PRAYING POINTS ... one of those days!


All of us have those kind of days that we would label as "one of those days!" You know the kind of day I am talking about ... traffic jams, sick kids and the dog gobbles your homework! Many times we find ourselves overtaken by the minor frustrations of life - when this happens we need to take a deep breath and lift our thoughts upward.

Even though while here on earth, we will have struggles, we do not need to struggle alone. God is with us and He is within our reach...all we have to do is reach out to Him.

"Should we accept only good from God and not adversity?" - JOB 2:10

CHARLES SWINDOLL said this..."When you accept the fact that sometimes seasons are dry and times are hard and that God is in control of both, you will discover a sense of divine refuge because the hope then is in God and not in yourself."

When you find yourself having "one of those days" - reach out and touch the One who is with us thru the good and the bad.

PRAYING POINTS...take my hand!

Are the every day demands of life threatening to overwhelm you? It is so easy to feel like we are one against the world. When jobs are being lost, kids are sick with the flu, the bills are mounting up, the car needs new tires and the teacher calls and says Johnny is failing math ... what else is there to do but feel alone and beaten up!

God has made a promise to us that He would never leave us nor forsake us. It is during these times of distress that we must not rely upon our own resources, but we must depend upon the promises of God to be true. God is a never-ending source of support and courage for those who will call upon Him.

When we are weary ... He is our strength!
When we are hopeless ... He renews our hope!
When we are sorrowful ... He wipes each tear!

God will hold our hand during such trying times ... all we need to do is reach out and touch Him!

ISAIAH 41:13 "For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand and say to you: Do not fear, I will help you."

PRAYING POINTS...praying for others

Praying with someone that you love has such an immediate, strong emotional effect on us. However, prayer is so much more than just an emotional experience. As we begin to pray for our loved ones, what we are doing is inviting God to act in their lives and to move in their circumstances. Praying on their behalf is unleashing the power of God to protect and provide for them, and to nurture, guide and bless them.

I cannot think of a more meaningful thing that I could do for the people that I cherish.

Proverbs 15:8 says "The Lord delights in the prayers of the upright." Now that is a powerful scripture that will propel us towards godliness. When we realize that our conduct affects the way God hears our prayers for not only ourselves, but for our spouse and for our children, we will begin to realize that our sinful nature and unbelief can very well affect others.

I am thankful that Jesus offers His righteousness in exchange for my imperfection. And when we accept him, our prayers become music to His ears!

PRAYER POINTS ... like a pack of animals

Earlier this week I found my family to be in danger. Something tragic happened and I couldn't help but feel like a momma in a pack of animals. As I got thinking about a pack of animals I realized that they do everything together.

They hunt together.
They run together.
They survive together.
and most importantly they stick together!

Think about this...when just one in the pack feels endangered or threatened, the rest of the pack gathers around that one and protects it. I haven't really ever thought about my own family like a "pack of animals" before, but I certainly think that when one of us is in danger or hurting, we need to surround them and protect them, just like a pack of animals does. We must pick up the slack when just one of the "pack" is down.

This week, in my family pack, we had two of our own get wounded. They were wounded deeply. It is up to the rest of us to come alongside them and encourage them and bring comfort to them. We cannot leave one of our own to be left outside of the "pack" to defend for themselves while they are injured and wounded.

The Psalmist said, "Even though I go through the darkest valley. I fear no danger, for You are with me."

May we continue to remember the ones that are hurting that are in our "pack". Whether in our immediate family or our church family, we all hurt when just one hurts. Let's keep the "pack" strong and stick together!

PRAYING POINTS....beep ~ beep...incoming message!

Today there are so many ways for us to communicate with one another. We have cell phones, texting on our phones, email, facebook, myspace, and we even have the old fashion way .... snail mail!

It is pretty easy to get in touch with someone these days. I wonder though, how easy is it for God to reach us? Does He have an easy or a hard time getting our attention?

Are you listening for His call?
~When you are reading His Word....are you listening?
~When you are driving in the car with the radio off, in silence...are you listening?
~When you are sitting in your weekly Bible Study...are you listening?
~While you are spending time in prayer...are you listening or just talking?

Noah was a man who had good listening skills. He listened closely to God when he was instructed how to prepare for a flood. I wonder how attentive we are listening to hear God's voice.



When we slow down, be still and listen .... we are able to hear His incoming call much more clearer!

PRAYING POINTS...God comes down


When my husband and I went to London a few years ago, we visited the Royal Palace. It was quite interesting to stand in front of the place that many times we have seen on television...the balcony where the Queen has stood and waved to the people.

Members of a royal family rarely mingle with the common folk. Usually they wave from a balcony from a palace, rarely would you find them on stage in the middle of the mall or stopping in to have a cup of coffee to chit chat.

If royalty is guarded in that way, then how can we ask the King of our world, to come down from heaven and work in us? Funny thing about that... that is exactly what the King of Kings desires, for us to ask Him to come. What happens when God comes down?

hearts warm up
minds are changed
attitudes become passionate
His Word is held like a treasure

PSALM 113:5,6 "Who can be compared with the Lord our God, Who is enthroned on high? He stoops to look down on heaven and on earth."

God responds to heartfelt, passionate prayers that seek Him to make His presence known in new ways in our lives. He is waiting for us to ask Him to come and fill us with His power in a fresh way.

He is waiting to walk among us ... won't you ask Him today?

PRAYING POINTS ...sleepless nights

SLEEPLESS NIGHTS. I just hate it when I toss and turn at night. Instead of going to sleep, I lay in the bed thinking I need to get up and then in the morning when it is time to get up, I just want to lay there awhile longer.

It is just miserable when you have a night or two like this. Many times when I have sleepless nights, it is because I am heavy laden with something. My heart is full. My joy has been shaken. My worry tank is full.

When the Bible speaks about "joy unspeakable" - how much joy is that? 1 PETER 1:8 says: "joy unspeakable and full of glory." or in other words, so much joy that we don't even know how to talk about it.

Being in God's presence is definitely the way to receive His joy ... now wouldn't it be better to be sleepless at night because we are so full of His joy?

Next time you find yourself restless at night, begin to worship Him and see if your spirit will not become full and your mind at peace.
