Philippians 4:6-7 - "Your Love Defends Me"


Another Saturday night of praying for pastors. I wish God would wake me without me being in pain to do it. Whatever it takes, I am His obedient servant. Last night He had me pray for pastors to be bold with their sermons so people would not only hear what was said but come to the end of themselves in the process. He also had me pray for pastors who do not have altar calls at the end of the sermon to realize the importance of them. He then had me pray for pastors on the road being the love of Jesus to people all over this country instead of in their own church. He had me pray specifically for Dan Bohi and his team; Chad and Brooke Seabright; and Micheal Adams. He had me pray for Corey Jones and Rob McCorkle who have churches yet do so much traveling. I am sure I know of others but these were the ones He brought to my mind. He had me pray for not only them and their efforts but their families who sacrifice so much for the spread of the Gospel. He had me pray for their physical, mental, emotional, financial and most of all their spiritual beings to be strengthened.  I fell asleep and woke up an hour later to pray for my husband for physical strength. He told me he works so hard yet he needs to rely more on His strength and not his own. He needs to allow Him to work in His time in the current situation. As He had me praying, I also prayed for my husband to be open to these words of God. Once again I fell asleep and three hours later He woke me to pray for a pastor caught up in pornography. He had me pray for people who love Him to love on this pastor to break the chain of this addiction. He also had me pray for his family who need support from others. He then had me pray for a man who has been called to be a pastor yet allowed fear to stop him. The enemy got a foothold and his family is now torn apart. He had me pray for reconciliation between this man and Himself so there can be reconciliation with him and his wife. Another Saturday night of praying for pastors. I love the way He uses me. I do not always like the things revealed but I am grateful He trusts me to pray for people.

Dear Jesus,
Thank You for Your love, mercy and grace that enables me to be Your praying servant. Thank You for the way You provide strength in mighty ways. Thank You for the little girl who asked me what the Easter story was yesterday at the egg hunt. Thank You for Rhonda's servant heart that gives so much. Thank You for cleansing me again today so You can fill me. The desire of my heart is to be Your love in a human form. I pray Your words, actions, and attitude will ooze out of me today in a different, new way. Lord, I know You have heard the prayers of many for an unspoken situation I have. I pray You will bless those prayers and provide protection. I pray for Charlie and his family today as they wake up without Laura. May You be their soothing balm. Lord, I have no idea what is ahead in this day but I do know You have control and I am thankful for that. Thank You for being The One To Defend Me. Amen.
