Prayer
MAY…
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13)
May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(1 Thessalonians 5:23)
May your love abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God! (based on Philippians 1:9-11)
🙏Praying for you, dear Brothers & Sisters…🙏
Just Ask!
Have you put off praying because you think it’s something you can take care of on your own? Or you think it’s too little for our great, big God to have to deal with? Dear ones, God is waiting to help you, if you will just ask. Are you ready? He is!
KARAV: Draw Near
I returned from ministering and serving at Karav a couple of days ago. It was a time of reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones. ❤️
It was a joy to lead and teach two classes on the preparation of the Bride of Christ for our coming Bridegroom. The focus Scriptures were The Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25:1-13) and The Wedding of the Lamb (Revelation 19:7).
It was a blessing and honor to pray for my Brothers & Sisters in Christ and to speak God’s encouragement and love over them.
Along with ministering to others, I am so thankful that I was able to worship our precious Lord and draw near to Him. I am overwhelmed with how He poured out His love and anointing upon His people. And I am overwhelmed with how He ministered to me. I will never be the same!
Thank You, Lord, for calling Your people to draw near!
“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you…”
â€â€James‬ â€4‬:â€8‬ â€NASB1995‬‬
BELOVED OF GOD! ITS TIME TO DRAW NEAR! CAN YOU HEAR THE LORD CALLING? CAN YOU FEEL THE BEAT OF HIS HEART? HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH AND HE’S WAITING! IT’S TIME TO DRAW NEAR!! ❤️💥💥❤️
MEMORIES…
I am blessed to have some ministry opportunities coming up in the near future. So, it was time to declutter and organize my office space!
I have two handmade prayer shawls hanging from the back of my chair given to me by two dear friends. I have a picture of Jesus entirely made from the words of Scripture. It was given to me years ago by a former student and is so precious!
I have a wooden communion cup brought back from Israel after taking communion with my touring group.
I have a photo card that my host family sent me as I was resting on their couch during ministry times at their church.
I have plaques given to me during my teaching career and on my retirement.
As I sit in my office space, I am so thankful for all of my friends, family, and ministry memories. ❤️ And of course, I am thankful to Almighty God!! All glory and honor to HIM!!
And I am excited and expectant for what the future holds! There is MORE to come!!
HALLELUJAH!!!! 💥💥🔥🔥🔥💥💥
PRAYER…
Lord, I thank You for this day! I ask that You would take everything in it and use it to mold and shape me into the person you would have me to be. Forgive me, Lord, when I have fallen short of walking in Your plan. Help me to reach higher – to reach for Your plan for me – and
not settle for mine.
Open my eyes, Lord, that I may see!
Open my ears, Lord, that I may hear! Open my heart, Lord, that I may love!! May it be so, Lord, in Jesus’ name!!
Amen!
National Day of Prayer
JEHOVAH RAPHA
After church, I decided to get some food from a local restaurant to take home. The restaurant was overflowing with “after church diners”. It ended up being a loooong wait for my order!
But God used this time to use me in prayer for a precious woman undergoing chemo after cancer surgery. First, I prayed with her husband after he shared with me about the situation. Then later, he introduced me to her and I had the honor of praying with her when we were alone together (if you can be alone in the middle of a crowded restaurant)!
I have to say though…it felt like it was just me, her, and the Lord. Everything and everyone else simply fell away into the background…
Thank You, Lord, for using me today for my Sister and for Your glory! I’m so glad for the long wait!! I love You, Jehovah Rapha!! ❤️
