Why are you cast down? Why are you disquieted? God is Your Exceeding Joy!
Good morning Heavenly Father. Thank you for a new day. Thank you for allowing me to sleep at night so I can wake in the morning, new and renewed. And thank you for the scripture to use for today’s prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. (Psalm 43:4-5)
Lord, I’m here again. I’m here to lift up your daughter who loves you. Lord, I ask that today you be Lindsey’s exceeding joy. Fill her with your joy Lord. And then give her a chance to play it back to you on her violin. Let her play her song that reminds herself NOT to be cast down, NOT to be disquieted and NOT to allow that inner turmoil. Instead, renew her hope Lord, for you are her salvation and each new day she can sing and play her praises to you. Yes, all the glory goes to you Lord. The glory is all yours. Glory! I ask this in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
Women joined in playing music to the Lord
Heavenly Father, good morning. Thank you for movement. Thank you for legs that move me around on cushioned steps. Thank you for my feet that keep me balanced. And thank you for the scripture for today’s prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels. (Psalm 68:25)
Lord, I’m here again, as usual. I am ready to begin another daily prayer for your daughter Lindsey. I ask that you let her be like the young women who played on instruments as part of a procession that honored you God. Let the music glorify you Lord. I ask that you provide Lindsey with many opportunities to glorify you in her music and dance. And we will give the glory to you Lord. The glory is all yours. Glory. I pray this all in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
Praise God with Violin and with Dance
Good Morning Heavenly Father! Thank you for the weather! Thank you for the ever changing weather. And thank you for the scripture for today’s prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. (Psalm 150:3-6)
Lord, I’m here again. I am ready to lift up your daughter you love again this day! I ask that you give her ways to praise you with violin and dance. Let her praise you along with all that have breath. Let her praise you along with all of creation! 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…)
Praise God with your violin among many nations
Good morning Heavenly Father. Thank you for hummingbirds, so small and pretty as they dart here and there between their favorite flowers. And thank you for the scripture for today’s prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations. (Psalm 57:7-9)
Lord, I’m here again. I so look forward to the times when I can simply sit with you. And now I offer up another prayer for your daughter. She has the musical talent and skills. She is filled with the joy of the Lord. And now I ask what seems to be a big prayer. Let her heart be fixed on you God. Let her heart be ready. Let her be determined Lord. Wake her early so she can sing and play to you. Let her wake the sleepy dawn with praise. Let this be her joy regardless of what nation she is in. And we will give you the glory. The glory is all yours Lord. I pray this in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
Rejoice! Praise God with Dance! Sing Praise with harp and lyre
Heavenly Father, good morning. Thank you for the great variety of food and drink! Today I thank you for coffee (and hot chocolate … and the two intertwined as Mocha). I also thank you for the next scripture to use for my prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints. Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. (Psalm 149:1-3)
Lord, I am here to sit with you again, as I begin another daily prayer for your daughter you love. Today I ask that you give her a new song. I ask that you place a new song in her heart and in her mind. Let it be a song of rejoicing. Let it be a song that she can dance to. Let it be a song that gives praise to you Lord, even while others may not recognize exactly why the song seems so “good”. And we will give the glory to you Lord. All the glory is yours. I ask this in the name and authority of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
God’s statutes can be your song everywhere you journey!
Heavenly Father, good morning. Thank you for the moon which is full and bright this night. Thank you for the halo around the moon (often it means rain the next day). Thank you for the way the moon can actually look different at times, bright white to beige. And thank you for the scripture for today’s prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. (Psalm 119:54)
Lord, I’m back. I’m here to pray for Lindsey, your daughter who loves you and strives to follow your commands and statutes. Today I ask that you would let obeying your statutes be like a song to her. Just as music is part of her life, let following you be just like another song to her. Let your statutes be her song wherever she journeys to. And the glory is yours Lord. All the glory is yours. I pray this in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
Can you play songs of praise to those who mock you?
Heavenly Father, good morning. Thank you for eyes that see. Thank you for the beauty in a rain drop. Thank you for the beauty in a puddle. Thank you for the beauty of one raindrop as it drops into that one small puddle. And thank you for the scripture for today’s prayer for Lindsey your daughter:
We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth,saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. How shall we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land? (Psalm 137:2-4)
Lord, I’m here again. I came to sit with you, and to lift up your daughter to you. Are there times and places where she is not to play her violin, even in praise of you? Can she step aside rather than play to those who mock her God? Grant her the wisdom and discernment to know when to play and when not. And let her feel your presence with her at the times when she is playing to you Lord. And the glory is all yours. Glory! I pray this in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
Let your violin play music to our God!
Heavenly Father, good morning! Thank you for the godly people you surround me with. Thank you for the support and encouragement that these others provide to me. And thank you for the scripture to use for today’s prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God: (Psalm 147:7)
Lord, it’s me. I’m happy to come sit with you today. It is a joy to be with you and to know that you are indeed with me always … now and every step of the way. But right now I pause to lift up your daughter you love. I lift Lindsey up to you Lord. She is extremely talented with the violin as well as with composing music. I ask that you show her how her violin can be singing praise to you. Give her the notes, give her the tune, give her the harmony. And then give her many opportunities to play her violin as a concert to you Lord. For the glory all goes to you. To you is all the glory. Glory! I ask this in the name and authority of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
Let your violin sing praises to God – sing a new song to him!

I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee. (Psalm 144:9)

I ask this all in the name and authority of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
