(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…)
(N) God is Nigh; God is Near
Good Morning Heavenly Father! Thank you for waking me to welcome another glorious marvelous day. Thank you for watching over me during the night and guiding me during the day. 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)
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. (James 4:8)
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.
Define: nigh – near in space, time or relation (see dictionary.com)
(I) God is your Instructor
Heavenly Father, good morning! Thank you for this new day. Thank you for letting me see more bits of your glory today. Thank you for revealing more bits of your beauty this morning. Thank you Lord. And thank you for the scripture to use for my prayer for your daughter Lindsey … a scripture that reminds us that you are her instructor, her teacher and her guide:
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. (Psalm 32:8)
Lord, it is with great joy that I come before you on behalf of Lindsey, who loves you so much. I ask that you continue to be her instructor, her teacher and her guide. Show her the way that she should go today. Light a path before her and help her to see it clearly. Then I also ask that you give her the courage to walk that path and that you give her words whenever she needs them. And we will give you the glory, Lord. All the glory is yours! I ask this all in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings and Lord of lords. Amen (more…)
(G) God is your Guide
Heavenly Father, thank you for creating us with senses so that we can see, hear, smell, taste and touch things in the world around us, in your creation! I can see lightning and a few seconds later I hear the thunder. I can smell a chocolate chip cookie just out of the oven, I can grab one and feel its warmth, and then I can enjoy its wonderful taste (yes, I do enjoy homemade chocolate chip cookies). Thank you for all five amazing senses that I am blessed with. And thank you for the scripture to use for today’s prayer for Lindsey, the daughter you love:
For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death. (Psalm 48:14)
Lord, it is me here again praying for your daughter Lindsey. She knows that you are her guide each and every day. She knows that you have been her guide and that you always will be her guide for every day of her life. Lord, she is looking for your guidance today. I ask that you show her the way. I ask that you light the path before her. Let her clearly see they way you would have her go, and then give her the courage to walk that way and give her words when she needs them. And we will both give all the glory to you Lord. All the glory is yours. I ask this in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
(F) God is extremely Faithful – with new compassions each morning!
Good Morning Heavenly Father! And a wonderful morning it is too. Thank you for watching over me and waking me this morning with your compassions! Thank you for being such a faithful God and for sending me new compassions every morning without fail. Thank you Lord. And thank you for the scripture that confirms your extreme faithfulness that I can use for my prayer for your daughter this day:
It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23)
Lord, it is another day, another joy to be praying for your daughter Lindsey. Today I ask that you let her encounter your compassion. Let her wake up experiencing your faithfulness to her. I ask that you let her know that it is you today, this very morning! 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…)
(D) God is our dwelling place
Good Morning Heavenly Father. Tomorrow we celebrate the birth of Jesus, our Savior. And today I thank you for being with us always. Thank you for being our guide. Thank you for speaking to us today. And thank you for providing another scripture that tells about you as our dwelling place:
A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. (Psalm 90:1)
Lord, it is a joy to continue praying for the daughter you love and delight over. Lindsey is an inspiration to many. And today I pray that you will continue to be her dwelling place, that she may find her home with you. Let her feel at home in your presence Lord. And we will give you all the glory. All the glory is yours Lord. I pray this in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)

He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. (Micah 7:19)
Lord, I am here before you again to continue my prayers for your daughter who loves you so much. We are so grateful that you have cast our sins into the depths! Thank you for having compassion on Lindsey and I pray that she could witness this with her own eyes this day. And we will give you all the glory. All the glory is yours Lord. I pray this in the name of Christ Jesus, Lord of lords. Amen (more…)
Troubles? Trust in the Lord who is good!
Hello Heavenly Father! Thank you for watching over my family yesterday. I know you will watch over us today as well. Thank you for always being with us and never leaving us. Thank you for being our guide, for lighting a path for us to follow. Thank you Lord. And thank you for highlighting this scripture for me so that I would use it as a basis for today’s prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. (Nahum 1:7)
Yes, it’s me here before your throne. I am here again to lift up your talented daughter who puts all her trust in you. I ask that you care for her in good times as well as days of trouble.
