Last night, after the service, a brother was praying over me. I had never met Ray before, though I’ve seen him and heard from others that he is a prayer warrior and intercessor. So I was excited to finally meet him. As he was praying over me, the Lord gave him this vision. He saw me as a […]

Father God,
We come to you as your children.
We need you now. We need to know we are loved.
We need to feel your embrace.
We need a sense of your faithfulness and steadfast love, though our experiences defy such a request.
We need your presence here with us now.
We need you.
As we draw near to you today, O […]
Have you ever had a conversation, or series of conversations, with someone that resulted in a decision? If, down the road, you began to second guess the validity of that decision, what would you do? You would initiate another conversation with that person to solidify and reaffirm your course of action.
Recently, after a good deal of prayer, […]
a brief prayer
Posted in Prayer on Feb 12th, 2008
Last night, after I read for a while, I turned out my light, laid my head on my pillow, and breathed this brief prayer, “Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul. I owe you…big time.”
I read Nehemiah this morning and was struck by the prayerful attitude of this man. The whole second half of chapter 1 is a prayer of confession and intercession. And then we jump to chapter 2 where Nehemiah is about to ask a pagan king for permission and provision to go rebuild the wall around […]
I need you, Jesus, more today
More than I ever have before.
My soul is pained, my faith poor.
I’ve wandered and I’ve gone astray.
I need you, Jesus, more right now,
More than I have in times past,
More each day than the last,
Grace and mercy, bestow and endow.
I need you, Jesus, more this instant,
More this very moment in time,
I […]
a prayer for the new year
Posted in Prayer on Jan 1st, 2008
Gracious Father,
Grant that we, this year, would press deeper into your heart.
In Jesus name.
I’m sure, by now, most of you have heard of the shootings in Colorado. Please continue to pray. I have a friend who is at that YWAM base. She and eight others were mere minutes away from returning to the base after a bowling outing when she received a call telling them to stay away because […]
My soul sings out
When my tongue is tied,
Whispers and shouts
Lie buried inside.
When I don’t know
What I should say,
The Spirit bestows
Prayers I can’t pray.
My soul sings out
When my tongue is tied,
Whispers and shouts
Lie buried inside.
Often I kneel in silence,
Amidst the warfare’s violence;
My soul is pained and weary,
My eyes, bloodshot and bleary,
And I yearn for your cheering presence.
But when […]
O soul of mine,
Do not refrain.
Press into the heart of your Redeemer.
And you will find
You will be changed,
Though others may laugh and call you a dreamer.
O heart of mine,
Do not deter,
Press into His heart, whatever it takes.
And you will find
You are astir
With passion for those for whom His heart breaks.
O spirit of mine,
Do […]
