Dear Hearts, I welcome you all to week 6 of the “Fridays Are For Faith ‘n Friends” blog hop! I’m honored to have you guys join me again today and I pray that you’ll join me here every Friday for prayer, love, and encouragement. As I explained in week 1, 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!
(Ephesians 2:10 VOICE- For we are the product of His hand, heaven’s poetry etched on lives, created in The Anointed, Jesus, to accomplish the good works God arranged long ago.)
This morning as I was meditating on today’s focal verse, I just felt in my spirit that I was supposed to remind you guys that your very being is heaven’s poetry. Meaning— your life is the beautiful artistry of God, Himself. Beloved, please take a moment to allow your heart and mind to be fully immersed in the beauty and power that lies within this truth. You are God’s best and His most beautiful and valued creation.
Abba, I come to You this morning on behalf of every being reading this and I ask that You would establish in their hearts and spirits how much You love and cherish them. Help them to see the incomparable value that You have placed over their lives as Your treasured sons and daughters. I ask that You would open their eyes and hearts to receive the holy plan of perfection that You have beautifully and intricately etched within the walls of their beating hearts. Lord, I pray that they would truly come to know You intimately that they may fully understand their worth and the phenomenal purpose in which You have created them for and called them to. Father, I ask that You would minister to their souls as only You can do. Abba, I love You and I thank You for Your extravagant love for us. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Your precious Son, and our Lord and Savior— I pray, Amen and so be it.
I love songs that express what I truly feel from the depths of my heart for The Lord, so the song below is another one of my faves to sing before Him in the mornings as I begin to enter His Presence to pray. The song says, “Your love is extravagant. Your friendship is intimate. I find I’m moving to the rhythms of Your grace. Your fragrance is intoxicating in our secret place.”. Beautiful lyrics to sing to our beautiful God.
Happy Friday! I love you guys!
Believe, Be Beautiful, Be Brilliant, and Be Blessed! 🙂

Tai, your beautiful prayer reminded me of one of my favorite worship songs. It goes something like this: “When You do what only You can do, it changes us. It changes what we see and what we seek.” I pray we see ourselves through His eyes and seek God above else. Thank you, friend, for sharing your heart at #IntentionalTuesday. : )
