I've known Christ for almost 12 years. Since receiving Salvation, my life has been one incredible blessing after another (John 1:16). I journal regularly and still, my thoughts and pen can not keep up with Him. Blogging is so natural for me. It also affords me the chance to click on this blog when I need to remember HIS faithfulness. I want those who doubt to know that God is good and His goodness is for all. I'm not His favorite, though I like to tease my friends and family by saying that I am. I oftentimes sign my letters and cards, ("Neicy! The one whom Jesus loves.) I may not be His favorite, but I am His Princess Bride and have been documenting my journey on that (blog) as well. I hope you delight in something I've shared and see that HE rewards those who seek Him with their whole hearts. (Read Hebrews 11:6).

Various Petitions

Father You know that I have not been updating this blog as much as I used to and with Siri's help, I've been using the notes on my phone to document this journey.  Thanks to "her" typing skills, I have my prayer section, my Barnabas section, gratitude section, LOL section, my ministry section, and the list goes on...

So for this post, I just wanted to cut and paste some prayer request from me and others as we LOOK TO YOU, THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN! May one, just one person read and be encouraged and pray in agreement. May someone happen upon this blog and wonder; "Who is this God she's praying to?" Abba, You are still in pursuit of lost souls and this world is out of control....pride, greed, deceit, sexual immorality, rebellion, addictions, idolatry, false conversions...sin, sin and more sin...and so much more..... 

PRAISE BE TO GOD WHO GAVE US JESUS and a way of escape.  We do not at all talk about the JUDGEMENT of God which is to come, and without Christ, it is inescapable....no money, power, status, beauty, bribe, or possessions is going to save the soul who rejects Jesus as Lord!

Wrote this one today petition today as a reminder: 

Beloved, when you forget...I AM! When life seems overwhelming, when your prayers seem long suffering, when the noise in this world is on its highest volume, when the news gets worse by the day, come what may ... I AM the One who will strengthen you, who will guide you, who will remind you, who will walk with you and talk with you. I AM the One who holds the answers. I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life/Light! I AM The One who gives endurance, the one who strengthens you when you are weak, the One who collects your tears, your biggest ENCOURAGER, the One who loved you first. The One who sent His only begotten Son to Calvary’s Cross so that you could have life and have it abundantly… The One who forgave every #sin, past present and future. I AM the One who will reward your obedience. The One who remains Faithful, even when you don’t! I AM the One who heals, hears, restores and cares! I AM the Only One who makes #all things new! I AM the One who sought you and bought You! I AM He who called you out of darkness! I AM the One who will take your ordinary life and bless it beyond measure! If you follow ME, hold to My truths and walk by faith, I AM the One who will return for you and bring you to the eternal home that I have promised to all who #believe! I AM HE!

The ones below are in no particular order:

Abba the number of infections have increased drastically… Many new and harsh restrictions have been implemented. Many are afraid, and so many more are still being rebellious. And sadly, even many are in denial. We pray, those who believe, I pray that they are praying for people to respect their local guidelines. Not to be afraid, but to be cautious and concerned. To be respectful of their neighbors and their community, and especially those with pre-existing conditions. To be mindful that this season of life is serious and deadly. And not to be self focused or believing the false narrative that it’s just the flu. Lord God only you know the truth. And only you know how much more we must endure. We’re here, are being guided by the news reports and the scientist and the increasing number of deaths and infections globally. But You are still Sovereign and You waste #nothing! Many in the body of Christ are so discouraged as the elderly are homebound, and many ministries and gospel reaching has either slowed down or stopped. Father God PLEASE remind your church that the Holy Spirit is not bound. The Holy Spirit does not have the coronavirus and the Holy Spirit is not in quarantine. Speak to each child of yours today I pray. All who call Jesus Lord, give them a specific message. A message of encouragement and hope and a message of endurance. Remind them to stay connected to the Vine and to meditate on your Word. To not close it and forget what they have read. Remind them that you are the great I AM and that you are with them. Remind them that you have given them a spiritual gift, and it is for your glory. We pray for healing, we pray for comfort, we pray for those who have lost a loved one, we pray for salvation, we pray for your name to be magnified! We pray for those who know you and love you and trust you to continue praising you. We walk by faith and not by sight. Remind your children, to praise you. Please lift the discouragement. We are saved. We are heaven bound. Have us to look around and see not people infected by the virus, but souls of the walking dead. People are living their lives without a Savior and whether or not they get the virus or cancer or some other disease… If they die in a car accident, or die suddenly, a random act of violence, or die in their sleep… Without Jesus, they are going into the lake of fire after the day of judgment, and standing before you without having received Jesus. Help us to see the lost souls perishing and to open our mouths about the HOPE we have! Help me, and help us. AND lastly but not least… Certainly not least… We pray for every medical worker, every doctor and nurse and even the maintenance workers. We pray for those who are unable to stay home, those who provide the needs for us that we often take for granted. Those public servants that put their own health at risk to provide our society. We pray for all the first responders and Frontline workers. Both in the mission field and in the secular field. And specifically I pray that if there are Christian physicians in place nearing the death of a patient, that person would not be ashamed of the gospel, but would share the precious gift of salvation before the patient dies. Give them the boldness and the words. And may the recipient say “yes” to Jesus and enter into your kingdom like the thief on the cross. All of these souls, all of this loss in 2020 matters to you. Help us to see you are working in ways we cannot see until the end. The glorified and glorious end! In Jesus’ precious and beloved name I pray, amen.

Father God I pray as the year is coming to an end, that the believers, the true believers are wanting to do church and be the church differently in 2021. That we would just not be regular attendees, sitting in our normal seats, doing our normal way of worship. That we would enter into your sanctuary with praise and Thanksgiving and in the presence of our holy God. Help us God to not just go to church and just do church and all those ministries but to be the church. Show us a new way, something that we have overlooked or taken for granted. Something that we have not known, as your word says in Jeremiah 33:3…

I am calling on you and I pray that the global church is calling on you too! Do that which you have created in us to do and be, showing Christ to the world as we prepare to move forward. Prepare us I pray!!! PLEASE FATHER GOD at all cost for Your glory and your kingdom! In Jesus’ name, amen!

 

““This is what the Lord says—the Lord who made the earth, who formed and established it, whose name is the Lord: Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come.” Jeremiah 33:2-3 NLT

INVITATION TO THE LORD’S SALVATION πŸ™πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½♥πŸ™πŸ½♥️

““Is anyone thirsty? Come and drink— even if you have no money! Come, take your choice of wine or milk— it’s all free! Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength? Why pay for food that does you no good? Listen to me, and you will eat what is good. You will enjoy the finest food. “Come to me with your ears wide open. Listen, and you will find life. I will make an everlasting covenant with you. I will give you all the unfailing love I promised to David. See how I used him to display my power among the peoples. I made him a leader among the nations. You also will command nations you do not know, and peoples unknown to you will come running to obey, because I, the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, have made you glorious.” Seek the Lord while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near. Let the wicked change their ways and banish the very thought of doing wrong. Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously. “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts. “The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry. It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it. You will live in joy and peace. The mountains and hills will burst into song, and the trees of the field will clap their hands! Where once there were thorns, cypress trees will grow. Where nettles grew, myrtles will sprout up. These events will bring great honor to the Lord’s name; they will be an everlasting sign of his power and love.”” Isaiah 55:1-13 NLT

“Seek the Lord while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near. Let the wicked change their ways and banish the very thought of doing wrong. Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously.”

Isaiah 55:6-7 NLT

*Father God first of all I just want to thank You for being God for being Holy, for being Patient and for being Faithful. THANK YOU for Jesus and the #promised Comforter and Holy Spirit, the Wise Counselor for Your people and the Steadfast Restrainer. We are always always asking You for #something. I pray that You would do that which is pleasing in You sight, that You would enlighten the eyes of our hearts to see it and that the Spirit will give us ears to hear what Jesus is speaking to the churches. In His Matchless and Precious name I pray, amen.

*Discernment in Boldness

Father God in the midst of wide spread corruption and deceit, let truth continue to bring light to the darkness. Wake up your church to the lies and the evil plots of the evil ones who form evilness and pretend to call it decency. In Jesus name amen

*Lord God...we love you! You are the perfect, amazing Creator of all things! You are above all, You know all, and You have everything in control! Lord...so many of us are praying prayers similar to the one of Neicy’s friend prayed! Lord forgive our nation...please give us the strength to turn from our sinful ways, to look only to you, and to seek to serve in ways that will bring glory only to you! Help us Lord...to pray in accordance with Your will...please make Your will our will and let us stand strong in Your Word and Your values.

*We marvel at your Holy Spirit, God, who knows all things, reveals what’s concealed, and leads us into all truth. Without you we know nothing. Without you we walk in darkness. Without you truth is not defined! Without you we believe the lies. Without you we cannot walk out our destiny. Without you we will not be saved. Holy Spirit, take up all the space to overflow. Infiltrated this earth through your people God! Let today be a day of SALVATION! Let today be the day EYES OPEN! Let today be the day WE KNOW YOU! Let today be the day of VICTORY, prodigals returning, addictions cease, pride falls, lies are exposed, true identity is revealed, everything is severed that should be and connected as you see to it.

*With God nothing shall be impossible. The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much. We pray even now for the United States of America that God would by His Spirit blanket all the states. We pray for peace . We pray for free access to the areas where votes are cast. We decree and declare: no intimidation, no violence. Father let your angels cut off every agenda of the evil one to bring discord. We petition the God of heaven to let your will be done. We pray Father you would put in power those persons that will facilitate your will for the nation and your agenda. Not those that we want but those that you want. You who know the hearts of all men, we pray that you would cause those to be selected who would have a heart for the people and would be pliable in your hands. You who have the destiny of nations in your hands: let the destiny of the USA be fulfilled in this season. Arise O God in USA and let your enemies be scattered. Amen.

*Lord, hear our praises of your wondrous name as we lift you up on high. You are the God who saves and the God who runs in our direction, amen! Thank you for the rain and for the stillness it brings so we can hear your voice more clearly. Thank you, thank you, thank you for saving me. I pray for those that are suffering today with anxiety, fear, and sickness. You tell us to Be Still and know that I am God. Help us all to do that and not let Satan’s noise distract us. I love you Lord because you first loved me. Help me be your hands and feet. Amen! ❤️

*Dear Heavenly Father, forgive me for my impatience. Help me to wholly lean on you and your timing. Make me your servant, humbled and clean. To God be the glory. πŸ™ πŸ™ πŸ™ This was my prayer on my walk this morning. Ready to do His will as He leads me. Lord, give me your assignment for today. And Father, guide my thoughts, without You, I am alone in a meaningless story. My only hope is to follow Jesus. Amen πŸ™ πŸ™ πŸ™

*Father without you, we are nonexistent, merely walking dead! We praise you for breathing life and love into our beings. We (get) to be your instruments and we pray you continually mold us and make us into the likeness of your beloved Son! In His name, help us and strengthen us. Life has many challenges and in this broken world, there are many more to come as we head toward heaven. BUT, until then, YOU ARE OUR COMPASS AND COMFORT! We love you deeply and eternally. Amen!

*I pray for unity in families during this political season. Many of my friends and peers are struggling in their relationships with parents because of different political beliefs. It’s especially sad to see this in Christian families. Would love to see the body of Christ love one another better in the face of disagreements!

*Pray for healing of this country for the entire nation! restoration, for People to un-harden their hearts against people who don’t look like them, Pray for societies biases. Pray that Gods will be done concerning this world! And the people in it! Last but not least, that our Father in heaven, continue to turn over every rock, and expose the evil hearts and deeds of men, In The matchless Name of Jesus! To whom every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that he is the Lord and Savior of us all, Jesus the Christ!

*Heavenly Father, I come to you today, praying for healing for our country and the nation. I ask that you open our eyes to see you. I pray that you open our ears to hear you. I pray that we the people will seek your face and be obedient to your Word. Through wisdom is a house built; by understanding it is established. (Proverbs 24:3)In Jesus name Amen!

*Amen and Amen! Lord we pray for an awakening in the hearts of Your people, save countless souls as the gospel message goes forth and the advancement of Your Kingdom agenda.

*I pray that in this nation, that we will humble ourselves before God. For repentance, and that millions across this nation and the globe would come to accept Jesus Christ as Lord, to the glory of God

*Please Lord soften the heart of our President and his staff, help him to work past himself and help others and our Country. Please help President Elect Biden and VP Harris keep strong in your word and have patience and your strength Lord to continue to push through to set up the best possible help for all people of out Country. Please be with all of the American people, and help remind us that you have made us all different and that brings us in conflict to work through life lessons together and that it’s ok to have to work together because that is the point that you put before us... the question is how will we respond, in anger, pride etc.... or in LOVE! Amen and God Bless all, Thank you Lord for each day!πŸ™πŸ’—πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

*Father I pray in agreement with my sister. I pray that you would open the eyes and the hearts of those who are still dwelling in darkness. I pray that you will awaken the church, those who are still asleep and those who are complacent, that we would be the glorious light that you created us to be. That we would not look like Denise and Karen and so and so, and so and so, but we would be your image bearers, and we would resemble the likeness of your Son. Until the church becomes unified as a full body of Christ, a global church, hating sin and pursuing righteousness, there’s going to be turmoil and chaos… But, your church can make a ginormous difference for such a time as this!πŸ™πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½

*My constant prayer is for truth, justice, and righteousness to prevail in our nation. For Him to root out and remove all the evil and place godly men He continues to transform in places of power. And that He will be glorified in the process. ❤️

*Father God with our leaders, starting with the president on down to the elders in the church… I pray that you would soften any hard hearts. I pray that you would humble any prideful hearts. And I pray that you would expose any deceived hearts. Holy spirit please I pray to do this expeditiously, according to God‘s glorious Pre-Destined and perfect will. Father I thank you that you love us so much that you want hearts transformed. “If we do not repent, we will be blinded and become insensitive to God’s truth, serving Satan’s purposes.” Thank you for warning us. In Jesus precious name, amen.

*Regarding America; The Israelites did the same. Nothing is new under the sun to God. We are sad-

BUT God has given us an example-we can pray and repent like Abraham did for the city of Sodom. He pleaded for any righteous among them. We can pray not so much to spare the righteous but to activate and ignite a true repentance from a sincere love and loyalty that should be to God. We can do that.
