Hello 😘 I am praying for you.

Hello, It’s been five months since I sat and penned a prayer. Five beautiful months of study and summertime. I’ll tell you a bit about that study soon enough. First let me simply say, I prayed for you today.

This morning, before engaging in a fresh fall that sits before us, I prayed over my email subscriber list. How precious that was! To see names of familiar faces and unknown sisters, childhood friends and next door neighbors, girls I haven’t seen in years and girls I saw yesterday, known and unknown prayer requests – How full is my heart!

I pray God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ will bless you with all spiritual blessings this day. That He will fill you with the fullness of His wisdom and knowledge. That He will walk with you throughout your day in both grace and peace. I pray you will feel the presence of His Holy Spirit in you today. I pray His strength -to overcome whatever you are facing right now- will be the joy on your heart today.

Sweet friend, I pray you will boldly share that prayer on your heart with a friend today. Don’t walk alone in the weight that presses within your soul. There is a promised rest when we allow another person to carry our prayer to God in the name of Jesus Christ.

And that praise that causes your whole face to light up, share that with another today! May the joy upon your heart uplift and strengthen your friend today.

Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him (Peter), saying to him, “O you of little faith, why do you doubt?” And when they (Jesus & Peter) got into the boat, the wind ceased. And those in the boat worshipped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” –Matthew 14:31-33

Prayers and Praises happen in the midst! Be present. Pray. Praise!

Covering you in prayer,

Jaclyn

A Morning Praise for the Love of Jesus

Jesus,

You are good. All morning I have been anxious to come to your feet to simply tell you exactly that. It’s funny because my heart has been expressing this truth to you throughout my morning, but there’s something grand about sitting at your feet telling you {in word} how good you are.

You are so faithful. You are mine. You wake me in the morning and whisper truth upon my heart. Lord, what a precious way to wake up. You sing over me as I kickstart my day with my little routine. All the while I hear your worship flood my soul. I postpone my time with you due to “this or that” and you join me in the This and in the That. Reminding me always that you are with me. You are here. You are in the mundane and in the schedule and in the busy and in the calm. Oh, how ever faithful you are! Oh, that you are mine!

You are my Father and I love your faithful love, your strong arms.

You are my God and I love your voice, your words, your truth.

You are my Lord and I cling to your law; I desire to behold your beauty and to obey your commandments of love.

Jesus, that Your love over me will pour out of me. I pray I will not be selfish with your love. I pray I will not be “choosy” with your love. Jesus, I pray your love will fall back at your feet – with all my heart and with all my soul and with all my mind.

Father, what a big command given to us by our Savior! Oh, that my heart, my soul, and my mind will comprehend the beauty of this command!

And, Jesus, I pray your love will lift up the brother and the sister I get to do life with today. Go before my day. Set my heart to speak your words upon them. And open my ears to receive your love from them.

You have given us a family in God. Thank you for this sweet gift of opportune love!

Jesus,

You, my precious Lord, are good.

Amen

*Matthew 22:36-40 💞

How to Fast

- JaclynPalmer Leave a comment

Last week, I wrote a post on Praying Deeper for Your Country. The post encouraged my readers to spend time in prayer and fasting for the country they love so dearly. The day in which we live needs the prayer and fasting of God’s people. Our world is facing a newness that is dark and deeply stifling. Heartaches and regulations and oppression and slavery are occurring throughout our world, nation to nation.

We need to pray.

We need to fast.

The question then arose, How?

The answer to How do I fast is simple.

1. Choose a day.

2. Choose a meal.

3. Choose a place.

Let’s say you chose Friday, breakfast, and your favorite reading chair. Which means, every Friday when hunger strikes or when the Lord whispers Pray upon your heart, you get on your knees beside your favorite reading chair and you pray for the matter on your heart. Every time. Repeat this intentional act of prayer each time hunger hits throughout your breakfast hours. Pray intentionally.

Fast for a set purpose and for a set period of time.

I feel compelled to say this…

Upon reading this email/blog post, dedicate the next hour to fasting for your country. Start right now. 🙂 Now is the moment to begin. And to begin with one hour.

Imagine if each of us purpose to dedicate one hour to fasting how quickly each day would be covered in united prayer and fasting? Imagine the power of prayer! Picture the mountains of dark deception being moved by the mighty hand of God!

We get to pray.

We get to fast.

We are the conduits the Holy Spirit desires to use. We are the only part of creation that has full access to the Throne of God. We are called and equipped and blessed with the ability to pray. Oh, that we will pray! That we will fast!

Our land needs us. Our freedom needs us. Our children need us. Our economy needs us. Our future needs us. Our present day in which we are living in today needs us to do our part in fighting for purity and holiness and freedom.

Our part as a child of God is to pray on our knees before the very One who loves us and gave His Son to die for us.

Prayer sister, in the name of our Resurrected Savior Jesus Christ, I ask you to join me in prayer and fasting … now.

Matthew 17:14-21,

Jaclyn
