Healing Prayer

Short but sweet today...I just have to say that I LOVE the times when God draws me into prayer and I have no clue what I'm supposed to pray for, but as I'm just open to follow His leading He ultimately guides me into a revelation of TRUTH from His Word that sets me free, that breaks the chains over a certain area or hindrance in my life and brings healing! SO needed today. I really have no idea how He does it...only that it leaves me speechless in awe and gratitude every time, the way His truth penetrates and speaks straight to my heart. When we will simply come to Him and fellowship with Him in prayer...it's so amazing what He will do. He always gives us exactly what we need exactly when we need it and His heart for us as His children is that above all we would always know who He is and who we are in and to Him. He delights to reveal it. :) He is so good it's unbelievable!!! All thanks and praise to my One and Only. :D

Thank You

Praise be to you, O LORD,
God of our father Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.
Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power
and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
for everything in heaven and on earth is yours.
Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom;
you are exalted as head over all.
Wealth and honor come from you;
you are the ruler of all things.
In your hands are strength and power
to exalt and give strength to all.
Now, our God, we give you thanks,
and praise your glorious name.

--1 Chronicles 29:11-13

Yes and Amen!!! This Thanksgiving day and every day He gives us is all about Him and for Him and for the praise of His glorious Name! It is to acknowledge, exalt, rejoice in and celebrate His greatness, His goodness, His glory, His righteousness, His holiness, His power, His majesty, His perfection, His beauty, His wonder, and His extravagant love!! To live and proclaim His Truth that brings life and freedom! Far above all the wonderful blessings He has graciously poured out and continues to pour out on my life (these are just too many to name; I could go on and on and on!) it's everything He is that continually overwhelms me with gratitude! His Word says that as we continue to live in Him we will be overflowing with thankfulness (Col. 2:6-7), and to know Him in this intimate way is to know with all we are that He is infinitely worthy of our constant praise and gratitude. For from Him and through Him and to Him are ALL things (Rom. 11:36)...He sustains ALL things by His powerful word (Heb. 1:3)...every good and perfect gift comes from Him (Jam. 1:17); apart from Him we have no good thing (Ps. 16:2).

So Lord, we give you thanks and praise in and for all things and acknowledge that it's only in You we live, move, and have our being (Acts 17:28). May the grace that is reaching more and more people cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of Your Name! (2 Cor. 4:15) Thank You for all You are, all You've done and all You will do according to Your promises. It is so beyond us...so once again we just stand in amazement and awe of You.

I absolutely love this song for today...perfect for singing our thanks and praise to Him! I took each line from the song and paired it with the first verses that came to my mind (there are many many more where these came from!)...just to meditate and dwell on these wonderful truths from His Word and allow thanksgiving and worship to overflow. :)

Thank You for Your kindness

But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.

Thank You for Your mercy

But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in trangressions - it is by grace you have been saved.

--Ephesians 2:4-5

Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy.

Thank You for the cross


For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

--Colossians 1:19-20

[Jesus], being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death - even death on a cross! 

--Philippians 2:5-8

Thank You for the price You paid

Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.

--Isaiah 53:4-5

For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.

--1 Peter 1:18-19

Thank You for salvation

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

--John 3:16-17

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast.

--Ephesians 2:8-9

Thank You for unending grace


But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

--Romans 5:20-21

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."

In him was life, and that life was the light of men.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

--John 10:10

--Psalm 16:11

Thank You for Your promise

His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

--2 Peter 1:3-4

My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life.

--Psalm 119:50

Thank You for Your favor

For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.


--Psalm 5:12


For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.

--Psalm 84:11

Sing to the LORD, you saints of his; praise his holy name. For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

--Psalm 30:4-5

Thank You for Your love


But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

--Romans 5:8

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!

--1 John 3:1

And everything You've done for me


You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever!

--Psalm 30:11-12

I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me in garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness.

--Isaiah 61:10

I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.

--Psalm 40:1-3

Great, Great God

No one is like you, O LORD; you are great, and your name is mighty in power.

--Jeremiah 10:6

Your cross gave life, hope and salvation
Full restoration, promise for all
Your grace has made us part of Your kingdom
Living in freedom as heirs with Your Son


Jesus, Your Name is a light
And now Your redemption draws into our lives
Strong in battle, You overcame
And the victory's ours


Now we sing
Great, great, there is no one like our God
Great, great there is no one like our God


Our walls fall down, strongholds are broken
Eternity's spoken, righteous we stand
The church will rise, declaring Your kingdom
Shouting for freedom, the blood of the Lamb



Jesus, Your Name is a light
And now Your redemption draws into our lives
Strong in battle, You overcame
And the victory's ours


Now we sing
Great, great, there is no one like our God
Great, great there is no one like our God



Your reign in all the earth
You reign victorious
Your power is limitless
There is no one like our God
