Evening prayer 6/2/19
Heavenly Father I thank you for the day, the weekend. I thank you for the time spent watching A Dogs Journey with the family. I thank you lord the love and happiness a dog brings to the family.
I pray for the upcoming week especially at work. I pray lord that your hand will be on me and that I have your favor. I pray for patience and knowledge. Finally, I pray that my life is a reflection of your love.
I thank you that my parents will be here soon.
Forgive me of my shortcomings lord. I thank you for your love and patience. I thank you for the cross. In Jesus name. Amen. PJSLB
Prayer request for a child’s lost faith
05/21/19 – P.V.N.C asks for the following. Prayer for her child who has strayed way from the teachings of Christ. They has a wonderfuly child who they raised in the church. This child was active in evrything from childrens ministry to teen youth groups, young adults and even did ministry. Today, this child believes in God but no longer believes in Jesus as Jesus was just a “good person.”
Knowing that a person once had a relationship with Chirist and is now astray is painful. Multiply that pain 100 percent and that is how this mother and father feel. You have raised your child in the church and have devtored yourself to bringing them up in the faith. Today, you see your child live a life contrarty to everytyhing they have lived and learned as a child.
There is no words of comfort that any person on this eartch can give them. The comfort can only come from Christ. Jesus knew that a struggle with finding peace on earth was tough. So tough that he talked about it often.
What Jesus Said About Peace
When we study the Bible and the topic of Peace, a great place to start is with the words of Jesus Christ. These passages are some of the favorites of mine and many other people as they speak comfort and courage into my life. When I struggle with anxiety, I look no further then Jesus saying in John 16:33 that He has overcome this world and gives us peace. We can rest safely in our salvation and cling to these words from our Savior.
Matthew 5:9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
Matthew 11:28-30 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
John 16:33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
John 20:19 On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
Join my in praying for this family. Lord, we pray for faith, peace, and a calmness in this storm for the mother and father. We also pray for a Prodigal Son victory for the family. Finally, we pray for this Child lord. We pray that you talk to their spirit. The very spirit you entered when they accepted you as their Lord and Savior. We know you will not forsaken this child. In Jesus name, Amen.
Tauren Wells – Hills and Valleys
My walk with Christ has been one big soundtrack. I can hear a song and immediately go back to a time when i head this song. Songs that remind of of the power of God (God’s Not Dead – Newsboys) to the inspiration that i need at that particuar moment (Lauren Daigle.)
Lately, my “go to song” has been Tauren Wells – Hills and Valleys. According to his Wiki page, Tauren has been in the music industry for more than 15 years. The song i am currently in love with Hills and Valleys peaked at number 3 in the charts in 2017. The song speaks to me with where i am at in my walk with Christ. I have been through the highs and the lows of life and i recognize that in it all, Jesus has been with me the whole time. Such a beautiful song that is beautifully wrttien and speaks to the heart. I hope you enjoy. God Bless – PJSLB.
I’ve walked among the shadows
You wiped my tears away
And I’ve felt the pain of heartbreak
And I’ve seen the brighter days
And I’ve prayed prayers to Heaven
From my lowest place
And I have held Your blessings
God, You give and take away
No matter what I have, Your grace is enough
No matter where I am, I’m standing in Your love
On the mountains, I will bow my life
To the One who set me there
In the valley, I will lift my eyes
To the One who sees me there
When I’m standing on the mountain
I didn’t get there on my own
When I’m walking through the valley
I know I am not alone
You’re God of the hills and valleys
Hills and valleys
God of the hills and valleys
And I am not alone
I’ve watched my dreams get broken
In You, I hope again
No matter what I know
I’m safe inside Your hands
On the mountains, I will bow my life
To the One who set me there (to the One who set me there)
In the valley, I will lift my eyes
To the One who sees me there
When I’m standing on the mountain
I didn’t get there on my own
When I’m walking through the valley
I know I am not alone
You’re God of the hills and valleys
Hills and valleys
God of the hills and valleys
And I am not alone
Father, You give and take away
Every joy and every pain
Through it all, You will remain
Over it all
Father, You give and take away
Every joy and every pain
Through it all, You will remain
Over it all
On the mountains, I will bow my life, yeah
In the valley, I will lift my eyes, yeah
On the mountains, I will bow my life
To the One who set me there (to the One who set me there)
In the valley, I will lift my eyes
To the One who sees me there
When I’m standing on the mountain
I didn’t get there on my own
When I’m walking through the valley
I know I am not alone (I’m not alone)
You’re God of the hills and valleys (yeah)
Hills and valleys
God of the hills and valleys (You’re the God of the hills)
And I am not alone
You’re God of the hills and valleys (yeah)
Hills and valleys
God of the hills and valleys (You’re the God of the hills)
And I am not alone (God of the valleys)
And I will choose to say
Blessed be Your Name
And I am not alone
