Good morning sweet sisters! I am praying over each of your needs every day! I want to mention a few specific people since I know how much it means to me to see my name mentioned.
NANCY S— praying for your strength. I certainly feel your pain,
KATIE L—praying a hedge of protection over your son (and your mom) as they have these visits with the ex MIL,
RHONDA J—praying for Brayden and his little sister and that whole family. May God change hearts and intervene in everything about this situation. Also praying for your healing from the chronic pain.
MICHELLE PATIRE—praying for wisdom and discernment for you as you seek God’s will about moving.
SEARCHING, MERCY, GRAMIESUE, SHARON JERSEY GIRL, FOSTER MAMA, VICTORIA E, AIMEE ROGERS and many others—I am praying for your needs and requests. Would love to see updates on your requests,
I’m praying for all your loved ones who do not know the Lord.
Please continue to pray for Jack and I. It’s really hard these days.
Love you all (or y’all as we say in Alabama )!
@MICHELLE: I will pray for that girl that God’s hand be a guard and a guide. To correct what I was saying, which I was wrong and I felt corrected by His Holy Spirit, and I need to come back to clarify lol. I must. My apologies. The Lord indeed allows certain trials, deception and pain/abuse to happen to His Bride, which was meant to crush us, but He turns it around for our training and growing purposes. What is meant to kill us, ends up being a scar only. But He allows. That’s why pain and deception exists in churches for the toughening and perfecting of His people. BUT also… in Ezekiel 34, God says He will judge His flocks and the Shepherds that abuse others. I usually pray Ezekiel 34 over the churches and those suffer injustice in churches. May the damage be controlled so no more grief is sowed. Bless you Michelle! Enjoy your weekend.❤️
Thank you so much @Mercy. I am sorry to know you’ve gone through this as well. It is a very painful experience. Thank you for the reminder about unforgiveness. That’s a real one. I think I am more angry at myself for being deceived, because I should have known better. But hopefully, like you, the Lord will also use this to build my discernment. I let this person too close as well, when she really needed discipleship. I don’t think she realized the damage she did, she honestly meant well. She just needs some help. So I do think I can forgive her knowing her heart wasn’t to harm. Thank you for praying those Scriptures over me and encouraging me!!
God bless all you ladies. Enjoy your Sunday :)
Happy Saturday dear she’s.
It’s lovely and warm today with birds singing. It is such music to my ears. Praise the Lord for the day He has made that we may rejoice and worship Him.
@CHERYL BLOW: amen to what you said. Without Him, where would I be?
@MICHELLE P: I am so sorry to hear what has happened. That has happened to me as well because I over trusted. BUT GOD has given me that lesson to increase discernment. Not everyone who claims they are Christian/pastors/prophets are true. I pray that God will bring healing to your heart over any damage or frustration this person might have given you. And especially may He help you with forgiveness over any bitterness that can cause a wound. Satan usually brings evil/counterfeit people to cause us hurt so the snake and its venom can enter through UNFORGIVENESS. It’s a sneaky door. I am praying this verse over you, “May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed (Psalm 20:4)”. He sees your heart’s unspoken desires, and even if you never ask Him to fulfil them, may He bless you anyways because of your faithfulness. And to any counterfeits who come to you and pretend to be your “friend”, but indeed trying to distract or delay you from God’s will, may the Lord judge them & avenge speedily according to His righteousness, may the Lord scatter them immediately, praying Psalm 35 over you. The Lord will not allow anyone to come and abuse His Bride.
@SEARCHING: praying for your friend’s mom’s heart issue and a safe pacemaker procedure. May total healing & restoration come in Jesus’ Name. Also for the salesman Matt to be drawn to the Lord and be saved. You have such a golden intercessor heart for people –which is so precious in God’s sight.
@ERB: thank you for the ewe lamb story you shared yesterday (which I am catching up). That really resonates with me.
@FOSTER MAMA: praying for your babies that are & will be under your care. Quality and meaningful time for lasting family connections.
@SARAH D: praying for your last week to go well, and secure steps ahead.
@MARIA BAER: praise God for the victory.
@RHONDA: thinking of you and Brayden and his family. Prayers sent on your behalf!
Be blessed dear sisters.
