IN JESUS' NAME: Ezekiel 36:25-28

Father God praying for someone to have a heart transplant is so NOT a generic prayer to you! I say that because I am asking the God of all creation to take out #their stony heart and to give #them a heart of flesh and to put your spirit in #them. Then I’m asking that you would give #them ears to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying. I’m asking that you would give #them eyes to see what Jesus sees, as we walk this earth! We can see with the natural eye or we can say, “Lord help me to see what you see” and then have His compassion and act accordingly… In Jesus' name this is my prayer for your church and for the lost. When I pray their/them, only You know! Amen!

You said when the righteous cry out you would heart them and you also said that the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.  You know my prayer lists for the lost and you know my heart for the global church.  Please hear me and answer me.

Love, Princess Bride

"I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you for all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God."

Another Note of Thanks

Father I’m sitting here by the balcony door being reminded of how you know me. You know that I am introverted. You moved me to a spot where I would not be alone or lonely. In the physical sense. I know that Jesus is with me wherever I go and I know that I am filled with the Holy Spirit. I am sitting here and I see the beautiful waves and I hear them also. When I glance at this view, I see an array of beautiful clouds. I see sailboats and I see birds flying high. Sometimes I even see the belly of the bird. Sometimes I see the blue Herron.

I see people walking up and down the boardwalk. I see people fishing on the pier. Right now there are three children running up and down the pier. Sometimes I see dog walkers. Sometimes I see people from church. When I pull back from the balcony, I can sit in a certain chair and just see people walking up and down the boardwalk. I see people fishing on the pier. Right now there are three children running up and down the pier. Sometimes I see dog walkers. Sometimes I see people from church. When I pull back, I can sit in a certain chair and just see waves and nothing or no one else. You have put me in a place where I can engage or disengage.

I said the other night and it is no secret to you. It sounds very selfish, but I love this time of the year. Little to no noise. No farmers market, no food trucks, no band or festivals. No loud talking, no curse words, no alcoholics and no arguments. This time of the year, things begin to wind down. No beach goers and no rebels. Just waves! A symphony of waves. I remember when I first moved here, as I was walking towards the back of the bedroom each and every night I would feel kind of sad because I could not hear the waves. Then I remembered a book that I read when I was living in Waldorf. And she shared that she was single and divorced and she'd always wanted a fireplace in her bedroom but cannot afford one. So she put her bed in the living room by the fireplace. And that’s what I did after I got my new bed. I put my bed in the living room so that I could hear the waves as I fell asleep. That was a season of life for me. And now, the bed is back in the bedroom and I have the wave app. Lol

Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you again.

Eternally yours and eternally grateful...

If God were to ask you, "What did you do with the quarantine?" 

I love that HE was guiding me every step of the way.  I had moments of anxiety and discouragement, but as a child of GOD, the Holy Spirit is the voice of truth and God kept reminding me of His truth!  Nothing catches Him off guard and everything is under His Sovereign control. Breathe in...breathe out...#S-E-L-A-H...

Father God I pray for every loss, every soul that left this earth and everyone who was grief-stricken and is grieving, and those who will grieve.  I especially pray for the souls who perished without a Savior.  I pray in Jesus' name, that in the land of the living...those who are still here and the loved ones and friendships that did not pass from this Virus, I pray that they would look to YOU and seek the gift You offer through You Son's sacrifice.  I pray that they would repent, call on the Lord Jesus and be saved and come into the family of God and be assured eternal life in Your Kingdom when they die.  I pray for every person that I was able to witness to during this pandemic.  I even still, pray for all those men and women that I've witnessed to during my Akron prayer walks and the people whom YOU have placed in my path to tell them about the #goodnews, heaven and hell, sin and forgiveness.  In the Precious name of Your Son, AMEN!

Lord God even if we get "nothing" else, YOU gave us Jesus.
