Beware of focusing on the “stuff”, the “possessions”
Heavenly Father, good morning. Thank you for my mind and for the understanding that you bring to it. Thank you for bringing meaning to the words I read as I read your Word. And thank you for the scripture for today’s prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. (Luke 12:15)
Lord, it’s me … I am here to sit with you again as I do every day. I’m here to pray for your daughter you love. Yes, Lindsey, today I pray a prayer close to my heart as I have learned that everything I own, everything I have, everything around me is all just stuff, and I try to hold on to it all very loosely, since it is all God’s anyway. And so I pray this for you too Lindsey, since you travel so many places and see so much “stuff”. I pray that you won’t begin to “want” everything you see. I pray that stuff you already have can sometimes be handed off to someone else. I pray that some of this “stuff” can be passed on to others around you, others you meet, others you might not even know yet. I pray that you would not become consumed with the “stuff” of this world, but that you would cling to God, that you would hold fast to Jesus. I pray that you would take care in your life. I pray that you would watch out and be on guard for any touch of greed that might try to slip into your way of thinking or your way of living. And I pray that the Lord would help you with this, that he would continue to be your comfort and your guide. And all the glory goes to God. The glory is all his. I pray this all in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
See who you can serve today!
Good morning Heavenly Father. Thank you for sleep. Thank you how sleeping can refresh not only our minds but also our bodies. And thank you for the scripture for today’s prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. (Mark 9:35)
Lord, it’s me. I’m here as usual to lift up Lindsey to you. Yes, I lift you up Lindsey. As you tour the world, there are many travelling with you to serve you by setting up, tearing down, and all the many things that need to be done before, during and after each performance. And so today’s scripture is important. It reminds me of how to pray for you now. I pray that during your tours that you would always find ways to serve those who are there for you. I ask the Lord to show you opportunities to serve them. I ask that God would renew your strength and your mind so you can be able to be a good servant to those around you, just like you likely are already. And all the glory goes to God. The glory is all his. I pray this in the name and authority of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
Be a Secret Santa all year long!
Heavenly Father, good morning! Thank you for my many meals, the food you provide for me. Thank you for being my provider today as well as every day in the past. Thank you for assuring me that you will be my provider in the days to come as well. And thank you for the scripture to use for today’s prayer for your daughter Lindsey with something that Jesus said:
[Jesus said:] Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. (Matthew 6:1-4)
Lord, here I am again. I am here on behalf of your daughter Lindsey again as usual. My prayer for you today Lindsey is interesting because you have placed yourself in the public eye and in this way quite a bit of what you do is seen by others. So I pray that today you would find ways to be charitable to others without anyone knowing it was you. I pray that opportunities will appear for you to be a secret Santa for others today. And God, who sees all you do will reward you (rather than be rewarded by man). And all the glory goes to God. Glory! I pray this in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
Welcome the children in the name of Jesus
Good Morning Heavenly Father. Thank you for my family. And thank you for the scripture for today’s prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
[Jesus said:] And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. (Matthew 18:5)
Lord, I’m here again ready to begin another daily prayer for your daughter you love. Lindsey, today I pray that you will have many opportunities to welcome children, to receive children and to do it in the name of Jesus for then you in turn will receive Jesus as he welcomes you! Lord, open the doors for Lindsey to do this today and in the coming week. And all the glory goes to you Lord. The glory is all yours. I pray this in the name and authority of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
Humble yourself Lindsey – that is the key to greatness!
Heavenly Father, good morning. Thank you for the house that I am so happy to have. Thank you for my home. Thank you for being my provider Lord. And thank you for the scripture to use for my prayer this day for Lindsey:
[Jesus said:] Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 18:4)
Lord, it’s me. I’m here to pray for your daughter again. Lindsey, today I pray that you would always remember the key to greatness according to Jesus. I pray that the Lord would give you ways to remember this. I pray that those around you would also help you to remember this truth. Stay humble. Stay yourself. Stay your humble self! And all the glory goes to God. The glory is all his. I pray this in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen

Be just like a little child if you want to enter the kingdom of heaven
Heavenly Father, good morning! Thank you for another wonderful day. Thank you for the wonderful weather. Thank you for letting me sense your presence all around me. And thank you for the scripture to use for today’s prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 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 18:2-3)
Lord, I’m here as usual on behalf of your daughter you love, to pray for something that she seems to have already! Lindsey, it seems like you have embraced today’s scripture wholeheartedly. You have such a childlike joy just bursting out from within you. And today I thank the Lord that you indeed are ready to enter into the kingdom of heaven. And I pray that you would continue holding fast unto this quality. I ask that the Lord would remind you now and then that becoming like a little child is a GOOD THING! Never be ashamed of it. And all the glory goes to God. The glory is all his. I pray this in the name and authority of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen

Jesus has prepared a mansion for you
Good Morning Heavenly Father. Thank you for Lindsey’s joy, honesty and good example. And thank you for the scripture to use as I am beginning prayers based on things that Jesus said:
[Jesus said:] Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:1-3)
Lord, I’m here to lift up Lindsey to you. I am here on behalf of your daughter you love. Lindsey, keep on believing in God. Keep on believing in Jesus, for in his Father’s house there are many mansions and he is preparing a place for you! Yes, he is setting up a place in a mansion just for you. And he will come again to take you there. I pray that he would let you know personally that this is indeed true. So, we now give all the glory to God. Glory! I pray this in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
Make Melodies in your Heart to the Lord
Good Morning Heavenly Father. Thank you for the night sky. Thank you for the moon as it cycles night by night for 28 nights. And thank you for the many points of light in the dark sky. Thank you for being an extravagant God who didn’t create just a few hundred stars for us to see at night … but billions of stars! Thank you for letting this be just one example we can follow as we also try to be extravagant towards others. And thank you for the scripture for today’s prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; (Ephesians 5:18-20)
Lord, I’m here again as usual to begin another day’s prayer for your daughter who loves you. I pray that you would fill Lindsey with your Spirit as your scripture promises and that she also would find new melodies in her heart. Melodies that she can turn into beautiful uplifting songs. And Lindsey, remember to always give thanks for everything to God and the Father in the name of Christ Jesus. And we will give the glory to you Lord. The glory is all yours. I pray this in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
Sing from Your Heart as the Word of Christ Dwells in You Richly!
Exhort: strongly encourage or urge (someone) to do something.
Admonish: advise or urge (someone) earnestly. warn (someone) of something to be avoided.
Heavenly Father, good morning! Thank you for always being with me. Thank you for coming near to me anytime I draw near to you. Thank you for clearly lighting the path for me for the task you have set before me. And thank you for the scripture to use for today’s prayer for your daughter Lindsey:
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. (Colossians 3:16)
Lord, I’m here again. I came to sit with you and thank you again for showing me the way to go for the task at hand. But I also am here on behalf of your daughter you love and today I have another big request. Lord, I ask that you continue to put godly advisers around her. Surround her with people who will not just encourage her, but also urge her along the right path, warning her of things she must avoid. Place people around her that can teach her with hymns and songs. Help her to sing and play with grace in her heart. And we will give the glory to you. All the glory is yours Lord. I pray this all in the name of Christ Jesus, King of kings. Amen (more…)
You are being gathered together with other sons and daughters of God
Heavenly Father, good morning! I welcome a new day. I welcome a new day with you. Thank you for letting me begin again today, to begin anew, to begin anew with you! And thank you for the scripture confirming again that your daughter Lindsey is indeed a child of God being gathered into one!
And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad. Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death. Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples. (John 11:49-54)
Lord, I am here with joy today because I am beginning another 40 days of prayer for your daughter you love. These next 40 days I will be using scriptures about music, singing and dancing as a basis of my prayers. But for the first prayer I will use the Gospel of John to confirm that you are gathering the children of God together. Lindsey, you are a daughter of God. You are being gathered together with other sons and daughters. Jesus died for you Lindsey. And John has said that Jesus died so that you could be gathered together as one as a child of God. And that is glorious. Yes, glorious. And we 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…)
