Praying for families of prisoners, today.

 

On Tuesdays we pray for Jason Kent and all families who have a loved one incarcerated. There are many broken-hearted parents who are missing the normal joys of life with their family because of incarceration. Please send protection, help, wisdom and healing for these families and their loved ones in Jesus name. I know that there are brokenhearted grandparents and brothers and sisters also and of course the children of prisoners endure much each day.

Remember the words of the Lord to you.

This scripture is from another version of the Bible that I use. Psalm 118 The Message (MSG) 1-4 Thank GOD because he’s good, because his love never quits. Tell the world, Israel, “His love never quits.” And you, clan of (Donna)/Aaron, tell the world, “His love never quits.” And you who fear GOD, join in, “His love never quits.” 5-16 Pushed to the wall, I called to GOD; from the wide open spaces, he answered. GOD’s now at my side and I’m not afraid; who would dare lay a hand on me?

Here's some more verses, if you have the time:

Isaiah 54:13New Century Version (NCV)

 

All your children will be taught by the LORD,

and they will have much peace.

“Afflicted city, storm-battered, unpitied:

I’m about to rebuild you with stones of turquoise,

Lay your foundations with sapphires,

construct your towers with rubies,

Your gates with jewels,

and all your walls with precious stones.

All your children will have GOD for their teacher—

what a mentor for your children!

You’ll be built solid, grounded in righteousness,

far from any trouble—nothing to fear!

far from terror—it won’t even come close!

If anyone attacks you,

don’t for a moment suppose that I sent them,

And if any should attack,

nothing will come of it.

I create the blacksmith

who fires up his forge

and makes a weapon designed to kill.

I also create the destroyer—

but no weapon that can hurt you has ever been forged.

Any accuser who takes you to court

will be dismissed as a liar.

This is what GOD’s servants can expect.

I’ll see to it that everything works out for the best.”

GOD’s Decree.

Isaiah 54:13-17The Message (MSG)

Prayers for those in a recovery walk

 

Thursday, a great day for Recovery in the State of Florida and around our nation. Go to a meeting, attend a small group, reach out to someone in prayer, be a light in this world. If you don’t feel like you can do much on your own, join with someone else in their ministry. The Bible says that one can chase a thousand and two can put ten thousand to flight (Deuteronomy 32:30).

Surround all who read this today with Your peace, love and Hope. We are praying strong prayers, though admitting we are flawed humans that don't really know what to ask for, except we join in Thy will be done, Thy kingdom come. We see the picture from below, the flawed strings; the messed-up threads, but You see the beautiful tapestry from heaven that is the complete, full and beautiful work of art. We yield to You dear Lord and still we pray. Help, us Lord this day and please be with that one who is hurting the most; you know who it is. I’m adding a prayer for a newly bereaved mom, today. Lord, please comfort as only you can do.

I I am standing in absolute stillness, silent before the one I love,

waiting as long as it takes for him to rescue me.

Only God is my Savior, and he will not fail me.

For he alone is my safe place.

His wraparound presence always protects me

as my champion defender.

There’s no risk of failure with God!

So why would I let worry paralyze me,

even when troubles multiply around me?

God’s glory is all around me!

His wraparound presence is all I need,

for the Lord is my Savior, my hero, and my life-giving strength.

Trust only in God every moment!

Tell him all your troubles and pour out your heart-longings to him.

Believe me when I tell you—he will help you! Psalms 62:5-8 The Passion Translation

Pause in his presence
