read the devotion, searched the scriptures assuring me that nothing can separate us from the Love of God and texted with my prayer partners and refused to let the adversary mess with my God-Blessed day.
Praying for all of our JC Family and their requests. Thanking God for our Veterans and the service they continue to provide and everything that all of the generations before us sacrificed. Thanking God for our Health, our prosperity and that all needs are met. Praying for more spiritual maturity in my life....and thankful that I can get a grip on reacting over something as insignificant as my early morning 'disappointment' and recognize that I am so completely blessed.
Pray with me, JC Family..."Grow Up Norah!" Shaking my head at myself, but thankful that it didn't steal my joy for long and now I'm LAUGHING. But still saying, "Really Norah???"
I'm glad you decided not to join the Yoga class because you'd have to breathe deeply with a mask. I pray for your breathing every day and God was guiding you to the right decision. Filling yourself with spiritual food was a much better choice. Happy Retirement dear Sister. May we all receive spiritual maturity with each passing day. Please stay just as you are. No need for your lovely inner child to grow up. We are all God's children and always will be.
DeleteO, Jeanne, you always have just the right words. Heading to bed, very thankful for you, my sister in Christ. Love you SO much.
DeleteAs my faith and sight open wider, I experience the love my Father gives me. I use is daily to be at peace in my mind. I look forward to where He may bring me on my journey.
ReplyDeleteI pray that He blesses every one who reads this. I pray that He leads you and guides you in everystep you take on your journey today.
God bless you and your family.
Thanks for the blessing. Just what I needed today. Trusting in God's Plan and His faithfulness. He is the source of my true peace.
ReplyDeleteHe can do all things and I believe His promises. May He guide your steps as you hold His Unchanging Hand.
God bless you and yours in all things.
May all of our Veterans and their families have a God blessed day today and everyday! In Jesus' Name. Amen.
ReplyDeleteYes Brie, bless all veterans & their families. In Jesus' name. AMEN. 🙏💞🌈
DeleteAmen! Thinking of my good father and all those who served. God bless them all, here and gone.

ReplyDeleteToday's devotion reminds us to view challenging days as opportunities to receive more of God's Power than usual.
Update from our Granddaughter, Isabella, for whom you prayed on Nov 1, She completed her interview with a panel of decision makers for her first choice of medical schools.
She said she felt SO calm and SO peaceful during the 3 hour interview, rather than her typical anxiety. She felt confident in her answers, and for the 1st time did not 2nd guess them!
We all know it is because of all of our prayers to a Good Good God!
She is not expecting a decision until next year and would appreciate your keeping her in prayer for the best possible outcome in accordance with His Will. In Jesus' Name. Thy Will Be Done! Amen.
Amen 🙏. Thank You Jesus 😊.
DeleteWonderful news! God is good and hears our prayers.
DeleteSC Anonymous
Way to go, Isabella, on your interview! So glad you had such piece during the 3 hours and no regret with answers!
DeleteWonderful. Thank God
DeleteContinuing to pray for Isabella. Thank You Lord for the calm that You showered on her. As Brie said, "You are a good, good God!" Hallelujah!🙏💞🌈
Delete👏✝️ perfect outcomes for Isabella and us all await ♥️
DeleteHallelujah! More answered prayers. Believing that she aced that interview and they could see she is well equipped. Thank You Jesus!
DeleteGreat Godly results ahead for Isabella! God bless her and keep her!
DeleteLove,
Fern
He gives power to the weak and to those who have no might He increases strength. (Isaiah 40:29).
ReplyDeleteMy soul melts from heaviness; strengthen me according to Your word. (Psalm 119:28). The LORD is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation; He is my God, and I will praise Him; my father's God, and I will exalt His name. (Exodus 15:2).
DeleteI can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
DeleteAnd God's people said," Amen!"
DeleteDearest Lord, thank You. Thank You for empowering me with Your strength as I need it. You always know what I need and when I need it. Your perfect sovereignty is so comforting to me. I feel like Your loving arms are wrapped tightly around me and that I'm protected by You Lord. Let my flesh be quiet and my Spirit be awakened. Light up the way before me and guide me step by step as we walk hand in hand. I praise You Lord always and I love You. Thank You Jesus. Father, watch over and protect all Your children and keep away the evil one. Shine Your face upon us and bless us and keep us. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏.
ReplyDeleteIn the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul. (Psalm 138:3).
DeleteAmen! My prayer for today as well!!!!
DeleteLove your prayer sweet sis. It's mine as well. Thank you for sharing the word. 😍🙏🌈
DeleteThank you dear Janet. You encouraged my weary heart today! I am content in His protection, peace and comfort.
DeleteAnd mine as well! Life is filled with uphill and glorious downhills filled with the relief of coasting in the breeze! Sending love
DeleteFern
I want to take this opportunity to thank MadFox and all of the other veterans who come to this blog. I apologize for not knowing who else here is a veteran. Thank you for service to our God, our country, and to the end of war.
ReplyDeleteJoining you in thanking our dear MadFox and all our veterans in the JC Family and everywhere. Thank you. May God bless you and our country and keep us surrounded with His Peace. Amen
DeleteSharing some good news fam. Went out to teach my nephew how to fly fish yesterday and came back with him as a new believer! That was the first time I had been out doing something with him in many years due to our distance apart. It was awesome! You never know-right. Praise Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit🙏
ReplyDeleteBest Veterans Day gift ever!
May your day be blessed with His strength and peace as you seek and rest in His presence. Shalom 🙏🙏
Ohh how wonderful
DeleteNo brother Peter, you never know when you will be used of God to add yet another lamb to the fold! How sweet that it happened as you were fishing, Jesus reeled one in through you! I have to believe that Jesus has a soft heart for fishermen! Praying for that seed in your nephew to be protected & nourished to fruition. Hallelujah! 🙏💞🌈
DeleteYes, thank You, Jesus, and Praise The Lord for Victory through Rich C.
DeleteFrom a fisherman to a Fisher of Man, just like He said He would!
Rich --- Joining in Celebration and Praise for another VICTORY for our Savior The Lord Jesus Christ! Shouting HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH!!!
DeleteLord, just wash Rich and his nephew AFRESH With The Holy Spirit! Holy Spirit you are the BREATH OF GOD. We would die of spiritual asphyxIation without You. Holy Spirit, You are the OIL OF JOY and the OIL OF GLADNESS. We would sink into the depths of depression without Your presence in our hearts. All praise to The Great I Am, to Jesus, Lord of lords, and King of kings, and our MOST Holy Spirit. HALLELUJAH!!!
Ok, Brie! Love your wording. Could you share a few of your brain cells so I could put good words together? Great Love and Blessings to this Awesome JCFAMILY/WARRIORS!!! JJ
Rich C. Dear Brother, You added to God's flock! What great fruit you produced to glorify him! May your nephew hold tight to his faith through this journey of life, and know that Jesus is available to him always. He is his Good Shepherd forever right into eternity. Hallelujah!
DeleteThanks family! How incredibly amazing that the Spirit worked through lil’ ‘ok me. Your words here have lifted me up and I know are fortifying my nephew on his new journey. I pray that I get the opportunity to talk with His wife as well.
DeleteAmen
DeleteFERRRRRRRNNNN! SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU. HOW IS OUR DAN?
DeleteThanks JJ. Keep doing what you do and being who you are. God loves you "as is" and so do we.
DeleteIn truth, whatever I write that inspires, is in truth, God's Holy Spirit working through me. Whatever I write that makes you keep on scrolling, is probably me getting in The Holy Spirit's way! Much Love and Many Prayers, Brie
Sharing a prayer from my friend and author Beni Johnson today as I join with all the JC prayer warriors!
ReplyDelete"Holy Spirit, show me how you are moving. Help me to stop and focus on what you are doing, and give You thanks and praise for the shifts that are taking place. Lord, I know that whether they are large or small, any shift, any change, any breakthrough is worth celebrating. It reminds me of the power of prayer and intercession. Thank You, Father, for building my faith as I stop and focus on what You are doing and how You are moving. In Jesus's name, Amen!"
Amen and AMEN Audra!!! Thank you for sharing this prayer.There are Great shifts of The Great I Am going on and many more to come. All Heaven is Celebrating and so am I!
DeleteWonderful prayer. Amen. Thank you for blessing my day. As changes and Storms come into our lives, we must stay close to the Unchanging One who remains the same even unto eternity.
DeleteI give Great Honor to our Veterans, worthy men and women who gave their best when they were called upon to serve and protect our country. Rich, I thank you for your service and all those in this JCFAMILY/WARRIORS who served. Bless you, Bless you!!!
ReplyDeleteI Decree: YOU ALL are in His Grip of Grace! JJ
Amen and thank you!!!!
DeleteI am blessed to have my little Gabriel over for a sleepover. We have already painted some Christmas ornaments and cut up planets to make the solar system. He had some apple slices and popcorn and his favorite chocolate milk. Such a sweet peaceful day of arts and crafts with him. May God give us both a sound sleep.Keeping you all in my prayers and trusting God will answer all of ours and heal our weaknesses and those of our dear ones. Thank You Jesus.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great day of accomplishment, thanks be to God! Let me try to prioritize, tired as I am: To our Veterans: MadFox, and anyone else on here - THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! Last night, we were talking to a couple whose Granddaughter was deployed to Japan (or there about - they weren't able to tell us where). She is a young, married mom of a little girl (I think 4 yrs old) and in the Air Force. I was so humbled. We talked to another man, who has children and grandchildren in ALL branches of the Military. I know many who are serving (our young Staffer, who was (is) SO good at his job and was deployed. We are putting his job 'on hold,' and awaiting his return. THANK YOU to all of our Veterans who serve.
ReplyDeleteOur shower was 90% completed today and our house is 60% put back in shape. My DH is awaiting a call on Mon or Tues for a procedure to determine his next steps re: Rx for Barret's. MM counts are all still 'Normal,' and for that we are SO thankful.
I thank all of you for your prayers and believing for us. "The degree to which I strengthen you on a given day is based manly on two variables: the difficulty of your circumstances, and your willingness to depend on Me for help. Try to view challenging days as opportunities to receive more of My Power than usual." ...and this is the story of our lives. God has supplied all of our need, so graciously. He, daily provides, above what we could ask or think. My prayer: 'God, give me the strength to continue on in this journey. Help me separate the wheat from the chaff (one of my favorite poems) and glean only the BEST that You have for me, my fam and all of my JC brothers and sisters. God Bless, JC Family - sleep sweet and expect the best tomorrow. He has us covered!
“A friend is one to whom one may pour out the contents of one’s heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that gentle hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.”
— George Eliot
That describes my dear brothers and sisters in Christ on this page. You've heard it all....and still love me. God Bless You!
Is this the poem to which you were referring, Norah?
DeleteLoss usually hurts,
The more valuable,
The more agonizing.
But there comes a time,
When you must seek loss,
To grow, you must prepare to lose.
You must carefully winnow your world,
To gently separate wheat from chaff
Lest it all becomes contaminated.
You must understand
The strangeness of loss,
Sometimes, it is to us,
A blessing in disguise.
My prayer on this day is that ALL CHRISTIANS UNITE as 1 BODY IN Christ. NO Religion; NO Denomination; Good Discernment --- NO JUDGMENT .... just our beautiful Lord and Savior
ReplyDeleteJesus Christ and ALL of US. I speak Life and Blessings over each one of my Beloved JCFAMILY/WARRIORS and Plead The Flood of the Blood of Jesus over ALL.
Romans 12:5 "So we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually
we are members of one another."
HALLELUJAH!!!
Amen 🙏. We are redeemed by the cross into one body! United we stand firmly against the evil one and firmly planted, grounded, rooted, built up and established in Christ Jesus!
DeleteHallelujah! Amen.
DeleteSuch an awesome prayer, JJ! United in Christ...that's what believers are or can be if we focus on that fact alone, right?! Thank you, JJ!
DeleteBeloved JJ, Echoing your prayer. The same prayer my husband spoke.
ReplyDeleteMay God open the closed hearts of all those who do not know Christ so they too may belong to Him. Praying always for my own family members and all those who have their eyes closed to the truth because they’re focusing on the world and its empty promises instead of on Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. He wants all to come to Him.
ReplyDeleteGalatians 3:26-28
Sons and Heirs
For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Amen 🙏. Colossians 3:11 -- Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.
DeleteAmen and AMEN, Jeanne!
DeleteBut those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31). My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. (Psalm 73:26).
ReplyDelete" I know what each of your days will contain, and I empower you accordingly." Thank You Lord, for Your supply is greater than our needs, Amen.
ReplyDeleteDear Heavenly Father, thank you for your words today. Yes I struggle assessing my daily circumstances fretting over how "I" will conquer the day. Help me to know it is not "I" at all but You that provide me with the means to conquer the day. Each day is assessed by You providing what I need for this day. Thank you Jesus. Today and each day that I walk and strive for sainthood and one day joining you in eternity. Amen.
ReplyDelete#METOO ABC!
DeleteHelp me to know, (and then act as though) it is not "I" at all but YOU that provide me with the means to conquer the day. In Jesus' Name. AMEN !
What if, just for today I am thankful for EVERYTHING including His Empowerment?
ReplyDeleteDear Heavenly Father God,
Thank You for entrusting to me the power of prayer. Thank You for helping me pray to You knowing I am maximizing words that connect Heaven to earth. Thank You for helping me to fully utilize the mysterious Power of Prayer! As my day is, so shall Your Strength be. In Jesus' Name. AMEN!
