Prayers of Encouragement

He is not ashamed of you

God sees you. He loves you. HE IS NOT ASHAMED of you.

Go to Him

God is greater than your depression.

He’s not scared of it, he’s not looking down on you for having it. He is willing and able to take it from you. He knows what it feels like to be alone and abandoned – this is what he dealt with on the cross. Go to Him.

Singing through the storm

Singing through the storm “life challenges are a hidden treasure.”

Pain=future blessings

Even though I am grieving, the clock is still ticking, that is why I keep living purposefully. 

James 1:2-3

Exodus 33:14

“Even when the fight seems lost, I’ll praise you. Even when it hurts like hell, I’ll praise you. Even when it makes no sense to sing, louder then I’ll sing your praise. I will only sing your praise.”

-Hillsong United (Even When It Hurts)

This song has helped me through hard times reminding me to look to God.

God's love can over shine the "why?"

We often find David asking God “why”? Why we, why now why this? And yet the very next thing David does is praise God for his love and faithfulness. Remember that God has a bigger plan for you. Things might really suck right now, but God is looking out for you. He loves you. He loves you in all your flaws and insecurities. He loves you with every fiber of your being. God’s love can overshine the “why?”

It helps us become what God wants!

Prayer does more than help us get what we want; it helps us become what God wants!

“And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is Spirit.”

(2 Corinthians 3:18)

Every inch of you was created out of his burning passion for you

Someone is longing for you. He is searching after you with a burning passion so deep that it is indescribable. The father is chasing you. He delights at the thought of you approaching his throne. He longs for nothing more than a relationship with you. His only desire is for you to be wrapped in his arms and in awe of His love for you. You have been made beautifully by the Father. Every inch of you was created out of his burning passion for you. You captivate his heart. You and you alone overwhelm the Father. You have been made beautiful by the King.

God's love for you is the same

4/19/15

The Lord’s love knows no bounds. It is unconditional. Whether you’re Barabas or Paul, God’s love for you is the same. Accept it. He loves you simply because you are – not because of anything you’ve done.

-loved by the King

There is a beautiful relationship awaiting you!

Abide in Jesus!

There is a beautiful relationship awaiting you! Focus on Him throughout your day. Think about Him as you would of any other friend or significant other. He wants to be close to you and love you. Let Him! Go spend time with Him. Go kick it with Jesus.

This is a new opportunity for you to grow

The Lord has new plans for you. You get a new beginning each and every day. Every sunrise is a new beginning. He has new growth for you. Don’t be discouraged when things don’t go your way. This is a new opportunity for you to grow.

He has nurtured and pruned you

2/19/17

My daughter,

“How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful!”

“You are altogether beautiful, my darling, there is no flaw in you.”

“How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride!?

(Song of Songs 4)

Sweet girl, you are a beautiful flower in the tender care of the Father. He has nurtured and pruned you to allow you to bloom. He uses the rain and storm to help you grow. You are perfect, loved and beautiful exactly the way you are. Flowers don’t compare themselves to the flowers next to them: they just bloom.

Enjoy and trust His tender care. You are priceless (heart).
