My granddaughter married into a family that has all kinds of family problems. Thank goodness the man she married wants a better life for my granddaughter and their baby girl. They are living with his parents right now, but they are moving into their own home next month and all I can say is "PRAISE THE LORD FOR WATCHING OVER THEM THESE PAST FEW MONTHS". If it was not for God I don't think they would have made it. Keep them in your prayers. I love My Heavenly Father and I know he loves me and watches over me daily. He has helped me through so many times when I thought he was not listening. I can remember a lot of times when I prayed and I thought he was ignoring me and days and maybe weeks later I saw his answer right in front of me.

I also felt this about 9 years ago when my father died and I was praying for assurance of his salvation. It is good to know that Jesus is always there when we call on Him, and lets us feel His presence in a special way when we most need it. PRAISE HIM!!

It was all women and we used the letters in the word hope this way, Helping Other Princesses Evolve. Maybe I should change that to Helping Other People Evolve. This is only mys second day here and I noticed a gentleman posted concerned about his wife but placing her in the Lord's hands. There is always HOPE if our hope is in the Lord.

I remember a very dark time in my life when that happened to me. I was living overseas and I was very sick with chronic bronchitis. All I could manage to do was crawl out of bed, go teach for a couple of hours, come home and sleep, and do the same again in the afternoon. I would cough sometimes incessantly for 30 minutes or more. I was exhausted, lonely, and very discouraged. One day as I lay in bed reading The Sacred Romance by Brent Curtis and John Eldredge, I sensed the love of God leap off the page at me and cover me in a way I had never known before. I put the book on my chest and turned my head to look out the window where I saw I hawk soaring high above the bay a few blocks from me. As he made huge circles in the sky, God's love filled me and overwhelmed me. I wept as I began to realize the depth and strength of this love. In the coming days and months, I was changed from the inside out. I began to see that as much as God loves me, as if I were His ONLY love, He loves EVERY person I meet just as much! Suddenly, I wanted nothing more than to share this wonderful love with all those who had never known it before. It was the most fulfilling and amazing time of my life. That was 7 years ago now. Since then, I have slipped back into the mundaneness of life, and though I have never forgotten this experience and the wonders it worked in me, I have lost touch with the reality of God's love for me and for others. Lord, please rekindle the fire of your love in my heart. Capture me again with Your undending love so much that it spills over onto all those around me. Hear my prayer and make me new, again.

It is through your power that we were created. Every breath we take; every morning we wake, and every moment of every hour, we live under your power. Father, I ask you now to touch JD's son with the same power. For if you created us from nothing, you can certainly recreate him. Fill him with the helping power of your spirit. Cast out anything that should not be in him. Mend what is broken. Root out any unproductive cells. Open any broken arteries or veins and rebuild any damaged areas. Remove all inflammation and cleanse any infection. Let the warmth of your healing love pass through his body to make new any unhealthy areas, so that his body will function the way you created it to function. And Father, restore JD's husband's faith in you and affection toward her. Restore this family to full health in mind and body so that they may serve you the rest of their lives. I ask this through Christ our Lord.And Father please cover Ann's son [mind/body/spirit] during his stay in Iraq. and return him safely to his family. Thank you Lord for your love/goodness/mercy/and protection. Heavenly Father, I call on you right now in a special way. It is through your power that we were created.

My young son will have a serious surgury in january. I feel like i am in a dark well all alone. I recognize however that God wants me to rely on him more than ever. This devotional was encouraging to me. I dont have any encouraging words right now. I am so grateful he hasn't left my husband and can bring him out of this if he will let him. God Bless.
