Hello family!
Here's a new prayer to start our week. In this podcast, I briefly share why there wasn't an upload last week. Let us pray!
There is always hope, if you're willing to accept the changes that life brings to a marriage and a family. Let us pray!
Negative, hurtful, untrue self talk is NOT PERMITTED in this season (or ever) of our lives! Let us pray.
It's the last podcast of 2021 and I can't thank you enough for coming along with me on this ride! As we prepare to enter into a New Year, I want to encourage you to dig your heels in DEEP and go be great! #letuspray
Don't you dare give up now! Look at how much you've overcome. You have all you need and when you need more, God knows how to get it to you! Let us pray and BELIEVE!
God is ALWAYS nudging our hearts to do what's best for us. If we're not careful, we will ignore Him thinking we know what's best for us based on what we FEEL.If faith can come by hearing, so can failure! #letuspray
As we head into a new job, a new marriage, a new baby, a new year let us invite God to lead the way.
Sometimes, the very thing you fear arrives in your life and you discover its the exact thing you needed to renew your faith!
NEW month, NEW Season!
Let us not merely labor for "things" that are seen. Let us pray!
"We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Ephesians6:12
If comparison is the the thief of joy, then covetesness is the the thief of contentment. Let us pray!
U (we) have EVERYTHING we need for our god-given assignment(s). It's time to trust that.
Let us pray.
The changing of the calendar doesn’t keep you from the trials of what this year and beyond will bring, only faith is God does. #letuspray
Don’t grow weary! Don’t get distracted. The enemy wants you to remain disinterested and busy so he can keep you away from knowing just how much God loves and cares for you. Resist him!
"Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles; Lest the Lord see it, and it displease Him, and He turn away His wrath from him." Prov24:17-18
Whatever you have to offer in prayer, bring it. God is here and He can handle it. #justiceforbreonnataylor
Half the battle in ANYTHING is just showing up! Join me in prayer as we ask God to give us the courage to not only keep showing up, but to show up CHANGED.
Anyone can start. But only one wins the prize! Consistency is key to GREAT lasting change. Join me in prayer as we ask God to intervene and assist you (us) in staying consistent.
There are times when the Lord will prompt your heart to "wage war" in the spirit realm with prayer. When this happens, I usually call on prayer warriors and occasionally will pull out "the red prayer book". If you know, you KNOW.
Let us pray.
When "things" go wrong, don't go with them! This is the time to "sow" into your purpose. Dig deep. Get laser focused and prepare now for what this "holy hush" harvest will bring! Don't give up now, the best is yet to come.
Sometimes you just feel like you need to go to God and talk to Him about a little bit of everything. That is this prayer! #letsgo #letuspray #sheprays
"I'm tired of remembering it that way. Aren't you tired too, Mrs. Travers? Now we all have our sad tales, but don't you want to finish the story? Let it all go and have a life that isn't dictated by the past? Life is a harsh sentence to lay down for yourself."- Walt Disney in Saving Mr Banks
Apologies family!
My phone rang while I was recording and it cut the previous 'Make It Right' prayer off. This is the conclusion. Thank you for your patience and your support! #blacklivesmatter #supportblackpodcasters #amplifyblackvoices
This is part one of two!
My phone rang while I was recording. Apologies! Please be sure to listen to both and share. I love you and I am praying for you during this tough time in our history.
Take the next eight minutes and forty-six seconds to renew your mind in prayer. #blacklivesmatter
Joy, resilience and hope are ALL forms of protest! Let's do what we can do and grace others. Join me in prayer. #firstwepray #thenweact #letuspray
It's incredibly hard to pray during times like this. 100,000 deaths due to COVID-19 and yet another Black person killed. Whenever I feel like this, I go and sit with the Father. I am sharing because I hope you too, will sit with Him. It only takes 1 person for God to use. Maybe it's you! #letuspray #sheprays #realtalk
"For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints." 1Cor14:33
God>COVID-19
"It's difficult to make a change because the bad choices are much easier to access than the good ones. You've created a habit of bad habits."-Rachel Hollis 'Girl, Stop Apologizing'
Todays prayer was inspired by this book that I am reading. Bring your faith and let's pray!
God is greater than COVID-19!
If you have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus and KNOW He never fails, use this moment to be strengthened in your faith and heart. This is our moment to honor God in the midst of the "valley" and watch Him do miraculous things!
Just because you have a bad day, doesn't mean there is no hope. We are ALL feeling ALL the feels, and THAT'S OK. Join me in prayer as we maintain hope, together! #wewillgetthroughthis #sheprays #podcast
Let us not long for 'normal' if it was destructive, unhealthy and unholy. Don't be Lot's wife, be Christs beloved, redeemed, chosen and loved child.
"As they fled, the angels warned them, 'Escape for your life! Do not look behind you, and do not stay anywhere in the valley; escape to the mountains, or you will be swept away."- Genesis19:17
Lot ran, his daughter close behind. "But his wife, from behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt." Gen19:26
"Life is 10% what you make it and 90% how you take it."- Irving Berlin
"For the Lord God will help Me; Therefore I will not be disgraced; Therefore I have set My face like a flint (courageous endurance), And I know that I will not be ashamed."-Isaiah50:7
Fortitude is courageous endurance.
It is needed and can be obtained through the power of Jesus Christ!
Let us pray!
Many times it's not that the blessing isn't on its way. We just don't like waiting. But waiting is a ministry in and of itself. If you can wait, you can win!
"But those who WAIT on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with things like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint."- Isaiah40:31
Let us pray!
"Then he said to me, 'Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words." Dan10:12
Let us pray!
Grief is just as important as joy.
Grief is a sign that something is ending, and something new is on its way.
Grief, unlike other emotions, has movement to it.
Join me in prayer as I pray for those who have suffered loss.
When you are under attack (emotionally/physically/mentally) the enemy of your soul (Satan, yes he is real) tries to do 2 things: isolate and silence you! Grab your faith and meet me in prayer as we SPEAK the word of God in prayer and believe! Our God is able...
"Great is the art of the beginning, but greater is the art of the ending." - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
If "it's" all getting to be a bit much, this prayer is for you! Bring your faith and let's pray.
This time, this year, this decade...is going to be dedicated to the Lord! We are abandoning fear, accepting reality and COURAGEOUSLY trusting God! Every morning, day and night! Join me in prayer NOW!
You have to go through, to get to! Whatever God is doing in your life, it is to make you more like Him. If in fact you believe that, then you MUST stop running from the very things, He brings to your life.
Join me in prayer as we ask God for courage, bravery, endurance and GRACE!
We're praying small, giving small and living small and have adopted the worlds mindset of God, which is, God is SOLELY in the blessing business and NOT in the BREAKING business!
When challenges arise, we bounce and blame the devil or PEOPLE.
My Bible says it was God who hardened Pharaohs heart.
It was God who, AFTER saying He was please in His Son Jesus, led Him into the wilderness to be tempted for 40 days and 40 nights at the hand of Satan!
Join me in prayer as we engage in spiritual warfare from a posture of VICTORY!
Real Talk? My soul is very heavy. I had to push this prayer out because I NEEDED to get to Him. I believe it is just as important to go to God in prayer, when you don't know what to pray, but you KNOW you need to be in His presence!
That's what this episode is.
Let us pray.
This prayer is for the parent(s) who KNOWS they tried to do EVERYTHING in their power to be a good, responsible, loving parent and their child(ren) have broken their heart.
This prayer is for the parent who looks at other NEW parents celebrating the life of their bundles of joy and grieve the loss of their child who IS LIVING but is addicted to drugs, alcohol, homeless, abusive and/or a violent criminals.
Let's go before God with our pain and allow Him to comfort, strengthen and fill our hearts with hope.
There is STILL life to live!
There is ALWAYS a breaking BEFORE the blessing. And you will find out what's in you, when you are squeezed, for a long time, with "seemingly" no relief! #gotfaith
Let us pray!
"And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." 2Cor12:9
Let us pray!
For TOO LONG, I have been afraid to say that out loud! When you have experienced so much hurt and pain, you can start to believe that happiness just isn't your lot.
But that is a LIE from the pit of hell!!!
Happiness, joy, contentment, laughter and goodness is FROM God!
I've had to endure MANY fights, fears and loss to gain this "happy" but I am so glad I endured and kept praying, kept crying out, kept fasting , kept worshipping corporately with my brothers/sisters in Christ and meditating on God's word!
If you are in need of comfort, reassurance and hope, join me in prayer NOW!!!
To Everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven:
A time to be born,
And a time to die;
A time to plant,
And a time to pluck what is planted;
A time to kill,
and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep,
And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn,
And a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones,
And a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace,
And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain,
And a time to lose;
A time to keep,
And a time to throw away'
A time to tear,
Ad a time to sew;
A time to keep silence,
And a time to speak;
A time to love,
And a time to hate;
A time to war,
And a time of peace." Eccl3:1-8
1Tim2:1 "I urge you, first of all, to pray for ALL people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them."
Heb7:25 "Therefore He is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through Him. He lives FOREVER to intercede with God on their behalf."
If you haven't prayed for others, you really haven't prayed. Less talking, more believing, more praying, more loving. God is faithful and NEVER late!
Just when "things" seem to be falling apart, God reminds us that "it's" actually coming together! If Gideon didn't know His God, he would've thought He was setting him up for failure. To have your team of warriors reduced to a mere 300 and the enemy you are about to go into battle with is "thick as locusts and camels as numerous as the grains of sands..."Judges6, you would be scared to death!!! But our God says something VERY powerful as He continues to convince Gideon that He is "with him". He tells him that he will defeat his enemy, as if he were in a fight with only 1 person!!! WOW!!!
The fight is fixed. You have to face it. But you (we) are not alone.
Bring your faith and let's pray!
Many, many, MANY times in life we do not know what life will bring us. The minute you have "mastered" one area in your life, along comes something (or someone) else that dismantles every thing you prayed and hoped for! THIS prayer is for the person who admits that she may not know the out come of what is making "its" way to her door step, BUT she does KNOW that her God, her Heavenly Father is ABLE!!!
Bring your faith, and let's pray!
The hard work REALLY begins, when you start facing the "giants" in your mind. Images, thoughts, reoccurring lies, unhealthy habits ALL have to be addressed with grace, resilience and prayer. Let us pray!
God placed beauty and grace in the souls of His daughters. We are joint heirs of the grace of life. And our tears, our hurts, our brokenness is a thing of beauty in the eyes of our Savior! As we pray together in this podcast, be encouraged! You are not alone. God understands your pain AND He wants to comfort you.
Let us pray...
You don't have to say everything you think.
And you don't have to be afraid of what "in" you.
Be bold.
Be you.
Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Sometimes, you gotta get mad at the Devil for playing tricks with your mind and your faith and stop what you're doing and go to war! That's what this prayer is. Me going to war in prayer against the "things" that arise in my mind to distract me from the truth I KNOW!
Let us pray...
God has a perfect track record of loving us, providing for us, protecting us and BLESSING us! May we never forget who He is and why we have been "called" by the Great Shepherd! Let us pray!
This is my 1st sermon of 2019 at which I was also licensed to preach! I hope it blesses your heart and gives you the courage to FINALLY be content with all the MANY wonderful "things" and people God has given you! #letsgo
There is REAL liberty in letting go and trusting God with who you REALLY are. When we learn to do that, graciously and patiently, we become fearless, bold and able to make decisions that are based on faith and NOT fear.
For MANY years I have sown into others thinking that would make them "like me" or "appove of me" but what it really did was, allow them to use, abuse and disrespect me. My kindness was taken for weakness and the very people I trusted began to have contempt for me.
Today, I take full responsibility for ALLOWING that to occur.
If you are still passing blame and/or playing the victim, this prayer ISN'T for you. But if you are humbly owning up to being insecure and allowing people to mistreat you because you felt like you needed their "validation", then bring your faith and join me in prayer!
We are not mad, we are changed and delivered!
Pray when things are going good. Pray when things have taken a turn for the worse. Pray when old habits and old ways start to peek out from the bushes and pray when you have made progress! We are overcomers! We are the head and not the tail! We are above and not beneath! Spend time with me in prayer before God and let's SMASH this week with His love, courage and impact!
Gone are the days when believers "name and claim" and shout "I receive it" and leave the church or small group bible study and do NOTHING to verify their faith! I believe EVERYTHING is now! We don't have as much time as we think to DO what God has given us to do! Join me in prayer and let's APPLY action to your faith. For faith is the currency that MOVES Heaven! #letsgo
Many of us may not have been good test takers in school. Fortunately for us, God has given us the cheat sheet! At ANY moment, day or time, you can "lift your heart to Him" in prayer and make your request, your grievance, your shame or your petitions known. So let's do that. And just like taking a test in school, once you get into it, the answer(s) (peace, clarity, hope) will start to come! #sheprays #subscribe #share
We're 2 days into the new year and if you are human, doubts, excuses and bad habits are already starting to convince you to stay the same! Join me in prayer. Together we can. Even with tears in our eyes and discomfort in our bodies....WE CAN and WE WILL!!!
I've been spending more time with God in prayer and throughout my day he speaks to my heart. I went into my prayer closet to share what He spoke. Let us pray!
When you need to pray the most, you will feel least like doing it. I've been praying 40 minutes a day for 27 days (going for 40 days) and I am spiritually exhausted! I am having ALL the feels as I sit with God in prayer. He is revealing, uncovering, chastening and reviving my heart. I'm pushing these prayers out because this is REALITY. In 2019, you are going to have to DO what you have been taught in the word of God. The enemy is fine with you saying the occasional "thank you Jesus" and "receiving" every good word that is posted on social media, but he (Satan) is SCARED TO DEATH when you start making time for prayer and believing Gods plan for your life, and nothing is really changing or moving...yet.
Let us pray!
I pushed this prayer out! I know I've been MIA, but I've been under serious spiritual attacks. When the enemy sees he can't get to you, he will attack those you love. He showed up and I withstood him in prayer! I started a 40 day prayer journey (40 minutes of prayer for 40 consecutive days) and he showed up on day 1 wreaking havoc!!!
I'm on day 20. I'm exhausted physically but ENCOURAGED spiritually! That's why I said, I pushed this out. I almost didn't record it...but I want you to "see" that warfare isn't always pretty. Walking by faith, believing and declaring His word isn't always a "walk in the park". No, No, NO...I've been in the valley...and my God has remained FAITHFUL!!!
Let us pray!
You know why fear is a liar? Because it originated with the father of lies, Satan! On this podcast, I share a very recent "fight" I engaged in, THIS MORNING in prayer, with the enemy of our souls! I believe the spirit of fear was broken off of my life, after living nearly 30yrs paralyzed by it, and I'm believing it can happen for you too!
Bring your faith, and let's pray!
We're 36 days away from 2019. Are you waiting for the clock to strike midnight or are you making your change today? Where do you want to me mentally, physically and emotionally this time next year? Aren't you tired of knowing what you need to do but lacking the "will" or god-given power to make real change? I believe, it all begins and ends with prayer. Speaking honestly to God, accepting the "things" you can't change and being as productive and focused as possible to change the things you can change, will propel you into your best year yet!
Join me in prayer as we collide with destiny by bombarding Heaven with prayers of faith!
I think there is this false belief that if you believe in God, you never struggle to forgive, love or repair relationships. The holiday season triggers a lot of emotions. Some good, some not so good. What do you do when you've been traumatized, ridiculed, lost a loved one and/or house in a natural disaster? How on earth do you find the mental/emotional band width to be grateful???
Join me in prayer as we take that to God!
Many of us are historians. We remember everything that happened that was bad. We remember what we wore when it happened, where we were when they said it and some of us will physically get ourselves "worked up" behind "it". But when was the last time you gave yourself permission to grieve? to heal? to laugh? to let go and accept that you can't change it, but you can change YOU!
THAT'S who this prayer is for. The person who wants to give themselves permission to be free and LIVE!
Let us pray!
Whoever has your affection has your heart. This prayer is for those who have been decieved by the lies and manipulation of Satan. Let's turn our hearts back to God, and watch Him work!
Let us pray...
We want change, good health and a good life but we don't want to necessarily change in order to bring about that good life and health. We change jobs, the state we live in, our names, even our version of past events. But one thing is TRUE, you can ONLY BE who your heart says you are. Until you change your heart, wherever your go, you will run into you. I thank God that He allows us the opportunity to change! Change our perspective, our beliefs, our habits, our attitude...even our false perceptions of ourselves. We're not waiting for the new year to introduce change, we're praying for it NOW!
Out with the old an in with GOD!
Let us Pray!
Remind yourself of this truth as you walk around your house, when trouble knocks at your door, when the ones you love hurt you the most, as you lay down on your bed and cry yourself to sleep....OUR GOD IS FAITHFUL!!!
Let us pray!
We know God can answer prayers. Many times He answers them long after we've stopped praying for and/or expecting them. But what is your mindset once the blessings start to flow? Are you still humble? teachable? Have you become a bigger a giver? How are you handling the "things" that come along with the blessings you ask for, well and with integrity? Let's pray about it. So that when God gives you your hearts desire, you can be trusted with MORE!
Don't let what you see, distract you from Who you know! Keep doing good. Keep helping others. Keep showing up and challenging your comfort zones! God has MORE for us....
Let Us Pray!
God has more in store for you. But it will require more OF you to achieve and receive it. So, don't walk away from what He has given you to do. "Its" suppose to be challenging and unfamiliar. Lean in and keep walking by faith!
Let us pray...
I almost didn't record or post this time in prayer. But I believe it is our transparency before the Father in prayer that gets His attention. So, here is my offering in the midst of my hurt and disappointment. You may or may not like this prayer, BUT I think it is my best one yet!
Let us pray....
Everyone wants to be a leader these days. At the very least, they assume leadership is a "cake walk" and that "they" can do "it" better. I believe you are a leader when you can lead from the middle, BEFORE you ever received the "title" leader. I also believe you become a GREAT leader, when you are able to become more Christ-like amongst the hardest of hearts God has sent you to lead!
Join me in prayer, as we petition God to make us into COURAGEOUS leaders!
I can not tell you how many times I allowed fear and opinions of others to discourage, confuse and talk me out of my God-given assignment! But what do you do when God KEEPS that "thing" heavy on your heart and won't allow you to put it down? You do what Moses and Esther and Mary and Debra and Paul did, you lean into God and trust!
Let us pray!
On Saturday August 25th, Senior Pastor of Inland Hills Church Andrew Stoecklein committed suicide. His death prompted my heart to pray this prayer.
May his wife, family and church family/friends be comforted by the God of ALL comfort during this time.

Let Us Pray!
It's the start of a fresh new week! Lot's to do, say and places to be. But have we spent time with God yet? Have we ask Him to lead and guide us? What about the "issues" of our hearts? Are we making the most of our time and days or are we working to "prove to someone" that they were wrong about us? Let's come together and pray. Our minds and hearts are not equipped to hold the strain and stress of a "rat race" mentality. If "it" is for us, then we must pace ourselves, work hard and pray too!
Let us pray...
I know it seems like everyone else is prospering, making moves and everything they touch turns to gold, but sis, what YOU have has not been ignored, overlooked or forgotten!
"The preparations of the heart belong to man, But the answer of the tongue is from the Lord."- Proverbs16:1
What God has prepared for you, you can't even fathom! Join me in prayer as I seek to remind you of what the Lord reminded me of, "I see your courage!"
There use to be a time when school was back in session you felt relief. Nowadays that relief has been filled with fear and anxiety. Rightfully so, no one could've imagined we would be sending our teachers back to school earlier to be trained in how to protect themselves and the kids from an "active shooter". If you have been meaning to start praying, I want to COMPEL you to do it THIS YEAR!
Yes, we need to change the gun laws. Yes, we need tighter security on campus. Yes, to ALL of the laws that can keep us safe.
And YES to praying in the Spirit. Because there is NO LAW that can contain and change a heart, EXCEPT through the blood of Jesus!!!
"For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance , but the Lord looks at the heart."-1Sam16:7
Let us pray!
There is NOTHING like a grateful heart! Join me in prayer as I say THANK YOU to a God who has done exceedingly, abundantly what I could ask or even THINK!!!
I once heard a preacher say, "you don't get more of what you want, without getting more of what you don't want." And how true that is! Maybe you are like me, praying and asking God for MANY things for you, your family and friends. Nothing wrong with that at all. I think what we miss is that, WITH the prayers that are being made, there is ALWAYS something attached to "it" that we didn't ask for, but God saw fit to give that too!
Join me in prayer as I ask God to help me manage well that "things" that I don't want, that come along with the things I do want!
Let us pray!!!
You ever been in a place where you just KNOW you need more of Him? That place where there is a pull on your heart for greater, for bigger, for deeper? If you can relate, this prayer is for you! I recorded this prayer as I walked around the sanctuary of our church. As the psalmist Travis Green declares in one of his songs, "I still believe what my eyes can't see..."
It's go time. Join me in prayer!
This prayer is for the person who no longer wants to "find a way" to blame others and play the victim in this chapter of their life story. You can finally see that "you are the cause" and that things need to change. They need to change because you aren't happy, you aren't satisfied with where you are. You've spent MOST of your life trying to be someone you thought you should be, instead of being who God created you to be. You need protection from you because no matter where you go, the you that reasons, justifies and lies will keep you right where you are...in bondage and fear. Bring your faith and let's pray!
"You're familiar with the old written law, 'Love your friend,' and its UNWRITTEN companion, 'Hate your enemy.' I'm challenging that. I'm telling you to love your enemies. Let them bring out the BEST IN YOU, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer, for then you are working out of your true selves, your God-created selves. This is what God does. He gives His best-the sun to warm and the rain to nourish-to everyone, regardless: the good and bad, the nice and nasty. If all you do is love the lovable, do you expect a bonus? Anybody can do that..."-Matt5:43-47(MSG)
Everyone has there "thing" that they make excuses for. Whether it be losing weight, quitting drinking and abusing drugs, unforgiveness, accepting help, being a more loving and sacrificial spouse, attending church, saving money...and yet we want to be blessed with (fill in the blank). I'm learning that God will not bless you with more is you embrace and master little. Paul says, "I discipline myself like an athlete, training it (attitude, perspective, response, reactions, decisions) to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others (operating in your gift in public) I myself might be disqualified (living poorly; lack of self control; confidence; courage; faith)."1Cor9:27 In other words, if we don't master our flesh, "it" will continue to guide our lives and leave us feeling unhappy, unfulfilled and unlikeable.
Bring your faith and let's pray!
I believe narcissistic abuse does far more damage than any other abuse because it seeks to confuse the mind, warp reality and relentlessly beat you down verbally, emotionally and many times physically. A narcissist is a spirit crusher. They seek to control, confuse and torment individuals to gratify their insatiable egotistical/prideful mind. The goal of a narcissist is to make the victim feel more dependent on them and ever less likely to leave. If you have suffered at the hands of a narcissist, my heart breaks for you! It is not your fault and YOU CAN HAVE A HEALTHY, VIBRANT LIFE...but you must escape their abuse. No matter how much you cry, reason or "perform" for them, it will never be enough because it was never about you.

Giants exist in all of our lives. There size can be intimidating, daunting and antagonizing. In the story of David and Goliath the giant was an actual person who harassed the Isreal army for 40 days!!! While we may not have an actual person who is taunting and mocking us, though some of us might, if we are being or have been raised by a narcissistic parent, our giants may be in the form of an addiction, fear, low self esteem or worry. WHATEVER the giant, we have assurance in our godly weapons (prayer, faith, trust, endurance) that they can FALL DOWN! Join me in prayer as we pray for their downfall and our deliverance! #wegotthis
The closer you get to God, the more hell plots and plans to distract, discourage and confuse you. I had to reming myself that THIS battle, is the Lords!!! When I say that, I mean, the hell I'm experiencing is because I'm doing my assignment. And if you are doing your assignment, remind yourself that ALL this hell you're catching is because your on the side of VICTORY! Bring your faith and LET'S PRAY!!!
In the nonstop, ever changing world of social media, it can be VERY hard to keep focus on what God has given you to do. Everyone looks like they are winning. While there are many people who do, most of us don't. At least not yet...I know we shouldn't compare, but I've found even for the best of us, if you stay on social media long enough, you can "fall into" the comparison game before you realize it! Quiet as it's kept, I think we ALL have someone, sometimes that we are watching that we compare our whatever to. If you are human like me, and have these type of feelings , as ashamed of them as I am, then THIS prayer is for you! We gone be alright!
Have you ever found yourself "worn out" spiritually because you have SO much you want to do, but aren't sure how to do it? Or do you ever get on social media and within MINUTES of scrolling on your timeline, you feel like you aren't doing enough? It's like everyone is moving, bossing and hustling at break neck speed, with results, and here you are gifted, talented, working and believing in yourself, YET it can feel like no one knows your name or even cares? Well, if you answered yes to any of these questions, this podcast is for you! #breathe
Hi family! I'm back. I apologize for being gone SO long. I hope you are doing well and in good health! I truly appreciate your patience with me. I hope this podcast meets you right where you are and encourages your heart and impacts your life. We are in this together and as we pray, God will give us what we need to do and be our best! I love you. More importantly, God loves you!
In order for "things" to change, WE must change! It can't ALWAYS be everyone else. Admittedly, change is hard because it REQUIRES us to hold ourselves accountable and to be honest. I believe, that prayer changes EVERYTHING! Honest communication with God about the inner "issues" we ALL deal with, will give us the courage, maturity and endurance to put our faith into ACTION! "Faith without works, is dead!" James2:26
I believe in God and acknowledge that I have Mental Illness. I don't lack faith because I admit that. We must shape our Theology according to the Bible, not our feelings and/or traditions. Jesus showed us an example of healthy grief work (when He heard Lazarus died) and Job, Paul, Jeremiah, Jonah and Elisha exhibit bouts of extreme sadness, anxiety, paranoia and hopelessness. Yet, God used their lives to show how great and mighty He is through sickness and crippling pain. This episode is for ANYONE who wants to get well.
"When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, "Do you want to be made well?"- John5:6
"You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you. A little leaven leavens the whole lump."-Gal5:7-8
Let those who have an ear "hear" what thus says the Lord. He is always speaking. Are we listening and running the "race" with endurance? Join me in prayer.
Honestly, I didn't "feel" like praying today. My heart is hurting for our nation and I am mentally exhausted. So, I decided to share just that, in this podcast. Prayer warriors don't always feel like they're being heard. Nevertheless, we (prayer warriors) KNOW God is listening just as intently when we are ready to "go to war" in the spirit realm as when we just need to have a talk with our Daddy. This is what this Podcast is. #beencouraged #realtalk
Are you having a hard time loving others on Valentines Day or ANY day? Then THIS prayer is for you! Did you know that LOVE was the reason Christ died for us? That it was because of the angry, unforgiving, stubborn, hateful, bruised heart that He came to Redeem us! How AWESOME is that?!?! Place your hurt in His Hands TODAY! After you have done that, come back tomorrow and do it again. and again. Then find a good therapist (I prefer Christian therapist, counselors and/or support groups) and keep a regular scheduled appt until your Help arrives!
Let us pray! Bring your faith!
Don't you dare give up on the dream/vision God gave you! Great "things" take time because God NEEDS us to have the character to SUSTAIN us IN the blessing! So while you (we) wait, let this prayer encourage your heart. The vision is for an "appointed time"...will you be ready? Let's go!
We've all heard the old adage, "growing old gracefully" and I think that's a fantastic way to look at life. Growing older is a blessing and some "things" in life you NEED age to genuinely appreciate "it", or "that" or "them". As I near my 44th birthday, I've decided I want to grow older in an OUTSTANDING way! What I mean by that is, I REFUSE to just "let myself go", mentally or physically. I want my "latter" days to be MORE significant than my previous days, mentally and physically! I want to be stronger, more energetic, more insightful, more pleasant, more courageous, more giving and sweeter as the days go by! I believe with God ANYTHING is POSSIBLE!!! Bring your faith.
Let me pray for you!

Change REQUIRES change! 2018 is here but if we don't change our habits and perspective on who God is, His power in the midst of this broken world we will be in the same exact spot we've been in for the past 10, 20, 30yrs! It's time for change. Bring your faith and let me pray for you!
We hear more horror stories of blended families than we do of victories in the blended family. Whether it's 'baby mama drama' or a 'dead beat dad' situation, with intentional prayer, maturity and a mindset to love, you can have a healthy, thriving blended family. I won't promise you it will be easy or fun. But if you will STAY FAITHFUL to doing what's right, good change can happen. Signed, Stepmom of 13yrs. Let me pray for you!
When you're hurting the last thing you want to do is pray. But it's when we're hurting the most, we seek God in the most sincere way! Join me in prayer as we pull on Heaven for hope, strength and comfort!
Whether we believe it or not, there is an unseen world (good and bad) influencing the 'seen' world. The Prince of the Air (Satan) is in charge of the bad (fallen angels) and he wants nothing more than to destroy and distract you from worshipping, loving and living for God. Join me in prayer as we 'come against his schemes' with our' weapons -prayer, praise, faith- that are MIGHTY in God!
1Tim4:8 says, "For bodily exercise profits a little..." meaning, that if we place our confidence and self worth in our appearance alone, we will discover that it's benefits won't heal the hurt of the soul or bring us closer to godliness. I am by no means saying don't exercise. That would be unwise! What I am saying is remember the small benefits (restful nights sleep, decreased anxiety & worry, etc) and reap the GOOD results so that you can fulfill your God given assignment! Let me pray for you...
As wives, its important to remember how precious we are to God and how vital our presence is to the health of our marriages! Join me as I pray for us and lets watch and see what the Lord will do in our hearts!
