Are you facing something that’s more than you can handle on your own?

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}

Just what I needed to hear in this moment. I’m so grateful for the message you shared today!
I am praying God’s promise and asking him to do immeasurably more then I can think to imagine in the lives of my boys- jw, mr and al. They are in a confusing place right now questioning dating and sex and marriage. I pray that God speaks to them and shows them the way. And God, give me strength in leading them… I can’t do this alone. Help me know the right thing to say and when to say it. Help my boys to know that the ways of the world are not alway Your ways. Please speak to their hearts and help them to remain true to themselves and their families. Keep them pure and innocent. In Jesus name, Amen.
Thank you Jesus for mk. Lord please speak to the hearts of her boys. I pray they would passionately seek after You and purify their hearts. Show them the blessings of Your ways, the protection and joys you have for them in Your plan and Your ways. I know you are able to do immeasureably more than my prayers to You today in their lives.
Lord I also ask you to do immeasurably more than I ask or think regarding my healing, my family and our needs and hopes and dreams. Let Your will be done. Thank You Jesus! In Jesus Name.
I’m praying God’s promises and asking HIM to do immeasurably more than I can think of or imagine in my job. I always feel behind, like I will never catch up. I feel very inadequate when I miss deadlines due the projects that get dropped on me at the last minute. Am I feeling this way because God does not really want me in this job? I find myself wishing for another job where I can work with people one on one. I do not feel like what I do is making a difference. 🙁
I’m trusting God to show me a way that I can retire from my job, I have a desire to stay at home with my children and the time never seems to be right, worry and concern over finances always seems to come to mind, but If I would walk by faith and not by sight and actually make a move I know God will meet me there and He will supply all my needs. I’m trusting and believing that my exit plan from my job of 22.5 years is soon approching and I claim I will be financially set and not have to worry about my finances, this has been a prayer for years and years of mine, it was placed in my heart and it has to come to pass, and I believe it will in Jesus name.
I’m praying God’s promises and asking HIM to do immeasurably more than I can think of or imagine in our unborn baby’s life. He or she was a HUGE shock in our lives but a miracle from God above. I was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease and the doctor told me that it would be at least a year before we could try again due to my body healing itself through eating a gluten-free diet. I am overwhelmed with emotions because we are struggling financially and we already have an amazing 2 year old son who also was a miracle. He was born 4 weeks after my mother passed away suddenly in her sleep. Lord I need your love and strength right now as I live each day with this new life forming in my womb. God, I know there are no mistakes and that you have gone before me and planned out my life for me God. Transform my emotions from shock and fear to excitement and enjoyment of this new life my love and I have created through our love. I am so grateful for the life you’ve given to me and the paths I’ve chosen Lord for they have made the woman that I am today. You are my rock and my shield, my redeemer and my strong tower! I love thee Lord Oh I love thee!!! I ask audaciously in your son’s most gracious name, My Jesus, Amen!!!!
I am praying Jesus that you will intervene in the lives of Matthew 19 and Marc 17, my sons. They have left my home because of drugs and rebelliousness. Living with my ex husband who hates me and my family. I pray Jesus, you will go after their hearts and defeat the stronghold of addiction/rebelliousness in their lives. I know you are after them. Lord, I am broken hearted and need your strength and comfort. It’s more than I can handle and I know you will carry me.
I Love You Lord.
Lord Jesus, I lift up dmc and her sons Matthew and Marc to you, I stand in agreement with her prayers that you would rescue these young men with the power of your Love. Jesus set them free from the trap Satan has set for them through drugs, addiction, and anything that is keeping them from turning their hearts to you alone our Savoir and Redeemer. Jesus nothing is too difficult for you. In the power of Your Name and through healing blood You spilled out on our behalf, come to their rescue. Break the chains that bind them, thwart the enemies schemes, break them, boldly confront their sin and bring them to their knees before You where they can be made whole.
Father, God of all comfort, wrap your peace and comfort around this momma’s heart that is aching so deeply. You know her pain. Be her strength and her Shield. Be her refuge and her Fortress. You are her God – her Rock and Redeemer – Her strong Tower. She runs to you and she is safe. Calm her fears and help her trust You more than anything. In Jesus’ Name, amen!!
Help me Lord to believe with you for miracles in the area of my children, grandchildren, finances, and health. All of the above literally need miracles. But that is your challenge Lord.. I am facing utility shutoffs this week, with no provision capable from my own hands…my car engine blew last year and there has been no ability to replace it even with an older used car…. my children need healing from divorces, and my grandchildren need the same. After my eldest grandchild came home from a short term missions trip, all of the warfare of the other kingdom has come upon her and she needs your help to choose you and your ways. Please help her to make Godly choices… to leave the public school she is in and go back to homeschooling… to start surrounding herself with Godly friends again ..to know who she is in you Lord…. to deliver my grandson from the home of his evil father… please open up a Christian Ranch or program that will allow him to stay for a few months to re establish in his life the parameters of Godliness , love, and respect that will help him to become all of whom you created him to be… for a form of healing of my inoperable spinal tumors eating through my spine, and the heart probs, that will allow me to continue on in this life… for your purpose and Glory Lord!
JW~ God is with you in this struggle and will help you… He only needs your willing heart. He hears your prayers. He knows your heartache and burdens…He wants you to know you are complete in Him! I will ask Him to lift you up in our hearts whenever you need it.. which only He knows… Rest assured your family in Christ will be holding you up in prayer!

I am struggling with a drinking problem and I live in an area where work is scarce. I am greatful that my my sister emailed your 7 day devotional to me. It was God’s timing and has been a blessing. Praying for everyone to have faith. We are not alone. Thank-you Lord.
To give my anxiety of completing my CASA ( court appointed child advocate for abused & neglected children) training this week. Also to have faith that God will provide, if its his will, to raise enough money to go on a mission trip this coming feb to uganda.
dmb-God has given you this dream in your heart because he has given it to you. It is His will when he’s breathed it into your heart and soul. I want to encourage you to read one of the most amazing books I’ve ever read, Sun Stand Still by Steven Furtick. He teaches you to pray audaciously and stepping out of your comfort and making your God-Given dreams reality! I am praying as I type that you find this book and order it, that you will read it and that God will show you that this is your life-mission and that you own with all your heart and soul. God can never give too much you can’t handle and that He is ALWAYS with you. May the Lord continue to use you to further His Kingdom and to be a light to those who are in need. Know that God loves you and so do I for you are my sister in Christ.
I praying these promises for my marriage which has been broken from day 1(only by the grace and mercy of God I am still married and have been for 5 years now but far from wonderful years) and for healing and restoration within my marriage and my family. I am also praying for Sharon above. I know God is able and all things are possible with him.
After a marriage of 37 yrs I faced a devastating divorce. Everything was taken away from me and my son and we were basically thrown into the streets and 90% of the hidden debt my husband created, including attorneys fees was dumped on me. My son’s money was stolen as well and this was done to us by a man who was once the best father and husband. In order to survive I moved in with my sister and her husband and had to leave my son behind. My son has been laid off work and needs nothing short of a miracle as well. I am trusting the Lord for HIS provisions for both of us and more than we could ever hope or believe for — you ask why — because I know my God and my Savior and He loves us more than I can hope for and He is true to HIs word and Faithful, Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God is He. May He receive all the glory and honor in these broken vessels.
Thank you for your words of encouragement ! Sharon
Renee,
My husband and I are going through the Financial Peace University at church right now and I am overwhelmed with the process. Your email is right in line with how Lord has been speaking to me concerning this area of our lives. He has been encouraging me to believe and have faith even if my faith is only as big as a mustard seed!! Therefore, I too am, and will be praying these promises, believing and not doubting, that God has a plan, a purpose and a way through/over/moving this mountain!
I am praying this for every area of my life right now. I am in a Wilderness Experience right now. My sisters please keep me lifted in prayer.
Lakeeia,
I can completely appreciate where you are on your journey. Keep looking forward, there is an oasis up ahead!!
Lord, I pray that you will work in my daughters heart that you will open her eyes to see that we love her, and to have the desire to come back home to be with her family. I just ask that you will heal her heart from the trauma that she experienced and that our family will be filled with enough love, patience and kindess to help her heal and build strong positive relationships. Please keep her safe, and guide her in all decisions.
I’m praying God’s promises and asking HIM to do immeasurably more than I can think of or imagine in the lives and futures of those in my immediate family. He’s already done so much, and I trust that He will continue to show His faithfulness to my husband and my kids.
Chris-
I will be praying for your son’s situation as I pray over my own sons this week. God’s power is stronger than the toughest stronghold. May His peace be with your mama’s heart in this situation.
Renee-
Thanks for this post. I always love the short, sweet, let’s pray for each other blogs! 😉
Suzanne
Lord I want to raise Suzanne and her family up to you and pray that you continue to shower your strength and grace upon those around her. I pray that you surround her family with witnesses of your Word and that you give Suzanne the peace that passes all understanding and continue to shine your light in all of their lives. Thank you for what you have done and what you will do.
Lord, I pray for continued strength as my court date approaches. I pray that you can restore the communication and the loss between my daughter and myself due to the actions of her father and the misleading ideas put into her mind; I pray that the truth is revealed.
I’m praying God’s promises and asking HIM to do immeasurably more than I can think of or imagine in my Sons family situation. I’m standing on Gods written Word over the situations my Son is facing, I declare LORD YOU ARE THE FATHER OF THE FATHERLESS, NO WEAPON FORGED AGAINST HIM WILL PROSPER, WHAT IS MEANT FOR HARM LORD YOU WILL TURN AROUND FOR GOOD, EVERY MEMBER OF THIS HOUSEHOLD WILL SERVE THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, iSAIAH 65:25 Lord is Your Promise to me, Your Word and TRUTH Lord is my ALL. I leave it in Your hands and know in my heart Lord THY WILL WILL BE DONE Amen.
God’s abundant Blessings and Love always

Please grant them both your peace and comfort as they walk together with you through this Season. Remind us Lord often of your GREAT love care and concern over every aspect of our lives.

This is a very stressful time with lots of new task to learn, lack of training and a overwhelming feeling of stress to do so much with people leaving, going on vacatons etc to leave me alone to do a job i am not trained properly for. I need
your help Father to hang on. Please show me your will and calm my heart.

I am praying God’s promises and asking him to do immeasurable things for my son Jaylon. Release all frustration and anxiety from him Lord. Pleas Lord help my 8 yr old overcome his challenges of lack of self control, ADD, anxiety. Lord help the doctors to get his diagnosis correct.

Lord I ask all these in your name. Amen.
Hi, Renee and everyone here!
I am praying for you, your family and your awesome ministry of love and hope. This message came in my email at God’s appointed time. Have never been so tired and discouraged as I have this past week. Usually upbeat and hopeful in my daily life, but am experiencing such an attack from all sides!
I have been struggling with some dark thoughts as well, imposed on me by the enemy of our souls having to do with broken relationships the last 2 years plustrying to take care of my prevcious Mama on my own. I am a single woman who, too, has experienced broken relationships with young men I thought were believers, only to be hurt and heartbroken by their actions. I am a true, old fashioned Southern girl who still waits upon the Lord for that special man who won’t break my heart and trust again! I want to have my own family and let my mama see this happen in my life. I feel especially led to pray for Shauna and Karen here that the Holy Spirit will send His comfort and peace as we put one foot in front of the other some days! Please pray for me that my “heavy hands” and broken heart will soon be healed and that my mama receives a healing for memory issues and that she will be whole again and back ministering and loving on everyone she meets! The natural world says give up, but we serve a mighty supernatural God! He’s always on time!
I am praying for you CW, you are loved by God. May you hear His voice in you, helping you deal with those serious problems of being hurt by others.
I am requesting prayer about my resentment and anger issues that others get taken care of – and the anxiety I have that I won’t be taken care of. And that my dear son will walk with Jesus.
