All week long, the Lord has been waking me up early each morning with a new song and I can so richly feel His presence through every melody. As I type this blog post, there's an old song ringing in my heart that says,
"He touched me. Jesus touched me. And oh what joy floods my soul. Something happened and now I know, He touched me and made me whole."
Whether you're familiar with that song or not, you can surely draw strength from knowing that, all it takes is just one touch from the Master. Despite the obstacles, odds, or struggles you might be facing, God sees and knows. Above all, He cares and is faithful enough to intervene in your situation when you ask Him.
It doesn't matter if you need a physical, spiritual, mental, or emotional manifestation of God's hand of deliverance in your life. In fact, you may desperately need His touch in all these areas. All you have to do is go to God in faith, believing without a doubt that, He's more than able to do whatever it is we need Him to do in our lives.
What I love about God is the loving kindness and tender mercy He shows toward us. We serve a faithful God! Today, with an attitude of faith and great expectation, I want you to join me in praying for these women on our Thoughtful Thursdays list. This is the time when we intercede on behalf of someone else.
1.Today, we're praying for a woman named Melinda who has an unsaved spouse. She wants to be able to experience all the beauty and richness of love inside their union, without all the issues and struggles, but doesn't know how. We're asking God to open up Melinda's understanding and show her how to manage her relationship according to His will.
2.We're also seeking God on behalf of a woman named Pamela. She and her husband are entering the pastorate and need God's anointing, guidance and covering as they obey His call. We're petitioning God for wisdom and favor as they take on this new Kingdom assignment, and that no weapon formed against them shall prosper. May the peace of God rest, rule and abide in their hearts as they yield themselves.
3. I need you to join me in praying for a young woman named Dee with an urgent request. Unfortunately, she made a bad personal choice in her life (The details will remain confidential). As a result, the enemy has taken occasion to torment her with guilt and fear, to the point where she feels like she's about to lose her mind. But we come against that right now in the name of Jesus. We're also praying that God would stretch out His hand, give her a total and complete deliverance, and let Dee know that everything is gonna be alright.
4. We're praying for a woman named Tonya who is a recovering drug addict. She's been clean for two years now, but due to the stresses of life, she has been struggling with an intense and persistent desire to "use" once again. But, we know that God is able to give supernatural strength. So, right now, we ask that the power of the Holy Spirit would minister to Tonya right where she is.
5. Finally, we're interceding for a woman named Marjorie who is being attacked in her body. She was recently released from the hospital, but is yet experiencing severe symptoms. Although she and her doctors don't quite know or understand what's causing these symptoms, we serve an Omniscient God. There is nothing hidden from Him. We're praying that the Lord would stretch out His mighty hand of healing right now.
