(W) God is Wondrous
Heavenly Father, thank you for my heartbeat. Lying down on my left side on my bed, I was able to “hear” my own heartbeat. Thank you for the heart in me that keeps beating consistently so that I can in turn say thank you for my life! How wonderful you are in creating me with a continually beating heart. And thank you for the scripture for today for the letter W to remind us that you are wondrous!
Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. (Psalm 72:18)
Lord, good morning. I anxiously come to sit with you today. In the midst of everything going on around me I know that I can come sit with you anytime. So, here I am to lift up your daughter Lindsey. I ask that you let her see your wonder today, even more than she usually does. Arrange for her to see something from you that is totally wondrous, completely wonderful! And we will give you the glory. All the glory is yours Lord. I ask this in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen. (more…)
(V) Jesus is the Vine
Heavenly Father, thank you for light. It just occurred to me that without light, our eyes would see nothing. The beauty of the trees, of flowers, of flying birds would all go unnoticed if there were no light. Thank you for light! And thank you for revealing to us with the letter V that Jesus is the vine, we are the branches and without him, we can do nothing!
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. (John 15:5)
Lord, it is so fantastic living in this world with you. Living life without you is almost incomprehensible to me at times. And so it is with great joy that I am here with you again, as I am each day. I am here to lift up your daughter Lindsey, and to ask that you continue to be the strong vine for her. She is abiding in you, and so I ask that you let her bear much fruit. She knows that she can do nothing without you, and so this day she sets out to see what she can do WITH you! Lord, I ask that you continue to show her the way to go. I ask that you continue to surround her with godly men and women. And I ask that you let her see the amazing fruit that she has been producing – fruit that she never would have dreamed about ten years ago. And I further ask that as she continues to walk with you and to work with you that her fruit will continue to be overflowing. And we will give you all the credit Lord. All the credit and all the glory is yours. I ask this in the name of Christ Jesus, the vine that we abide in. Amen. (more…)
(U) God Upholds You
Good Morning Heavenly Father. The bare trees against the snow outside look wonderful. Thank you for all the many many bits of beauty you spread all over this world, this universe! Thank you for letting me see just a tiny part of it. And thank you for the scripture for the letter U to remind us that you uphold us as we cling to you!
My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. (Psalm 63:8)
Lord, I start today anew. I start today fresh with you, invigorated and ready for the day. And now I come before you to lift up Lindsey, your delightful daughter. You have so many plans for her. She has seen the many plans in the past come to fruition with extraordinary results. She trusts in you Lord. So, I ask that today you would remind her that you are there with her, next to her, right at her side. You will be there all day watching over her and upholding her. Remind her to simply cling to you this day, to merely follow hard after you. Remind her that you are there every step of the way. And we will give you the glory. All the glory is yours Lord. I ask this in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen. (more…)
(T) Jesus is the Truth
Heavenly Father, thank you for keeping me safe and secure. Thank you for reminding me of the truth when presented by lies of the world. Thank you for blessing me with discernment to know when something spoken is truth or a lie. And thank you for the scripture for my prayer referencing the letter T as I pray again for your daughter Lindsey:
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)
Lord, here I am again, as usual, ready to pray for your daughter Lindsey who loves you so much. I ask that you increase her discernment today. That you make it easier for her to distinguish between what is truth and what is NOT! Open her eyes to the truth, open her mind to the truth, open her heart to your truth. And we will give you the glory. All the glory is yours Lord. I ask this in the name and authority of Christ Jesus, the way, the truth and the life. Amen. (more…)
(S) God is my Strength, my Song, my Salvation
Heavenly Father, good morning! I welcome the new day with you. As always, I can start this day anew, start it fresh, with no worry about where I was yesterday. Thank you for the sun that rises each day. Thank you for the moon and the stars at night. Thank you for the world you created! I praise you… I exalt you! And I thank you for the scripture for today’s prayer:
The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him. (Exodus 15:2)
Lord, yes, it is me. I am here to pray for Lindsey, the daughter you love. You are her strength and her song. I pray that today you remind her that you are her salvation. Fill her with even more strength directly from you. Lord, be a sweet song for her today. Be the melody and give her the harmony. Let the room around her reverberate with your joyous music. And we will give you the glory. All the glory is yours Lord. I pray this in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen. (more…)
(R) God Rejoices
Heavenly Father – Yay! From Q for quiet to R for rejoicing. Thank you for revealing bits of yourself to us in your Word! It seems Paul understood this when writing to the Philippians when he told them to rejoice always. We should rejoice because you rejoice! Thank you for giving us so many ways to rejoice. With singing, with dance, with laughter. Thank you for the scripture to use in my prayer this day:
The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. (Zephaniah 3:17)
Lord, I come here before you with joy and with singing. I come here to joyfully lift up your daughter you love, to lift up Lindsey, your daughter as you sing joyfully over her. And I pray that she, in turn, will rejoice with you today. Let her rest in your love as you calm all her fears. You are mighty, Lord, but you are singing and rejoicing as well. Let Lindsey feel your delight in her today. Let her be inspired by your joy and your singing. Rather than put this inspiration into words, let her put it to music. Let her music resound through the room and into the heavens. And we will give you the glory Lord. All the glory is yours. I pray this in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen. (more…)
(Q) God is Quiet, Silent and Calm
Heavenly Father. Thank you for vision. For the wonder of my eyes. For the millions of shades colors I can see. For depth perception. Thank you for peripheral vision. Thank you for allowing me to read. And especially, thank you for your gift of scriptures that I love to read … and today for letter Q I can see how you can be quiet at times too:
So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry. (Ezekiel 16:42)
Lord, I have been encouraged by godly people you have surrounded me with. I am encouraged that in the midst of your wrath against your own people in Jerusalem, you reminded them that you also can be quiet, silent, calm. And today I am here as usual to pray for your daughter Lindsey. I pray that you will allow her to find you today. That she can find you resting and not angry. That you will calmly sit with her when she needs you. I pray that today you provide extra time of rest for her. I pray that you calm her fears, calm her anxiety, calm her nerves. And we will give you all the glory. The glory is all yours Lord. I pray this in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen. (more…)
(P) God Preserves You With Songs
Hello Heavenly Father. I am happy to welcome another day. Another new day with you. Thank you for waking me this morning and for creating this world made to be just right for us. Just right temperature, just right gravity, just right oxygen in the air, just right! Thank you for everything you created from the tiny to the huge. And thank you for letting us know that you preserve us from trouble and surround us with songs!
Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. (Psalm 32:7)
Lord, I am here again. I come before you to lift up your daughter Lindsey. She loves you and gives her life to you. You are her hiding place. I ask that today you preserver her from all trouble. I ask that you surround her with songs of deliverance. You know that Lindsey loves music, so I also ask that you let her hear some of the songs that you surround her with. Open her ears to hear them, even for just a moment. And we will give you the glory. All the glory is yours Lord. I ask this in the name and authority of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen. (more…)
(O) God is Omnipotent, the Almighty God
Hello Heavenly Father! Thank you for your many blessings you have showered upon me and my family. Thank you for being our provider as well as our protector. Thank you for being my guide. And thank you for the scripture that tells about you for the letter O … that you are Omnipotent and Almighty:
And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. (Revelation 19:5-6)
Lord, here I am again as I continue to come each day to lift up Lindsey, your daughter you love. And today I ask that you add her praise to mine as we lift our praise to you our God saying Alleluia, our God omnipotent reigns. Alleluia, for our Lord God Almighty reigns! I pray that you would come sit with Lindsey this day, that you would let her see a bit more of your power, your glory, your greatness! Yes, and we in turn will give all the glory to you Lord.

Thank you for the godly people you place in my path this day as you always have in the past decade! And thank you for the scripture that reminds us that you are nigh, that you are near. I just need to draw near to you and you draw even nearer to me. I just need to call on you and there you are – near to me! Thank you for the scripture that reminds us of this for the letter N this day:
The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. (Psalm 145:18)

Lord, I have been anxious to come and be with you now. I am eager to come near to you. And now I wish to ask something for your daughter Lindsey. Lord, I ask that you be near to her today. Even more than usual. Be near to her the entire day so that she can truly sense your presence all around her. And we will give you the glory. All the glory is yours Lord. I ask this in the name and with the authority of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen.
