Let Me infuse My Peace into your innermost being. As you sit quietly in the Light of My Presence, you can sense Peace growing within you. This is not something that you accomplish through self-discipline and willpower; it is opening yourself to receive My blessing.
In this age of independence, people find it hard to acknowledge their neediness. However, I have taken you along a path that has highlighted your need for Me: placing you in situations where your strengths were irrelevant and your weaknesses were glaringly evident. Through the aridity of those desert marches, I have drawn you closer and closer to Myself. You have discovered flowers of Peace blossoming in the most desolate places. You have learned to thank Me for hard times and difficult journeys, trusting that through them I accomplish My best work. You have realized that needing Me is the key to knowing Me intimately, which is the gift above all gifts.
Isaiah 58:11
English Standard Version
And the Lord will guide you continually
and satisfy your desire in scorched places
and make your bones strong;
and you shall be like a watered garden,
like a spring of water,
whose waters do not fail.
Isaiah 40:11
English Standard Version
He will tend his flock like a shepherd;
he will gather the lambs in his arms;
he will carry them in his bosom,
and gently lead those that are with young.
My Prayer
You rescue me. You take me through adversities and prosperity. You know what is best. You will guide me continually and make m strong. I will be equipped in the process. You take care of your sheep. I can rest in You. Help me to discover your peace, trusting that you can accomplish in Me greater than I know. I need you Lord. I only exist with you as my anchor. I want to lean on you. Refresh me and strengthen me.

Thank you for these posts brother. Check your typo in this one I believe you meant "work" where it says word..
ReplyDeleteI've seen several typos over the past 6 months or so. While I, too, am a grammar nazi, I hope you can look past the typos & receive the message. It's tough, but if I can do it, you can do it! If not, you can always buy the book. Peace!
DeleteI have the book, but I like to forward the messages via email and text, hence the need for it to be correct. Thank you
DeleteI’ll try to check nightly. Sorry about that. But thanks for the heads up. Go OU!
DeleteThank you brother, and God bless .
DeletePayton family, I thank you for your daily posts and the blessings you intend to share. I am not bothered by something so menial. Only Jesus was perfect. Thanks again

I agree Carol! Our Faithful Blogger is a shining example of Christ's Love! Jesus works through us using our strengths and weaknesses to witness to our fellow man. Thank you Dear Lord for Chris' witness!
DeleteThank you Chris for your wonderful site and all the JC family who feel exactly the same. It helps me immensely. KS
DeleteThank you Chris for your perfect prayer that spoke to my heart. I prayed it with you! Amen!!
DeleteGood Morning
DeleteIn the midst of sickness and undetermined outcomes this message has been written as an inspiration from God. God bless you, and please continue to bless others.
This blog is indeed a rich blessing! The book by Sarah Young is a real blessing too. In Chris using the Jesus Calling daily readings he not only has expounded the readings by adding the Scriptures in full and his prayer but has also enabled a community of folk to comment and share some of their daily walk on the King's highway. None of us are perfect, and it's through our imperfections we realize our neediness of Jesus, our Savior, Healer, and Constant Companion who is everything I / we need to lead us through the godless crazy-ness of this world that we are in but not of. May each one be truly blessed this new day, may the precious presence of the Living God rest upon you and guide you. May you receive answers to your prayers and your faith be lifted as you look to Him each step of the way.
DeleteThank you for the blessing, Peter.
DeleteAmen and Alleluia, Peter, our dear brother friend in Christ.
DeleteThank you Peter! Be lifted high!

DeleteI am so thankful to be able to come here, read the devotional and the scriptures that you have looked up and put together for us. God bless you and your family in abundance.
We are very thankful and appreciate you taking the time and care to bring His word, the Loving word here for our JC family.

Dear JC family
With love,

🙏❤️🙏
Thank you so much for this blog. I've got some difficult family situations and it's so good to be reminded that He will guide me and make me strong.
DeleteThank you so much for these post from Jesus Calling. I love it can look it up online if I forget my book when I'm at a hotel. Also, I love you post the scriptures. Thank you and God Bless!
DeleteHeavenly Father, Thank you for the fruit of the spirit where we gain peace in our lives. True and lasting peace only comes from seeking You. I pray that I am more faithful in spending more quiet time seeking your presence and love for me which brings peace to my life. I am thankful for all the hard time and difficult journeys that are laid upon me that assure my dependence upon You as my true father which strengthens my soul and brings me closer to You.
ReplyDeleteBeginning each day with quiet time in God's presence, reading his word;; reading devotionals and opening our ears; hearts and mind unto God's word as he speaks to us, is an absolute must for me. It starts my day off with a proper mind set and peace. Then to thank God at the end of the day for all the many things he helped me through and the opportunities he gave me through the day to serve in and minister his word to others in need. Yes, God is good. He is my whole life. He lifted up out of the darkness into the light of of Holy Spirit and I am grateful every moment of every day for this gift of life he has blessed me with.
DeleteUnknown - Amen. Beginning each day in God's presence is a must.
DeleteWonderful prayer Jeff. We truly are being molded by our trials and tribulations. We see clearly our great need for our good and faithful God. Our trust is strengthened, and our patience and hope. It’s all part of His Plan.
DeleteThank Jeff that prayer is on point....It motivates us today as well reminding us that God never leaves or forsakes us !
DeleteDear Jesus, in my humanness I resist struggles and difficulties. I try to solve the issue using my means, leaving me often beaten and battered without any relief. Help me to see that these times are an opportunity to build my trust and realtionship with you. This is in a way a gift, that you have provided for me to lean and accept MY story, MY journey. With prayer and an open heart I will avoid times of spiritual aridity. Amen.

ReplyDeleteI am traveling today to see the birth of another grandchild. Please say some prayers for safe travels along with a healthy and safe delivery.
We are also still in the midst of some difficult personal struggles, and I have appreciated prayers received. Thank you!
I will say prayers for all on here throughout my travels today. It will be me talking to God for several hours consistently. Prayers for peace, love, healing, forgiving and thanksgiving. Jesus,I surrender myself to You; take care of everything. CO
Agreed... thank you for the uplifting posts.
DeleteCO, feeling that I am assigned to pray for your situation. I know it's not an easy journey for either of you, but pray He leads the way.
Every word of today's reading seemingly was written to me. Perhaps it applies to you as well; your strengths were irrelevant and your weaknesses were glaringly evident. Praying for Grace as you continue to surrender.
Thank you for the prayers, Keith! I reread everything and I am in agreement that it applies to me. In my ignorance, for many years, I thought I had it all figured out...until I realized I couldn't and can't do it alone. I'm ashamed it took all of the struggles for me to see more clearly, but am thankful I have been able to at least begin putting my ego aside and surrender to My Savior, Jesus Christ.
DeleteGod's Best Blessings to you my JC Family! Just in case you didn't see my latest post (yesterday), I wanted to repeat it: "My dear Sister in Christ (with the mass on her ovary), received a call from the Dr. The last test came in and she is confident that it isn't malignant. Surgery is scheduled for 1/23/20. Outpatient! Please continue to keep her in your prayers, Prayer Warriers!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Norah"
Praising God and thankful for all of your prayers. You are all in mine. And, Maplewood, I, too, am so happy that you got to spend Thanksgiving with your family.
Ours was delightful and I have the bonus of a little 3 year old grandson here with us this morning. We made Orange Cinnamon Rolls and scrambled eggs. He ate every bite...guess it's always better when you've helped make it!
Continued prayers for each of you. And Peyton Family - Hope you and yours had a lovely Thanksgiving. You and your site remains on my "most thankful for..." list!
OH! And one more...a healthy baby girl was born yesterday - one of my dear Sisters in Christ's granddaughter. Mommy and baby are healthy and blessed!
Yes, thank you. We drove to Colorado Wed. to see my wife's folks (her father recently had a stroke, but is recovering). Unfortunately I had to come back today, driving halfway in the snow, as I have to be at work tomorrow for the opening of a new transportation service in our city. The rest of the family back on Sunday. My dad is still transitioning since the passing of my mom in October and spent time with friends on Thanksgiving. But, yes, always thankful for justification by faith alone. Thankful for the special community on here encouraging one another (Heb 10:24-25). Blessings.
DeletePraise and thanksgiving be to God, Norah! So nice to read about good news. I will continue prayers for your sister in Christ.
DeleteGrandchildren are wonderful blessings from God; so happy to read about your special time together.
Thank you always for your prayers! CO
We had our Thanksgiving celebration plans changed by a rare snowfall here on our southern California desert. Thank you God for your beautiful nature. Segments of the family gathered on opposite sides of the mountain and other friends joined us that had planned to travel but were hindered by the weather. All in all a good celebration. Thank you Father, God for your abundant provision.
ReplyDeleteThank You Lord for all you do for us. I thank You Lord that Your ways are higher than our ways. Thank you that needing You is the key to knowing You intimately. I lift up each one of the JC FAMILY and ask Your Great Blessings and supernatural favor upon each one!!! Love you ALL!!! In His Grip of Grace from Kansas
ReplyDeleteAnd God, please let BOB know he wasn't finished adventing us yet, and today is the first Sunday of Advent.
ReplyDeleteI hope he has not gone AWOL. Madfox, you got the engines ready?
Praying you are OK, BOB!
DeleteAre you?
FYI, I do know that Bob is visiting family over the holidays and probably taking a few days off from posting... "Don't worry, Be Happy", he is with us still!! 🤣😀
DeleteThanks Madfox, His LOA is approved 😀

Eternal Loving Father, a day of Thanksgiving set aside has come and gone, but gratitude, thankfulness and praises to You, will never depart from all who love and worship You in spirit and in truth. Help me to keep my eyes on You this day and everyday so my life may be filled with praise and joy. Your Word tells me in Philippians 4:6-7 that Your peace guards me when I pray with thanksgiving. May all my prayers for Thanksgiving enrich my life as I turn my focus to Your many promises and blessings, and may giving thanks through the power of prayer, turn anxiety into peace, sadness into joy, and weakness into strength, for Jesus’ sake.
ReplyDeleteHere’s Thanking You this day for:
Family, friends, colleagues, neighbors, strangers, believers and non-believers, all nation, leaders (Church and government) and all Your creation. Thank you for Your amazing power and work in all of our lives, for Your goodness and blessings over us, and thank you for bringing hope through even the toughest of times, and for strengthening us for Your purposes. Thank you for Your unconditional love and care, and for your mercy and grace. Thank you for the freedom and life we have through Your incredible sacrifice. Father, forgive us for when we don't thank you enough, for who You are, for all that You do and for all that You've given. May our eyes and hearts be set afresh on You. Grant us renewal of spirit and fill us with Your constant peace and joy. We give You praise and thanks, because You alone are worthy! In Jesus' name. Amen.
Blessings and Peace.

This day, set aside for rest, may my offering of praise & worship be acceptable in thy sight. I bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord.
ReplyDeleteIt is a new day and I am refreshed and thankful to read all of the reasons why from Sarah's JC, from your sweet heart Maplewood and prayers, Jan, Sassy Mom, Brie and Janet. I will comb this page throughout the day to remind myself that He has gone before me in those "desert places" and we have and will continue to discover "flowers of Peace blossoming in the most desolate places. You have learned to thank Me for hard times and difficult journeys, trusting that through them I accomplish My best work. You have realized that needing Me is the key to knowing Me intimately, which is the gift above all gifts." Thank you for reminding me, Lord, throughout my day that You can lift the heaviest of fog and make our hearts light in the midst of this uncertain time. Let my thankfulness drown out the discord of the political world, the COVID world and let me be your Light to everyone I see today. Let me bless my son, daughter-in-love and grands later this morning with good food and reminders of all we have to be thankful for.
ReplyDeletePraying for each of you this day as we all count our blessings and cast our cares to the One who cares for each of us.
Amen dear Norah. Praying for you too and your loved ones. Have a blessed day in His Presence.
DeleteBlessings from France
Amen & Amen, Norah! Leaning on and trusting in (at all times) the One that matters most! Enjoy your time with your family!
DeleteAmen sweet Norah, BFF and NJS!
DeleteLeaning on the Everlasting Arms.
God bless all of you! Lord, sadly and humanly, I am reluctant to thank you for the hard times which bring me closer to you( sin). I do realize that the more I need you the more intimately I get to know you. I will try to bridge this gap of understanding Lord in my mind for I know your best is always what you have for me regardless of the package it may arrive in (Holy spirit weave this beautiful thought together in my mind). I know That your plan is fueled by your great love for me that surpasses my common earthly understanding and that the key to your inheritance for my life is thru you and you alone despite the often rugged journey. Father forgive my lack of trust. You indeed have given all things and you are indeed higher than any one of them. You are the prize and the treasure that circumstances cannot touch. Thank you Lord.
ReplyDeleteI believe God is weaving a beautiful masterpiece out of our joy and our sorrows. It will continue till the end of our journey here. He is the best artist. Just look at the glory in the sunrise and sunset and in the eyes of our Grands
DeleteThis is so beautiful Jeanne. It is so hard to trust in the low places and be thankful. But God is always there.

Amen dear Audra!
DeleteJesus, please help me to always remember that as long as I get out of the drivers seat and stay a willing and trusting passenger that You will guide me through Your will for me. I am not in the results business, all is for You to decide. Thank You for being my constant companion through this life.

I believe in the healing power of faith and prayer and I ask you to begin your mighty work in the life of Kyle. Please reach down and surround him with supernatural peace and strength and give him the faith to believe that all things are possible for you. Protect him from Satan's lies and discouragement and let his miraculous healing begin. Amen

DeleteThen Jesus answered and said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner." (John 5:19). Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. (Philippians 2:5,12-13). For we are the circumcision, who worship God in Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh, (Philippians 3:3). I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me. And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:13,19). Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. (1 Timothy 6:6-9). Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16). And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. (James 5:15). For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world -- our faith. (1 John 5:4). that, as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the LORD." (1 Corinthians 1:31). For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. (Ephesians 2:8). Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, (Ephesians 3:20).
ReplyDeleteHeavenly Father, thank You for being my everything. I depend on You for everything, including my very next breath. You are the most high and there is no one above You. You are the best Father ever. I praise You Lord always. Let my thoughts always be thanking You, especially when my words are "busy". You are my eternal salvation and Your mercies and grace are new every morning. I am so grateful for that. You will always refresh and awaken my spirit -- all I have to do is ask You. You hear me and You always listen to me. You answer all that I ask of You, even if it's not the answer that I'm looking for or seeking at the time. I've noticed that some people may not believe that You speak to us in different ways and that saddens my heart. What a gift that they are missing out on. I am so grateful for Your Presence in my life and that You are always with me, hearing me, and speaking to me. Thank You Jesus. You know everything about me and my burdens and circumstances. You know all that is happening with me in my life all the time. I don't know what I should do, but I give You all my burdens Lord. They are too heavy for me to carry. They weigh me down, but You lift me up with You. You know what's best for me and You always take the best care of me. I will trust in You Lord. You will always give me the provisions that I need. You will always protect me. Father, I need Your guidance in my life. Compel me to do Your will and not my own. Reveal to me what I need to know. I feel like things are getting ready to come to some kind of moment due to the things that are happening right now in my life. Please guide me and direct my steps along YOUR path for me and not what I think is right. Help me to keep my eyes focused on You and Your will for me. Let Your Spirit rule me. Help me to walk in Your Spirit and not in my flesh. I desire to be pleasing to You. Father, forgive me for thinking I can do things in my own strength and in my own way. I am so sorry. I realized that this morning (thank You Jesus) and I don't know how much I have been doing that, but please forgive me. I can't do anything apart from You. Help me to keep You the center of my life and to always look to You in all things. I need and want You in my life. You are my saving grace and my salvation. Thank You for rescuing me from the depths of my despair and opening my eyes to Your truth, the life, and the way. Let Your will be done and not mine Lord. Help me follow You Lord and the leading of the Holy Spirit and to do Your will and not my own. Pray for me Lord -- like You did for Your disciples. Bless You Lord. Anoint me with the oil of Your Spirit and bless and keep me close in Your heart. Thank You for all my benefits and blessings Lord. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen.
ReplyDeleteAmen (❁´◡`❁)

DeleteI haven't read for many days... moved by the verses and the purifying light of Love living in your heart.
DeleteI add my love to those earnest prayers.
So very thankful for prayers of healing and that I see the results very soon. Heading back to rest in my bed after reading all of these great victories and requests. Kyle remains in my prayers as do you, Janet and all of you wonderful JC Family Prayer Warriors. As I rest, I will continue to pray. Great is He that is all of us than he that is in the world!
ReplyDeleteI love to hear you are resting and your prayers are so powerful.
DeleteThank you for your prayers. Antibody treatment for covid received just now 🙏
ReplyDeletePraying, Audra. Please let us know how treatment works out for you and hub.
DeleteAudra - Joining JC Warriors in prayer to the great physician, Jehovah Rapha for complete healing for you and your husband. We love you.
DeletePraying for you dear Audra that you and your hubby will be healed completely and strengthened in every way.
DeleteMay our Lord place His healing hands upon your husband and restore his health completely. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen. God bless.
DeletePraying for all here. Norah, Janet, Audra, Jeanne, Kyle's transplant. For direction, discernment, health and healing for all. Wanted to share a praise about my son Camden, 21. We have had the best communication the last few weeks, he is in such a good place(last year at this time he was struggling with depression, and anxiety). He is growing and flourishing in his health and work and relationships. He even thanked me and our jc family for praying for him. He broke down in tears of thankfulness when I shred with him about this jc family praying for him. He can feel God working. I know God is drawing him back to Himself. I love each of you here and it's such a blessing to pray for you and be prayed for by you. This blog is a lifeline. My daughter Chloe is also doing better with her health, and is at peace with calling off her wedding (oct). She is letting God lead her in New directions.
ReplyDeleteAlso thankful for my wonderful hubs as we just celebrated 28 years of marriage. Love and prayers to to all. Mindy
Thank God Camden and Chloe are doing better. Happy Anniversary dear sister! God is so good!
DeleteHappy Anniversary to you and hubs and praying many more happy ones in your future filled with hope.
DeletePraise God for Camden and. Chloe's Victories in Jesus, our Savior forever. HALLELUJAH!
Happy Anniversary! What a victory in Jesus Christ! Glad to hear that your son's life is being touched by the hand of God and that your daughter's health is better and that she has peace in her life. Peace be with you!

DeleteHello family it's been a while since I posted, I have been overwhelmed by just the way things are happening. Today's verses have given me strength. I have done some training in counselling, and I am counselling at a Muslim University. I love the opportunity to be used by God, in a place where I have been warned not to share my Christian beliefs. I am supposed to see 5 students daily and I get paid for the each student seen. however sometimes 2 come or one day none came. I feel like the devil is trying to frustrate me, but God keeps giving me strength to go there every day.
ReplyDeleteIsaiah 58:11 (NKJV)
This verse is filled with great promises offering hope. The Lord will:
1) guide you continually,
2) satisfy your soul in drought,
3) strengthen your bones,
4) make you a flourishing garden, and
5) make you a never-failing spring of water.
Glad to hear that you're doing well and that the Lord is working in and through you. God bless 🙏.
DeleteGod bless you, Min Ahadi! Don't forget to get dressed with your armour each day!!! ♥️
DeleteOpening my heart to receive every blessing and opening my eyes to all the light that our loving Father shines on my path. Praying He will shower all of us who trust in Him with answered prayers and more of His faithfulness. Tomorrow, my dear friend Rudy will have more heart surgery to replace a heart valve, remove an aneurism, and put in an artificial aorta. May God guide the doctors perfectly to do everything right to make Rudy better so he can continue to lead a life of gratitude with his good wife and son. He is such a beautiful person of faith and I love him dearly. We've been friends for 18 years. And for healing of Joni Marie, and my son Greg and his friend, David and his friend's family with Covid and my friends, Curtis, Tom, and Thandi, and all those with Covid and every other illness of body, mind and spirit, and, may my daughter in law's biopsy on her girl parts be benign, and my friend's daughter, Elizabeth who must get a long cyst removed from her stomach, and heal my sister's knees, and my Mom's eyes, and my eye, and Rich's wife, Jill, and Brie, Keith, and Larry, and dear Norah for successful cataract surgery coming on 12/6 and your DH's GI procedure tomorrow too, and dear Audra that you are feeling better, and dear Jan's DH and her son, and all those who are struggling with Myeloma, especially Madfox as he continues his treatment, and Sandy who is having an endoscopy on 12/12, and Norah's husband, and heal Rich C's wife, Jill, and Sassy Mom and Terri's broken hearts, and so many other people I may have forgotten, but You know who needs Your Help, dear God.
ReplyDeleteThank You Father for blessing every member of our JC Family and their families, and for Your healing, comfort, guidance and peace, and all this in the powerful Name of Christ Jesus, our Risen Lord. Amen.
Joining in prayers with you Jeanne. Quite a list of people in need, and for others who aren't mentioned by name here, but our God is mightier than anything or anyone. He can and does do ALL things. He is the God that saves, heals, and loves us. In His powerful name, in Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏.
DeleteAmen
DeleteAmen Janet! We serve such a mighty and faithful God.
DeletePsalm 103:1-5
1 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
So good to see you dear Min Ahadi! You're always in my prayers. Hope and pray all is going well for you and your Mom and daughter.
DeleteAmen!!!
DeleteReceiving your prayers with thanks. Praying for all the mentioned JC bloggers and those just mentioned by Jeanne. Godspeed, be blessed, keep an attitude of gratitude. Amen.
ReplyDeleteThanks dear MadFox! Amen!
DeleteGratitude and praise. Trusting always in God’s faithfulness and promises. May God heal all your weaknesses. Much love to you and yours, dear brother.

Lord Jesus, I worship you, Savior and Lord of the world.
Holy Spirit, I worship you, sanctifier of the people of God.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

Holy, blessed and glorious Trinity, three persons in one God,
have mercy upon me. Amen." John Stotts

DeleteYours are the best prayers… thank you from so many of us as we read along. I close my eyes and feel the peace while repeating your prayers.
ReplyDeletePrincevalley
Gathering right into that perfect prayer dear Janet, Amen and Amen! So happy to be a lump of clay in our Potter’s Hands.
ReplyDeleteAwesome share my good sister!!! Amen! Thank you. 💗You just added a flood of light to my morning! Resting oh so sweetly in the Presence of the Lord! I know you’re standing with me on the Rock that never crumbles. God bless you and all our dear JC Family.
ReplyDeleteAmen! Joining in all prayers with a grateful heart today. ✝️♥️✝️🙏🙏
ReplyDeleteI am in Cardiologist's waiting room as a follow up to my high blood pressure episode last week. I am trying to be a patient patient, praying and praying for a thorough definitive visit, and all the right questions get asked. The wait is allowing me to do more praying for and with all of you. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
ReplyDeleteDear Heavenly Father God,
DeleteWould You help me to activate today's devotion by sitting quietly in the Light of Your Presence, and sensing Your Peace growing within?
I can only do it with Your Help.
Thank You for helping me.
Praying you received all the answers to your questions and good news, my dear sister Brie. The Lord was surely at your side and His peace was surrounding you.
DeleteWonderful shares today. Thank you all!
ReplyDeleteYes, Suzanne R, I agree with you. Awesome shares. So good to see your post! Great Blessings and Love to you, your family and my Beloved JCFAMILY! I Decree: Increase, Abundant Grace, Divine Favor, New Beginnings, Success, Victory in all ramifications, Prosperity and Divine Health will permeate each one, in Jesus's name. HALLELUJAH!!!
DeleteJJ
Received, JJ, and many thanks for your powerful-declaring prayer! Blessings to you, dear sister!
DeletePraying for you Brie and that you are doing well; for you Jeanne and your sister, Janet and your dear friend's surgery. Thanking all of you for your prayers for my DH as we leave at 5AM for his procedure. Thank you for praying my daughter JM home and that she is doing fine and has sweet sleep tonight. Peace, Peace, wonderful Peace coming down from the Father above. Wash over my Spirit, forever I pray, in fathomless billows of love....
ReplyDeletePraying for each of you as I've read throughout the day. God Bless and keep us all - love to you my JC Family!
We're on our tomorrow, Norah! 🙏
DeleteRest in the arms of the Shepard family. He’s watching over his flock as they sleep in peace knowing that He loves them and will protect them; he will not leave them or forsake them. Trust in the great I AM who has a plan and purpose for each of his flock.
ReplyDeleteShalom 🙏
Great devotion today. Well God already knows how much I need Him. All through my day I call to Him. I need His help, His Peace, His wisdom, His guidance, and His strength. He knows my voice because I am a sheep in His flock. I put my trust in Him and He has been so good and faithful. Whatever you are going through, know He cares and He is mighty to help and save all who call on Him in gratitude and faith. God bless your new day. Rest in Him. He is Greater than anything you will face today. Do not fear for He is near.
ReplyDeleteJohn 14:27
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
2 Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Amen Jeanne 🙏.
DeleteFor it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. (2 Corinthians 4:6-7).
ReplyDeleteGod is so good ALWAYS! Thank You Jesus 😊.
DeleteThank you Jeanne and thank you Janet for always starting my day with His word and beautiful prayers- truly grateful for this JC family❤️
DeleteAmen and thank you! Love you, dear Janet and Blessings from NY. We share God's Word and our prayers to lift each other. We are of one accord. Have a sweet and fruitful day in His presence and peace.
DeleteJC starts: "Let Me infuse My Peace into your innermost being." I either missed this reading or didn't think about the special wording these past 3+ years with Multiple Myeloma.
ReplyDeleteMy maintenance program has a chemotherapy drug that the RNs must "infuse" WEEKLY. The Infusion is done thru a surgically implanted port where an internal catheter goes into the vena cava vein just above your heart. This enables folks to NOT have to be stuck in the arm each week. So for nearly 140+ weeks, I've been at "peace" because the port is literally "plug and play" vs. the pain and anxiety of digging for a vein in your arm weekly. And the harmless port is as close as it can be to my "innermost being" i.e. the symbolism of the heart. The result? Peace and an easier day.
More often now, I try to envision His light enveloping me and those I pray for. A method given to me by others as we often read that the angels appear as bright beings surrounded by light. God is Light.
JC: "As you sit quietly in the Light of My Presence, you can sense Peace growing within you. This is not something that you accomplish through self-discipline and willpower; it is opening yourself to receive My blessing.
Sarah creatively used scripture here to remind us PEACE IS IN HIM ONLY. The chaos of the world yields only temporary peace. So, it is BLESSING in all circumstances when we can be at peace. Not always an easy task. Prayer creates His presence as symbolized in Isaiah 40:11: "He will tend his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms;" AMEN.
God moves in mysterious ways! Ha. Godspeed BFNY
DeleteLove the port analogy, MadFox. Thanks for sharing!
DeleteBless you, bless you, MadFox! I was shouting, "I do that too!", as I was reading your post! The Lord just recently showed me to envision who I'm praying for to bathe them in His Glory the Life--Light. He brought this scripture to me from John 1:3-5 MSG "Everything was created through him. What came into existence was Life, and the Life was Light to live by. The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness; the darkness couldn't put it out." HALLELUJAH!!! You post encouraged me. It helps me see His Glory, His Life--Light, enveloping my prayers! Peace, Joy, Love, Life, and Blessings in Jesus' Mighty Name, I Declare over yu, MadFox!
DeleteThank you dear Brother! Amen and Amen! I pray that you will continue to tolerate your treatments and stay in remission. You are such a bright well of light and wisdom and inspiration. You speak your Spirit guided words from a beautiful and steadfast faith. I love your heart and I thank you for all your encouragement. May God bless and strengthen you and hold you tight every day of your life.
DeleteHallelujah dear JJ! His Life-Light can never be put out and it will lead us through this life right into His Arms in Eternity. I will try to envision those I pray for to be in His Light and Glory. Thank you, dear sister! <3
I thank you Dear MadFox for the reminder of my DH's port, which is so very thankful for. I am so tired, Dear Fam. I am heading to bed and I ask for your prayers. DH has a 9A blood draw (they don't use the port, but they are good) and a 10:15 Dr. appt. re: his 12/6/23 carotid surgery. I want to be my best for him and for Him; but I'm so stinkin' weary that I can't describe. Casework is crazy; an hour and 45 min call with the hosp going over DH's medical history; headache and tired eyes. Please pray with me, for me. I need to wake up refreshed and with boundless energy. Only God can give me that.
DeleteI haven't read posts all day, but I pray for all of you.
Sleep Sweet. Thank God that He is on the Night Watch!

DeleteNorah, Praying for good results on your husband's bloodwork and a successful surgery on Dec. 6th. Let the light from Him above shine and heal. May you wake rested. Godspeed. In Him. Amen.
DeleteJoining prayers for your DH's good blood results and God's guidance throughout the 12/6 carotid surgery and for your rest, and strength so you will be clear headed in the morning. Sending a hug. God will be at your side, dear one and holding onto your dear husband's hand. Sleep sweet and may God bless you with restoration. Thank You Jesus.
DeleteBlessings and God's strength are yours, dear Norah. We declare in Jesus' name everything goes well tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThank You God for infusing Your Peace into my innermost being when our daughter and son-in-love, were over the moon, happily describing their recent vacation! Thank you for Janet, Jeanne, NJS, Audra, JJ, and all who prayed in response to my posted prayer request on November 19. I am continuously thanking God for you, and His Answered Prayer = VICTORY LAP!! with His Banner flying high, as if it had a gust from a Mighty Wind Beneath My Wings!
ReplyDeleteYou came. You saw my need. You prayed. He Conquered! Thank You Lord for all you do for us, and for Who You Are. In Jesus' Name. AMEN!
I'm so glad to hear of your refreshing time in the Lord and answered prayers! God is so good ALWAYS! Peace be with you 🙏.
DeleteI love you dear Brie! Your gratitude and trust in the Lord’s faithfulness and Goodness always blesses me. He has been so good to us and we are of one accord. I can’t do anything without Him but with Him I can do All things! I know we all have things we’re going through. May God in His mercy and loving kindness shine His bright Light in our paths and lead us to good health, joy, and rest so we can carry out all He has equipped us for. Rest well Sis, Have a sweet and productive day in His presence and peace. He is our Strength and our Song! Praising Him with you and our JC Family.
ReplyDeleteFrom today’s devotion:
You have learned to thank Me for hard times and difficult journeys, trusting that through them I accomplish My best work. You have realized that needing Me is the key to knowing Me intimately, which is the gift above all gifts.
I need You Jesus. Thank You for always being with me. You complete me and You comfort me. Amen
Philippians 1:6
“being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;”
Hallelujah and Amen Jeanne 🙏. God bless!
DeleteThanks dear Janet! Trusting always in His promises, faithfulness and His Word. Hallelujah!
DeleteNow in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed. (Mark 1:35).
ReplyDeleteAmen.
DeleteAmen!
DeleteI had forgotten about this JC post and my comments last year. After 3.5 years of being weekly "infused," the medical chest port was removed this summer, as I dropped the medication requiring it from the blessings of God and the prayers of so many JC prayer warriors, church prayer lists, friends, and family.
ReplyDeleteI must remember to infuse Him with prayer and stay in the healing light of those prayers. See yourself bathed in His Glory, and those that you love as you pray with gratitude this special time of the year. In Jesus name. Amen.
And must add, THANK YOU JC Blog Prayer Warriors, am grateful for all that have added prayers, kind words, and affirmations to and for me here for so MANY years.
DeleteBeautiful posts, dear MadFox! Blessed by your gratitude, love, and prayerful heart. May God continue to shine His faithfulness like the Son over you and your loved ones! 💗🙏😊
DeleteBiblically the Jewish word for peace, 'shalom', never means simply the absence of trouble. It means the hope of all things which makes for our highest good, no matter the circumstances or situations.
ReplyDeleteThe peace which the world offers us is the peace of escape, the peace which comes from the avoidance of troubles, difficulties, and from refusing to face things. It's temporary at best.
Worldly peace is the avoidance of trouble.
The peace Jesus gives 'His Peace', transcends troubles and difficulties, assuring us no matter the situation we are in ALL IS WELL, all WILL BE WELL. His Peace transforms us enabling us to trust Him in the the middle of the storm, in the darkest of nights when sleep is far from us and fearful worries crowd our minds.
When Jesus returned to Heaven He left two things...His Peace, and the promise of the Holy Spirit - the Comforter.
Be encouraged to receive both, His Peace which is beyond our understanding and the promised Presence of the Holy Spirit Who will guide and help us in all things.
John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
John 14:26 AMPC "But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you".
Thank you so much, dear brother Peter! I give the Lord everything to handle as I care for my mom, because He is trustworthy and His promises are sure, and His peace is unchanging like His love for us. Thank you for adding light to my day. We pray for each other and for our dear ones here, and our friends and families, because we have already seen the faithfulness, goodness and mercy of the Lord. Resting in His Peace with you. Blessed.
DeleteBeautiful interpretation of "shalom", Peter! And thank you for encouraging us to receive the two gifts Jesus left us after He returned to Heaven. Amén. Anaira from MD. 🙏🏼
DeleteAmen, dear Anaira! His Peace, and the promise of the Holy Spirit - the Comforter.
DeleteThe truth....."I have taken you along a path that has highlighted your need for Me: placing you in situations where your strengths were irrelevant and your weaknesses were glaringly evident....." I too often rely on "my strengths" , when weakness are more evident. I need to rely more on Gods will and plan and His Strength to guide, versus my own doing. Dear Heavenly Father help me to know I do Not need to ask for "my" path is be blessed, but rather my path IS blessed following and relying on You always. Amen.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful truth and prayer. Amen, dear ABC! Always blessed in His loving care.
DeleteGood, Blessed Evening, JC Family. It's almost 8:30 EST and I have had the most relaxing day. My prayer is always to have a day combined with needed chores or work and breaks of relaxation.
ReplyDeleteRecently, one of our ministers shared with me the need for 'true refreshment,' which can be in the form of exercise, yoga, reading, lunch with a friend or your spouse (and always, praying). Anything other than what you 'have' to do. The adversary tells us it's wrong to take time out for ourselves, but it's not. It's needed, especially when you work full time and are a helpmate and caregiver. Applying this simple lesson shared with me after a great night's sleep and a day of accomplishment has proven him to be right.
Hubby is doing great, adult-kids are fine and our home is peaceful. "Let Me infuse My Peace into your innermost being. As you sit quietly in the Light of My Presence, you can sense Peace growing within you. This is not something that you accomplish through self-discipline and willpower; it is opening yourself to receive My blessing."
Throughout the day I prayed for this dear JC Family, especially those whose needs I know so well. Brie, your joy jumped off the page and I was delighted as you have been so on my heart after losing your dear brother and going through the first holiday without him. I could picture your Victory Lap with your banner flying high!
God Bless each and everyone of you. I will be praying quietly as I now tackle my desk while listening to soft piano music.
Love and God's Best to all of you, always!
Dearest Norah, So happy all is well. I prayed you would get your much needed rest after a whirlwind of Thanksgiving prep and entertaining. I took a much needed nap while my mom napped! What a blessing that God refreshed us all! He provides all our needs!
DeleteI echo Mr. Payton's prayer. 🙏 in Jesus' name. Refresh our spirits, Lord; we need You.
ReplyDeleteAmen.
