I AM CHRIST IN YOU, the hope of Glory. The One who walks beside you, holding you by your hand, is the same One who lives within you. This is a deep, unfathomable mystery. You and I are intertwined in an intimacy involving every fiber of your being. The Light of My Presence shines within you, as well as upon you. I am in you, and you are in Me; therefore, nothing in heaven or on earth can separate you from Me!Colossians 1:27
As you sit quietly in My Presence, your awareness of My Life within you is heightened. This produces the Joy of the Lord, which is your strength. I, the God of hope, fill you with all Joy and Peace as you trust in Me, so that you may bubble over with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
English Standard Version
To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

My Prayer (2022)
Lord, it is indeed a great mystery - how putting my trust in You for my salvation yields you Christ in me. I don't think I fathom what this means at times, of how the hope of Glory and all that comes with Christ now resides in me. That the Holy Spirit is living in me, giving me abundant life for all time. Lord, may you help me further understand this truth, this mystery.

Heavenly Father, Thank You for your everlasting presence in our lives. Though we were made for you, forgive us as our hearts gravitate toward other idols that seem more real, satisfying and less demanding to us but leave us empty. In this busy world, I pray that we seek your presence throughout this day so that we will have Your love, hope, peace and joy which gives us lasting strength. Thank you Lord for always being in our hearts!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Amen!
DeleteThank you Father, in Jesus's name, Amen.
DeleteAbsolutely Jeff! Amen.
DeleteAmen.
DeleteIn Jesus' name, AMEN
DeleteI thank you with all my heart, Heavenly Father!
DeleteThank you and Amen, Jeff!
DeleteThank you Jesus for reminding me to stay in Your Presence today, and to rest in Your Peace.
I can't even imagine my life without the Presence of the Lord! Thank You Father for being my God!
Delete(Changed my profile name from Peter JF Jackson to Peter). Me too, I've gotten so used to His involvement in my life ( took many years though), His Presence, His help, direction. It's so natural now to commit all to Him as I go through the day. I now don't know how those who are not His manage to get through each day. He says that we were never designed to 'go it alone', we were designed 'in Him to live and move and have our being' (forgot the scripture). I love the "You and I are intertwined in an intimacy involving every fiber of your being."
DeleteAmén!
DeleteAMEN!
DeleteAmen Peter! I can't imagine my life without a growing faith and love for the mystery of the Trinity that is always available to me.
DeleteThank you Jeff. This prayer continues to say it best! Blessings and amen to you!
DeleteThe Joy of the Lord is our strength!
DeleteThank you for your beautiful prayer Jeff, Chris snd Jeanne.
I too, can not imagine my life without the presence of the Lord!
Thank you Jesus for your unfailing love

Heavenly Father, thank you for your everlasting supernatural presence which far out weighs anything that may appear to us as trouble. Your goodness and abundant love for us deflects any situation that may try to steal our joy. For our joy is in you and nothing can touch that brilliant light that is your truth. Nothing can get near to the overflowing neverending supply of peace that is available to those who love you. Please Lord open the eyes of those who hold them tightly closed to your love, assist them in their choice to select you. For you are the only way. You are the way and the life. Please LORD ease the suffering of those lost sheep who cannot seem to find their way...please father clear the ramble fron the road so their choice is abundantly clear. Save the lost LORD and lead me as your living proof of the son Jesus christ to comfort the lost in your timing thru the holy spirit. Allow me to hear your small still voice in ypur solution and response to the needs I present to you Father. Thsnk you Lord Jesus for paying the price for my undeserved freedom. I am greatful for ths overwhelming gift and promise for my future. Thank you for the comfort that this provides in my daily life. I love you Jesus.
ReplyDeleteAmen. Thanks for sharing.
DeleteAMEN!!!!
DeleteThank you Linda Travano for your words today. I copied them so I could reread them throughout the day. This morning I woke up struggling to feel the peace. I know I am blessed and loved so I don't understand my moodiness. Thanks again for your words.
DeleteAmen
DeleteLinda Tavano - Amen again to your prayer in 2017.
DeleteJoining into Fern's prayer Thanking You for all You provide in our daily life and for giving us Your Footsteps to follow. Amen
DeleteWow Fern, thank you! I feel like I just went to church and heard a really good sermon. Your prayer is timeless. Now 2020, 3 years later, this is perfect for praying for our loved ones, our country, our planet. I too am I'm going to print out this prayer to look back on. It is a special gift to us here. All Praise, Honor, and Glory to our Waymaker that we may know Him and not just think He's out there somewhere. He is with us. Take care Fern and God Bless you and yours.
DeleteThis prayer prompted my memory of when God showed me what it is like to live with and in Him. What a blessed and peaceful experience that was. Thank you, Jesus, for the promise of that eternal awareness made possible by your sacrifice. Words can not thank you enough. All glory be yours, now and forever, Amen! ♥️✝️
DeleteDear Fern, Your prayer is my prayer and it is timeless and appropriate. May all our unsaved love ones come to Christ. May He open their veiled eyes and soften their hardened hearts. May all in this fallen world answer God's call to Come to Him. In Him are all our answers to the troubles that surround us.
DeleteToday’s reading brings us to a great truth, the intimacy we share with our Lord & Savior. As the reading makes clear in calling it an unfathomable mystery, it is something beyond our finite minds ability to explain or understand. But, as the reading makes clear, this great truth is to be experienced and the way we do this is through taking the time to sit quietly in His Presence to heighten our awareness of the truth. The prayers offered by Jeff and Linda contain the perfect conclusion to this experience, to close with expressions of thanksgiving. It is in the response of thanksgiving that the truth becomes sealed to our heart. When the heart is thankful, the doors are left wide open for the Joy & Peace to come rushing in. Oh, to have a thankful heart!
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Bob!
DeleteSeeking, knocking and asking because He is with me always and ever faithful.
I love your beautiful and true words: When the heart is thankful, the doors are left wide open for the Joy and Peace to come rushing in.
Amen and Amen!
Opening my heart with confidence today, knowing what is inside.
DeleteDear Jesus, I am so grateful for the many many ways you are revealed to me. When in times of weakness, when I feel alone, you reveal yourself to me. I realize you have never left me. Please help me to continue to open my heart, more than my eyes, to see you in all I do. Help me to see mysteries not as a stumbling block in my faith but an opportunity to strengthen my faith! Amen.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful prayer dear ABC.
DeleteGod when will I be happy with this messed up life.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
ReplyDelete"Open my eyes that I may see,glimpses of truth Thou hast for me; Place in my hands the wonderful key. That shall unclasp and set me free."
ReplyDeleteDear Lord,
ReplyDeleteYou are good! You are merciful! You are love! You are fair! You are kind! You are patient! You are compassionate! You are all of these things so much that you died for me, a horrible sinner who gave into my own desires and worldly wants for years, decades... Thank you God for loving me!!!!
You are Supreme, Eternal, Boundless, Relentless, and All-knowing! You knew the mistakes I would make before I made them, you forgave me the second I whispered in My Heart Lord forgive me. And you turn the bad things into something you could use for you work all things together for good for those who love Jesus!
Your timing is perfect, you are ever present. You knit me and formed me in my mom's womb. I am fearfully and wonderfully made and you have great great plans for me!
So today I stand for on Your Love, Your Providence, Your Salvation and I walk forward in courage and kindness. I will not grow weary for I have hope! Hope for a full life in Jesus, hope for your smiling face to shine down upon my heart, hope for your loving hand to touch the lives of others through me. No weapon formed against me shall prosper! No not one! For you are my Lord, my Protector, my Guide. You have given me armor that my enemy cannot break through. The armor of God! Today Lord I will stand my ground by putting on the belt of truth and the armor of your righteousness. Help me to know the truth of Your Word and to always do the right thing according to that truth. I prepare myself for this day by putting on the shoes of peace that surpass understanding. I have this peace by always remembering what Jesus did for me. Today I hold up the shield of faith. Faith in who you are and the victory won stops all the attacks to me. This battle has already been won for it is written "IT IS FINISHED!" The enemy's fiery arrows will not penetrate my shield of faith for his Victor is my Protector! I wear salvation for my helmet and I always remember Calvary and that my God is fully alive!
I take up Your Word as my sword!!!! And I pray pray pray in the spirit at all times on every occasion!!!!
Lord I ask that you send your Holy Spirit as my helper in all of these things. Help me to Love You Lord and help me to Love Others. Help me to remember that we are not fighting against flesh and blood but against evil spirits. And that we have the power of Jesus Christ! Help me to be alert and persistent this day. Help me to be discerning. But most of all help me to LOVE.
Unknown - Amen!!!! Beautiful Armor of God prayer in 2018.
DeleteAmen!!
DeleteI am praying with you Unknown. Your prayer is still relevant for our life in 2020.
DeletePraise God you heard that still small voice in your heart! God is so good! And now you're writing words of a mature Christian - beautiful words that can only be known from your experience with your Christian walk. Thanks for your beautiful contribution!
DeleteIf you only read comments made in 2020, you don't want to miss joining in this prayer:
DeleteLord I ask that you send your Holy Spirit as my helper in all of these things. Help me to Love You Lord and help me to Love Others.

Amen and Amen Unknown. Your strength of faith and gratitude inspired me and lifted me high. We are all sinners made free by the Blood of Christ. We all have so many reasons to be thankful and rejoice. Our God is above all earthly things. He sees all and knows all and He belongs to us as we do to Him. We can rest peacefully with this blessed assurance. He is our loving Father who will be with us till we see His face in our celestial home in the skies. Thank you Jesus!

DeletePlease pray for my daughter Debbi who is having an endoscopy at 1:00 PM today Wednesday. She is the one who had a stress test a few weeks ago. She passed stress test with flying colors.
ReplyDeleteLifting Debbie up in prayers for a successful endoscopy. As it was well with her stress test, so will it be with this test. God remains the same! Faithful!!
DeleteMaplewood NJ
Praying for your daughter Debbi. May the comfort of God's loving arms wrap Her in His cloak of love and peace.
DeletePraying for Debbi. May God bless her always. KS
DeleteCovering Debbie wirh prayers. FATHER, place Your skills and wisdom on the hands of the doctors and nurses. May Debbie receive Your favor with anyone that looks upon her and the test results will read--ALL CLEAR. In Jesus's name Amen and Amen
DeleteFather God, once again we come to you for Debbi & once again in faith to bring her through this test also. Thank you Jesus. Amen
DeleteI woke up renewed - and to be reminded that it is Christ in me, the hope of Glory, resonated in every area of my life. It's as if a cloud has lifted from me - the cloud that hung over me from Monday until the middle of the night last night, when I knew I was healed in the name of Jesus Christ. I've had spotty internet and felt so detached from everyone. Then I remembered that God is closer than my very breath and that my JC Family prays whether I'm on here or not. To read the last couple of days blessings, breakthroughs, answers to prayer, is a blessing. We all have our days when it seems bleak; our health isn't where it should be or our thoughts stray from the Truth.
ReplyDeleteHelp me to remember in those times, Lord, that you haven't moved...I have - for whatever reason and it makes the healthy, rested, blessed days stand out that much more. I lift Debbie to you, Father, and that her endoscopy (on my phone reminder). Bless her with peace and for Sassy Mom's confident prayers for her daughter. That all of JC Prayer Warriors, take a minute to pray for a wonderful outcome.
Lifting all of you this day, wherever you are in your walk, in your life, that our Father has promised to deliver us from the hands of the wicked, through His son, Christ Jesus. God in Christ in us, the Hope of Glory - keep that in the forefront of my mind today.
Also praying for a clear mind today, free from the 'bug' I had; that I can focus, prioritize and knock out the work. Praying for my cases; that there is resolution for so many waiting on a breakthrough. That people see your Light of Hope through me, hear your Word in my words and revel in your matchless Word.
MadFox, praying for your breakthrough, thanking you for your service, praying that there is a breakthrough from the disappointment that you seem to be feeling. I know for me, it has been a yearning for the simpler days - when we were all under one roof and the answer to prayers didn't rely on a phone call or text that assures me all is well. Praying that the anxiety that I have felt in recent years around the holidays doesn't entrap me. Let me live each day to the fullest, honoring you, Father, and take each day as it comes.
Sorry I'm rambling - it's a blessing to be back on here, able to pray as I type and read your specifics.
Have a blessed day...
Norah
sweet, sweet Norah. Thank you. my prayers for you remain as well. 🙏😊
DeleteGood words, Norah - I too yearn for the simpler days. But God will see us through everything. KS
DeletePraying that all is going well today for you dear Norah. Hope your hubby's leg is getting better and you are breathing well. Holding onto your beautiful words: that our Father has promised to deliver us from the hands of the wicked, through His son, Christ Jesus. God in Christ in us, the Hope of Glory
DeleteDear Norah, Praying you are getting a bit more rest now and your lungs are strong and you're feeling well. And your DH is doing better. This new chapter in your life will be such a blessing. But please rest a while and get your strength back.
DeleteGood day to you, Norah. I am doubling down on this prayer from a previous year. Due to such differences of opinions about what is "safe" for us to do to be together this season..."Praying that the anxiety that I have felt in recent years around the holidays doesn't entrap me." I ask, I pray in Jesus's name.🙏
DeletePrecious Lord, what a Joy, what a Blessing to be in Your Presence this day and being reminded that You are Christ in me the hope of Glory and not only that, but You who walk with me, holding my hand, is the same ONE who Lives within me! Hallelujah!! Father, thank You that the former mystery, now understood, is that Christ in us is the hope of our future! Wow!
ReplyDeleteJC family, what great news!! The Holy Spirit seals us for the day of redemption (Ephe. 4:30), meaning, the Spirit’s presence in our hearts guarantees our ultimate salvation. Though we are in this world, we are not of it (John 17:16). God will continue to work in us until He is finished perfecting us (see Phil.1:6)! VICTORY, VICTORY, HALLELUJAH to the KING!
Wow! Thank You Lord!
A great and blessed day all and Remember, Christ in You is the Hope of Glory!
Maplewood NJ
I hear you Maplewood and I add my AMEN and HALLELUJAH to our KING!
DeleteAmen and Halleluia! Praise His Holy Name forever!
DeleteAmen! Thank you Maplewood, I'm struggling to keep my feet on the ground after reading your post. I feel like doing cartwheels through the air ( maybe one day I shall-in Heaven), it's so good to be reminded of our heritage our inheritance through Jesus Christ our Lord.
DeleteNorah, Jan, JJ, MaryOKC, CO, and many others. Thank you for your kind words and prayers. It has been a season of challenges to my thinking as a father and husband. A season of finally understanding, that life is precious and my years are numbered. A time for profound changes in my work life and thus my thought process about the future. I am not a worrier or a person who stubbornly sticks to old methods or thinks too highly of himself. I seek God's grace and hope to be about His work both secularly and in Christian community. But having said all that, am still in a situation where some leading of the Spirit and a practical path forward would be nice to "see". So prayers to that end have been very nice. Thank you. Don't cry for me Argentina (ha ha) or JC community! In God's timing, all will be made clear. Peace and Godspeed friends.
ReplyDeleteYou are in my thoughts and prayers today, MaxFox. I can relate to your situation of needing the Holy Spirit to guide you on the path that He creates. I'm there too. Peace and joy to you today and always.
DeleteMadFox---Your post reminded me of the Psalm 130:5 "I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His Word I hope," Great peace and Godspeed to you MadFox. You are loved.
DeleteI have no idea how old you are, MadFox, but from your posts, I've figured we are around the same age...the posts, the waking up, the pondering our future, etc. You are a mighty man of God and for that, I'm thankful! I know you will hit a 'REBOUND,' and, as a mighty woman of God, that assures me that I will too! Blessings and continued prayers...for both of us...for all of us! :)
Delete...and that was from me, Norah. I keep forgetting with my shotty internet, I'm not signed on. UGH!
Delete:)
You dear Brother are surrounded by sincere prayers and love beyond words. God has prepared a sweet path of bright light in front of you. Rest in that assurance. He is the Way Maker and He never sleeps.
DeleteI pray in Jesus' name all prayer requests listed here are answered if it be your will. If this is not Your will, help us to accept it, and our journey that has been specifically written for each of us. Amen.
ReplyDeleteAs I was leaving for work this morning, I stepped outside to get into my car and as I walked to the garage, I happened to glance to my left at the sky to see a full moon lighting my path. Then I glanced to my right to see the most breathtaking sunrise that I've seen in awhile. The sky was so red/pink/orange that it looked like it was on fire. I wish I could upload a photo for you all, but a photo wouldn't do it justice. It was God's painting in all His splendor and glory. In my morning prayers this morning, I asked for signs. I got them!
ReplyDeleteSuzanne--- Isn't our Lord incredible!!! Great blessings on your day and with the Lord's unusual favor surrounding you.
DeleteSuzanne, God has been revealed to me in LIGHT many times. Especially when there has been nothing but darkness in my life. Many blesings as God is revealed to you in this way!
DeleteAmen! His glory in the sky is always a wonder to behold because He is the greatest artist and always will be.
DeleteHumbly praising and thanking my Lord. Just now got the message about endoscopy. No bleeding in the stomach area. The nurse tried 3 times and apologized before she got needle in her vein. Her arm is very swollen and blue. Debbi said she is better shape than the others coming from endoscopy. One was a nursing home patient, the other a prisoner, shackled arms and legs to the gurney. Praying he has repented. Debbi was sick Monday and Tuesday with a fever, suffering anxiety and didn't sleep Tuesday night. She is home thankful,relaxed and ready to sleep. Giving thanks to my faithful JC Warriors for all the prayers. I love ♥ you.
ReplyDeleteIt is 3:07 my time, 2 hours after the endoscopy. Thanks again for praying.
ReplyDeleteI was in Lowe's, during my lunch break, when my reminder came up...'PRAY FOR DEBBI' - I stopped what I was doing and thanked God for her life and a wonderful result of the test. Thank you for sharing, Sassy Mom...the reason I hopped on here again (and got so, very blessed). Hubby is holding The Five - have to run. To God be the Glory!!
DeleteNorah
I've just read all of the prayers and posts for the day,and have said prayers for each of you along the way. God is good! This JC Family is such a bright spot, each person sharing requests, prayers and songs of thanksgiving. Thank you, Jesus, for holding our hands and living within each of us! Thank you for giving us strength, joy, hope, peace and love! May we each see and feel You within us as we experience each moment of today. CO
ReplyDeleteChrist the King,
ReplyDeleteWe truly invite you to be our King.
Reign in our hearts.
Reign In our minds.
Reign in our wills.
Reign in our lives.
We truly recognize Your Kingdom as not of this world... Yours is a "Kingdom of truth and life, a Kingdom of holiness and Grace, a Kingdom of Justice, Love, Mercy and Peace," which we get glimpses of here on earth, but will be fully revealed to us at the end of time, when God will Reign Supreme as our all in all. Then our desire to taste and see the goodness fruits of The Lord will attain its fulfillment,"Thy kingdom come." Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Hallelujah.
DeleteAmen!

✝️ FROM MATTHEW 7
Ask and you will be given what you ask for.
Seek and you will find what you are seeking for.
Knock and you will have the door opened wide for you by The Lord.
For everyone who asks, receives. Anyone who seeks, finds. When you knock, the door opens wide for you by The Lord.
(Even now! Even us!)
🙏 THANKSGIVING PRAYER FOR US:
Dear Heavenly Father God, Thank You for
Your Abundancy and Your Generosity. We can look up and count the leaves on the trees, or look down and count the leaves off the trees and every blade of grass to see that You are A God of Continual Abundancy. Would you help us bring all requests to You in Prayer and get it through our head that no prayer request is too big for You; no prayer request is too small for You; all prayer requests are Jussst Right? Would you help us choose today to bring every prayer need and every declaration of Thanksgiving to You, especially those that our finite mind considers too big or too small in the earthly realm? Would You give us more faith in Your Heavenly Realm? And, would you teach us Your Math and tutor us in the slow group until we get it?
In Jesus' Name I ask. I seek. I knock. I praise. I thank. Amen
Amen. Thank you Brie. Joining you in your prayers. Praise the Lord forever more. Thank You Jesus.

ReplyDeleteI will praise Him first! Patti had her 4 month post transplant appointments this week and all is doing so well that her next appointment in ONE YEAR from now! God is good!!
Now I ask you to keep my sweet mother in your prayers for healing. A large mass was discovered today. It is pressing against her bladder and preventing her kidneys from functioning. As soon as they can stabilize her kidney function, she will have a biopsy to determine what we are dealing with and it’s exact location. Please pray for her.
Heavenly Father I ask that you heal my mother if it be your will! I ask for guidance for her doctors, nurses and our family! I ask that you protect her from pain! In your precious son, our Lord Jesus’ Name! AMEN!!!
Father, please place Your healing hands on Bamagrl's mom and do Your will. Give them Your peace, love, comfort, and strength to endure this time in life Lord. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏. Praise the Lord continually and always. Thank You Jesus.

Thank you for this and for comforting Bamagrl's worried mind and heart. Thank you Jesus!!!
DeleteThank You Jesus. As long as You are with me Lord, anything is possible. Thank you everyone for all your prayers, love, and blessings. I am so grateful for this beautiful family I have here on this site. It is truly a gift from God. Praise the Lord continually and always.
ReplyDeleteAmen Janet
DeletePraisimg God with you, our Good God from Whom all blessings flow.
Amen and another Amen!
DeleteThe Lord bless you and keep you this day and always, Janet. God be with you.
DeleteWe love you dear Sister Janet! Praise Him with every breath and with rejoicing, song and even a dance. This family means more to me than I can express. Love you all! Thank you Father!
DeleteGood I am grateful for today. It is a complete miracle to even be existing at all. The god there is inside of me I want to take this time and acknowledge and thank you for it. Good I just ask for your will to be done today in my life. Whatever that is meant for me today I accept and want because I am so curious to hire things are supposed to be in my life.
ReplyDeleteBuckle up, Xavier, in so praying as you have, get ready for quite the ride this day. All will be well. God be with you!
DeleteDear Xavier, You are seeking him with you heart and mind and soul and He knows it. He is with you now and will never leave you. Stay in His presence and live to please Him. He loves you beyond any words.
DeleteXavier, It is my belief that God created free will and you lead your decisions by groaning in His Spirit to the Father through the Son for discernment as to what will best lead you and others (friends, customers, co-workers AND Strangers) to live in His Spirit. My pastor and friend once or even many times (I'm a slow learner in the faith journey!!) that God x3 will redeem whatever path you decide with a contrite heart.
ReplyDeleteGod is love and goodness, man via sin corrupts that into his evil desires and thus can also damage His will for all things to be good. You're seeking here... that is a good sign. Live your BEST life by using your God given acquired and genetic talents to spread the Kingdom in all that you do. Sarah as JC says today, and it is so on point for all of us... and obviously it pricked your good heart today Xavier: "Joy of the Lord, which is your strength. I, the God of hope, fill you with all Joy and Peace as you trust in Me, so that you may bubble over with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
I have shared a little but God didn't give me cancer, some electronics perhaps when I flew in the Navy, or flying commercial I read even a cosmic eay traveling at the speed of light could have entered and damaged a single cell in my blood recently, or I drink diet drinks with known carcinogens as a sweetner. I got a rare type and it could trim my lifespan (or not) but it cannot destroy my joy or my 35+ years in the customer service business. Thus I'm determined to get great service and technological advances by choice as I take on this battle with JC Prayer Warriors (thank you), friends, church family and my own family praying for good outcomes. How do I create a culture change in my little world of a customer serviceLESS medical industry?? Well, I believe God expects me to do so by first building rapport and loving the strangers and staff I'm going to be around for the next four months. Even though we are wearing masks they see my smile in His Spirit. You and all if us can do that everyday. So pick a path in faith and Carpe Diem!! Agape and Amen.
MadFox - your words are always so insightful and soothing. With all your own current difficulties, you still help us all. Thank you. KS
DeleteI agree with KS. You amaze us with your strength and positivity MadFox. You truly live by faith and it is so wonderful to see. Continued prayers for you during treatment. May the Good Lord bless you with his healing powers.
DeleteTJ
KS and TJ, Virtual hug for the kind words! God is at work as BobM said yesterday. It is too early to provide a proven trend update (Day 10) but I estimate through this blog and the prayer lists and my church and other lists and groups - that I literally have thousands praying for me... how can I not have joy as I tentatively see progress and my doc says I look great. ** Joy in the Lord is a contagion virus I intend to spread! ** I simply am sharing the reality of the path before me. Godspeed JC family, enjoy the weekend.
DeleteAnd there will be setbacks that is the nature of this disease. I choose not to share the few small challenges to date, I've had them but I refuse to allow whatever time I have to wallow in pity. God has blessed me with much to be gratefull for. My Team Madfox motto is this: Never give up, Never Surrender. Show a gratitude attitude every day." it's on a white board where we list things we are grateful for in our kitchen as I go through chemo each day. The first part is from a Tim Allen movie, a Madfox family comedy fave, spoof of star trek and star wars. The 2nd part was shared by a new friend.
DeleteMadFox, you are in my daily prayers as is how grateful I am to have and be part of this incredible JC family. It still amazes me how I happened upon this site at the beginning of the year due to my having trouble with my kindle app that held my JC book. I felt the evil one's attempt to keep me from my JC morning reading and I was NOT HAVING IT! What an enormous blessing in my life to be part of this group!
DeleteI have to share a song that has SO touched me during these tense months in our world and country...
It's Zach Williams's song (with Dolly Parton), "There was Jesus". I implore one and all to take a listen to it. The premise being Jesus is ALWAYS there throughout everything we've gone thru or are going thru!
Every time I try to make it on my own
Every time I try to stand, I start to fall
And all those lonely roads that I have traveled on
There was Jesus
When the life I built came crashing to the ground
When the friends I had were nowhere to be found
I couldn't see it then but I can see it now
There was Jesus
In the waiting, in the searching
In the healing, in the hurting
Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces
Every minute, every moment
Where I've been or where I'm going
Even when I didn't know it
Or couldn't see it
There was Jesus
For this man who needs amazing kind of grace (mm-hmm)
For forgiveness and a price I couldn't pay (mm-hmm, mm-hmm)
I'm not perfect so I thank God every day
There was Jesus
There was Jesus
In the waiting, in the searching
In the…
Please search it out and take a listen. When we pause to realize Jesus is with me always, it gives me such comfort.
Blessings & praise to our heavenly Father and to one and all in this awesome JC Fam!
This is a great new song it is in the Spotify top 20 Christian song Playlist which was the Playlist I randomly selected during my providential mountaintop sunset prayer encounter with God in the present instead of the usual seen in hindsight. Dolly is amazing in the song, she can still sing beautifully at age 74.
DeleteThanks NJS & MadFox for steering me to this great song. Is it not the essence of all the JC readings that have brought us together? It gets me ready to head to TN tomorrow. God be with you!
DeleteThank you dear NJS for that wonderful and powerful song. It is more than a coincidence that you and MadFox were led to this song and now it comforts all our hearts. He is always in the pictures and He says Do not be afraid. I believe Him. Amen MadFox, Dolly is so amazing that no matter what age she is, her voice moves me to the core. Beautiful and heartfelt message just at the right time. When we wait and search for answers, Jesus is always there.

Loving Heavenly Father, Thank You for causing me to hear Your loving kindness and tender mercy this morning. The powerful and profound truth about who I am in You, is that when Christ entered in me and became my life, He sanctified me and set me apart for His glory! I rejoice because I have Him as my Holy guest. Thank You that He alone is my foundation for the blessed hope in the future. Christ in me is my High Priest who is interceding and giving me immediate access to You. Thank You that Christ in me is my hope of glory and my ONLY hope for this world in which I live. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
ReplyDeleteChrist in us as Paul tells us, is the greatest mystery of all! It is a great miracle, it’s our hope of glory and it’s our glorious riches. It is a fact that cannot be understood in detail without divine help. There is so much more to this, but what really matters is not who we are, but Who is in us. This is the ultimate victory, because He who came to destroy the works of the satan will certainly destroy them in us. Christ hope of glory is the fulfillment of God’s promise to restore us and all creation (Romans 8:19–21). This hope of glory includes our resurrection. Romans 8:11 says:“If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.” This thought of hope is not wishful, it is expectant, it is the confident, joyful knowledge that we are being changed by God and will definitely one day see Christ Jesus face to face, having been conformed to His very image. Our once dead, darkened spirits will be made alive. His presence in us is the hope of this glory, and it is the truth full of “glorious riches.” With Christ Jesus in our hearts, we know that there is absolutely life beyond this earthly existence, a wonderful life that will be glorious beyond all our imagination.
Father, We thank You that "Christ in us" means that He is bearing us along from within, it means that His motive and power carries us on, giving our whole life a wonderful sense of Your presence. Thank You Lord, that this blessed union with Christ is a vital union with You, because the more we are in Christ Jesus, the more we are in You. Amen.
Blessings and Peace.
Maplewood, NJ
Well said, Agape and Amen...Former Berkley Heights NJ Neighbor!!
DeleteAmen. You said it all and you blessed my heart so much. I feel like I got a big hug from my Father just through your words.
Delete"This thought of hope is not wishful, it is expectant, it is the confident, joyful knowledge that we are being changed by God and will definitely one day see Christ Jesus face to face, having been conformed to His very image. Our once dead, darkened spirits will be made alive." This is the last thing I'm reading tonight, Maplewood, and I thank you for the reminder, love and commitment.
ReplyDeleteSleep sweet, JC Family. God never sleeps.
<3
Our Dear Norah,
DeleteDear Heavenly Father God,
Would you help us in ALL circumstances to let Christ, be our ONLY Savior and our King?
Would you renew in us allegiance to Your Kingship, O Lord rather than in President Trump or President-Elect Biden?
I pray for Your Perfect Grace for us to place YOU ABOVE all the earthly powers of this world, and above all things.
O Heavenly Prince of Peace, may Your Heavenly reign be complete in our life and in the life of each of our Dear Ones. I ask. I seek. I knock. I praise. I thank. In Jesus' Name. Amen
PS Would you help us recognize and dispel satan's attack to divide our families and our world, because it knows divided, we cannot stand up for You.
Amen! God is above all and mighty to save and mighty to unite us in Him and heal our infirmities of body, mind and spirit! Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. We shall overcome because we never walk alone.
DeleteStopping in to say thank you for your prayers for Dylan and his family. Their Covid tests all came out negative and they were not the rapid tests but the real ones. I pray they will continue to test negative and little Leo's cough will go away. I have a lot going on but I will talk about it with you very soon. Much get my rest. Going to Brooklyn with a lot of food and toys in the morning. Much love and gratitude.
ReplyDeleteThank You Father for blessing us and healing our weaknesses, strengthening us in every possible way, answering our prayers and leading us to the rest we need in Jesus' Name we prays.
Hallelujah! Another victory in Christ Jesus! Thank You Jesus! Mercy travels for you Jeanne. Enjoy your trip and make some more precious memories that you will treasure for a lifetime. God bless!
DeleteI'm so thankful to read this, Dear Jeanne! Praying for safe travels for you in the morning and imagining the joy that all of your food and your PRESENCE will bring to your family. Sleep sweet and know that you are in my prayers.
DeleteThanks Janet and Norah! We did have some special times today especially when my Mom met her two grandbabies for the first time.
DeleteI sure will have some good sleep. Hope you both get your rest too. Much love!
Thank you everyone for your prayers and words of encouragement yesterday:).
ReplyDeleteThat’s wonderful news Jeanne-thank you Jesus! I’m praying for all of you today and hope that your day is filled with joy and peace, abounding in hope, and confidence in his promises. Hallelujah!! 🙏
Thanks dear Rich! Amen. Thank You Jesus! He is just so good to us.
DeleteI will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; (John 14:16). You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29:13). No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us. (1 John 4:12).
ReplyDeleteThank you for the gifts of the Holy Spirit Lord!!! May we all spend our day aware and enjoying them! 🙏
DeleteThanks for the good food for my soul sweet Janet! I sure rely on His Spirit inside me. He abides in us as we abide in Him. and His love is perfected in us.
DeleteAmen dear Audra! I did my best to spread His love, peace and joy to my family especially those who do not believe. I tried my best to control my emotions. When little Leo picked up a small wooden crucifix. I said that is God who we love. Immediately Erica said: "Leo, Put that toy down". I immediately said: "That is not a toy, it is The Cross". Then I left the room because I did not want to lose my peace. I also leaned on my long suffering today. Had so much to do that I was patiently waiting to rest. Resting now. Thank You Jesus.
"The One who walks beside you, holding you by your hand, is the same One who lives within you."
ReplyDeleteI just want to be where You are. https://youtu.be/PbK4ujrt0Yk
Halleluia! Thanks Sassy Mom. We have a very present help in times of trouble.
DeleteThat is such a beautiful song! I love the harmony and the lyrics. Thanks dear Sister. Just shared it with my Mom, my Sis and my Bible Group. You fed us well.
Heavenly Father, thank You for always being with me and giving me such joy in my heart and soul. You are so amazing and wonderful. You are the best Father ever. Help me to always keep You first and foremost in my heart, soul, mind, body, and life and when I am distracted from You, bring my eyes back to You. You are my saving grace and thank You for my salvation. You pulled me up from the depths of my despair and put me on solid ground. You opened my eyes to You and the truth of Your word. You gave me forgiveness, mercy, grace, and love. Your perfect peace permeates my soul, mind, and heart. There is nothing like it. I praise You Lord always. Thank You Jesus. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen.
ReplyDeleteWonderful reading from Jesus Calling and ALL the scriptures from all the posts. I feel as though today I've been to spiritual banquet. Now I have time to digest/reflect on all, to assimilate all the Heavenly nutrition, savor each tasty morsel. Bread of Heaven feed me til I want no more.
ReplyDeleteAsking all of you JC Prayer Warriors to please pray for me. We have our Family Photo today(outside and it's only 37 degrees). I woke up congested and with a headache. I have to make food and be on the outdoor trail by 11:00 - a little over 2 hours. There will be 20 of us and I have so looked forward to this day. So, I am believing for a miracle and asking for your help. Praying for each of you, as well.
ReplyDeleteI will report a VICTORY this evening.
THANK YOU!!
May God grant you a miracle of strength and may your inner and outer beauty shine so much that you will be the beautiful beacon among your family in that Family Photo.
DeleteLord turn Norah's health around. Please relieve her of her headache and cough. Bless her day and make it a sweet memory to all who join in. Lord please multiply the work of Norah's hands allowing her to prepare a banquet before her guests. Please send ones with servant hearts to assist her. Thank you Lord for knowing what your daughter needs.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed, stress free day dear Norah.
Thank You Lord and my Dear JC Family! ALL went perfect and I feel great! Only God and the faithful prayers, could have pulled this off. We were on time, the chili is made and everyone was HAPPY! We are back home and doing some food prep (those faithful servant hands you prayed for TERRI are what is allowing me to drop this note). Love and God's Best to all of you!
ReplyDeleteThanking God all went well dear Norah! I'll bet your chili was just delicious and you looked beautiful. Stay well and strong dear sister.
ReplyDeletePraying for you sweet Terri that you are recovering well and your family are all doing much better too! Thank You dear Father for all this in Jesus' Name we pray.
Please pray for my friend Scott who is in remission from colon cancer and just tested positive for Covid. Unfortunately I saw him last Wednesday and I hugged him without my mask. So please also pray for me and my family. I will be getting tested this week. And I sure will wear my mask everywhere. Thank God I have no symptoms and I am double vaccinated and got my Booster. Trusting in God's faithfulness.
ReplyDeleteAbide in Me, as I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. (John 15:4).
ReplyDeleteHeavenly Father, thank You for the hope of Your glory. I praise You Lord always. I may not understand a lot of things, but that's okay because my God knows EVERYTHING! God has prepared His plan for His purpose according to His power for His pleasure. God is praiseworthy. Lord, please let Your light shine upon me brightly and Your perfect peace permeate within me. Let it flow abundantly and continually, bubbling up and overflowing into the lives of others. Let Your glory be manifested in and through me. I want others to know You and Your mighty power. Thank You Jesus. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏.
ReplyDeleteGlad Janet made it safely and you are enjoying spending time together. Praying our heavenly Father will touch your eye with His healing hands and remove the affliction. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏. God bless.
ReplyDeleteLord Jesus, thank You for Your life within us.
ReplyDelete"Christ in you the hope of Glory." Amen!
2 Corinthians 5 "Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come."
Thank God for the deposit of the Holy Spirit!
It is He who guides us and teaches us all things and reminds us.
John 14:26, “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.”
Precious encouragement, thank You Lord.
Shine, Jesus Shine

DeleteI’ m a long time reader and first time writer here. Like many of you I’ve grown to love this JC family and often pray with you all for the many petitions. You can count on my continued prayers. This blog has been such a blessing to me as it has been for many others. Today I ask for prayers for my marriage- I believe the enemy has a hand on this. My wife is moving out in 2 weeks and we are figuring out the children.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you all -
“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matt. 18:19–20.)

No matter what the circumstances, God can restore your marriage/family from all things. Blessings to you, Blessings from NY. So glad you posted. JJ
Amen! Joining in this declarative prayer for the aforementioned marriage and family. And to any others that may seem to be teetering on dissolution.
DeleteI appreciate your presence here and your share along with the request of prayer. As a father of now grown children, I have shared a similar path when my children were young. Sharing a tear here with you.
DeleteThank you so much everyone for all your prayers! I can feel them helping ❤️

The Lord knows your pain...resonate on that and thank him for allowing your broken heart to cry out to him with hope for a better marriage and more Godly union.

DeleteNice article
ReplyDeleteArise, shine; for Your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. (Isaiah 60:1). When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. (Colossians 3:4).

DeleteSorry. I was having a hard time posting.
DeleteSo blessed by today's scriptures Chris Payton added to each days reading. So blessed, thank you Chris.
ReplyDeleteWhat if, just for today I am thankful for everything, including Christ's Being within me and the Hope of His Glory?
ReplyDeleteDear Heavenly Father God,
Whenever I am faced with situations and circumstances and I want to be sure of what to do, thank You for giving me Your Clear Direction.
Thank You that I can choose to acknowledge You and also choose to lean into Your Word and therein find Your Guidance in every situation and circumstance that faces me. Thank You for walking along this Wondrous Collaborative Way with Your Holy Spirit whenever I give You this space in my life.
In Jesus' Name. AMEN!
Thanks dear Brie!! Choosing with you to acknowledge Him in all things and to give Gim my reins today and not yank them back. I woke up with a grateful heart because God blessed us with a sunny day! He gave my mom an appetite yesterday and a cheerful attitude. We prayed together and we were blessed to have answers to our prayers. Our faithful God walks by our side and abides within us!! We are held in loving Arms and guided through our day by His. Wisdom and Spirit! Praying with you and for you dear sister! Much love

ReplyDeleteHe sure is with us every second, dear Audra. Good and bad. He calls us to be grateful for even the storms and trials because they test our faith and He leads us through them. Love you, sister!
ReplyDeleteJames 1:2-4
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
“Christ in me, the hope of glory” was my grandmother’s verse. I didn’t understand it well for a long time but this post makes it clear, and is so reassuring that NOTHING can separate us from the Love of God. May God bless each one of you deeply! Amen
ReplyDeleteDear Ellen --- Blessing received! Thank you! I speak Life, Blessing, and the Blood of Jesus over you and your family.
