Jesus is working on your behalf.

Jesus, You know what I am facing. And how it feels like way more than I can handle. I’m tired. I’m weary… yet THIS I call to mind, therefore I will have hope – because of Your great love for me, I am not consumed. Your mercy never ceases. You give strength to the weary {that’s me}, and increases the power of the weak. Because I have put my faith and trust in Jesus, and He lives in me, then I know that GREATER is HE who is in me than he who is in the world trying to discourage me and defeat me.
Today , I will not focus on my circumstances but, instead I will focus on YOU — Now to His who is able to do immeasurably more than I can even ask or imagine according to YOUR power that is at work in me. Jesus, I am choosing today to walk in the assurance of Your love and the security of Your promises as I face this giant. My confidence is in You and Your power that is at work in me! In Your Name, amen. {Lamentations 3:21-22, Isaiah 40:29, 1 John 4:4, Ephesians 3:20}

I’m praying God’s promises and asking HIM to do immeasurably more than I can think of or imagine in my relationship with my son and husband that we can lift one another up and be more edifying and less critical.
Lord I pray for Laurie’s son that is at a university six hours from home.! Give her comfort to know that ,although her son is rejecting you, you still wait with open arms to welcome him. Grant him grace as he finds his way to you. Provide people in his life that will be a positive influence and show him the love you have to offer and the forgiveness that is available to him. I ask this in your precious name. Amen.
I’m praying God’s promises and asking Him to do immeasurably more than I can think or imagine in my emotional health. I am struggling with anxiety. I need the peace of God to wash over me to help me to rest in His promises and be confident that He is in control and that I do not have to worry about my future.
Terri, I’m praying for your relationship with your son and your husband. I’m also praying for all the women who have posted today.
This is the verse I claimed for my son this fall as he left for a university six hours from home.! He is not walking with Jesus – he is rejecting the Savior that dearly adores him and offers him grace and hope and acceptance.
I pray for Debbra who is also getting ready to send her daughter off to college. I pray that you would generously give them discernment as to where she would “fit”. Give them clarity to see long term, not just the bells and whistles that you can become overwhelmed with on college tours. And Lord, steady their emotions as they anticipate saying a temporary goodbye and knowing that their relationship will change.
Father God; I pray that you will do immeasurably more than one could ask or imagine in Tammy’s circumstance. I pray You will strengthen her to care for her family’s many needs; I pray You grant her Your peace and Your joy when she looks ahead with hope to the future You have planned for her.
We are making college preparations and decisions for our senior daughter (and firstborn!). I ask prayer for discernment, clarity, and steady emotions. Thank you for your blessing of prayer!
And thank you, Renee, for providing opportunity for this sisterhood community to encourage and pray for one another. (Praying for you, too!) P.S. LOVE the graphic!
Lord, bless Kathy as she encourages and loves her friend through a rough time. Give her strength and help her know you are there.
I am asking for continued strength as I take care if my husband following a stroke, my daughter with cystic fibrosis and all the other daily tasks. I pray for peace regarding the future and our finances as well as the endurance to lovingly care for my family. God has carried me many times over the last 2 years, and need to continue knowing He is still there.
Joy is not the absence of suffering, but the presence of the Lord….. Give me joy!
I am praying for a dear friend of mine who is facing challenges at home and at work. She is discouraged and tired. I just hope her faith doesn`t fail her. She sure could use some hope and encouragement. She is also depressed and finding it hard to get out of bed. I just pray that I say and do the right things for her. I give this to my Lord and pray for his wisdom.
Diane, I am praying for you with empathy & understanding that you will have the courage to see yourself as our Heavenly Father & Creator sees you. May you find peace & strength as you re-discover & grasp that He loves you more than any man … and promises you a future & a hope. Praying that you will seek Him with all your heart … & rejoicing that He will be found by you. He is faithful to His Word.
Renee, I’m praying for sweet Aster’s developmental progression … & for you … as you navigate these years of wonder, uncertainty & blessing. Being called to this journey is a gift to be mined … praying for you with understanding & love. I’m *so* grateful for how you have blessed my life in this last week. <3
Today, I need extra strength as I parent my special children & work through a very turbulent time with an ill husband … and extra confidence to believe God over my circumstances.
Heavenly Father, I lift Shirley’s request for employment and financial needs to be met. God, I believe in the power of your Holy Spirit to do great and mighty things in Shirley’s life in these areas. As someone who experienced homelessness just a few short years ago, I can empathize with her worry; and God I know you do, even more. Lord, I can stand on the solid Rock with great confidence knowing that you will meet Shirley’s needs….you did for me and we all believe you will for her!! God, show your face to Shirley. Use this time as a way for her to grow stronger in you, when you perform these miracles of provision let her not forget how you provided; let her get on her knees and raiser her hands in thanksgiving to how you still perform miracles, usually in ways we would never expect. Lord, I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you’ll take care of Shirley, and I also ask that she feels/knows that confident assurance. Give her peace and faith like she’s never experienced. In Jesus Christ HOLY and provisional name,Amen.
I’m praying God’s promises and asking HIM to do immeasurably more than I can think of or imagine in letting go of a relationship. Unfortunately, I have fallen in love with a man that God has not intended for me to and I’ve fallen away from who I am as a believer in Christ. I’ve become comfortable in my sin and I need minute-by-minute strength to let go of him and get back on the path the Lord has set out for me.
I’m praying God’s promises and asking HIM to do immeasurably more than I can think of or imagine in finding a job soon, and keep a roof over my head. Right now Lord I’ve been out of work for the last few months with no income at all coming in. By your graces, you have seen me through so far. But Father God, I want a job so I can take this burden off my shoulder. My rent and bills are so behind. I’m at the risk of being evicted without a place to go. In the name of the Father, amen.
I also want to pray for Elise Daly Parker for her struggles with her weight. I too once had a weight problem and know that is hard. Just continue to pray to our Lord and he will see you through the tough times.
Dear Lord, I pray for Chris today. Would you please do more than she can ask or imagine according to your power that is at work in her. Lord would you give Chris a heart that forgives and is gracious and full of love toward her husband? Would you please Lord restore this marriage. Will you get this couple the help they need…give them the desire to love you, their families, each other. Lord we trust you to do immeasurably more than we are asking in Jesus’ name, Amen!
I need help with my weight struggle. I have lost over 30 pounds and was feeling so good. But I am slipping into old habits…eating non-nutritious foods, loading up the carbs, exercising less. I think it has to do with my feelings about my youngest daughter going off to college. I have feelings of grief, fear of loneliness and emptiness as this chapter of actively raising my kids closes. I have a wonderful husband and work that is fulfilling. But facing the end of this part of my life is painful. Stuffing emotions. I know better. But I am feeling powerless right now and need God’s help.
I am standing on these promises, that God will provide or guide me to a job to provide for my children, being a single mom is new to me to give me strength and wisdom to raise my children and to take care of my elderly parents , to forgive those that have hurt me and be forgive by those I have hurt. I thank you everyday for your unconditional love for me
I am praying these promises and asking God to do immeasurably more than I can think or imagine in my marriage. We have a blended family of 8 children, 4 of which are ours together and still at home. We have been married for 14 years but have struggled on and off for those 14 years. Right now we are in a very difficult time. There is a lot of tension, bitterness and anger. My husband completely shuts down and we don’t communicate. He’s very angry and I don’t know how to love him right now but divorce is absolutely not an option for we. I saw what the divorce from my 1st husband did to my 2 sons and I could not bear to put our 4 children through that. Pray that God would bring healing and he would help us to forgive each other and start to communicate better with each other.
Juana Silva I will be praying for your marriage as well. God will get us through this.
I am praying these promises and asking God to bless each and every one of you, that He fulfills all of your individual needs! Amen.
I am praying these promises and asking God to do immeasurably more than I can think of or imagine in granting me the promotion I am seeking and the refinancing of my home. I am so very grateful for His answering my prayers this past week as a loved one went through surgery and came out healed and whole! Amen.
Faith confession: say “God is pleased with me and His favor endures for a lifetime” (Psalm 30:5,AMP) Praying favor for all!
I am praying these promises and asking God to do immeasurably more than I can think of or imagine in heal and restore our dead marriage. My children and I believe that God is able to bring Daddy back home.
Juana pls read my blog called two banana trees of hope it is at helenyadav.wordpress.com (sorry don’t know how to do a link!) I think it will encourage your faith. It is what I am holding onto in marriage problems. X
I KNOW that as I pray through God’s promises he will bring my daughter back home and get her away from the boy and the trouble they seem to be in; she WILL be a renewed Christian.
I am also praying for you, Susan – remember YOU are “good enough” and God will see you through this.
Tammy believe that God has the control of your daughter’s life. The battle is his. God bless you and fill your heart with his abundantly love.
Also praying for DM, Wendy, Cheryl, and Laverne. Your messages popped up while I was slowly typing.
I signed up to do NaNoWriMo – Write a novel in a month. It starts November 1 and I am not able to do this alone. But I feel that God wants me to show women that we can be proactive leaders in our own lives. I say “we” because I am working towards this too. I have not written much fiction and I feel the plot I’ve thought up is not “good enough” and in any case, needs to be plumped up. I want to be a channel for what God wants me to say via this book. Prayers are much appreciated. PRAYING for you, DEENA! 🙂
I am praying God’s promises and asking him to do immeasurably more than I can think or ask for in the area of my daughter Destinee. She is on the autism spectrum and really struggling in school she has not made much progress in her academics and in the 6th grade but fuctioning on a 3rd grade level. she has sensory processing issues along with anxiety and now due to bulling in school the doctor said says that she has post tramatic stress disorder and she fears going to school. We are trusting God to have her moved to a new school that will address her academic needs as well anxiety and other issues. My God is able to do all things .
I am going to claim and pray these promises for my situation. My husband left (the first time) almost five years ago, and we were divorced. We were High School sweethearts and we were married for 29 years. I was completely devastated. He has lived a partying lifestyle, and when we were apart he was with another woman—one that I know of—and I can’t even describe the pain from knowing that he was with another woman. Then a year and a half ago he wanted to come back, and even though he had hurt me so badly, I began seeing him, and have been seeing him for a year and a half. He started coming to church with me and we were planning to re-marry. (We did try counseling, but he quit after the 3rd session, and said he will not go to counseling ever again.) Then 2 months ago, he said he wanted to take a break from seeing me. I don’t know what is going on, and I am completely hearbroken–again. I desperately want my marriage to be healed, but I don’t know if I should hold out any hope anymore, or if I should even pray anymore for my marriage to be healed, or if I am supposed to just let it go—but I am going to claim these promises. I’m asking God to do immeasurably more than I can think of or imagine in my ex-husband’s life. Please pray that he would surrender his life to Christ. Mom–I am praying for your son, that he will know and experience how much the Lord loves him, and that he will return to the Lord.
