Dear Hearts, this is week 1 of the “Fridays Are For Faith ‘n Friends” blog hop! Yayyy!!! So, every Friday I pray that you’ll join me here for prayer, love, and encouragement. I may not be writing a message every Friday, but I will have a focal passage of Scripture in which I will be meditating on as I write a prayer to encourage your hearts. I will also be available to pray with or for you throughout the day and you can contact me for prayer anytime by clicking here. Also, each week I will share with you my favorite post from the previous week’s link-up. … So, link-up, be encouraged, and spread the love!
(Psalm 63:2-4 MSG – So here I am in the place of worship, eyes open, drinking in Your strength and glory. In Your generous love I am really living at last! My lips brim praises like fountains. I bless You every time I take a breath; my arms wave like banners of praise to You.)
Lord, we worship You and we praise Your name for You are God and there is none like You. You are worthy and we give You all of the glory. Abba, I come to You this morning on behalf of every heart reading this and I ask and pray that as we honor You and enter into that secret place of worship to revel and bask in the power and beauty that is Your Presence that You would fill us to overflow with Your love, peace, and joy. As we drink from the holy cup that is Your Spirit may our spirits be filled with Your power, strength, grace, and glory. Father, as we seek You, empower us to truly live: standing on Your Word, continually breathing in fresh winds of Your Holy and perfect Spirit, trusting in Your Will, walking in Your purpose, believing in Your promises to us, and resting in the sacrifice that Christ made on the cross for us to have the freedom of living in such beautiful and powerful truths. Abba, I ask that You would simply be God in our lives like only You can be. We love You. In the name of Jesus Christ, Your precious Son, and our Lord and Savior— I pray, Amen and so be it.
Happy Friday! I love you guys!
Believe, Be Beautiful, Be Brilliant, and Be Blessed! 🙂

Hi, Ruthie! You are most welcome and thank you so much for your blessings and prayers! I truly appreciate it! I’d be honored to have you link-up with me every Friday! And actually, Deb Wolf is the one who started Faith n’ Friends. It was all her idea. When she asked me to write for “Faith ‘n Friends”, I accepted and then she started a blog hop for all of the Writers. I am just a co-host. … So great to have you visit with me today, beautiful friend! Infinite blessings to you, Love! 🙂
