Praying For You!

“as you pray at all times, with all kinds of prayers and request, in the Spirit, vigilantly and persistently, for all God’s people.”  Ephesians 6:18 (CJB)

Once, I asked my Mama to pray for me to achieve something that was very important. I asked her for help and walked away. I had perfect peace in my heart and mind that she would do it. I could trust her to pray. She prayed often, and it was not just at a particular time. She prayed while cleaning, cooking, and alone in her room. She was the picture of the Apostle Paul’s instructive words in Ephesians 6:18. The Apostle even asked the Ephesus Church to pray for him! We all need prayer! She was always praying for our Daddy and her nine children. Her prayers sustained me throughout my life.

Romans 8:26-27(CJB) says that the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we don’t know how to pray the way we should. But the Spirit himself pleads on our behalf with groanings too deep for words, and God who knows all hearts, know what the Holy Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s will. John 17 states that the Son of God, Jesus prayed for us! God promises to answer your prayer when you seek after Him!

He promised to listen to you when you call.  “When you call to me and pray to me, I will listen to you. When you seek me, you will find me, provided you seek me wholeheartedly; and I will let you find me, says  Adonai (LORD)!” Jeremiah 29: 12-13 (CJB)

It is very comforting to know that you are not praying alone. God’s providence is working every day to bring about the right people, at the right time so that you will received the right thing for you, according to His perfect will. In other words, hold on, wait, don’t give in or fallout; God is working it out for your good and His perfect plan for your life.

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, 
May it be Your will, O Lord our God, our King, that we become accustomed to walk in the way of Your Holy Word and to cling to Your precepts. Lead us not into sin or transgression and iniquity, or into temptation or disgrace; let not the impulse toward evil rule over us; keep us from evil men and worthless companions; and help us cling to the impulse toward good and to good deeds. Bend our will to Yours. Give us this day and every day grace, favor, and mercy - in Your sight and in the sight of all men, and bestow upon us Your loving kindness. Thank You Lord for storing  loving kindness upon me, my family, friends, and all your People. In Jesus’ Matchless and Wonderful Name, I ask. Amen!

By His Grace for our lives,
Patrícia McNair

Turning Your Pain into Power

Image
  "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore,  for the former things have passed away (R evelation 21:4 ESV)." T he journey of life has many twists and turns. There are times when a turn leads us to a place of pain. But, we have the ability to used that pain to catapult ourselves to the place of power. The loss of my younger sister was very painful. She unexpectedly died. I was hurt, cried for days, and thought my chest would burst open from the pain of her departure to be with Jesus.  Not only was she my sister, but my friend. Someone you couldn't help but love! She was loving, kind, compassionate, and caring.  I don't know a sweeter person than my sister, Janice (or JanBaby as our family referred to her).  She started singing at the age of three. You could feel the power of her love deep in your soul, down to your "bones", when she lifted her voice, and breathed o

The Reward of Persistent Prayer

    [Jeremiah 29:12-13 (CJB)]: "When you call to me and pray to me, I will listen to you. When you seek me, you will find me, provided you seek from me wholeheartedly;" Dear Ladies, I write this blog with you and the many prayers that you have prayed in mind. Luke 18:2-5] "In a certain town, there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected other people. There was also in that town a widow who kept coming to him and saying, 'Give me a judgment against the man who is trying to ruin me.' For a long time he refused; but after awhile, he said to himself, 'I don't fear God, and I don't respect other people; but because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see to it that she gets justice - otherwise, she'll keep coming and pestering me till she wears me out!"  God is not a cruel judge. When we persist in prayer, we are not pestering Him! Jesus told his disciple this parable, in order to impress on them that they   must always keep praying   a

God Doesn't Err and Trouble Doesn't Last Always

Your life has many winding roads and complicated stops.   Jesus said, "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world (John 16:33)." When you read the verse, your thought might be, "If Jesus has overcome the world, why does my world feels so broken?" In t he circle of life we have beginnings, endings, and everything in between.  The ebbs  and flows of life bring waters of both joy and pain. But, with God's guiding hands, it flows in a way that moves us upstream to a place of peace, blessings, rest and trust.  You may walk through the great darkness ravine, but you will get through it, because God's got you!    We are overcomers in mind, spirit and soul. Whatever you are going through, it too shall pass.  L ife may not be fair, but God is fair.  Psalm 56 , the psalmist declares to God, “ You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they
