Dear Father, May I?

- JaclynPalmer Leave a comment

Dear Father, may I seek your face this very moment.

May I boldly approach your throne. Cast down, knees bent. Prostrate before you now.

Not my will, Sweet Father, not my own.

May I whisper a name, a prayer upon my heart. May I call out a situation, a pressed moment in time. Written out, laid down. Open before you now.

Not my words, Sweet Father, not my own.

Jesus, you walked before me. Jesus, you set the course. Our Father who art in Heaven, proclaimed from your voice. Heard by your Father. Connected Three in One.

Sweet Jesus, cause me to follow.

You sought God’s face before the crowds. You cried to God in the quiet of the night. High or low, for you or for others. Conversation with God sat ready upon your tongue.

Sweet Jesus, allow me to follow.

As a friend, a wife, a mom. As a writer and for those with whom I serve. As a daughter, a loved one, Yours. Boldly, I have entrance because of Jesus who bled and rose again.

Thank you, Oh Jesus, I thank you.

Who am I to deserve such access? I am chosen. I am forgiven. I am clothed in Righteousness. You first loved me; therefore, I have access always to your throne.

Bless your name, Oh my God, bless Your Holy Name!

Who You Are ~ a proclamation to God

Who You Are ~ a proclamation to God

God, I am overcome with Who You Are. You are God. To truly think about who you are causes my heart to swell, my mind to swirl, and my tears to spill forth. For you are God.

God, you are the only God with a mouth that speaks life into existence. You have been faithfully speaking life from the moment you spoke light into the vast void of nothingness.

Today, You are still speaking life into existence. Father, this moment you are speaking life to the unborn. You are speaking life to lost souls. You are speaking life to religion bound hearts. You are speaking life to the brokenhearted. You are speaking life to creation. You are speaking life upon the hearts of missionaries, pastors, teachers, song writers, authors, speakers, parents and upon the mouth of babes. God, you are speaking life, eternally.

In all your speaking, you listen.

There are moments where I cannot comprehend your choice to claim Fatherhood upon all to whom you speak life.

God, Father God, I am a recipient of your choice.

You, Father God, created this concept of Family. Speaking life into individual lives, you then knit hearts together with a connective love that withstands the exhaustion of satan and flesh and the world that surrounds us.

Father, our hearts are full! Filled with your voice of life and your gift of love.

Thank you, God, for Who You Are.

You are God.

You are God who speaks life.

You are God who listens to us.

You are God who sees us.

You are God whose hand holds us.

You are God who walks with us.

You are God who chooses to be our Father.

You are God who forever and always loves us.

You are God.

You are loved by us.

Oh, how YOU are loved!

A Prayer for Strength

- JaclynPalmer Leave a comment

Sweet Heavenly Father,

Lord, I am on my knees seeking strength from you. I seek not just for myself but for so many friends etched on my heart, for those across our nation, and for Yours around Your beautifully created world.

Father, many of us are tired.

We are drained of our physical strength due to health and due to the fight that is happening, visible and invisible. We stand armed in your strength, then we fall before You weak and in need of Your strength yet again. Thank you for faithfully filling us when we need it. Thank you for holding us when we need that rest. Thank you for understanding our flesh and for giving us Your Spirit.

How spoiled we are by Your love!

Lord God, may I ask for Your Word to be imprinted on our minds right now. Lord, that the Truth, the Life, the Way that each of us need right now in our individual path will be imprinted on our minds. Father, that we will see, that we will hear, that we will breathe in the Word you speak over us right now.

Selah.

Wherever she may be, I pray your daughter will find rest and healing and strength in You and in Your grounded and most faithful Truth this very moment.

In the name of Jesus Christ, our Risen Savior, I pray these things over myself and over the sweet friend that is praying with me through these simple words.

Pour over us Your love, Your presence, Your strength!

1 John 4:8 slips so sweetly into my mind and causes my heart to skip a beat. Thank you, Lord God, for the concrete truth of Your love!

God, in light of 1 John 4:8, I do pray for the person that does not know Your love. I pray the knowledge of who You are will resonate within her. I pray she will grasp the love in which you freely gift her through the life and death of Your Son, Jesus Christ.

I pray her eyes will be opened to the power of Jesus Christ. That she will know and that she will believe that Jesus died on the cross for her sins, that He was buried in the grave, and that Jesus Christ rose again on the third day just as it was proclaimed in Scripture.

Father, I pray salvation upon her heart as she believes in Your Son and as she proclaims with her mouth that You alone are God, the very God who loves her so personally, so faithfully.

Friend, if you are hearing about Jesus for the first time today will you join me here. I would love to hear from you. ❤️
