Rest, and let your Heavenly Father carry you like a father carries his child
Heavenly Father, it’s me. I am enjoying your presence now and thank you for your promise to be with me, that if I draw near to you then you will draw near to me. Thank you for walking with me, for being my guide, for lighting the way. And thank you for the scripture to use for today’s prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
The Lord your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes; And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the Lord thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place. (Deuteronomy 1:30-31)
Lord, I am here … let me rest in you. And while I rest here, let me begin today’s prayer for your daughter you love. Today I pray for you Lindsey, that you would see before your eyes how your God goes before you and fights for you. I pray that you will see how God not only fights for you, but also can pick you up and carry you when you let him. If you feel exhausted, just rest in him and let him carry you for a bit, just like a father will carry his son. And we can give the glory to God. All the glory is yours Lord. I pray this in the name and authority of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
Lindsey, if you hear God knocking, open the door quickly!
Good Morning Heavenly Father. Thank you for another day with you. Thank you for your promise to be with me always. However, before I begin praying for your daughter Lindsey, may I first ask if you would grant me rest. I need rest right now Lord. But now let me look at the scripture you gave me for my prayer this day for Lindsey:
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3:20)
Lord, I’m glad to be sitting with you now. It is a high point of my day (as always). And right now I lift up Lindsey, your daughter who loves you. Lord, if you are knocking on her door for something, I ask that you knock loudly and continually till she hears and opens the door to you. Then I ask that you have a wonderful meal together, laughing and sharing stories as you let her know the path that you are setting before her. But I also ask that you show her how compassionate you are. Grant her mercy. And we will give the glory to you. The glory is all yours Lord. I pray this in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
Seek the Lord with all your heart and soul and you will find him
Good Morning Heavenly Father. Thank you for the sunrise and the sunset, both magnificent in their beauty and their splendor. No artist can exceed the beauty that you set forth in your creation. And thank you for the scripture to use for my prayer for Lindsey today:
But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. (Deuteronomy 4:29)
Lord, here I am. I came to sit with you and to lift up your daughter who loves you. Lindsey, I pray that you will continue to seek the Lord with all your heart and soul. I pray that you would find him today, just as he promised you would. I pray that he would bring clarity to your day and to your journey. And we can give all 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…)
Trust in the Lord and his mercy and lovingkindness will surround you
Good morning Heavenly Father. Thank you for another interesting day with more “coincidences” that just had to be you! Thank you for letting me be normal again today (defined as: feeling your presence all around me all day). And thank you for the scripture to base my prayer for Lindsey today:
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about. (Psalm 32:10)
Lord, I’m back. Out of breath, but couldn’t wait to be here with you so that I could begin another prayer for your daughter you love! Lindsey, today I pray that you will always trust in the Lord. And I pray that the Lord would show you his mercy. That you would be surrounded by his mercy and lovingkindness. I pray that you will feel God’s faithful love all around you all day today as well as tomorrow. And we will give the glory to God. All the glory is yours Lord. I pray this in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
Tell the next generation about the Lord’s strength and wonderful works
Heavenly Father, good morning. What a nice bright sunny morning it is. Thank you for the sunshine. Thank you for the green grass seen everywhere once again. And thank you for the scripture to base today’s prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. (Psalm 78:4)
Lord, I am here again. I’m here to begin today’s prayer for your daughter. Lindsey, I pray that you will be able to show the coming generation the praises of the Lord. I pray that you will be able to show them the Lord’s strength and his wonderful works. I pray that you won’t hide them from the children but will find opportunities to show them. And we will give the glory to the Lord. All the glory is his. I pray this in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
A chance to reconsider what God has asked of you and to do it
Heavenly Father, good morning. It finally is feeling like Spring. Thank you for the change of seasons. Thank you for the winter that helps me to appreciate spring more. Thank you for your Word and for the stories that Jesus told, even the ones that I don’t think I fully understand yet (and I ask you for further understanding). And thank you for this particular story that I think I finally figured out, at least partially:
But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. (Matthew 21:28-31a)
Lord, it’s me. Here I am! You asked me to pray and to keep on praying for your daughter you love so much. And so I am. I am praying another prayer for you today Lindsey. Today I believe I am to pray that you jump at the chance to do something God has asked you before but somehow never got done. Or the chance to go somewhere God asked you before but that you hesitated and didn’t go. I am praying for you today Lindsey, that you recognize this and jump at the chance that God gives you to reconsider and do it now (even though previously you had told him “no” or “I can’t”). And I pray that the Lord would give you the courage to do just that. I pray that he would show you the path you need to take and that he would make it very clear to you. I pray that obstacles would be removed for you. And I pray that God would give you the words when you need them. And we will give all 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…)
Look out for the interests of others
Heavenly Father, hello. Thank you for the heart of compassion. Thank you for a humble love for others. Thank you for eyes to see that which is not visible. And thank you for the scripture that is the basis of today’s prayer for Lindsey, you daughter:
Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. (Philippians 2:4)
Lord, I am pleased to be here. I am happy that you call me to come sit with you every day so that I can pray for your daughter Lindsey. It is a joy to lift Lindsey up to you Lord. I pray that you extend the compassion in her heart. I pray that you enhance her vision to see that which is not visible. I ask that you help her to look out for the interest of others ahead of her own interests. I pray that those who are watching her will see this and want to do the same! And we will give all the glory to you Lord. The glory is all yours. I pray this in the name and authority of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
Lindsey, continue being childlike as you are a walking Gospel even to people who don’t realize it
Heavenly Father, good morning. Thank you for flowers. Thank you for the tulips that we have in a vase in our kitchen. And thank you for the wonder before our grandkids eyes when we put blue food coloring in the water in the vase and the next day the white tulips were turning blue and the yellow tulips turning a bit green. Thank you for children who can show us how we should look at the kingdom of heaven. And thank you for the scripture to use for today’s prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. (Matthew 24:14)
Lord, I’m here again, and what a joy to know that you will be here when I come to sit with you. I am ready to pray for your daughter that you love! Lindsey, you are already going into all the world and all nations. I pray that everywhere you go you can just continue being you, and that the gospel will shine forth without any extra effort on your part. I pray that just being you will reveal your zeal for your God and that it would be something that others want to have as well. You can join with the children who also reveal aspects of the kingdom, for Jesus told us to be like the little children! 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
Added Scriptures:
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 18:3)
and
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 19:14)
Continue to be Zealous for God and ignore any resulting insults
Heavenly Father, good morning. Wow, quite a thunderstorm this morning. More of your awesome thunder and lightning, but especially the downpour of rain. I am amazed at how you have arranged to store up tons of water up in the clouds and then release it as rain at the right times. Your are an amazing God and worthy of our praise! Thank you Lord. And thank you for the scripture that I should use for today’s prayer for your daughter who loves you:
For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me. (Psalm 69:9)
Lord, I’m here. I am ready to pray for Lindsey again, and today’s scripture is a very good one for her this day! Lindsey, I pray that you continue to be zealous for God, for his name and for his house. I ask God to protect you from the insults and reproach that result from your public acknowledgement of your God. I pray that you remain zealous regardless of the insults that you know will come at you. I pray that the joy of the Lord would be your strength at those times. Remain joyful Lindsey. 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…)
May the Lord give you rest and go with you on all your journeys
Good Morning Heavenly Father. Thank you for thunder and lightning. Thank you for the awesome display in the sky. Thank you for the beauty in the flash of light across the sky. Thank you for the power in the clap of thunder. And thank you for the scripture to use as the basis for my prayer for your daughter you love:
And Moses said unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people. And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me,carry us not up hence. For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth. And the Lord said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name. (Exodus 33:12-17)
Lord, it’s me again. I enjoy being with you. And now I’d like to pray for your daughter Lindsey. I pray that you would show her your ways. I pray that you would teach her your ways so that she can continue to find favor in your sight. I pray that you would speak to her today and tell her that you know her by name and that she has found favor in your sight. I pray that she would feel your presence with her where ever she goes. And I pray that you would give her rest. Lindsey, rest in the Lord today. And we will give all the glory to you Lord. The glory is all yours. I pray this in the name and authority of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
