Arise My Daughter
Is it time to take a step of faith?
“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. (Isaiah 60:1)
My beloved daughter, it is time for you to arise and take your stance in the light of my Son. I, your heavenly Father, am calling you out of darkness. Arise from your affliction for my power within you is greater than your despondency. Healing, restoration, and freedom await but you must have faith. I beckon you to arise to the new things I seek to do within, for, and through you.
Cleary, you do not perceive that your prison sentence, inner turmoil and suffering, is over. I, the Lord, have removed the chains that bound you. Your shackles are loose, and your prison doors are open. In your darkness, I heard your weeping and now I offer you my joy. Freedom and new life awaits but you must choose to come out of captivity. My precious one, it is time for you to step forward and partake in the new things I set before you.
Stop mulling over old wounds, hurts, and grudges. Abandon victimization, self-pity, and the lies of the enemy. He has stolen from you long enough. I will not tolerate it any longer! You are my child, a daughter of the King. I want you to fight and recapture that which he has stolen. Reclaim your life, family, joy, and peace. Reclaim the freedom to live for me, the One who brings you out of darkness and into the Light.
With your head held high, step forward into the higher ground I bequeath unto you. I have wonderful plans to use you in unimaginable ways, if you are willing to abandon your poverty-ridden condition. You are an heir to the King of kings. I seek to robe you with a garment of honor and virtue, to crown you with beauty and joy as you arise from the ashes.
Awake! Your liberty bell is ringing. Do you not hear it? My Light is shining upon you. Do you not see it? My power is within you. Do you not sense it? The enemy has no claim on you any longer. My beloved Son paid a great price for your release. You are mine! Grab hold, claim, and embrace your new life and freedom in Christ. My Word says, “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” (John 8:36)
At times it may seem scary, but do not fear for I am with you. You may try to retreat back to your old familiar grounds, but this is unwise. You will have questions and doubt, but remember morning, noon, and night I am with you. Talk to me as we breathe, live, and work together. Let us walk closely together in the new plan, life, and future I have prepared for you. Arise my daughter…step out in faith…abiding, leaning, and trusting in Me daily. Love, Your Heavenly Father
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

Dear Carol,
It is wonderful to hear that you have been blessed by this “Arise My Daughter” message. It is great that God is working in you and that His Spirit and Word is doing a wonderful thing within you. May you continue to be blessed day in and day out. I have already witnessed other daughters of the Most High move to the next level with Him after being blessed by this powerful message. Have a wonderful, blessed weekend!
God Bless you beyond measure as He brings you to higher grounds of service….
My comment is really late, however, I wanted you know that I have kept this devotional in my inbox and read it every day. It is still strengthening me and i don’t plan on deleting it ny time soon.
Dear Barb, It is so nice to hear how this “Arise My Daughter” message has ministered to you over the past two weeks. May it continue to bless you as God opens more and more doors of opportunity for you to go through. May God’s blessings and purpose unfold in your life more than you could ever hope or imagine!
I know that my comments are late but I have read this over and over as encouragement these past 2 weeks.
God is amazing! As I read all of the comments I am moved at how He touches and ministers to each of His daughters differently. His hand is ever upon us right where we are.
Thank you for this prayer!!!
I don’t know where all of you got the idea that God was speaking to you! He meant this for ME!!!! All kidding aside though, I appreciate the sisterhood… the idea that we’re not as alone as we think… that there is a true fellowship out there just waiitng to be tapped into through the power of the Holy Spirit.Above all I thank God for making provision as always – at the right time and place in my life. Thank you for allowing Him to work thorugh you, Barbara.
Dear Connie,
So glad that you received the confirmation you were seeking from God. May His Spirit Rise Upon you!
Dear God,
May Your abiding Spirit teach Connie how to live and walk in the newness You are bringing her into. Reveal to her what You desire for her to learn as she seeks to take daily steps into the wonderful purpose and plan you have mapped out for her life. May Your Holy Spirit continue to work in and through Connie so she can become the woman you are calling her to. Each time she hears the word “Arise” in a song may she reflect back on this inspiring “Arise My Daughter” message prompting her to keep going forward. In Jesus Name, Amen
I received this on time email and sensed the Holy Spirit speaking to me through it. Actually I asked for confirmation that is was for me as I received this just a few days ago and last night at church we sang a new song “Arise and Shine for the glory of the Lord has shone upon you.” I cannot get much more confirmation that that. Pray I learn to walk in all of this for I KNOW I AM HIS.
Dear God,
May You pour Your Spirit out on each of your beloved daughters that have been moved by this “Arise My Daughter” message. May you prepare each one to come out of whatever has them bound so they may walk in freedom and in Your ways. Bring each one of your daughters to higher grounds and the new plans you have for them. Let not nothing hold them back from becoming the women You are calling them to be. May none of your beloved ones retreat to old grounds You are leading them out of. May you send a double blessing to all your daughters that decided to share this profound message with others. They did not just think of themselves but took the time to pass the blessing along.
Thank You Father for such a wonderful time as this!
Amen
In Jesus Name Amen
Dear Kim,
It is amazing when God brings a Word at just the right time! May you go forward knowing that you did a wonderful job at the security prison God had you work at for a season. May you go on into the new chapter and season of your life filled with His Spirit in doing great works He has planned for you. Thank you for sharing the message with others for I know that God loves when we share such a wonderful message with others.
Father God,
May your Spirit be poured out in Kim’s life. As she lets go of her former job and embraces the new may she know that You have closed one door and is opening a new door for her. May you send a double blessing her way for thinking not only of her self when reading this Word but sharing it with your other daughters as well.
In Jesus name, Amen
Heavenly Father,
May you be with your beloved daughter Zena as she ventures out into the new things you are calling her to. We know all things are possible with You even when our natural mind says it is impossible. Your Word is true yesterday, today and forever…and with Zena’s faith in You all things will work out according to your wonderful plans. May you place a hedge of protection around Zena as she steps forward in Faith so that nothing formed against her shall bring any harm. May all Glory, Honor, and Praise be for You and your kingdom. Amen
Dear Jill,
Thank you for opening up and sharing with us here. May our beloved Lord continue to minister to your heart over the loss you have been through. May He set your feet on solid ground as you begin to move onward into the new things He is doing in your life.
Heavenly Father,
May your Spirit be poured out on Jill this very moment. The Words that You spoke to her as she read this profound message ministered to her broken heart already and may it continue in the days to come. In Jesus Name, Amen
Dear Diane,
So glad that this message has blessed you.
May God continue to protect, provide and bless you as He unfolds the wonderful plans He has for you.
I am another who I believe was “meant” to receive this word. I could barely read it for tears. After losing my baby daughter to stillbirth three and a half years ago, I have been on a long and dark journey through hell and faithlessness. Over these past months, I have been experiencing the renewing power and grace of God and this devotional spoke into that part of me. I have a separate folder in my email for devotionals and I will be saving this one to revisit often, I think.
Thank you for your nourishing words.
Words cannot express how much this devotional blessed me!!! Thank you God for not giving up on us and for the good plans you have!! I love you Lord!!
Thank You Lord GoD for Your message today, my strength comes from You. I know that You will forever be with me and my family through all the days of our lives. I Love You.
This was a word from heaven for me. God has called me to a venture that outside of His power and in the natural seems impossible. This was a word in season to spurn me on to greatness in Christ Jesus and for his glory. God bless the writer.
Dear Betty,
Thank you for your comment. It is an honor to know that God’s profound message has blessed and ministered to you. Continue to pray to God about the plan He has for you. Normaly it starts off small but as you are faithful with the little He widens your borders to greater service beyond your wildest dreams. I hope you will reprint the “Arise My Daughter” devotional so you can read it over and over anytime you need a reminder of His love for you and the higher grounds He is leading you to.
Heavenly Father,
May you reveal to Betty the plan you have for her. May she understand her calling and be equipped to do that which You want to do through her willingness to serve You. May your Spirit guide her along the way so she will recognize your hand leading her through each day. Betty desires to know her purpose…the dreams you have for her…so may you reveal such to her soon. In Jesus name, Amen
Dear E.M.,
May you realize that God was speaking directly to you as He did to so many of the other ladies that felt the same inner touch of His loving Spirit. I was just a mere means…a willing vessel…to write what He wanted. The weeping you experienced was His Spirit in tune to the words He revealed and spoke.
Heavenly Father, May you continue to retore E.M. so she can move onwards to the new level of service she already knows you are equipping her for. May she know when the time is right for her to go forward without fear or hesitation. May your mighty works be done through E.M. as you bring her into that special place that you want to use her in. Bless her with a calling that will touch the hearts of many as You have been doing to her over the past several months. In Jesus name, Amen
Dear Betty,
It is so nice to hear that this blessed message ministered to your heart. May you arise from all that has been taking place and enter the abundant inner Peace and Joy that God has for you.
Dear God,
I pray that you will aid Betty in this time of suffering. May your Spirit arise within her ministering to every area of discomfort she is experiencing. She is Your daughter. A beloved daughter of the King of kings. Robe her with your beauty and crown her with glory as she abides in you and your Spirit works through her. May she step forward in time to come and embrace the wonderful plans you have prepared for her. In Jesus name, Amen
This devotional spoke directly to me. I read and reread every word and will keep this and read it again. I know that God has a plan for me that I have yet to realize. Thank you for allowing Him to speak to me through you.
I was so touched & blessed with this devotional, I felt as though the Lord was speaking directly to me, It touched my heart so deeply, I began to weep as I read it, I know God is calling me to a level of service to him that I at times thought was gone, but he is restoring everything that was taken from me, he is such a good, wonderful & Faithful Father.
Dear Barbara, thank you SO much for your prayer for me personally and for all your heartfelt genuine ones for the other sisters as well. i read and re read the prayer as it brought me much comfort. i sure don’t know why Wanting to be loved by another human being has to ache so much. Someitmes i wish God had made another plan where all we would desire was HIM. That is wouldn’t matter how alone we were and that hugs and encouraging words didn’t matter. i have so much love inside of me and it needs to be let out on a daily basis. Being by myself only makes me self centered and selfish only having to think about myself. It’s a lonely place to be. i should look into volunteering or something. May the LORD bless you as well for all your time in praying and lifting up others. ~Hug
I cannot tell you how this devotional touched me. It has been a very trying time for the last week to ten days. I have felt lost and have been hurt. I felt healing in my spirit as I read the words. Thank you!
Dear Stacey, Stay firm in your faith and walk with God. There is a battle going on for you are a child of God and the enemy will do anything he can to keep you away from God’s truth and promises. May you and your husband continue to abide in God’s Word and Ways and let nothing get in the way of you pressing onwards to the higher level God offers.
Heavenly Father, Place a hedge of protecion around Stacey and her husband. Let not the forces of evil trip them. May you give them discernment to know the works of the enemy and Your power within them to overcome such battle. In Jesus name, Amen
Dear Wow, I know that God is so happy that you have found comfort in this inspiring message of His love for you. It is an honor and privalage to serve such a mighty God and bless His children in the midst of it all.
Father God, Be with Wow as she seeks to follow you. May Your Spirit be with her all the days of her life and lift her to the higher grounds You offer. Amen
I was SO excited when I read this the other morning when I was at work. I had been seeking the Lord on some issues in my life and it took my breath away as I was reading it. I know without a shadow of a doubt the Lord was speaking to me. I felt so special and loved as I read it. I shared it with my friends at work, too. They were amazed. One friend knew it was for her, too. She has been struggling. Yes, Jesus speaks to the multitudes. : )
One other thing I need to mention. I read this on my last day of work. I was called there by the Lord and wondering if it was actually time for me to leave and I had been praying about this. I happened to be working at a medium security prison. The Lord kept me safe while I was serving there as a nurse. I now know it is time to move on and follow His leading. I hope and pray my time serving at the prison was fruitful as I planted seeds.
I know I had been called there to treat the prisoners with dignity and respect, as a human. I an not their judge, the Lord is. They made mistakes. They hurt people in all kinds of ways but God no longer calls for an eye for an eye. Jesus is full of mercy and grace. I know the prisoners appreciated me treating them as humans. They told me so many times and was appreciative.
Now is a new chapter in my life. Thank you Barbara for being obedient to the Lord and writing this. I was filled with such joy and amazement as I read this. I will never forget it! God bless you and your family!
Father God,
Be with Deirdre and her family as they turn towards You. May you pour abundant blessings upon them in exchange for the 7 years of intense refining You have had them in. May they walk freely through the prison doors to the higher grounds You offer. May the wonderful plans You have for them begin to unfold in unimaginable ways. Place a hedge of protection around Deirdre so she may never retreat back to the place you are calling her out of.
In Jesus name, Amen
Margaret, It is so great how God delivers a refreshing Word just when we need it the most! May you find all freedom in Him who sets you free. May you never cleave to the lies of the emeny and only cling to the truth of God’s Word and faithfulness.
Heavenly Father, Be with Margaret as she continues to walk in the freedom You have given her. May your Word guide her every step of the way. Lead her to the higher grounds and purposes You have for her. Amen
Dear Trisha, I pray that this devotional message will continue to minister to your broken heart. At this precious moment in time let me pray for you.
Heavenly Father,
May you be with Trisha at this vulnerable time of her life. May your Spirit of love, joy and peace blanket her. May she feel your presence as she goes to visit her son and grandchild. Reunite them as you would want such to be. Let not no distance keep her seperated from her family nor from embarcing the LOVE you have for her.
Comfort Trish in every area of her life that needs to be filled by YOU. Let not her heart be lonely for You do not desire your children to feel left alone. Bring the right people into Trish’s life that will minister and encourage her along the way.
As you collect each one of Trisha’s tears…may she come to fully believe that YOU are about to do something wonderful in her life that is going to bring her to a higher place with YOU. As she arises out of the ashes may she say, “God heard my weeping. He has now robed me with garments of honor and virute, and crowned me with beauty and joy. Thy Lord has done a good thing for me…His daughter.”
In Jesus name, Amen
What a beautiful piece…just what I have been needing to hear and be reminded of. The enemy delights in telling us otherwise. I will read this regularly to remind me of God’s faithfulness and freedom.
Like Stacey, i too opened this email this morning and it was for me too! i have beeb very depressed with uncontrollable crying and feelings of darkness all over me. i haven’t seen my son in almost 10 yrs and God is just now putting things in order for me, through the obedience of other believers. It is very scary for me to have to make all kinds of traveling plans to go see him and my new baby grandbaby. i am here 1900 miles away from them. i have aquaintences here but am totally alone with no family! i feel SO abandoned, rejected and alone. Unlike Stacey, i have no “amazing” husband to turn to or to be by my side. Both my marraiges ended in divorce. The self pity tries to put itself on the thronge so i have to fight hard to keep Jesus there. i woke up sobbing this morning and am all stuffed up. i just don’t know what’s going on with me. Could be hormonal age changes as well. i just know this devotional spoke to me and i want so badly to believe it. That God would do something so loving for me to bring me to a higher place with Him. His Word says i’m not alone yet why do i feel SO alone? i wait for Him to talk to me all the time. i believe He is working somehow behind the scences you know? Yet this lonliness almost suffocates me. i long to be held and loved and for God to bring me someone i can love back. i’m so tired of being alone!
Dear Beloved Daughters of the Lord,
I am ever so humble and grateful that this profound message from our Heavenly Father has ministered to your hearts. When penning it I knew His Spirit was flowing with an urgent message for His beloved daughters.
May God’s…Light, Spirit, and Presence…be with each one of you.
Heavenly Farther,
May our lives bring glory, honor and praise to You.
We love you Lord!
Amen
This is a message for me . Thank you. Have a great week
I am so happy to have this devo daily God has had me in a 7 yr. season of intense refining. After divorce & reconciliation with my husband/family these have been 7 difficult years. I’m praying this prayer and taking the marching orders seriously. Our family is starting to turn towards God after years of rebellion.
Praise God for His holy word. So excited to see God move & shake us to grow in Him.
This is amazing. I can’t begin to describe how this resonates. I was crying. I felt the Lord speak right to me. This is 100% spot on for me. God bless whoever wrote this devotional prayer and the people who run this site. May you be blessed double in return. This site is truly a blessing every day. Thank you.
Absolutely incredible!! Praise our glorious Lord and all that he does for us.
If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought this was a personal message from God directly to my inbox, written just for me. And maybe in some ways it was.
Over the last 2 weeks, I have endured lie after twisted lie from the master of lies himself trying to make me backslide in my faith. I have recently been saved and for a while things were awesome. I quit smoking, I was happier, felt more alive than I had in years and I thought for the most part…Satan had no more holds on me…but boy was I WRONG!!! I’ve realized that there is a huge war going on of good vs. evil that has been and still is currently taking place inside my heart & mind and the prize…is my soul.
Here I thought I was doing great and keeping temptation & sin at bay, but as soon as my “house” was clean…Satan came at me even harder and this time he really went all out. Attacking me in my weakest areas. But by the grace of God and the strength He gives me every day and with the support of my amazing husband, I was able to realize, just mere hours ago that it was the devil all this time…twisting & spinning lies, bringing up my messy past to make me feel angry and guilty…telling me I was alone and my husband’s new found faith wasn’t strong enough to fully support him, let alone me and that I shouldn’t burden him with my problems right now. So basically all this time I have been feeling angry, guilty, depressed and alone again like I did BEFORE God called me into the light, the devil has been trying to win my soul back into the darkness!! Why couldn’t I see it??
Finally, after a lengthy conversation with my husband and realizing what’s been going on with me the last 2 weeks…I open my email and I read this!! Wow!! Praise God!! Hallelujah and Amen!! He is Awesome!!
Very timely
Amen and amen!
hmmmmmm….
Life with God
I know these words and know that truly
forever more that only The True God
would have used my experiences to
speak with me in this manner…
(Scripture’s ). I struggle. with Daily!
I know there is but One God such as a
Diamond but many faceted. Whom
many thing’s, love, kindness,
The Son of God. Our Blessed Spirit,’
but mostly The One and
only true God, who, knows me
and really loves me,… The God whom
wants me to leave all bad experiences
in the past and look for my future with
The One True God…Forevermore
Amen~and~Amen written by the

Beautiful message from the Father on the Feast of Pentecost.
this had my name written all over it……..
This is awesome. Can’t begin to tell you how timely this is for me. I just ordered a book Daughter of a King. I could say more of how this devotion could be a confirmation in and for my life. God Bless You!
I really enjoy reading these on a daily basis. Although each and every day I am touched by the meaning, this one in particular encompasses them all; giving me hope for all I have been praying for.
