Words from the Lord during prayer and devotional journaling

recent posts

Hello! Welcome to my blog! I have recorded past journal entries from devotional journaling as well as nature and travel photos. It is my aim to pass on the encouragement of the Lord to other sisters in Christ.

    • Whole

      I hear the Lord say:
      Jesus makes you whole. You were once broken and incomplete. You tried to glue yourself back together but the pieces were chipped and uneven. You need to be restored by the Master’s hand. That’s Me! I can bring you the new mind and spirit that you desire. Many people want to ‘start over’, to start a new path that includes a healthy mind and body, to improve their weak areas, and remove areas in life where they struggle. I am here to tell you that renewal is a process where you align with Me and allow Holy Spirit to mend and mold. The transformation starts when you surrender yourself to Me. I know exactly what you need and can provide it in ample supply. I see you as a masterpiece, being sculpted and molded in My image. We are united in Christ. You are a whole person, unique and special to Me. Let Me take your weakness and make you strong. Allow Me to heal the hurts, restore what was broken, and bring hope to you today.

      He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3 NIV

    • Worthy

      I hear the Lord say:

      You recall the Scriptures “Worthy, Worthy is the Lamb.” You revere and honor Me and worship Jesus your Savior. I also call you ‘worthy.’ You are worthy as my daughter, my child, my special one, the apple of my eye. You are worthy of My love, My compassion, My grace, My forgiveness, My kindness, My gentleness, My power, and My spirit. You are beloved. You are loved beyond measure. I love you to the moon and back. I love you with a full heart, overflowing with devotion and care. I love you with fervor and might. You are worthy and I fight for you. Stand with Me and let’s overcome the noise and distraction of the world. Believe in yourself as I believe in you.

      “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.” Revelation 4:11 NIV

      This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 1 John 4:9 NIV

    • Gifts

      I hear the Lord say:

      My beloved daughter, I am so happy to be with you. I love spending time with you. I love how you desire My company. I abide in you and you abide in Me. You seek Me and want to align your thoughts with My thoughts. Be kind to yourself. I am not judging you or comparing you to another. You are walking this journey of life with Me and doing a great job. With each new day, you discover or re-discover a truth. Think of it as opening a present each morning. I have a gift for you each day, wrapped in love and tied with a bow of gentleness. I delight in watching you open My gifts each day. Joy is my gift to you today. Tomorrow there will be another gift. Treasure each gift and when you can, share it with others.

      And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:8 NIV

    • One of a Kind

      I hear the Lord say:

      You are one of a kind; a precious treasure and highly valued. You are not an ‘accident’ and you were not ‘unplanned.’ You arrived on earth exactly when you were supposed to. I knew you before you existed. I planned your arrival with joy and delight! You are my precious child and I delight in you! Each day is filled with promise. I am here to walk with you, to guide you, to inspire you, to reveal Myself to you. The desires of My heart are to be one with you as your heavenly Father, as your loving Savior, and as your Spirit guide. Identify your unique talents. See how I fashioned them to bless you and bless others. Look for new talents. There could be some hidden that are waiting to be revealed. I love to surprise you! Keep your sense of wonder. Follow your heart’s desire and see where I lead you. I can open doors and bring you new possibilities. Walk with Me. See how your path is full of wonder and delight!

      For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Psalm 139:13-16 NIV

    • He Cares

      I hear the Lord say:

      Remember this foundational truth: “I care for you.” You are reading verses on peace, on casting cares, on trusting. You see in I Peter 5:7 the directive to ‘throw your anxieties on Me, because I care about you.” This truth needs to be imprinted in your mind. The cares and chaos of this world will try to distract you and cause you to doubt this truth. My Word, the Holy Scriptures, stand as a testimony of My faithfulness through countless generations and proof of My love for you.

      I care for you, I care for you, I care for you, I care for you. Repeat it, say it aloud, write it down, rehearse it, and meditate on it until it becomes rooted in your soul. Etch it in your mind, so the events of today and tomorrow do not detract from the love, mercy and grace that is yours.

      Throw all your anxieties upon him, because he cares about you. I Peter 5:7 CJB

    • Peace

      I hear the Lord say:

      Peace is yours today and every day. Peace is available but often forsaken or overlooked. Peace can be overshadowed by current events. I would like you to consider my Shalom peace as a daily gift and a daily companion. Peace is not a result of calm surroundings or a stress-free life. Peace is a heart condition. When you truly abide with Me, trusting in and walking with Me, you will experience Shalom peace. It will require discipline, time and commitment. No good thing becomes a habit without practice. Reading Scripture, meditating on My truth and My promises, staying aligned with kingdom principles, seeking godly counsel, and connecting with other believers are part of living in surrender to divine peace. I desire you to be calm and content in all circumstances, trusting in Me, your source of light and truth.

      Now may the Lord of shalom himself give you shalom always in all ways. The Lord be with all of you. 2 Thessalonians 3:16 CJB

    • Jesus Makes a Way

      I hear the Lord say:

      “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” I am the way. I make a way. Your today and your tomorrow are safe in My hands. I am the Way-Maker. I carve out a path for you to follow. Stay on course with Me. I will guide you and provide for you along the way. I have everything you need. Do not fret or worry. Do not waver or doubt. I am the One who moves mountains on your behalf. My Goodness will lead you and will follow you. Trust in Me; hold on to My promises. Stand firm in who I am. My Word does not return void. I will accomplish everything I have set My hand to do. Abide in My lovingkindness. Walk in My peace and joy. Rejoice in your salvation!

      Commit your way to Adonai; trust in him, and he will act. Psalm 37:5 CJB
