Come to Me with a teachable spirit, eager to be changed. A close walk with Me is a life of continual newness. Do not cling to old ways as you step into a new year. Instead, seek My Face with an open mind, knowing that your journey with Me involves being transformed by the renewing of your mind. As you focus your thoughts on Me, be aware that I am fully attentive to you. I see you with a steady eye, because My attention span is infinite. I know and understand you completely; My thoughts embrace you in everlasting Love. I also know the plans I have for you: plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Give yourself fully to this adventure of increasing attentiveness to My Presence.Romans 12:2
English Standard Version
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Jeremiah 29:11
English Standard Version
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
My Prayer
I come to You Lord, ready to change. I want to sing a new song to You. Thank you for a new day and that Your mercies are new every morning. I am ready to be renewed, so if you want to remove things from my life that I am holding onto, then I am ready. I will trust you, for you know what is best for me. This doesn't mean this year will be absent of trials, disappointments, heartaches, and difficulties, that is not what I am praying, but instead I want it to be lived in Your Presence, submitting and surrendering to You and accepting what You provide.
1/1/19
O God, my King, the great and awesome Lord, You are great. I am reminded Lord that you are most concerned about my future. You know what I need and You will use everything in my life for good. Help me daily to remember this future as too often I get overly obsessed with today and what is happening.

Thank you so much for posting everyday! I have the book on my nightstand and read it first thing every morning and before I go to sleep. I use your postings as a refresher during the day. So thank you again!!
ReplyDeletePraying this new year will give us more boldness to witness to the lost. I desire to have a closer walk with You Jesus. Anticipating YOUR second coming, I long to be in YOUR presence forever.
ReplyDeleteThank You, Lord for Your Grace and Mercy to see another new year, as we define it, begin. I love you Lord God. In Jesus Christ's Almighty Name, I listen, worship, praise, and obey Your Word as I hear You speak to me. Use me according to Your Will and for Your Purpose. Holy Spirit of God move me. In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
DeleteAmen! Thank you for this new day, a chance to begin again. May I "level up" to live the Christian life in a way that makes a difference in the lives of others. Thank you Jesus!
DeleteI too am glad to get the bible tags cause I'm often where my book isn't and it just helps. Thx
ReplyDeleteI also have the book. I have also given tbe book to my kids as gifts. Thank you for this online version. It's so helpful when travelling.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to All! I have the book, but I go to this blog daily. The prayer and comments are very uplifting and true to life. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! My sister gave me Sarah's book in 2012 or maybe earlier than that - I'm on my second one! But, I love these posts, prayers and the insight I receive from other believers. Our new year started out with several miracles that were the result of prayer. I am so thankful and ready for a new year and as said in the prayer, "I am ready to be renewed." Thank you Peyton Family for maintaining this blog.
ReplyDeleteAppreciating your blog these past 2 years. Thank you that scriptures are already written out. References only in the book. Have given the book out several times. May you and your family be blessed in 2019!!
ReplyDeleteI am with you. I have the book but this blog allows me to see the scripture without having to have a Bible or app. And I very much appreciate the insights offered by others who have found this blog. I would have bought the Jesus Calling app had it not gotten so many negative reviews. As stated by many, THANKS to PaytonFamily.
Delete...increasing attentiveness to His Presence...
ReplyDeleteThank you Lord for the Bible, my Jesus Calling book, my Brother Lawrence book and the Revelation I receive each day from you. You are a Holy and Awesome God.
As you and I prepare to move away from the manger and return to the world to which we have been called, let us take one last look at the nativity scene (Luke 2:16-21). There is lots of action in this scene; shepherds making haste and talking about what they had experienced, people being amazed at what they heard, and Mary treasuring and pondering in her heart what she heard. The shepherds returned to their calling glorifying and praising God, all others dispersed in what frame of mind is not told, and Mary embraced her child, the Messiah, and continued on according to the plans God had for her and the Child. As the decorations are taken down and our homes and lives return to normal, may the normal not mean the same again. May there be a new normal, one in which, like Mary, we hold dear to our heart this One we have celebrated and, like Mary, continue to meditate upon it, pray over it, and allow it to find its place in our thinking, speaking, and living. To fall in love with the One who is in love with each of us. May each of you be blessed richly in the New Year. God be with you!
ReplyDeleteAmen! And may you be blessed as well!
DeleteAmen! Sweet little baby Jesus. I can feel you ever so close to me like a baby. Thank you our father in heaven for giving us such a precious gift.
DeletePraying with everyone for a new and better normal and a good New Year in Christ.
DeleteToday’s prayer was my prayer. Praying also God closes any doors that need to be closed and open those doors that will bring me closer to Him and to the fulfillment of His Will and Plan in my life.
DeleteHappy New Year JC family . I am so glad God led me to this blog , where we are blessed everyday. Wishing everyone who is in this blog God's peace , guidance and blessings. https://youtu.be/1RPdCPUdrQ0

DeleteGood morning and happy new year! I'm excited to be traveling again (still) on this flight to glory with y'all!
DeleteMy 2021 thought for the day, borrowed from a kind pastor, "Boldness is just a step beyond convenience." I boldly take my first steps in the new year with the confidence of knowing God is with me and for me. Feeling blessed! ✝️♥️👏✈️
Happy new year to everyone in the JC family. I am definitely taking that flight , thanks Maplewood for sharing that.....
DeleteI had forgotten about this post from years ago and just read it again to get another chuckle. I love Maplewood’s creative insights!

Maplewood NJ
Happy & blessed New Year JC family 🥰! We sailed through 2019 with all the challenges it brought through the power of the mighty wind of the Holy Spirit. Praise be to God! Our blog family got even closer & love permeated through every word of prayer & encouragement. Thank you Chris for providing the avenue to do this, we are truly blessed. "Behold I will do something new among you, now it will spring forth, will you not be aware of it. I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, I will do something new". Love to all🥰
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year in Christ, dear Jan, and to all my JC Family. He is lighting our wilderness in a wonderful way. Thank you Chris for this Home for me with my dear Family. Thank You Jesus.
DeleteI'm getting into the car right now to visit my Mom for the weekend. God bless you all. I will try to check in later. Much love and gratitude. Love you all.
Happy New Year and blessings to all. Thank you Chris for this site - all the JC warriors are blessed with prayers, requests and more prayers. I wish all blessings and comfort and peace. Thank you JC warriors for helping each and everyone of us with your messages. KS
ReplyDeleteThank you Chris for this site. Thank You Lord for the prayers, victories, challenges and blessings shared by JC Warriors.
ReplyDeleteBLESSINGS, LOVE ♥ AND PEACE TO MY JC FAMILY.
Happy New Year JC family. I hope everyone had a safe and fun New Year's Eve. I look forward to sharing this blog with all of you in 2020. Let God bless us all in this new year and new decade. His love for us is incredible. Thank you Chris for providing this forum.
ReplyDeleteAs I sat in vigil for the coming of the new day and new year, I was given images for contemplation.
ReplyDeleteImage One came from Psalm 42, the image of the deer that longs for streams of water and how the soul should long for God, the living God. I was reminded of Mary sitting at the feet of Jesus unlike her sister Martha who in the moment was overwhelmed with fussing and fretting (Luke 10:38-42).
Image Two came from Luke 2:25-31, the image of Simeon who so longed for the consolation of Israel that it was his primary focus in his prayer life. I was reminded of the lame man by the Sheep Pool (John 5:1-9) who had been laying there for 38 years waiting for his chance to get into the stirred-up water to be healed and unable to do so. Then, along came Jesus to fill him with the strength to rise.
Image Three came from Luke 18:2-7, the widow who continually came to the unjust judge seeking justice, who eventually got so tired of hearing from her, he granted her request. I was reminded of the Canaanite woman who pleaded before Jesus for a scrap of mercy to free her daughter from the torment of a demon and Jesus, so touched by her faith, granted her request (Mark 7:24-30).
Image Four from Mark 14:34 where, in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus asks his disciples to stay awake while He prayed. I was reminded of the women in Mark 16 who awoke before the sunrise and went to the tomb with doubts of how the stone would be rolled away and lo, God had moved the obstacle in their hopes.
Image Five was from the painting by Sir Joshua Reynolds, The Infant Samuel Praying. It depicted young Samuel in the middle of the night on his knees, hands folded and eyes looking up with expectation. His prayer, "Speak, Lord, your servant is listening (I Samuel 3:10)."
Through these images the Lord made clear a proper spiritual posture for the new day and the new year, a humble spirit looking to God in confident expectation of His intervention. May God so help me to do. God be with you.
(I am grateful for this Vigil for New Year's Eve written by Father Peter John Cameron.)
That is beautiful, Bob! Thank you for sharing this. Happy New Year to you and your wife!
DeleteThank you, Bob! Your posts have been true blessings to me! CO
DeleteYou’re welcome, Norah & Anonymous. I appreciate your affirmations.
DeleteHappy New Year Bob! Thank you. Peace be with you and yours.
DeleteThank you Bob! May God guide me to choose the right portion in 2021.
DeleteMay I make the time to sit at His feet as He fills me with His love, wisdom and truth. May I live to serve Him, bask in His lovelight and rest in His presence and peace. Nothing else is more important.
Happy New Year, Dear JC Family. Thank you again, PeytonFamily for providing this space and encouraging us with your honesty and love of God's Word.
ReplyDeleteMaplewood!! That was an adorable post - thank you!!
Love, Prayers and Blessings to each and everyone of you who land on this page. We know from God's Word, that there is no such thing as coincidence - so if you are here, you are surrounded by dedicated Prayer Warriors and people who strive to do their best. Sometimes that means reaching out for help, sometimes it means just quietly 'listening,' and praying. Each of you have had a hand in my walk in 2019 and I thank you for your steadfast encouragement and devotion to God's people
Love,
Norah
Love, prayers, and blessings to you Norah. You are loved.
DeleteFood mornin, JC family!
ReplyDeleteAs we turn the corner to welcome 2020, please know your prayer requests from 2019 are still in my heart and prayers. There were so many and although I may not list you by name here, I have a running journal that I add to daily and I pray for you by name.
Here's to new adventures and miracles at our doors for the new year.
Prayers of peace, love and grace to you all today and always.

DeleteAmen Brie! We praise and honor Him and come to His gates with Thanksgiving.
As I enter the new year I have a lot to be grateful for a lot of blessings. My husband, daughter and I have been hunkering down in our home since March only to venture out for essentials and are well. I have been able to work from home so still have employment, unlike a lot of people that have lost their jobs. We have been living in the same home for the last 35 years and it has been peaceful here for all but 3 of these years. We now have a very disruptive neighbor next to us that likes to disrupt our peace any time she feels like it. I did have a good relationship with the neighbor's landlord to text her or call when the noise was loud so she could contact the neighbor to lower the volume but yesterday the neighbor approached my husband and announced that she was playing music NYE just to push our buttons. My husband called the landlord and that didn't go well because the landlord just doesn't want to deal with this situation but will not evict her tenant. My husband and I are at our wits end and contacted a lawyer for assistance because we are at our wits end and need some help. We are considering selling our property and buying another house just to have peace that we deserve at our age. My sister suggested this blog and I thought I would read daily because this whole situation is making me sick in body and spirit. Happy New Year to All.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, Welcome on board this blessed and prayerful blog, led by the SPIRIT of the Lord! You have entered a New Year with new hopes because Captain Emmanuel (God with you), has gone ahead to make all crooked place straight.
DeleteRelax and trust Him! God is with you and knows your circumstance.
Blessings and Peace.
Maplewood NJ
Praying for a positive outcome and for you to be filled with His Peace that surpasses everything. God bless you.
DeleteBlessings from France
May God bless you and your family and lift you up out of this situation. Father, please change the heart and mindset of anonymous neighbor and make it new. Help Your light reach through to her. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏.
DeleteDear Anonymous, You have taken your burden to the Lord. Now leave it there. Our Heavenly Father is a Way Maker. May He guide you to the help you need to resolve this disruptive behavior and difficult situation. Rest in Him who cares for you.
DeleteAmen Janet! May God’s spirit work inside the heart of your neighbor so she will do the right thing. Thank you Jesus!
To GOD the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I give ALL Thanks, Glory, Honor and Thanksgiving for ushering me and my family into a New Year, trusting in His Sovereignty for all our tomorrows. I am also grateful to Him for this body of believers:

“See how very much our Father loves us, for He calls us His children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don’t recognize that we are God’s children because they don’t know Him. Dear friends, we are already God’s children, but He has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He really is. And all who have this eager expectation will keep themselves pure, just as He is pure” (1John 1:1-3 NLT).
May Your New Year be filled with Hope and Grace, may the Joy of the Lord remain your Strength, May His Word remain Food for your soul, may your Faith and Trust in Him never diminish, may you wait in Expectancy, may Unity and Love remain in you and may the Love and Light of Jehovah God, shine in and through you so brightly that the lost will chase after what you have, and may the Almighty covenant Blessings for Obedience in Deut. 28:1-14 be yours and that of your families in Jesus’ name!
“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me.” (John 12:32).
HAPPY, BLESSED and HEALTHY NEW YEAR on board SALVATION AIRLINE Flight 2021!

Despite how simple it may sound,
I pray that His Grace will abound.
In all of it, in everything you do,

May His Spirit comfort you and make you strong.
May He discipline you gently when you're wrong.
And in your heart may He give you a song.

DeleteAmen and Amen and Amen! Thank you sweet Maplewood! Securely fastened in and happy to be on board with our final destination, the Glory Land, in God’s perfect timing. Looking forward to a great flight in good company especially in the cockpit!
DeleteI cannot express enough how much your daily encouraging words, Maplewood, help to "steer" my day. Yesterday's and today's about this past year behind and new year ahead rev me up, if you will. As Janet said, you are a great inspiration and encourager. I feel really blessed to be part of this awesome JC family. I consider one and all friends (hope that's okay to say) in that you're all "lifters-up" to one and all who come here and have done so for me when needed and I hope I have done so for you. I'm definitely onboard flight 2021 and hope to "see" you over the next 365 days ahead! Blessings, love, healing, comfort, prayers to all of you!
DeleteBefore entering the walkway to board, remember to use the doorMatt to shake all the 2020 dust and dirt from your feet as you leave it to enter Salvation Flight 2021. YOU CAN'T MISS THE MATT, as it is clearly marked MATT 10: 14.
DeleteRepeating my 2018 prayer: Praying this new year will give us more boldness to witness to the lost. I desire to have a closer walk with You Jesus. Anticipating YOUR second coming, I long to be in YOUR presence forever.
ReplyDeleteTeach me to say NO to anything that hinders my relationship with Jesus. Climbing on board SALVATION Flight 2021 with Captain Emmanuel.

DeleteHappy and Blessed New Year JC Warriors. I pray for a healthy and happy year for everyone and their families. I continue to pray for everyone who seeks healing whether it's physical, emotional, or spiritual. Keep fighting the good fight and know that the good Lord is in your corner.

DeleteHOPE IN 2021. A NEW PERSPECTIVE.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to all reading here, first timers, long time readers, and active and sporadic bloggers... often referred to as the JC Prayer Warriors. As Sarah writes in her imagined translation of Jesus, "I also know the plans I have for you: plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you *HOPE* and a future." As we know, that future could be a plan to be with Him in heaven sooner than one thought!
As I marvel at the past few years of my journey, I can honestly say that many of the valleys were far less below the mountaintop (NOT so deep at all). And the imagery of God holding my hand along those paths is vivid and real. For new readers, I've been diagnosed with a rarer form of Multiple Myeloma, and just finished Cycle 2 of 4 prior to a planned stem cell transplant. Baseline Day 1 of Cycle 3 blood work was drawn on Wed., which showed continued great news... amazingly, ALL cancer markers are in normal range or near normals. I determined whether it's good or bad results, with my unexpected 4 hours a week in IV Chemo, that I was called to spread HOPE (the light) of CHRIST.
This week, the sweetest lady custodian retired after 45 years. So, due to steroid insomnia about 430 a.m. yesterday, the "not a baker" male Madfox baked star and angel sugar cookies... They were acceptable - not great!! Ha ha. Also, made a poster saying she was a star at her job and an angel for keeping us safe by sanitizing and keeping the chemo infusion rooms so clean with a smile and sweet disposition. The Nurse Mgr. who has an issue with me on spreading the light previously, again barked and complained about a picture and my efforts which were subdued and very low key. I HOPE it is due to issues at home, so I ask you to pray for her heart to soften towards all, as staff rolled their eyes at how she reacts to these very subdued "light" moments..., "where one or more are gathered in prayer..." I am benefitting as YOUR JC and others PRAYERS HAVE BEEN POWERFUL AND EFFECTIVE. Much appreciation to all. Agape. AMEN.
Praying for Nurse Mgr's heart to be softened.

Sweet Brie, as I have related in the past my personal and professional situation requires me to be anonymous. If I was not anonymous, I wouldn't and couldn't provide the level of detail that I do to this blog. Others feel or have similar limitations. So, please take no offense, but for here, please use "Madfox Nurse" and God will sort it out. In today's litigious environment, it isn't worth the risk! I've also not allowed family or friends to edit my take on their comments or even allow approvals... this all is to be more open and allow for more understanding. I would NOT have mentioned this at all in an "on the record" or if I used my real name. Written with true agape and peace. ❤✌
DeleteI understand completely.
DeleteMadfox Nurse it is.
Thanksgiving Prayers are continuing to God for so many blessings in Madfox Nurse's life that they overflow to you and all his/her patients.
🎶 Change Madfox Nurse's heart, O God, make it ever new. Change Madfox Nurse's heart, O God, make it just like You. God, You are the Potter, Madfox Nurse is Your Clay. Melt, mold and use Madfox Nurse, this is what I pray. Change Madfox Nurse's heart, O God, make it ever new. Change Madfox Nurse O God, until s/he's just like You. Amen.
I will ask my friend, JMD to pray on Madfox Nurse with me. Last time I was in the hospital with a Nurse situation similar to yours, my friend JMD prayed on it and the next day, POOF! The nurse was gone and the replacement was a dream come true!
DeleteIn the meantime, have you Matthew 10: 14'ed Madfox Nurse yet?
Love and Blessings to you Madfox. Now pass out the homemade cookies ;)
Praying with you Brie 🙏. Father, please change Madfox nurse's heart and make it new. Let it reflect Your light on the world and put a smile on her face and others around her. Keep Your loving and healing hands on Madfox and bring forth Your will. Let his light shine bright to all those around him. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏.
DeleteJoining prayers for MadFox Nurse, Thank you Father for softening her hardened heart and opening her blind eyes to see clearly Your light, love and peace surrounding her. And help her resolve any personal problems and heal her weaknesses and her family. Lift her burdens and bring her a light and happy spirit. Amen.
DeleteLord, thank you for this day and the beginning of a new year. Help me to remember that Your blessings and mercy are new every day and to trust in Your plan. You know all facets of me, where I shine and where I need work. Please teach me to lean into You in moments of struggle. You are the Christ worthy of all praise, honor, and glory. Please guide this sheep to not wander but stick close to You.
ReplyDeleteYour prayer is mine.
DeleteMay I keep my focus on You dear Lord and May You reign above all else in my heart and life. Thank You Jesus!
FROM 1 CHRONICLES 23
ReplyDeleteTHE BEST WAY TO BEGIN PRAYER!
✝️Each morning and evening they stood before The Lord singing thanks and praise to Him!
♥🙏🙏🙏♥ Dear Heavenly Father God,
Thank You for hearing, no matter what we pray for. Thank You Father for all You have already done, are now doing, and will do in our life. You are an awesome God and we really appreciate You. Thank You for helping us be new and different with a fresh newness in all we do and think, sing and praise, and ways we give thanks to You.
😊Would you help us do far more thanking, than complaining?
😊Would You help us develop a positive attitude that begins and ends with thanks in every situation and all circumstances before asking for anything else?
😊Would You help us make gratitude the foundation of our prayer life and make us outrageously thankful for Your Kingship, Friendship, Intimacy, Increases, and Your Greater Blessings?
I ask. I seek. I knock. I praise. I thank. In Jesus' Name Amen.
Luke 9:16
DeleteJESUS took the five loaves and two fish and looked up into the sky and GAVE THANKS;
John 6:11
Then JESUS took the loaves and GAVE THANKS to God and passed them out to the people. Afterwards he did the same with the fish. And everyone ate until full!
Ephesians 5:20
Always GIVE THANKS FOR EVERYTHING TO OUR GOD and Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Colossians 1:3
Whenever we pray for you, we always begin by GIVING THANKS TO GOD the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

And whatever you do or say, let it be as a representative of the Lord Jesus, and come with Him into the presence of GOD THE FATHER to GIVE HIM YOUR THANKS.

DeleteHappy New Year my JC FAMILY/Warriors!!! I latch onto a verse from Psalm 96 for such a day as this: "At the dawn of the New Year I'm filled with hope for what is to come, and have thankfulness in my heart for what has passed." I come boldly to The Throne of Grace and find Your Mercy and Grace. So, to start the year off right, satan, I command you to take your filthy hands off of all of the JC Warriors and by Jesus's blood release them from any bondages or strongholds you think you have on them. I plead the blood of Jesus to cancel ALL the commands of the power of darkness that touch any of their lives. Father, cast the evil spirits into the deepest recesses of hell and chain them there forever! Great Blessings and Your incredible Favor over each JC WARRIOR and each step of their journey. Father, You are our Redeemer, Deliverer, Healer, and Restorer, Hallelujah Forever!!! I leave you with this quote to chew on: "With God, what's possible will always be infinitely greater than what we believe to be probable. And we can be thankful that such a reality means that where we see a wall, God wishes to unveil a horizon. (Craig D. Lounsbrough) And Father, thank you for Your will to be done upon my beloved United States of America! In His Grip of Grace, JJ

DeleteAnother year, and I repent
ReplyDeleteChristmas Day has come and went
All the money that was spent
For all the gifts we have sent
I have a gift
That doesn't quite fit
It's all my sins
I want to quit
I've boxed them up
All in a row
Even gave them
All some how's
I'm returning them now
With a great cheer
I know You'll receive them
By the new year
Thanks for the lessons
And all the tears
But I'm letting them go
Take them from here
I may not be perfect
Not even close
Yet You accept me
Even gave me the ghost
That was awesome dear Janet! You did very well. Thanks!
DeleteSuppose to be bows. Sorry guys. See, I'm not perfect.
ReplyDeleteYou are perfect Janet and precious in His Eyes and ours. Thanks for the poem. Love you!

ReplyDeleteI greet you this New Year beloved JC family, in the name of Jesus and Thank Him for the safe landing of flight 2022! Thanks to the Father from whom all blessings flow and thank Him for His grace and mercy that has brought us this far.
Most gracious loving Father, Thank You for crossing us over into a New Year and all that You have prepared for us in the days and months ahead. I prophesy great health into our lives and that of our families this 2022, I declare that we are victorious in every area of our lives. May the power in the blood of Jesus detach us from all burdens that are not from You. We break and separate ourselves from any evil link that may want to hold us back from our purpose and Your Promises. We declare that we have been set free in accordance with Your Word. Therefore. No weapon fashioned against us will prosper. We declare that as we have stepped into 2022, we are walking victoriously into the glorious destiny designed for us by You in accordance to Jeremiah 29:11. This is our prayer in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
Beloved, God has a strong reserve with which to fulfill the promises He made. He is able to do all things.
He is so mighty that HE ALONE holds the pillars of the earth. Which means we should TRUST HIM in and through ALL things.
He will never out promise HIMSELF or go beyond what He won't do. WHAT HE SAYS HE WILL DO, HE WILL SURELY DO.
The boundless reservoir of HIS grace, Strength, Blessings and prosperity can never be emptied! For this and so many other blessings, let's keep giving thanks, and trust Him regardless of what we are going through. He remains true and faithful. He will NEVER forsake us!
HAPPY and BLESSED NEW YEAR JC Family. Please take time to enjoy:

DeleteDear Maplewood NJ, I have asked this of you in the past, but because of no answer, I am assuming that you had never read it. I would love to take some of your thoughts over the years and make a small devotional booklet out of them. The thoughts and prayers you have shared with us have been so very meaningful, so I thought it would be a great idea to share them in another way. It would be titled Maplewood NJ and I would only go forward with this idea with your permission. Please let me know what your thoughts are regarding this. Blessings and Peace right back to you!
DeleteAmen! Glad to hear from you Maplewood!

ReplyDeleteHello JC family. I have been reading the book Jesus Calling daily for years and found this blog several years bac, for which I am so grateful. Reading the added scripture and prayers has been so helpful and the comments from everyone have helped remind me we are all struggling but God is present in our lives. I would like to ask for prayer for my family. I have 4 daughters, ages 5 -21 years old. My 19 year old has moderate to severe autism and it has always been an extreme challenge for us, as she can be aggressive and hurt her sisters. The one saving grace has always been that she goes to bed around 7 p.m. and sleeps through the night till about 7 a.m. This allowed me downtime to spend with my other children and my husband, not to mention myself. I work full time as an LPN and am entering my second semester in school for my RN. This past week, my daughter has not been sleeping and has been getting up multiple times through the night, which means so am I. I cannot imagine a world where she does not sleep, as that as always been how I have managed to get through the days. She has also become more agitated.Please pray for us to return to a healthy sleeping pattern and for Jesus to bring peace to my daughter's mind. Thank you so much for being here, it means so much to me. God bless you all and Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteDear Eve, You have had so much on your shoulders. Your daughters all need your attention and you are working so many hours. Praying that your 19 yr old daughter will receive God's peace in her heart and mind so she can return to a full night's rest and you can resume your peaceful end of your days with the rest of your children.
DeleteThank You loving Father for this in the powerful Name of Christ Jesus, our Risen Lord. Amen.
Thank you so very much! I appreciate your prayers more than I can say. ❤
DeleteIt did not show my name on that first response. This is from Eve.
DeleteJoining the JCPW in loving prayer.

DeleteEve - Praying strength, wisdom, guidance, and rest as you pursue your second semester for your RN. Praying protection and a return to healthy sleeping patterns for all. God's richest blessings to JC Family for 2022.

DeleteOn my many trips to NJ (at least 3 or 4 times a year for decades) I must have gone to Cherry Hill Mall a thillion times. I recently became aware how near I was to Maplewood NJ. My heart leaped at the thought and started singing, maybe, just maybe, I'm On The Street Where You Live!
DeleteDo not cling to old ways as you step into a new year. Thanks for checking us in a new way as we step into the New Year. Much Love, Brie
Thank you dear Maplewood. Praying with you and for you. Be blessed in 2022. God is in our midst and He isn't going anywhere. Greater is He that is in us than he that is in this fallen world.

ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful prayer entering this new year Janet! Thank you and amen🙏
ReplyDeleteA new day, a new year. Blessings and greetings, Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteThank You Lord for this New Year.
Earth begins a new rotation around the sun.
By Western counting we've started on the 2023rd rotation since the birth of Jesus Christ, Anno Domini (AD) "in the year of our Lord".
I find it interesting that we still refer to AD. The world has modified BC to BCE, but AD so far has been kept.
After Jesus' Crucifixion came His Resurrection, then He still living, ascended to Heaven.
Therefore as Jesus is alive, every year that passed is His year, the 'year of our Lord'.
In one of His years, He will return. Maybe this year? When He does we will meet Him.
1 Thessalonians 4:15
Those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not precede those who are dead.
1 Thessalonians 4:16
The dead in Christ will resurrect first.
1 Thessalonians 4:17
The living and the resurrected dead will be caught up together in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
From The Message:
The Master’s Coming
13-14 "And regarding the question, friends, that has come up about what happens to those already dead and buried, we don’t want you in the dark any longer. First off, you must not carry on over them like people who have nothing to look forward to, as if the grave were the last word. Since Jesus died and broke loose from the grave, God will most certainly bring back to life those who died in Jesus."
15-18 "And then this: We can tell you with complete confidence—we have the Master’s word on it—that when the Master comes again to get us, those of us who are still alive will not get a jump on the dead and leave them behind. In actual fact, they’ll be ahead of us. The Master himself will give the command. Archangel thunder! God’s trumpet blast! He’ll come down from heaven and the dead in Christ will rise—they’ll go first. Then the rest of us who are still alive at the time will be caught up with them into the clouds to meet the Master. Oh, we’ll be walking on air! And then there will be one huge family reunion with the Master. So reassure one another with these words."
I reassure and encourage you with these words 'Jesus is returning'!
The Bridegroom is coming for His Bride, better be dressed and ready!
Wow Peter! Thank you for this uplifting post to start this new year- god bless you !!
ReplyDeleteI pray that when He returns I will be ready and in a state of holiness. We can never know the time but we can try to live each day to please Him and give Him glory.
ReplyDeleteAmen! Jesus is returning. May God lead me every day of the rest of my life until His return and right into eternity.
Matthew 25:13 - Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
You will be ready, Jeanne. He is walking you through...

Transform me my Lord, that I may fully receive your blessings and love the abundant life you have planned for me, set free from all the chains that bind me. Forgive me oh Lord of my trespasses and guide me in my daily journey with you, to stay on the path of righteousness so that others may see you in me.
ReplyDeleteTo you be all glory, honor and praise!
Happy New Year family. May it be a blessed one. Shalom🙏
KEYS FOUND! Thanks be to God, thanks for all who prayed, and thanks to "Tony", and thanks to God's Holy Spirit for waking me during the night and telling me where to look in the morning! What once was lost to me, is now found! How great is our God!
ReplyDeleteYeah, Brie!!! High Praise to our Divine Locksmith! Divine intervention sure knows its way around misplaced keys!
DeleteBut we all with unveiled face,
ReplyDeleteBut we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. (2 Corinthians 3:18).

DeletePraise Jesus❤️
DeleteIsaiah 55: 6-7 Seek the LORD while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
