I am Leading You along a way that is uniquely right for you. The closer to Me you grow, the more fully you become your true self--the one I designed you to be. Because you are one of a kind, the path you are traveling with Me diverges increasingly from that of other people. However, in My mysterious wisdom and ways, I enable you to follow this solitary path while staying in close contact with others. In fact, the more completely you devote yourself to Me, the more freely you can love people.2 Corinthians 5:17
Marvel at the beauty of a life intertwined with My Presence. Rejoice as we journey together in intimate communion. Enjoy the adventure of finding yourself through losing yourself in Me.
English Standard Version
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
Ephesians 2:10
English Standard Version
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
I John 4:7-8
English Standard Version
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
John 15:4
English Standard Version
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.

Stay with me always I need you everyday 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
ReplyDeleteAmen! He is faithful and His mercies are new EVERY morning ❤️
DeleteAmen! My fervent prayer to stay in contact with God, always asking for him to build with me and do with me as he wilt. May I do his will always!🙏❤️
DeleteI am finding myself by losing myself in Christ. I thank you Lord for this process, Amen
ReplyDeleteThank- You Father that You will never leave me or forsake me no matter what! Help me and give me strength to be a better person and to love ❤️ others the way You do. Bless me and my family and give your angels charge over us! In Jesus Name Amen
ReplyDeleteA humble sweet prayer. Amen
DeleteYes Lord bless us all over the world..give your angels charge over us! Amen!
Delete"Enjoy the adventure of finding yourself through losing yourself in Me." Sarah nails the journey with this simple phrasing. We can become a new person in Christ and all He asks is that you believe (i.e. have faith) He will be there all along the way.
ReplyDeleteAmen and Amen!
DeleteThank you for that, dear MadFox. May God help me to leave the past and the chaff behind as I enter this new year. I am a new creature in Christ and He is molding me each day according to His own will and plan. May He guide me to “let go and let God”.
DeleteFather, Let Your Will be done.
This kind of getting lost is such a bliss full experience. Thank you Jesus, I love you Jesus, I trust you Jesus.
DeleteLord, forgive me. I had a very rough day yesterday and felt so disconnected from others and you. I humbly repent for my behavior and pray that you come into my heart and heal the pain that I feel. Help me to love others and not be so selfish. I pray this is Jesus name, Amen.
ReplyDeleteMany churches will read this Sunday the incident that occurred when Jesus was twelve (Luke 2:41-52). In this story, do we not see Jesus living out the thought of today’s reading? Because He was fully human, He needed to go through the same process of spiritual maturity that each of us must seek. He needed to fully attach His heart to God and He did through prayer, worship and other spiritual exercises. In doing so, the Father was shaping Him to fulfill the role of the Messiah for which He was came. You and I have been created for a role in the process of God’s salvation of the world. We fulfill our calling in the same way Jesus did. We attach our heart to God and His will takes place on earth as in heaven.
ReplyDelete"Because He was fully human, He needed to go through the same process of spiritual maturity that each of us must seek." Not so, Jesus is God incarnate, fully man and fully God. He did not need the shaping and maturity as we do. He already had it but was willing to go through all that we go through to show us the Father's Love for us and to be the example of faith that we need. He gave up his comfort of heaven and not onlt taught us but showed us how we can trust God. His ultimate sacrifice that he freely subjected to is what we need to understand in order to trust God fully. -Your sister in Christ,
DeleteThank you for sharing your perspective, my sister in Christ. God be with you this day and always.
DeleteThank you Bob. You are such an inspiration and I enjoy your insights.
Delete40The child [Jesus] grew and became strong, filled with wisdom. And the favor of God was upon him.
Delete41Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. 42And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom. 43And when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it, 44but supposing him to be in the group they went a day’s journey, but then they began to search for him among their relatives and acquaintances, 45and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching for him. 46After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
47And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48And when his parents saw him, they were astonished. And his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.” 49And he said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?” 50And they did not understand the saying that he spoke to them. 51And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was submissive to them. And his mother treasured up all these things in her heart.
52And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man. jw
May God clarify the difficulty.
DeleteBob, Your words and wisdom never fail to inspire and encourage me. Thank you for your hard work and daily bread. There is no human being in this world that can fully understand the complete and perfect nature of the Lord. May we all strive to know Him better each day, and may all our questions be answered when we look upon His Countenance in the Glory Land.
Delete12 In the same way, we can see and understand only a little about God now, as if we were peering at His Reflection in a poor mirror; but someday we are going to see Him in Jis Completeness, Face-to-face. Now all that I know is hazy and blurred, but then I will see everything clearly, just as clearly as God sees into my heart right now.
Delete13 There are three things that remain—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
May we find God's love now! In Jesus' Name I ask. I seek. I knock. I praise. I thank. I yield. Amen.
Jis = His
DeleteThank you for this website. Sarah Young's book, Jesus Calling, has changed my life and taught me how to focus my attention on God by living in the moment, the Now. My book is getting tattered and I have lost a few pages and that's why I found you. I was missing the last two weeks of December. lol. Glad I did because I like reading the comments, too. This one little book, completely filled in all of the blanks regarding my faith. I was always a Christian, but did not know how to live that way. This book keeps my focus where it should be and teaches me how to walk with Jesus every day, how to be thankful in ALL situations, because his plan is always for good in the long run. It took me so long to get it right, but I know I have it right, now. I read the daily page every single morning and after about 7-8 years I still do it and most days the page seems entirely new and pertinent. Jesus speaks to me though this book. I read it closer and closer and many days, it seems as though the page was written for me personally. Many days it is the exact words I needed to hear to get me back on track or answer questions I had about a particular situation. I take Jesus literally and try and do the things he asks in the book and it has changed everything for me. Now I try and serve others first and have dropped my high expectations. I do things now, without expectations of reciprocation.
ReplyDeleteTo Unknown Unknown, I'm praying for you. I know although it seems you have been left alone, you haven't. I have had to learn more patience in waiting for God to provide answers to my problems, but I've found that by showing him that trust, even when it's so hard, he rewards me with knowledge of why it was better to be still and wait. When I was made to be still and patient, I started trying to think of others that I could help, no matter how small, to get my mind off of my problems and it started paying off in dividends. There are always others who have things worse and who could always use a friend willing to help. God is pleased with your trust, and your desire to live close to him, and in time he will show it. We are all safe, in God. God Bless you.
Thanks to you all! and God Bless!
regarding Jesus calling. I agree that it's unique format helps and it has been truly amazing how on target Sarah's writing and scripture selections are what I needed that day.
Deletewith regard to the rest... Amen!
This is a wonderful sharing of faith, unknown. Thank you for posting. To me, Sarah Young has been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write something that shows us again what trust looks like. The universal Church verbalizes the importance of trust but does not practice trust as much as it says it does. We are all guilty of that. I was a leader in the church for 42 years, being a part of a growing church and helping conflicted churches. I had to retire because I had lost my passion for ministry because of so much divisiveness. It tore my heart apart. Upon retirement a year and a half ago, the Spirit led me to start reading “Jesus Calling “. I quickly realized that I had not shielded my heart with trust. I had let the divisiveness get to me and it consumed me causing the loss of passion for my calling. I have not lost faith; I have lost the desire to serve. But I keep spending this quiet time in His Presence (and in the presence of all of you) for Him to work in my soul in what ever way He should choose. God be with you.
DeleteAmen!
DeleteBob, we are all thankful for your wisdom that you share with us! KS
DeleteOur Dear BOB,
DeleteThank you for sharing. You serve us well. Your passionate love for God is astounding. The divisiveness that tore your heart apart in "church" leadership is our JC Warriors gain. You are exactly where you need to be, serving Him and us as He leads you to. Heartfelt thanks to God through you.
Bob, I am so thankful you were called to serve God in this way. You are a beloved brother and member of our JC Family. God led you here to continue your ministry and fulfill His Plan for you. Rest assured that the abundant fruit of your labor always blesses and encourages us, and God is glorified. Much love to you!
DeleteThanks Allen for sharing how God's Holy Spirit hand carried your personal Invitation to you, to invite you to come into this Prayer Room. Many of our invitations came in a similar way and I am always awed to hear about them. Thanks again for sharing yours!
DeleteBob, you continue to teach and inspire with a greater impact than you may imagine. Happy New Year where we anticipate with excitement what the Holy Spirit moves you to share next. Good bless you and your family, including us in your online family 😉♥️🙏
Deletethank you for your words
ReplyDeleteOne amazing aspect of this forum has been the notable (and desirable) absence of criticism. I believe the growth of this blog in participants has been due to all of us focusing on prayer requests, insights, and agreement...and all of it due to our common interest in Sarah Young's Jesus Calling. God is here each day with us! I look forward to a new year with all of you here each day. God bless!
ReplyDelete"Unknown, sister in Christ" responding to Bob last year (2018), your opinion of this scripture or another's comments does not require refuting the opinion or insight of another believer. Yes, God came as Jesus but He also came as a baby in a manger. Many religious scholars believe that Jesus was truly human, who had to learn of His deity. How this knowledge was surpressed or how a baby would know He was God is as confusing as understanding how God can be the Trinity as Father, Son and Spirit and yet still be one God. Or how He created the universe that is so vast that it would take millions of years to visit the millions of galaxies. As C.S. Lewis wrote, if these concepts are confusing put them aside and focus on His love and grace.
So for 2020, Let us focus on the needs requested and prayed for here, our agreements in Christ, and in building the body of believers. Peace be with you. Amen
MadFox - you are so right!Thank you. KS
DeleteAmen madfox
DeleteAmen Madfox 🙏.
DeleteYes indeedy deedy, Madfox!
DeleteYou spoke for my heart.
Blessings!
Bring home the W. The End Game Win is focusing on prayer, insights for a closer walk, and agreement...and all of it due to our common interest in Jesus' Calling...Onward Christ-ian Soldiers. May we carry on in 2021.
DeleteMarching with these troops 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏!
DeleteAmen dear MadFox! Thank you for your words of truth! Your beautiful ending words are perfect for our New Year too.
Delete“Let us focus on the needs requested and prayed for here, our agreements in Christ, and in building the body of believers. Peace be with you. Amen”
I'm with CSLewis... whenever concepts are confusing, then put them aside and focus on GOD'S LOVE and GOD'S GRACE! Looking at the fullness of God's Spirit, Life and Love, and then imitating them in all our encounters would probably consume more time then we have on earth, leaving no time for Doctrinal disputes, at least not in my case! Be blessed.
DeleteThat Jesus was fully Divine and fully human from conception in the womb by the Holy Spirit,says more than we can ever understand this side of Heaven.
DeleteWhat a blessing it is to wake up in Your Presence, knowing that You are leading me along the way that is " uniquely right for me" and being reminded that I am "one of a kind". Thank You Father. May Your Holy Spirit keep me on this path and help me stay devoted to You with all that I am.
ReplyDeleteAs the New Year approaches, may we find ourselves completely, through losing ourselves in the LORD!
"Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it." - Matthew 10:39.
This deep and powerful verse explains the fate of our lives. It is the truth. Trying to find or save your flesh will cause you to lose your chances of having eternal life. Nevertheless, we will gain eternal life if we choose to lose our flesh.
JC family, I am standing in prayers with and for all of you. The same God who provided and sustained us from Jan. 1, 2019 to this day, has gone ahead of us to make a way for the next.
Blessings and Peace to all this last Monday of the year.
Maplewood NJ
Maplewood - "UNIQUE, ONE OF A KIND" AMEN!!! Teach me to love YOU more, reflect YOUR beauty, and be a blessing to those I encounter. I am safe and secure in YOUR presence.
DeleteTha is Maplewood NJ for encouraging my Spirit to ponder:
DeleteIf the end game Win is to lose the flesh for the journey into eternal life, why do we hold on so tightly to our fleshy life in the now?
If the end game Win is to take nothing back into eternal life with us, why do we hold on so tightly to things that must be left behind?
If the end game Win is to trust God 100% for entry into eternal life, why do we spend a % of our trust time worrying in the now?
If the end game Win is to live in Peace forever with God, why do we argue and strife in the now?
Like great Winning Sports Players and Teams, should we too focus and practice what we need to Win the end game?
Lord help us. Lord save us.
OOPS! ...THANKS Maplewood NJ
DeleteThanks, sweet Maplewood. May God guide me to finding myself through losing myself.
DeleteLoved your reply, dear Brie! Such good questions.
Praying 2021 brings us all many opportunities to decrease as He increases in us. Help me, Father God, to try my best to look outside of myself and others, to You for my guidance, strength, peace, joy, fulfillment, answers and encouragement. It is better to trust in God than man. Amen.
Saved and secure in Christ trusting in Him alone. May God bless you I am thankful to have found Jesus calling it has enriched my life. Former Army chaplain.
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Former Army Chaplain! And, Good Morning, JC Family. I am so glad that this was the first thing I read this morning before I let 'life's circumstances,' determine my outlook. The reminder that we will be loved individually and our unique needs met is a comfort. When I read, "In fact, the more completely you devote yourself to Me, the more freely you can love people." I felt myself relax. "Marvel at the beauty of a life intertwined with My Presence."
ReplyDeletePlease pray for my husband who caught 'the bug' that went through the family over the last few weeks. My Hub got sick on Friday nt. and has been struggling ever since. It is so similar to last year's events that we find ourselves 'shuddering,' at the memories, which is NOT what we need to do!
Praying that I can get him the medicine he needs without him having to go into the Dr. to be subjected to more germs (that's what happened last year) and that our new Dr. will trust what we know works.
Once again, our plans are cancelled (my poor sister and I have had to cancel twice in one week...), but thankful that I am off work and able to care for my husband. And, his sister, who is about 30 minutes away.
I will trust in the Lord and know the outcome will be the best for all of us.
Sassy Mom, I read about Lisa's results and will continue to hold her in prayer. And LCA: same with your Juan Carlos.
One of our children's songs from years ago just popped into my head, "The Lord knows the way through the wilderness - all we have to do is FOLLOW!"
Blessings to all as we wrap up this year. Maplewood, I loved your reminder, "The same God who provided and sustained us from Jan. 1, 2019 to this day, has gone ahead of us to make a way for the next." Bob, I read Luke, which you shared about in 2018. I'm so glad you are back. MadFox, I join you in focusing on the needs and requests posted here. I'm so very thankful for this site!
My prayers are with you, Norah, and for your husband. The path is not without its detours, but we will reach the end for which we live and breath. Oh, happy day!
DeleteI lift your husband up in prayer Norah. He is in good hands. Thank you Jesus. Continuing prayers for Lisa, Sassy Mom.
DeleteNorah, prayers to your husband for wellness. Amen.
DeleteWhat wonderful encouragement you left me, dear Maplewood, Thanks💗
Delete"The Lord knows the way through the wilderness - all we have to do is FOLLOW!"
We all have a unique path for which He has created us. We follow Him by walking it with prayer, in obedience, and seeking love above all else. Yet each of our unique path's converge with one another for we are all heading in the same direction to the same destiny, the one true God. We need each other's help to get there. That help comes in a variety of ways. This blog is one of them. Thank you for your help in my journey as we follow our Lord and Savior. God be with you.
ReplyDeleteThanks to Chris, all our JC Warriors and this Payton Place Prayer Warroom. My love, trust and journey to Destiny has been tremendously enhanced by all of you. Praise God from whom all blessing flow; praise God for all of you.
DeleteAmen Bob and all my brothers and sisters! So thankful to be with you all, as we come to His throne each day in praise and gratitude.This was God’s Will that we, who are of one accord, should be led here to worship Him together, and lift and encourage one another. Thank You Jesus! 💗😊🙏
DeleteThank you for your comments they refresh and minister to my heart.
ReplyDeleteI woke feeling fearful and asked God to remove my fears replacing them with trust in Him. I loved how the scripture addressed my concern and spoke to my fear! Thank you Jesus. I will pray for all of you upon closing! Glory to God. Lord keep us all connected to the vine.
Jesus abide in me and I in You. Show me how to love others as You do. I am made new as the old me has passed away. I rejoice and find peace in communion with You Lord. You will never leave me nor forsake me. Please continue to reveal Your path for me and guide my steps. I am beyond thankful that You are Lord over my life and have a perfect plan for it. Help me to trust in Your timing. I get frustrated with my circumstances somedays. Please help me to turn to You and take refuge in Your love when I feel like this. Amen
ReplyDeleteThank you for the prayers Mark L. Hope you don't mind but I borrowed it.
DeletePowerful prayer Mark..I'm 'claiming' it ! Your words/prayer are what I need this moment 12/30/23!

Juan Carlitos has a fatty liver and needs to lose weight. Lord have mercy. My aunt's funeral is on Saturday; I find myself thinking about my ma. God bless you all my friends; peace be with you!

ReplyDeleteTHE WASTE OF WORRY; OR THE PROSPERITY OF PEACE
✝️ Give your burdens and worries to The Lord and leave them there. He will carry them. He will permit the Godly to stand upright. I am trusting You alone, Lord to save me.
♥🙏🙏♥ Dear Heavenly God,
Thank you for helping us choose to focus on You rather than on the pandemic and other circumstances. Thank You for Your peaceful grace which allows us to pray to You and trust the answers that only You have, and for teaching us that worry is as useless as rocking back and forth in a chair that keeps us busy but gets us nowhere. Thank You for helping us follow Your Lead along a way that is uniquely right and using worry-time to marvel at the beauty of life intertwined with Your Presence.
😊Would You help us proove to You that we trust You?
😊Would You help us become willing to spend our gift of days celebrating and praising You rather than spend them on worrying?
😊Would You help us choose to live in Your peace, trusting Your Will, rather than drown Your gift of life in a sea of worry, the ultimate burial of our talents?
😊Would You help us accept the permission You give us to live in perfect peace with our minds stayed on you, rather than living in perfect torment with our minds stayed on worry?
I ask. I seek. I knock. I thank. I praise. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
Amen.
DeleteThank You Lord for everything. The Peace and comfort only You can bring is like no other. The Praise is yours.
Please Lord, increase our awareness of Your Presence. Strengthen us to be patient.
Teach us to be more like You Help us to hear Your whispers so we can follow Your will and Glorify You, Lord.
I want my heart to intentionnally praise You in every circumstance instead of complaining and worrying.
Thank you Lord. In Jesus wonderful name I pray, Amen.

But, we've made it, we are crossing over to a new beginning, and its ONLY by Your grace and mercy and NO works of our own! For that and so many others, we say THANK YOU FATHER.
May we set ourselves aside and allow You to lead us into the unique paths You have for each of us, giving You ALL the Glory You deserve. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Blessings and Peace.

Please help me to keep leaning in to you more and trusting in Your plan. I love you Jesus.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Lost and Found Department, Mark, where we lose ourselves to find God!
DeleteLove this Brie!
DeleteLingering beside the manger, contemplating the incarnation, these words caught my attention this AM: "But you must hold fast to faith, be firmly grounded and steadfast in it, unshaken in the hope promised you by the gospel you have heard..." (Colossians 1:23). The verbs specifically caught my attention; hold fast, firmly grounded and steadfast, unshaken. These are the intentions of the readings that have brought us together. This is what we strive in love to help each other to do.
ReplyDeleteGod be with you. With love, Bob
Yes! Marvel at the beauty of our lives intertwined with His Presence; and when we Marvel, then Rejoice in the Journey; and when we Rejoice, then Enjoy the Adventure!
DeleteAmen Bob, we must be steadfast and unmoving in our faith with our eyes always upward from whence our help cometh.
ReplyDelete"The Lord knows the way through the wilderness - all we have to do is FOLLOW!"
Amen, Bob! This is, indeed, what has brought us all together on this site!
ReplyDeletePrayers for you and Larry, Brie! Looking forward to a Victory Report. Praying that each of us has had a day of knowing that He holds our hands, every step of the way.
Blessing, JC Family!
Dear Lord, I believe I am in a trial by fire. You are working on me and I have no idea what you have in store, but I am at the end of myself. I've never felt so lost and alone and at the same time I'm suffocating from having no time to myself. That sounds so selfish. I have real feelings and just want to make life better for others, but I need to know how to get through my days so that I can get to where I can have a chance to do that. I'm sorry for being so overwhelmed and so lost. I know many people have far worse problems they are facing and I know that I am richly blessed while I'm in this season. I understand that it seems I'm just not turning it over and then trusting you completely to handle it. If you tarry to come back Lord I need you to show me what to do. If we are being raptured soon help me to save others souls to come to you. If in any way I'm not understanding or grasping something you're trying to tell me, please open my eyes and ears to receive your direction. Thank you Lord for the relationship, even though I am so undeserving. In Jesus name I pray. Please Bless and Keep all of this JC family and please hear their prayers and mine. Thank you Lord for all that you are to us. Amen
ReplyDeleteI am Praying for you Kathy. Can you get someone you trust to mind your Mom one day a week for a few hours, while you go outside and take a walk or otherwise get out of the house? I am praying from my own experience, and from my receiving counseling. Blessings for restings, Father. If it be Thy will, would you take away this bitter cup? Not my will, but Thy Will Be Done. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
DeleteDear Waiting, Your value does not come from how much you do for for others. You are worthy and valuable because God made and loves you! Be present. Be available. Respond to Gods call--when called! Give ALL to God, and "assist" HIM. I am blessed by your struggles as I feel I could have written it! Listening and providing my thoughts helps me on my journey. Prayers for you! Amen.
DeletePraying for you, Waiting. I feel your pain, discouragement and weariness in your words, but also, your strength of faith. Hold tight to His mighty Hand. He understands completely and has never left your side. You need His help right now bin someone who can lift some of your burden from you. God doesn’t want us to grow weary even in well doing. Now is the time to renew and restore yourself so you can continue your good work in the Lord. Praying God will answer our prayers and provide a caring helper to carry some of your heavy load so you can refresh yourself. Thank You Jesus!
DeleteThank you all my brothers and sisters in Christ..my precious blessing from God. Yes we were all led here by the Father..the Son..the Holy Spirit to this place..holy ground! Thank you Jesus! Thank you Jesus! AMEN!
ReplyDeleteCame home exhausted and by 4:30 I was asleep..almost 6 when I woke up. Thank you Jesus..I'm on nightwatch tonight..Brie, lifting your husband in prayer..praying always for all Maplewood, Ellen's daughter, Madfox, Bob..all my sisters. Keep us safe Lord; give us the strength to accept your will. Send us your helper Lord..your holy spirit! Amen!
ReplyDeletePraying for you and your family and with you for all. We shall overcome because we love and serve a great and merciful and powerful God! Hallelujah!
DeleteJoining you on night watch after an amazing day with outcomes that have me energized. Thank you Jesus!!!! Let go and let God!
ReplyDeleteAmen Audra, So happy for happy outcomes to His glory and your joy 💗
DeleteI am posting last night's prayer on here for all of you....please pray for Chris.
ReplyDelete"Dear JC Family, please pray for my friend Chris who had an aneurysm yesterday and is in the hospital on a ventilator. Her husband (who she has been caring or for the last several years through his cancer) found her lying on the floor yesterday morning. We have been friends for over 25 years and I just saw her last week at the store - so happy when I explained some SSA info for her. At the same store today, a friend stopped me and asked me to pray for her. Their youngest of two daughters is having her second child, any day now. I think about my prayers this morning and my commitment to TRUST. I am praying with all my heart or Chris and her family. Please join me, JC Prayer Warriors."
Joining warriors Norah for Chris &, family. We stand with you believing that Jesus will come to their rescue. He always does and will never forsake them. Amen!
DeletePraying for your friend Norah.
DeletePraying for Chris and her family and for you, dear Norah.
DeleteDear Norah, Praying with you for your dear friend Chris. God is with her now and is holding her tight in His love and care. He can do all things. He hears our prayers. I'm trusting in His promises. He is in the midst of us. Father, answer our prayers and heal Chris of her infirmities. Bring her back to perfect health and bless and strengthen her husband and their family and give her daughter a smooth delivery of a healthy baby. God grant our prayers we pray this in the Name of Christ Jesus the Risen Lord. Amen.
ReplyDeleteJoining in prayer with Jeanne and Norah. Father, place Your loving hands upon Chris and let Your healing power flow through her. Restore her Lord. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen.
DeleteThank You Jesus. Praise God always 🙌 🙏.
ReplyDeleteJC: "Because you are one of a kind, the path you are traveling with Me diverges increasingly from that of other people." Each soul sets out on its own unique journey when we are born and then mature into adulthood. We then may become rich or poor, live in freedom (or not), enjoy vigorous health (or not). God's personalized relationship with each of us allows us to be blessed on that path... especially if we ask or allow Him to lead us.
ReplyDeleteHow awesome is it to have a special one on one relationship with the Creator of the universe? Jesus told us this specifically in John 15:4: "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me." As we walk towards eternity each day, let us cherish His "holding of our hand" along the way. Godspeed.
Amen dear brother! Beautifully said and heartfelt! We are indeed blessed that He is with us every step of the way even into eternity.
DeleteYes, MadFox, thanks for posting this. When people have asked me why believe in and pray to God, I answer, "why wouldn't I want to have a one on one relationship with the creator of the universe?" If I had an inside track to the president of the United States or the queen of England, wouldn't you think I was blessed? Unfortunately, society has become so jaded and judgemental about religion that they can't accept that this could be true. But we indeed are blessed.
DeleteThanks, Mad 🦊 for your insight and prayers. I seek to strengthen my one on one relationship with the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE and my personal DEFENSE ATTORNEY in Jesus through love, trust and guidance from the HOLY SPIRIT. I pray the same for others, believers or not. Come Holy Spirit!
DeleteAmen! The most important relationship we have is with the Lover of our Soul and the Keeper of our Heart. Nothing else really matters. He knows us better than anyone and knows us even better than we know ourselves. What a friend we have in Jesus!
DeleteAs I was reading through the various posts from various years about the present year coming to an end and a new year starting with renewed hope, faith it will be better etc.
ReplyDeleteEvery day is in a way a “ new year “
Everyday has new hope
Everyday we work on our faith
Everyday we look to God to sustain us, carry us, give us what we need not always what we want
Everyday is a new beginning
Everyday the slate is clean
Everyday we have a choice…….
So Happy New Year
Or should I say Happy New Day!
Please continue praying for Sally
Thank you John S for reminding us that everyday can be a new beginning. Praying for Sally 🙏💕
DeleteContinuing to pray for Sally, dear John S. Thank You for your encouragement. Every new day is full of new possibilities in His presence.
DeleteWonderful, we are all so blessed to have a 1 on 1 relationship with Almighty God, through Jesus. So precious! Praying for all who mention prayer requests on this penultimate day of 2021.
ReplyDeleteEarlier this am, He spoke and said "With God all things are possible".
So to all on this JC Blog who are facing the humanly impossible, and desperately need an answer to prayer, the following is for you:
Matthew 19: 26 NIV
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Genesis 18:14
Is anything too difficult for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you-in about a year-and Sarah will have a son."
1 Samuel 14:6
Jonathan said to the young man bearing his armor, "Come, let us cross over to the outpost of these uncircumcised men. Perhaps the LORD will work on our behalf. Nothing can hinder the LORD from saving, whether by many or by few."
Job 42:2
"I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted.
Jeremiah 32:17
"Oh, Lord GOD! You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for You!
Jeremiah 32:27
"Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too difficult for Me?
Zechariah 8:6
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: "If this is impossible in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be impossible in My eyes?" declares the LORD of Hosts.
Thank you Peter, when I look around me it all seems impossible. Then I focus on how I am to look as a child of God. Then my whole perspective changes. Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4
DeleteAmen Peter! Wonderful food for my soul. Thank You.
DeleteHallelujah Terri! Amen! He is so much Greater than he that is in the world. We shall overcome!
Dear JC Family - Chris is awaiting the Return. She is at Peace and knew her future. Please continue to pray for her husband, two daughters (especially her youngest, giving birth on Monday, 1/3), her Grands and the many, many people she loved, blessed and who love her so much.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry Chris could not be saved but her reward is in Heaven. She is realizing God's promises. Praying for her youngest daughter's smooth delivery of a healthy child, and for the comfort and guidance of her family and loved ones. God's will be done.
DeleteBlessings and Peace to your Chris, Norah. I read all comments to Paul yesterday and told him about this wonderful online family. He was moved to tears. Thank you. One day at a time we are embracing each gift of moments together. ♥️🙏
ReplyDeleteAmen dear Audra! Praying for Paul. God knows his heart completely and he is in His loving Hands. Amen sister. One day at a time. Paul is surrounded by much love and many prayers. Thank You Jesus!
DeleteSo thankful for each of you, praying for my Dear Chris' family. My heart aches, as she touch SO many of my family's lives. I can't imagine what her family is doing right now. Again, my heart aches. I have a 7 yr old on my sofa (needs space away from his 5 yr old brother); settling in from a delightful day with my Sister and her Hub. Such a bitter-sweet day. All of the Best; all of the Worst. Think I better sleep. Oh, my aching heart; my joyful heart....SO thankful, that my Father gets my heart. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteSending a big hug, dear Norah, because you will miss your dear friend Chris and her family is devastated. They need comfort and your compassionate heart needs comfort. May God make all things better in 2022. We pray together for a blanket of healing and peace to sweep over this fallen world. Father, hear and answer our prayers for a better world coming and an end to this terrible pandemic. Thank You for Your Faithfulness in Jesus' Name.
ReplyDeleteAmen, Dear Jeanne. I am sick at heart. It's as if what the virus doesn't kill, the "Remedy," does. I keep reading Jeremiah 29:11 in different versions b/c it calms my sad heart.
DeleteJeremiah 10-11 "This is God’s Word on the subject: “As soon as Babylon’s seventy years are up and not a day before, I’ll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for." The Message
Thank you, Jeanne, for your prayers and hugs. <3
DeleteAs soon as I read the devotion, the first sentence said it all for me!
ReplyDelete"I am Leading You along a way that is uniquely right for you." Thanks for all your sincere prayers, messages and blessings. They go with me.
Seeing the Oncologist at 11. Looking forward to following God's lead to exactly what He knows is perfect for me for my healing and recovery. I ask Him to destroy any bad cells in my body because He already knows what's going on better than the doctor. May His Spirit give me all the right words to say and all the right questions to ask. And may God give me and Rick peace of mind as we to the doctor and receive all the information he gives us. Rick will be the note taker but God will be in charge. Thank You Jesus, for guiding the doctor to see me with his eyes and heart, and may the Spirit enlighten him to obtain everything he needs to know to get me better, and may God guide him to give me the exact treatment I need at the right time, and the strength to endure it. Thank You Jesus!
In Jesus' name, I am praying for, and with you, dear Jeanne. My praying Spirit, and those of our entire JC family will be in The Waiting Room and the office visit with you. Be blessed in Jesus' Name. Amen.
DeletePraying for you Jeanne as you head to the oncologist this morning. Praying that God grants you and your husband peace and calmness.
DeleteSC Anonymous
We are surrounding you with our safety net of prayers, Jeanne and Rick!
DeletePraying, dear Audra, that your shoulder is getting better every day and your flexibility is increasing as your pain decreases. God is faithful. Wait on Him good sister!
ReplyDeletePlease pray for my son Greg and his wife Mayra. Mayra wasn't feeling good a few days ago and now Greg has a fever and doesn't even feel like getting up. He just had a PCR test but won't get the results till Sunday. He had a rapid test which was negative and tests for the flu and RSV and they were negative. Thank you for your prayers.
Thank You Father for your healing of Audra and Greg and Mayra and me in the Name of Jesus. Amen
Psalm 103:1-5 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Praying with you Jeanne for you, Audra, Greg, and Mayra. May our heavenly Father place His healing hands upon all of you and heal you with His mighty power. May His peace, love and strength be felt within you all. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏. God bless.
DeletePraying for you Jeanne, as I have been led to pray….that this treatment given by your doctor will stimulate/generate the healing your own body is doing, and lead you to be cancer free. Amen
DeleteThank you dear Janet and Ellen! Amen and Amen! Receiving your blessings and I know God is hearing all our prayers!
DeleteThank you all for your prayers. I trust that this season of physical challenges will bring forth something renewed in me that is part of the plan I trust in but do not yet see.
DeleteEphesians 2:10: "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."
ReplyDeleteThis is the key to gratitude in our journey. Created for good works BUT, in this fallen world of free will, all kinds of disasters and miracles occur, and many at the same time. You develop an illness and yet your walk deepens in Him. You are blessed by children and come to know how it is possible to love unconditionally. Yes, it is in the valleys that we need and see our Lord. Praying for Jeanne and so many others that peace and His love envelope you. Amen
Thanks dear brother! Your words encouraged and lifted me. I’m feeling enveloped in God’s love and peace, and surrounded by so many sincere prayers as I sit here waiting to be called. I am indeed well taken care of and I am not afraid.
DeleteFear not, for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your God: I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand. Isaiah 41:10.
The leading of His ways are as unique to each of us as our fingerprints
ReplyDeleteIsaiah 58:11 NIV
The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.
https://youtu.be/7ddy6ta4e9I
Love that song!! Thank you so much, brother Peter. Lead on, Lord!
DeleteGiving thanks for each of you and praying fervently in the Spirit for all needs: for your appointment at 11:00, Dear Jeanne; for your shoulder, Dear Audra; for the thankfulness I have to see your post, Dear MadFox and for each of you on here and whatever you are praying for, know you have mine as well.
ReplyDeletePlease pray with me for a smooth-move of our office today and for all of the cases that will transfer to a new District - may God continue to bless them. Praying for the new cases I will receive and that God will work in me mightily to do the best job, possible. For my DH's continued health, answers to questions re: his carotid artery, eye and solutions to keep him strong and healthy. I'm also praying for the family I mentioned last year. They are still healing from the loss of their sweet Mom, who we know we'll see again.
Love and Blessings, JC Family!
Thanks sweet Norah! Your prayers are so appreciated. Praying for the smooth move of your office and God’s wisdom and strength to help you with your new cases and your daily chores. May God restore your dear husband to good health and strengthen all of his weaknesses and heal all of his infirmities. And give you both peace of mind. Thank You Jesus.
DeleteMy blood pressure, cholesterol, and liver enzymes are all high. I am going to do Dry January. Please pray for me.
ReplyDeleteArkansas Gal
One step at a time abiding in Christ for just enough light for the step you are on...in Christ, you are a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. In Jesus' Name, I pray for the new you! Amen.
DeleteMay God heal you in every way dear Arkansas Gal and return you to good health and comfort as only He can.
DeleteThank You dear Father for this in the powerful Name of Christ Jesus our Risen Lord.
Praying for you one day at a time, one step at a time, Arkansas Gal. And I’ll do a dry January with you! My daughter lives in Prairie Grove and it is gorgeous there.
DeleteMore prayers for my brother Keith. Brought to ER yesterday. Admitted to hospital this morning. Thanks Family.
ReplyDeleteAnd pray for me to see just enough of His Light to tred the path I'm on...the path you are traveling with Me diverges increasingly from that of other people. However, in My mysterious wisdom and ways, I enable you to follow this solitary path while staying in close contact with others...
Prayers with and for you, Brie and Keith, and the rest of your family!
Delete"… The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part."
♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️
Dear Brie --- I've been praying. Asking the Powerful Holy Spirit to hover closely over you and Keith to bring a manifestation of Divine Healing and make the crooked places straight. The Blood of Jesus over the whole situation. In Jesus's name who is our LORD, AMEN and AMEN.
DeleteThank you JC Warriors for your prayers for my SIL. Surgery went well yesterday, and no cancer was found in the lymph nodes they took when doing the mastectomy. Praise the Lord! My brother and their kids are ecstatic.
ReplyDeleteI'm praising God from Whom ALL blessings flow!
DeletePraising Him with you that our prayers were answered. May God heal your dear SIL in every way, restore her body, renew her mind and heart, soothe her, and bless her with a long and happy life.
DeleteThanks and praise to God most high!
DeleteThank you SC for the update. ALL Praise our Mighty God. He watches over His WORD to perform it! HALLELUJAH!!! JJ
DeleteThis JC reading today is so spot on (like every other day !) I do think of my life as a story written by God specifically for me. I cannot walk others journey/story and others can't walk mine. We can support each other in prayer and actions but we are given OUR story specifically for each of us. I pray we all accept our story so individualized for each of us. God is there every step of the way. Give us wisdom, strength, perseverance and an open heart to accept our unique and beautiful story written by the BEST author ever! Amen.
ReplyDeleteAmen dear ABC!!! He has a plan for each of us which is uniquely designed for us and no one else. Trusting in His Way because it’s the right one. He allows some rain to fall and also some dark storms because He has equipped us well to handle them. We don’t walk through them alone. He lovingly leads us by the hand. Thank You Jesus.
DeleteAmen
ReplyDeleteAmen to all above and know my prayers are with you as we head into the new year. God bless you all.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your prayers!!! We waited an hour to see the doctor but it was worth it! I liked my Oncologist. He made me feel at ease and said he did his homework and checked my medical records carefully. Very knowledgeable, kind, and experienced. He said he expects that I’ll do very well with the treatment. He examined me and said my lymph nodes were not enlarged and then he answered all our questions. Had my Bone Marrow biopsy today. Not fun! Jesus held my hand. He ordered a full body PET scan, an MRI of my face, and bloodwork. I will have to get 5 hour infusions of Rituxin 4 times. Don’t have anymore info or dates. Waiting on the insurance approvals. Thanks for your prayers! God was with me through the whole thing. He is so good. Going to rest now. Thank You Jesus!
ReplyDeleteSleep my little one. Sleep my pretty one. Sleep. We will cover you in prayers. Lullaby and Good night!
DeleteRest, Jeanne. Your mind and your body. The perfect treatment plan is unfolding, one day at a time.
ReplyDeleteLove you!
Thank you, Jeanne, for the update! This JC FAMILY/WARRIORS has got your back---not to mention The Great I Am, Jesus, The Promise Keeper and Most Powerful Holy Spirit. You can't go wrong with a team like that! The Great I Am said He DEFEATED our enemy and I BELIEVE HIM! Sending Bunches of Love and Blessings your way!!! JJ
ReplyDeleteDearest Jeanne, my prayers are to bring Jesus with you every step of the way. Peace and wellness on you each and every day! Amen.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Brie, Audra, JJ and ABC and all those who prayed for me! I did have a good long sleep and then I cooked alot and had a fruitful night. Back to bed in God's loving care. Hallelujah.
ReplyDeleteAmen dear JJ! He is a Promise Keeper, and we are all blessed to belong to Him. Today was a blessing and a bit of a trial but I felt secure with this good Oncologist, and I am encouraged that this treatment by Rituxin will fight any lymphoma in my body, and heal me along with God's amazing power. Don't know when the body scan, MRI, bloodwork and infustions will start but I am ready and waiting according to God's good timing and Plan. I told everyone who helped me today that Jesus was with me and I wasn't afraid. Thank You Jesus.
Goodnight dear ones, Let us all rest in Him who cares for us. Much love and gratitude.
I will both lie down in peace, and sleep;
For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
Psalm 4:8
Precious Jeanne --- Oh, I so love the Psalms and I love how you are keeping the WORD in front of you. This is how one looks through the eyes of VICTORY! God's WORD can bring change in our life when nothing else can or will. JJ
DeleteMy Father God, we pray for Your guidance, wisdom, and discernment to seek You in these final days/hours of 2023 and we look forward with excitement and joy for your promises for what is to come in 2024. Let us persist in journeying in faith, embracing each BLESSED GIFT regardless of what we see or feel. We love You Lord God Almighty, the NAME ABOVE ALL NAME and WHICH EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW! GOD WINS!!! Satan is a loser FOREVER!!! Much Love, Blessings and Abundant Life to my Beloved JCFAMILY/WARRIORS in the Army of the Lord!!!
ReplyDeleteYou spoke the truth dear JJ!!! I prayed your powerful prayer with you and I received your love and blessings. May God grant your prayers and bless and strengthen you in every way! We are more than conquerors! I am using God’s strength to care for my mother. He has stayed with me all day. I sure need Him. And He knows that well.
DeleteI loved this from today’s devotion. “In fact, the more completely you devote yourself to Me, the more freely you can love people.”
Let us continue to focus on Jesus and those things that will endure.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Amen JJ and Jeanne! Wonderful prayers and scriptures! Thank you both for sharing such a great encouragement. God bless 🙏.
DeleteThank you JJ for beautiful encouragement to usher us into the new year. Jeanne, you can do all the things through Christ who strengthens you. Caring for your mom is the mission of late that God knew you can accomplish with a the right attitude spiritually. He stands by the commission He's given you. He will not leave your side. 🙏💞🌈
DeleteJoining in and ReJoicing with the J's, JJ, Jeanne, Janet, Jan g and Jesus! Let us persist in Journeying in faith, embracing each BLESSED GIFT regardless of what we see or feel. We love You Lord God Almighty, In Jesus' Name. AMEN!
DeleteMe. Too. Recovering from a demonic attack that caught me off guard. Praying collateral damage can be restored to the TRUTH.
DeleteAmen to all above.
DeleteAlong with Audra, I am also praying for God to demobilize the harm and restore us from a demonic attack from a Bunch that caught us off guard.
DeleteIn Jesus' Name. AMEN!
Praying with my sisters with gratitude that all will be well because God’s in charge of all of our lives and knows our hearts intimately. He knows what we need and hears all our prayers. We are His dear children and He really cares about us so let’s trust Him together to make a way even when we can’t see one. He can do all things. Thank You Father for answering our prayers and comforting, guiding, healing, and strengthening us in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
DeleteProverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. (1 Corinthians 13:12).
ReplyDeleteAmen dear Janet! We will understand it all by and by and our joy will be complete.
DeletePsalm 103
ReplyDelete1
Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2
Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—
3
who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
4
who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,
5
who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6
The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
7
He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel:
8
The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
9
He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;
10
he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
11
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
12
as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13
As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
14
for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.
15
The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field;
16
the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
17
But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children—
18
with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.
19
The Lord has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.
20
Praise the Lord, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.
21
Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.
22
Praise the Lord, all his works everywhere in his dominion.
Praise the Lord, my soul.
