Where is your delight?
Good morning heavenly Father. Thank you for another day with you. Thank you for a day of delight. Thank you for your Word which is my delight. And thank you for the scripture that speaks of this:
I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.
I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. (Psalm 119:14-16)
Lord, I’m here again. I’m here on behalf of your daughter you love. I’m lift Lindsey up to you Lord. Put delight into her heart Lord. As she reads your Word every day, put more delight in her heart. Let it be something she looks forward to in her day. Let her long for that time to spend with you in your Word. And we give you the glory. The glory is all yours. Glory! I pray this in the name and authority of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
May God grant you wisdom to shine before all those watching you
Heavenly Father, good morning. Yes, what a good morning. What a good start for this day. Thank you for allowing me another day to see your beauty all around me wherever I go. And thank you for the scripture to use for my prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. (Daniel 12:3)
Lord, I’m here to lift Lindsey up to you. Lord, grant her more of your godly wisdom to help her choose wisely the paths that are before her. Many are watching her Lord, so I ask that you protect her with your wisdom. I ask that you help her to be a shining example before the world. Let her shine wherever she goes. Let many of those watching her turn to righteousness. And we will give the glory to you. The glory is all yours Lord. I ask this in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
Prosper and find success as you wholeheartedly strive for that which is good and right
Good Morning Heavenly Father. Thank you for a beautiful fall day. Thank you for the crisp clean air. Thank you for the leaves on the trees as they change to yellows, oranges and reds. And thank you for the scripture for today’s prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was good and right and truth before the Lord his God. And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered. (2 Chronicles 31:20-21)
Lord, it’s me. I’m here on behalf of Lindsey, who loves you with all her heart, just as Hezekiah did. She strives to do that which is good and right in your sight Lord. So I ask that you continue to prosper her and make her successful as she goes on her journey, walking wherever you ask, throughout the world. And we will give you the glory. The glory is yours. I ask this in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
Watch who you sit, stand and walk with. Delight in God’s Word.
Good morning Heavenly Father. Thank you for quiet. Thank for the still moments in the day and the night that we can pause to meditate upon your Word. Thank you for this delight. Thank you for bringing meaning to the words in your Word and bringing it alive for us. And thank you for the scripture for your daughter Lindsey today:
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. (Psalm 1:1-2)
Lord, I’m here again. I’m here on behalf of Lindsey, your daughter you love. She strives to avoid walking according to the advice of the ungodly. Lord, I ask that you surround her with godly advisers. Lord, I ask that people she trusts will give her godly advice. Lindsey, I pray that you find delight in God’s Word each day as you read it. I pray that you find joy in meditating over it’s words. I pray that you find ways to rejoice in how God’s Word shows you how to live. I ask that the Lord would light the way before you today and give you the courage you need to walk on that path. And we will give the glory to God. All the glory is his. Glory! I pray this in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
Consider the great joy in knowing that Jesus has risen
Good morning Heavenly Father. Thank you for community. Thank you for how the staff in restaurants can be such a good example of how to serve others. Thank you for that same serving attitude that I see around me. And thank you for the scripture for today’s prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. (Matthew 28:7-8)
Lord, I’m here again. I’m here on behalf of Lindsey. Lindsey, today’s scripture paints an interesting picture of joy… the joy of realizing that Jesus rose from the dead! I pray that you would find more of this joy today as you consider something you already know a bit more carefully. Joy is something we want to share. So, I pray that you will have the opportunity today to share your great joy that Jesus is risen with other disciples around you. And we will give the glory to God. The glory is all his. I pray this in the name and authority of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
Gladness can accompany times of sacrifice and offerings
Good morning Heavenly Father. Thank you for the new day. Thank you for watching over me during the night and refreshing me when I wake so that I can start the day anew with you. And thank you for the scripture to use for today’s prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the Lord your God. (Numbers 10:10)
Lord, I’m here. I am here to lift Lindsey up to you. She loves you Lord. She tells people how she loves you! Lindsey, this scripture from my favorite book helps remind us that our sacrifices and offerings to God are not a drudgery. I pray that you would be the one it speaks of. That you would be there with your violin, playing a joyful tune or praise and thanksgiving to God just as the Israelites did with the sound of trumpets. May the Lord hear your joyful tune and see your thankful heart. May God come close to you at these times. May you feel his presence with you during your times of offering, sacrifice and special festivals! And we will give the glory to God. The glory is all his. I pray this in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
Godly friends can refresh your heart in times of need
Good morning Heavenly Father. Thank you for differences … how soft is not hard; sweet is not sour; loud is not quiet. And thank you for the scripture for this prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord. Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say. (Philemon 1:20-21)
Lord, I’m here. It’s me again as usual. I’m here on behalf of Lindsey, your daughter. Lindsey, this scripture is interesting. Paul is writing to his brother in Christ and tells him that he is confident that this brother he is writing to will be more than just obedient and do more than that required. Knowing him like this was refreshing to Paul. He could feel the joy of the Lord by just knowing this other man. Lindsey, I pray this scripture over you from both sides. I pray that you might be like Paul and have many godly people that you have so much confidence in that you know they will be there for you when most needed. I pray that the Lord would fill you with his joy as you interact with them. May your heart be refreshed. But I also pray that you would be like “the other guy”. I pray that others may see you as THEIR godly friend who they can count on during times of great need. I pray that they would feel God’s joy in them even as they merely tell you about their significant need. And together we glorify God. We give all the glory to him. I pray this all in the name and authority of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
God Gives Grace, Glory and Good Things!
Good morning Heavenly Father. Thank you for restoring my health. Thank you for our wonderful bodies that you designed to recover from bumps and scrapes as well as many ailments. And thank you for reminding us of your many good things you hold in store for us, including for your daughter Lindsey:
For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. (Psalm 84:11)
Lord, I’m here. I’m here on behalf of Lindsey who loves you and strives to walk uprightly each and every day. She aims to live with integrity before all those around her and to do what is right. Lindsey, today it is my joy to pray the joy of this scripture over you! Yes indeed! I pray that God would continue to be your sun and your shield … that he would continue to be your protector everywhere you go. I pray that he would grant you a double portion of grace and glory today. I pray that he would bestow favor and honor on you. I pray that he would continue to shower you with his many good gifts that he has in store for you. And we will praise him this day. Sing praises to your God today Lindsey, for he is good. I pray this all in the name and authority of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
Read scripture out loud. Listen to it being read aloud to you!
Good Morning Heavenly Father. Thank you for creating this magnificent universe just for us. Thank you for the tiny and for the huge. Huge as in stars… and galaxies! And thank you for the scripture to use for this prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. (Revelation 1:3)
Lord, I’m here. I’m here on behalf of Lindsey, your daughter. Lindsey, today’s scripture is interesting in that it seems to talk about having scriptures read out loud! This resonates well with me because for over six years a tiny group of us has been meeting every weekday morning in a coffee shop or restaurant to read scriptures out loud around our table. It is quite amazing how much reading a passage out loud helps … especially if you also hear it read out loud TO YOU! And so that seems to be what I am to pray for. Lindsey, I pray that you will be able to read scriptures out loud with a tiny group that you trust. I pray that you will be able to LISTEN as others in the tiny group read passages of scripture aloud. I pray that speaking and hearing them will bring you further understanding. I pray that this also will be a way to get together with others regularly with God’s Word! And we will give the glory to God. All the glory is his. I pray this in the name and authority of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
You are a peculiar and special treasure to God
Heavenly Father, good morning. Thank you for my life. Thank you for my breath. Thank you for my beating heart and my mind that is functioning so well. And thank you for your scripture for this prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: (Exodus 19:5)
Lord, it’s me. Yep, I came to sit with you again. And right now I’d like to lift up Lindsey to you. She loves you Lord. She strives to obey your voice and keep your covenant. I ask that today you would show her how she is a peculiar treasure to you. Show her how special she is to you today. And we will give all the glory to you. The glory is all yours Lord. Glory! I pray this in the name and authority of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
