Thanksgiving & Praise

With Thanksgiving a day away, we need to stop for a moment to take a look at what we’re thankful for.   The next few weeks will be full of spending time with family, friends, and those we love. Whether it be time spent talking in person, texting each other, or on the phone because of the approaching holidays or just catching up on the years events that were missed from not seeing each other for a while. We need to take a moment, from the hustle and bustle, to reflect and seek God.   We should be thankful every day, no matter what things may lie ahead for that day, God needs to be thanked. There is so much going on in our great country right now that sometimes we lose sight of what there is to be thankful for. Why should we thank God, you may ask, or why should we even praise Him when times are so tough?   We can't give the gifts this Christmas that we would like to.   Well, I can't think of a time that this is more needed! God inhabits the praises of His people...

Prayer Requests!

Today, I feel a tugging at my heart that a lot of people need prayer and haven't been asking for it. I do pray everyday, however this will be a special time set aside for only these requests during my evening prayer time.  So, I'm asking for anyone who would like prayer to notify me through email: lltcteam2019@gmail.com or Facebook message, the ministry site: www.lovinglifethroughchrist.org, or you can even leave a comment on this blog.  Also, if you have any Praise Reports you may send them as well. 2 Chronicles 7:14   (NKJV) 14  if My people who are  called by My name will  humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways,  then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. God Bless You throughout the rest of the year!  Looking forward to a great and prosperous New Year in 2020!  Pastor Jean Marie

Prayer for Overcoming Fear

2 Timothy 1:7   (NKJV) 7  For  God has not given us a spirit of fear,  but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Father God- I come before You this day to offer to you all the fears I have in my life.  I ask that you take these burdens from me so I may walk in Your righteousness, dear Father.   I come before Your throne humbly under Your mighty hand, casting all my cares upon You, for I know that You will care for me! (1 Peter 5:6-7)   I command  that all fear and anxieties be gone from me, in Jesus name, for Satan has no power over my mind or my body!  I am a child of the Living God, an overcomer, and a mighty servant of the Lord!  There is NO EVIL that shall befall me, in the name of Jesus! (Psalm 91 protection scripture). Thank You Lord for making me Your righteousness through Your Son, Jesus!  I praise You for all Your work that, Lord, You have done for me.  In You I will trust and always find m...

Faith Prayer

Faith Prayer Heavenly Father- I repent this day for all my wrong doings and ask You, Lord for forgiveness this day.  I ask that You bestow upon me the faith I need to be closer to You.  I, also, ask for the words that Jesus spoke in Matthew 17:20, for those words to manifest in my life, to be the kind of faith that can move mountains. I claim all knowledge and understanding of Your word, for I know that what it says is truth!  Open my eyes that I may see the path you have before me and open my ears that I may hear what you are trying to speak to me.  Teach me to trust with Your wisdom of what You, Lord, are showing me to do with my life.  Let me learn to let go and let God.  Help me to believe that You have chosen the best path You would have for me to go.  Thank you so much for what You have done in my life and what You are about to continue to do in my life.  Let others see in me, who You truly are, so that they may experience the freedo...

Thanking God

Sometimes in the hustle and bustle of life we tend to forget that we need to not only ask God to answer our prayers, but we need to Thank God for answering our prayers.  God has shown me through the years that it is just as important to thank and praise Him, as it is to come before Him with our needs and wants.  Why do we just assume He owes us answered prayers and not thank Him?  Isn't He worthy of our praise and thanksgiving?  After all He sent His only Son, Jesus to die for us.  It puzzles me as to how many Christians forget how important this is, and how many churches don't teach this anymore.  When you give someone a gift, don't you expect at least a thank you for that gift?  So, why do we hesitate in thanking our Father in Heaven for all He's done in our life? If you have noticed on this prayer blog the first statement I make in my prayers is a thank you to God, it is usually my ending statement in a prayer as well.  This solidifies my res...

June / July 2019

Sorry that I haven't posted for a while.  There's been a lot going on in my family that had to have some attention the past couple of months.  I praise the Lord for all He has been doing and truly have nothing but praise to offer Him.  The amazing challenges and obstacles He has turned into something good and blessed us mentally, spiritually, and most of all physically in our time of need, which is way more than what we could've asked for.  God is truly good all the time! One thing that I've learned the most throughout this 2019 Spring/Summer is that we need not to worry about one single thing for God is in control if you learn to Surrender all that you are and have to Him and Him alone.  God has turned sorrow into joy and failures into success, just by giving it all to Him.  Who knows better than our Father in Heaven as to what needs we have that bring us grief, anxiety, and worries.   1 Peter 5:6-7 (NKJV) 6  Therefore humble yourselves...

Confession for the Elderly in Prayer

Prayer for the Elderly By Jean-Marie Heavenly Father- As I go into my elderly years, I ask for Your strength and mercy to assist me with my physical, mental and spiritual health.   Your promise abounds in me and I thank You every day for it.   For You have said to me in Your word that:   Even to  your  old age, I  am  He, And  even  to gray hairs I will carry  you! I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry and will deliver  you. (Isaiah 46:4)  I proclaim this, Your promise that was made upon my life in the name of Jesus! Now also when I am old and gray headed, Oh, God, don’t forsake me, until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to everyone who is to come. (Psalm 71:18) Thank You, Lord for Your almighty wisdom and power that sustains me in my walk with You, which will go until the very end of my life here. I praise You for granting me Your wisdom in my life.   You...

Evening Prayer

Father, I ask for your forgiveness this day for being judgmental of others and pointing fingers at my fellow man. Father, I ask in Jesus' name that you will help me to be a witness this week for every person that I come into contact with and all those who are in need of love. That you will show me those who need You in their lives and need hope. I know that only you can bring the salvation through your grace and I pray that, Your will be done, Heavenly Father. Thank you for all that you continue to do in my life and thank you for all that you are doing for our country. Be my strength this week, I pray. In Christ's Holy Name, Amen Romans 13:8-10 8 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. 9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other com...
