What's the first thing you do when you or your child is struggling with something? Is it to pray?Prayer should be our first response, not our last resort.There is power in prayer.Stormie Omartian (stor·mee ow·maar·tee·uhn) writes this in her book The Power of a Praying Parent:“When we pray, we bring that power to bear upon everything we are praying about, and we allow the power of God to work through our powerlessness. When we pray, we are humbling ourselves before God and saying, “I need Your presence and Your power, Lord. I can't do this without You.” When we don't pray, it's like saying we have no need of anything outside of ourselves.” Let's be “first responders” when it comes to prayer.For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

Mentoring Week #11 How to pray for your children (CLICK HERE for info on mentoring)Welcome to this week's Mentoring Session! Tonight I will talk about how to pray for your children. If you do not have children, you can use these suggestions to pray for nieces and nephews. your friend's children, or all the children of the world. All children need our prayers. We can see how badly our own children or those close to us need prayers. Now, imagine they didn't have anyone praying for them. There are so many children out there who have no one praying for them. Tonight, I will start with our kids, or those close to us, because I know many of our hearts our heavy with worry for our children.First, let me begin by saying there is no right or wrong way to pray for your children. What I will be doing today is going over several things I have learned over the years while searching for various ways to pray for my boys. I have three boys who are 15, 18 & 19 right now. They are all stable compared to where they have been in the past, yet they could still all use prayers. I have learned over the years not to worry about them too much as I know God is looking out for them. This trust has come through growing closer to the Lord and also through counseling.I say counseling because sometimes you need someone else to point things out to you. When my boys were younger I would stress about their future. One of them was physically abusive towards family members and I would worry that would mean he would be an abusive husband and dad. I had another son that did many unsafe behaviors and I was worried he would accidentally kill himself.  You can see how that would be pretty stressful. I had a counselor who explained to me that it doesn't do any good to worry about the future because so much could happen between now and then.For instance, at the time, it would be at least seven years or more before my boys were adults. She said a lot can happen in those seven years. They could grow out of the behavior, get help for the behavior, or have someone come into their lives and change. Basically, why worry about something that may never happen? At the same time as I was learning this, I was also learning to trust the Lord more. When I let what my counselor was telling me really sink in and then I also realized God loves my boys more than I ever could imagine, I was finally able to release almost all the worry that I have for my children. It was truly freeing and I pray each of you listening learns how to turn your worry over to God and release it. If you want help, let me know.Now, just because I don't worry about my children's futures doesn't mean I am not praying for them. I am still praying for them and for the things I would like to see happen in their lives. Tony and I wrote a prayer for the boys about two years ago. We said it daily for a week or two, and then I said it on my own for a bit, and then we slowly forgot about it. I found the prayer the other day and looked through it to see if any of the things we prayed for had come true yet. Almost all of the prayers had been answered. We have seen many positive changes in the boys and many of them were listed in our prayer. I hope you can see the power of our prayers for our children. When we ask, God answers. So start asking specifically what you would like to see. I am a big believer in praying specifically because then God gets all the more glory. It is much easier to see when God has answered a specific prayer than a generic prayer. For instance, if you are praying for your kid's behavior to get better, what is the measurement of better? How will you know if it is better, especially if the improvement is there, but small and you are around it all day? How about if you prayed that your child would go a whole hour or a whole day without doing a certain behavior? Then would you notice if that prayer was answered? What about praying that your child would make a really good friend at school? Would you know when that prayer was answered? Do you get what I am saying? The more specific we are with our prayers, the more we will be able to praise God when He answers them.I also strongly believe that we should write down our prayer requests—not just those for our kids but those others have asked us to pray for as well. When we write down our prayers, we have a record of all the things we ask God for, and then, if we periodically go through the book we wrote them down in, we can see all the prayers He has answered for us. This is extremely helpful when we are going through a really hard time. When we are struggling, and it feels like God isn't answering any of our prayers, we can look through our book or prayers and see all the ones He has answered for us in the past. Hebrews 13:8 says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” If He did it before He will do it again.A few years ago, I started a notebook with prayer requests in it. When I write a prayer request in the book, I leave several blank lines before I write the next request. These blank lines are so that I can go and update the request with a praise report when it is answered. I also highlight all the requests that have been answered so I can go back and look at them whenever I need to be reminded that God answers prayers. I also look back when I am feeling down and need a little pick me up.Now that you know being specific in your prayers and writing down your prayer requests is important let's discuss specific prayer points.  (SLIDE) I read a book called The Power of a Praying Parent by Stormie Omartian. This book really opened my eyes to the various things we can pray for our children. She prayed very specifically, and for things, I had never thought of before. I would highly recommend this book. At the end of each chapter, she has a specific prayer written out for the subject of that chapter.  Here are the chapter titles so you can get an idea of what I am talking about.    Releasing my child into God's Hands, Securing Protection from Harm, Feeling Love and Protected, Establishing and Eternal Future, Honoring Parents and Resisting Rebellion, Maintaining Good Family Relationships. Attracting Godly Friends and Role Models, Developing a Hunger for the Things of God, Being the Person God Created, Following Truth & Rejecting Lies, Enjoying the Life of Health and Healing, Having the Motivation for Proper Body Care, Instilling the Desire to Learn, Identifying God-Given Gifts and Talents, Learning to Speak Life, Staying Attracted to Holiness and Purity, Praying through a Child's Room, Enjoying Freedom of Fear, Receiving a Sound Mind, Inviting the Joy of the Lord, Destroying an Inheritance of Family Bondage, Avoiding Alcohol, Drugs, and Other Addictions, Rejecting Sexual Immorality, Finding the Perfect Mate, Living Free of Unforgiveness, Walking in Repentance, Breaking Down Ungodly Strongholds, Seeking Wisdom and Discernment, Growing in Faith, Getting Through the Teenage Years Successfully and Praying for Your Adult Children.Did you hear any titles that took you by surprise? There were several that I would not ever have thought to pray about and yet when I did, I saw changes. One I can think of off the top of my head is the chapter on praying for my kids to have the motivation for proper body care. We had three teenage boys who weren't that fond of showering, and with all the other issues we had going on in our house, this was the least of my worries. Yet, I didn't want them to be the “smelly” kid in school. I wanted them to have friends, and that is difficult when you smell bad. Tony and I added this into our daily prayer for the boys for a bit and now they all take better care of their hygiene. I wouldn't say they are where I want them to be, but they are doing much better and I didn't have to nag them all the time. I just needed to pray for them.   What specific prayers can you start saying to see changes in your kids?Another suggestion I have received recently is to pray in my children's rooms after they go to school. I was told to go into their room and bless it and to bind any spirits that might be there. You have authority over all spirits that are in your house. All Spirits, good and evil, are bound by our free will. If we tell them to leave, they must obey. Your prayer can be as simple as Lord, I bless this room, and I bind any evil spirits that might be here, and I send them to the foot of the cross. However, there is a prayer in the book I mentioned a few minutes ago for praying in your child's room, and it is really good. You can part of it, or all of it depending on what fits for you.  It says,“Lord, I invite your Holy Spirit to dwell in this room, which belongs to (name of child). You are Lord over heaven and earth, and I proclaim that you are Lord over this room as well. Flood it with your light and life. Crowd out any darkness which seeks to impose itself here, and let no spirits of fear, depression, anger, doubt, anxiety, rebelliousness, or hatred (name anything you've seen manifested in your child's behavior) find any place here. I pray that nothing will come into this room that is not approved by you, Lord. If there is anything here that shouldn't be, show me it so it can be taken out. Put your complete protection over this room so the evil cannot enter here by any means. Fill this room with your love, peace, and joy. I pray that my child will say, as David did, "I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. I will set nothing wicked before my eyes" (Psalm 103:2 to 3"). I pray that you, Lord, will make this room a holy place sanctified for your glory. In Jesus's name, I pray.” I forgot all about this prayer, and yet I am definitely going to start saying it tomorrow when my boys get on the bus. Actually I will probably start today in the room of my oldest because he will be at work later today. Another suggestion was to fill a spray bottle with holy water and bless your whole house with it. We do this before each prayer group meeting. One of us walks through the hallway and the empty rooms of the building we are using, and we ask the Lord to bless the house. We bind any evil spirits that are hanging out and we send them the foot of the cross. We also ask the Lord to protect the space we are in and to prevent anything that is not of Him from entering while we are using that space. You can do this in your house, and you can do this in your children's homes if they are older and have their own place.You might be wondering why I am suggesting to bless your house with Holy Water.   Holy Water is a powerful spiritual armor in times of temptation.  St. Teresa of Avila, whose temptations were as terrible as anyone's, has left us these wise words of counsel:    “I have found by experience that there is nothing from which the devils fly more quickly than from Holy Water.  They also fly from the Cross, but they return almost immediately.  Certainly, the power of Holy Water must be great; for my part, my soul feels particular comfort in taking it, and very generally a refreshment and interior delight which I cannot express.”    Long before St. Teresa of Avila, Holy Water was a sacramental in the Catholic Church.  Water, which as a symbol of purification held a high place in biblical times, has retained its rich symbolism.According to the Apostolic Constitutions, a document dating back well over 15 centuries, the use of holy water is attributed to a recommendation issued by St. Matthew, the apostle and Evangelist. The lives of the saints are packed with instances of heavenly protection and blessing secured through the reverent use of holy water. If you want more information on holy water, just let me know. If you are interested in blessing your house with Holy Water, you can go into any Catholic Church and fill up your spray bottle or any bottle with it. It is free and there for all to use. The next suggestion that I just learned about, so I have not tried it yet, is to pray over our children's pillows. When you are blessing their room, spend a minute praying over their pillow. Pray that the Lord grants them good dreams, speaks to them in their dreams, and encounters them in their dreams. Pray that the Lord protects them from nightmares and any evil thoughts. (SLIDE)Another really important thing that the book talks about that I didn't even think of before is to pray for our children to follow the truth and reject the lies. The enemy is constantly speaking lies over our children. He is whispering in their ears that they are unloved, they are unwanted, they are not enough and so on. We need to pray that they will reject these lies. We need to pray that the Lord will protect their mind from believing these lies. We need to pray that the lies others tell them will not take root. We need to pray that the Lord will fill their mind with who they are in His eyes. We need to pray that the Lord will replace any lies they believe with His truth of who they really are. We also need to pray that they know how much God loves them. Everyone is searching for love these days, and I don't think it is any different for kids. We live in a broken world, so even if we have parents who love us, they aren't always great at showing it, and we aren't always great at accepting it. Kids feel more alone than ever these days; even though we live in a world where kids have constant contact with each other, they don't tend to have meaningful relationships with each other. Also, with all the constant contact that means those who are mean to you also have constant access to you. We need to pray that our kids can feel our love, but more importantly, we need to pray that they feel God's love. God's love is perfect. If they knew how much God loved them, they would have all the love they needed. We can pray that they know no matter what they do, God will always love them. We can pray that they know they don't have to do anything to earn His love; they already have it and will never lose it! Most of the things we have covered so far are geared more towards our younger children who are still living at our house. Now I would like to give you a few ideas of how we can pray for our adult children. I am just entering this stage, so I am new to this. My oldest is an adult, however, he is living at home with us. Many of the things I talked about earlier in this session apply to our adult children as well. Meaning that we can pray for them to know God's love; we can pray God protects their minds from the lies of the enemy and fills them with His truth.  You can spray Holy Water and bless their house if they say it is ok or if you are there when they are not home. However, there are some things you can pray over your adult children that you don't necessarily have to do for your young kids.For instance, you can pray over your children's marriages. You can pray that they are loving and caring spouses. You can pray they are faithful and help each other grow closer to the Lord. You can pray that the Lord is part of their marriage. You can pray for specific things that apply to your children. For instance, if your adult child has a bad temper, you can pray they learn to control their temper. You can pray that the Lord fills them with the peace of Christ. When you go over to their house to visit, before walking through the door, you can say a quick prayer imparting peace on them. Dear Lord, I impart peace on this house and all who are in it. If there is a lot of anger, frustration, and so on in this house, you could walk around the outside of the house and just impart peace on the house and all the land around it. God gave Adam dominion over all created things. This means you can pray for peace into their house; you can pray for peace into the soil around the house, and you can impart peace all around their house, inside and out.You can also pray for your adult children's jobs. Pray that they have a job they love, one that lights them up inside. Pray that they have a Godly boss and coworkers who encourage them on their faith journey. If they don't seem to be on any faith journey, pray that they encounter someone at their job who waters the seed you have planted and helps it to take root and bear fruit. You can pray they have a good work ethic.I read an article about praying for our adult children. The author talked about how she used to pray generally for her kids. However, now that she knows the Lord more, she realizes how intimately He cares about every detail of our lives and our children's lives. Here are some of the specific ways we can pray for our adult children, especially if they have fallen away from God.Ask God to show up in their lives in ways they can't deny. Ask Him for big miracles and little miracles, but most of all, ask Him to open your kids' eyes to what He's doing.Ask God to give them peace that isn't natural. In our world today, it seems like everything is stressful—from the price of groceries to going out in public. We are surrounded by news reports that feed our fears. Feeling a sense of peace in the midst of this is supernatural.Ask God to act specifically. If your child has a need, take that need to God on their behalf. Don't prejudge if the request is too small or too large. Give it to God and watch what He can do.Ask God to bless them in an exact way. Are they struggling with finances? Ask God to act. Are they trying for a work promotion? Ask God to work that out.Use Scripture to pray for them. God's Word is powerful. When we pray Bible verses for our children, we can be assured that God is listening.Ask God to show them something. Perhaps they didn't get the work promotion they wanted; ask God to show them why that was a good thing instead of a bad one.Ask God to draw them to Him. We can ask God to make our children so uncomfortable without Him that they'll come running back.The article I read says letting our kids know we are praying for them is just as important as actually praying for them. The author states that it is important to be specific in letting them know how we are praying for them. Here is what the author said: Tell them you're praying for an exact answer to something they've shared. Perhaps they're worried about car repairs. Share that you'll be asking God to provide all they need. By being specific, we've primed them to notice a specific answer.Share with them that every morning you pray for their safety. When we let them know when and what we're praying it makes our prayers more real to them. This is also a great way to model the fact that you spend time with God every morning.Point out the answers to the things you've asked God for on their behalf. When your child shares that they received something you've prayed for, point it out. It's not important to make a big deal about the answers, just mentioning how we've seen God work is enough. The impact comes when we do this consistently. As our adult children see God answering our requests regularly it can be life-changing. In addition, by letting them know we were praying for that exact answer, we show them how God answers prayers.Share specific verses from the Bible that you've been praying. If you've been praying for God to make your child's next steps obvious and the Bible verse you've been praying is, “In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:6, share that with them.Ask your adult children how you can pray for them. As they see the power that comes from spending time with God in prayer, they will often begin to open the spiritual door wider. When that happens, we can ask for ways they'd like us to pray for them.It is hard to see our adult children heading down the wrong path. Sometimes we can get discouraged and feel helpless. We can say things like, “All I can do now is pray.” Prayer is more powerful than anything else you were doing on your own. Prayer is the most powerful thing you can do. Once you enlist the help of God, you no longer have to worry because He is in control, and He will make sure they end up on the straight and narrow eventually. It is all in God's time, not our own. God's ways are not like our ways, and his thoughts are not like our thoughts. (Isaiah 55:8)I have noticed more change in my boys once I started to stop nagging them all the time and worrying about them all the time and started praying more and going to God with my fears. Nagging will not change our children. Telling them what they are doing is wrong will also not change our children. I did not see real changes in my kids' behaviors until I started leading more with love and prayers. When I could see they were acting out, I stopped punishing them so much and started loving them more. I came alongside them and let them know I understood how they were feeling. I let them know what they did was wrong and yet they are still good kids. I loved them no matter what they did. If they were doing things that scared me or I started to worry, I would bring it to God and pray about it. He would always calm my fears and assure me that all would be ok. You can do this too.I know you are sure you know what is best for your children, just as I am sure I know best for mine. However, the truth is that only God knows what is best. Often times we let our fears get in the way of what we want for our kids. For instance, we don't want them playing video games because it won't lead to anything, and yet God could be using that gift your child has to invent the next best-selling video game. You think he or she is wasting time and yet God is preparing him or her in the same way He is preparing you for your destiny. Turn your kids over to the Lord. Give Him your worries. When you are afraid your kids are making a mistake, bring it to God first. If he wants you to bring it to their attention, He will let you know. If He doesn't, then He will let you know that too. Take the time to stop and turn to God first. I bet if you do this one small thing you will see your relationships begin to change. I bet your kids will start to seek you out for advice because you listen to them and because you aren't nagging them. God will prepare their hearts to hear what you have to say if He wants you to say it. He will also tell you how to say it if you ask Him.

For more information about the prayer group or these words please email CatholicCharismaticPrayerGroup@gmail.com.  "I am pleased with all of you, my children, more than you might think. I am your God. I love you with a love that you can never begin to feel the depths of here on earth. But you will know me as I know you one day, and we will rejoice together. We will rejoice together to be in the presence of all the saints and angels." 

In Season 4 Episode 12 of the Forever Marriage Podcast, we talk about not judging one another. In Romans 14:13, Paul says, "Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather determine this - not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother's way." We tend to judge those who don't think, believe, feel, act or behave the way we do. Why is that? Oftentimes, we are uncomfortable with differences. We also talk about praying for one another. James 5:16 says, "Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much." Why would James tie together the concepts of confession of sin and prayer for one another as a means of healing? Mentioned in this episode:Scripture: Romans 2:1-3, Matthew 7:1-5, James 5:16, Psalm 32:3, Psalm 51:4, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Ephesians 5:13The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian

In the newest episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast, we're talking about truth and righteousness - specifically about clothing ourselves with both.  Ephesians 6: 14   Says, “Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,” but are you actually going around spiritually naked? Unprotected? Clothed in things of the world you think might protect you but don't? Stormie Omartian said, “The Bible would not have told us to take up the whole armor of God in order to withstand evil if evil could have been withstood without doing that.”  Is it time to pick put on your armor? Tune in to this episode to learn more about truth and righteousness, how one hinges upon the other and how you can protect yourselves with them. You can find The Woman Inspired Podcast on Podbean, Apple, Spotify, Google, Audible, iHeart and more.

What's the first thing you do when you or your child is struggling with something? Is it to pray?Prayer should be our first response, not our last resort.There is power in prayer.Stormie Omartian (stor·mee ow·maar·tee·uhn) writes this in her book The Power of a Praying Parent:“When we pray, we bring that power to bear upon everything we are praying about, and we allow the power of God to work through our powerlessness. When we pray, we are humbling ourselves before God and saying, “I need Your presence and Your power, Lord. I can't do this without You.” When we don't pray, it's like saying we have no need of anything outside of ourselves.” Let's be “first responders” when it comes to prayer.For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

Welcome to season 2 of the Determined to Dance podcast. I pray that you'll be uplifted, encouraged, and will move forward each and every day. Today's episode, Daring to Dance with God, focuses on season three and what happens when the dance and ministry join hands. Remember: Daring to Dance with God Twenty-five or so years ago, a guy at church handed me a book. “I think you need to read this,” he said. That book was Max Lucado's When God Whispers Your Name. I devoured every page, totally unaware that there was such a thing as Christian non-fiction books. For the next ten years, I read little fiction, my reading confined to the Bible and books by authors like Max Lucado, Billy Graham, Joyce Meyer, Tommy Tenney, Jack Hayford, Stormie Omartian, and Jeff Walling. Jeff Walling? You may ask. Who is that? He is a motivational and inspirational speaker and former pastor. He wrote three books, from what I can tell. And one changed my life. Daring to Dance with God. Honestly, all the books I read over that ten-year period were like pieces of the puzzle slowly fitting together to point me more toward who I was and the purpose and plan that God had for me. But, in my early thirties, dancing with God was something I'd never heard of. Never considered. Wondered if it were even possible. And slowly. One pirouette. One twirl. One faulty step and tumble on the dance floor followed by a flawless plie' followed by me whining to God about why in the world I ever thought I could dance. How could I flow and enjoy something so difficult at times as dancing? But Father God didn't give up on me. He still doesn't. On the very first episode of this podcast (which is a dance all by itself) I shared the initial analogy that brought me to this point: “I'll never forget the day that the thought, the God-nudge flooded my mind in that deep, quiet part within. God whispered that I had marched for Him and that was good but now he wanted me to dance with him instead. That analogy meant so much to me. I wept, then trembled with fear. It was one thing to march. If you've ever watched a high school band at a football game, you'll notice a set pattern. They've perfected their routine before the game. And practiced as often as they could. Got the steps down pat. Totally prepared. Like I tended to be. But dancing, the kind I knew God was talking about, would be very different. I was being asked to join and not take the lead. I wouldn't know exactly where on the dance floor I might end up. Maybe a quiet corner, or in a group of other dancers, or even in the center of the room, drawing every eye to us. As the orchestra played in the background, it would change and so would the dance. A fiery tango. A beautiful waltz. The Macarena? Even line dancing wouldn't be out of the question. Some parts would remain the same. I would still need the determination, the perseverance I'd learned over my years of marching for God. But it wouldn't be the determination to follow the patterns and stay in perfect line and timing. Instead, it would be the determination to surrender to God's will. Every time. Like writing a novel. Starting a podcast. Obedient, step by step. I would follow God's dance, his lead, his music, and go to the part of the dance floor where He led.” Dancing with God, following His will and way spontaneously, without thought for what others think hasn't been easy. But it has been the best decision I ever made next to asking Jesus to be my Lord and Savior. I hope to take the next step in season three. For myself and for you, the listener. I plan to challenge us both to a deeper relationship with God, more chances to make a difference in the lives of others, and more joy. Who couldn't use more joy in our chaotic world? In the words of Walling, “He (God) demands that we open ourselves to the unexpected, the unpredictable, and even the unexplainable. The Bible is full of instances where God chose to work in ou...

Katie J. Carsten radically encountered the Lord Jesus Christ and His love for her in 2014 and she has been on fire for Him ever since. She spent many years as a nurse until the Lord called her away from her job in 2018, telling her that her primary ministry was to her family and to bring them to Him. Little did she know that less than a year later she would encounter the greatest fight of her life, the fight for her son's salvation and destiny. God, in His infinite wisdom and great love, prepared her in advance for what was coming, making sure that she had the time needed to devote not only to the battle, but to her family and the women God has brought into her life and He has more than abundantly provided for her and her family.    In this episode Katie shares: -Her personal faith walk and encounter with Jesus and the Holy Spirit -Experiencing her son embark on a dark path -Growing in her knowledge of the Word of God and learning about authority -Being baptized in the Holy Spirit and the revelation of her authority -Applying specific scripture and declarations over her son and standing in faith when it was hard (years) -Being told to give the same grace that she had received -How the devil tries to discourage in ways we don't expect -A prophetic word given to her about her son when things looked hopeless -An encounter her son has with Jesus Christ in the spirit realm  -Eventual fulfillment of the prophecy and answers to prayer above and beyond what she could have imagined -The power of just one parent in prayer is enough -Her passion to help parents and families understand the authority they carry, and effective ways to pray -God calling her to write a book to help our prodigals   Isaiah 54:13  (Insert names) will be taught by the Lord, and great will be their peace.   Isaiah 61:3 (Insert names) will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.   "You better believe he can meet our prodigals. Anyone's prodigal, Anyone's lost ones, no matter how lost, how deceived, they are not too far gone for Jesus. Don't give up. That's the key. Don't give up. Never ever stop believing. Never. Even if you have to go to your grave believing, you go to your grave believing for their salvation." - Katie Carsten   How to reach Katie:  Katiekmj1@gmail.com   Katie's new book and resource to equip moms in their prayer life: https://www.amazon.com/Calling-Prodigals-Home-Mothers-Wickedness-ebook/dp/B0BM6V1QWP/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2X8C5TAL4JJSN&keywords=katie+carsten+calling+the+prodigals&qid=1668699303&sprefix=katie+carsten+calling+the+prodigal%2Caps%2C79&sr=8-1   Other resources for prayer over our children that have blessed me include Stormie Omartian's The Power of a Praying Parent and Craig Hill's The Power of a Parent's Blessing.

Você é a Sua História - Entrevista "As vezes as nossas histórias nos desgastam ou nos deixam debilitados. A vida muitas vezes é difícil e pesada. Mesmo assim, até uma história pesada não tem o direito de nos definir. Nem deve ser usado como uma desculpa, por mais prejudicial que possa ter sido. A grande realidade da história de Cristo nos anima, nos reorienta e nos convoca à nossa verdadeira identidade."  - trecho do livro "Who God Says You Are" do Klyne Snodgrass (tradução livre minha) No episódio de hoje escutamos um pouco da história da Raquel. Muitos momentos que ela descreve foram difíceis e pesados. Mas a Raquel continua olhando para a história de Cristo para definí-la. Ela segue (de maneira imperfeita, claro) se reorientando à sua verdadeira identidade e não usa os momentos difíceis que passou como desculpa pelos erros que comete.  Eu sempre digo que temos muito que aprender com as histórias umas das outras. Então finge que você está pegando um café e sentando na mesa com a gente para ouvir a história da Raquel (mesmo que realidade seja que você esta pegando um rodo, uma pilha de roupa, pesos na academia, ou uma longa estrada pela frente!) Recursos Mencionados A série toda é baseada no livro: "Who God Says You Are" do Klyne Snodgrass. Esse livro ainda não tem tradução para o português, mas peçam aí para as editoras brasileiras :)  A Raquel citou vários livros no final do episódio. Aqui está a lista:  "O Poder da Esposa que Ora" da autora Stormie Omartian "Venha Andar Sobre as Águas" do autor John Ortberg "Caído mas não Derrotado" do autor Wayne A. Mack "Incomparável" da autora Jen Wilkin "Mentiras em que as mulheres acreditam e a verdade que as liberta" da autora Nancy Leigh DeMoss

In this episode, Jonathan interviews best-selling author, Stormie Omartian, best known for her book Power of a Praying Wife. Stormie has sold more than 38 Million copies in her Power of a Praying series and vulnerably shares her story of coming to know Jesus as an adult and discovering the power of prayer as a wife, mom, and now a grandmother.

Es un cactus bailarín, con sombrero mejicano y bigotes. Lo puse en el alféizar de la ventana del comedor, junto a mi colección de cactus y plantas suculentas. ¡Siempre me pareció supersimpático! Sin embargo, cuando mis amigas vienen a visitarme no pueden tolerar el ruido que hace. En el comedor tengo un sofá cama en el que ellas duermen. El problema es que cuando el primer rayo de sol entra por la ventana, el cactus comienza a bailar. Y cuanta más luz hay, sus bracitos más rápido se mueven, haciendo más y más ruido: Tic, tac, ¡TIC! ¡TAC! ¡TIIICCC! ¡TAAACC! La única solución es recordar que hay que meterlo en un cajón antes de ir a dormir. Si le da el sol, no para de moverse. Yo no hago absolutamente nada para que el cactus bailarín se mueva. Por supuesto, si tuviera suficiente tiempo que perder, podría cubrir el panel solar con un pedazo de cinta adhesiva y dedicarme a moverlo a mano (aunque nadie mínimamente cuerdo haría algo así). Cuando se trata de nuestras vidas, sin embargo, continuamente hacemos esto. Dependemos de nuestra propia fuerza en lugar del Espíritu Santo. Pensamos que estamos demasiado ocupadas como para orar y pasar tiempo con él. O comenzamos el día con él, pero a mitad de camino nos olvidamos de permanecer conectadas y permitimos que el estrés se trasforme en ese trozo de cinta que cubre el panel solar. Sin embargo, hay una mejor manera de vivir: tal como sucede con mi cactus bailarín, si no obstruimos el paso de la luz, inevitablmente nos moveremos. “Dios quiere guiarte a lugares a los que no puedes llegar sin él, por medio de su Espíritu”, escribe Stormie Omartian en Lead me Holy Spirit [Guíame, Espíritu Santo]. Dios desea lograr que “dependas de él, que seas guiado y capacitado por él. Cuando reconozcas su voz que habla claramente a tu corazón, tu vida nunca será igual”. Gracias, Señor, por el don del Espíritu Santo. Ayúdame a no bloquear el flujo de su poder y amor en mi vida. A lo largo del día de hoy, quiero permanecer conectada, pendiente de su voz, atenta a cada susurro. Ayúdame a depender completamente de tu poder y sabiduría.

================================================== ==SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1================================================== == DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA MUJERES 2022“SIN MIEDOS NI CADENAS”Narrado por: Sirley DelgadilloDesde: Bucaramanga, ColombiaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church  02 DE MAYO DESCANSANDO EN LA INCERTIDUMBRE"Jesús estaba dormido en la parte posterior de la barca, con la cabeza recostada en una almohada. Los discípulos lo despertaron: '¡Maestro! ¿No te importa que nos ahoguemos?', gritaron" (Mar. 4:38, NTV) .Hay muchas formas de transitar la incertidumbre. Honestamente, por años, Emi técnica ha sido tratar de controlar todo lo que puedo controlar y estresarme por lo que no puedo controlar. Aunque creo que debemos vivir de forma organizada y racional, hay batallas en que la mejor estrategia es descansar. Hay momentos en que el acto de fe más grande consiste en recostar la cabeza sobre la almohada y dormir.Para poder descansar en la incertidumbre es necesario abandonarse a Dios. Sin embargo, como ceder el control me resulta tan difícil, a menudo elijo preocuparme por mantener viva la ilusión de que estoy al mando. Lentamente, estoy aprendiendo que no vale la pena. Estoy empezando a detectar la ansiedad como una luz que titila en el tablero del automóvil y me indica que necesito descansar.Cuando los amonitas y los moabitas fueron contra Judá a la guerra, el rey Josafat sabía que su ejército no podía hacerle daño frente. Todo el pueblo oro y ayuno, Dios, entonces, les dio una extraña respuesta: “Simplemente, quédense quietos en sus puestos, para que vean la salvación que el Señor les dará”. ¿Cómo podía pedirles a Dios que estuvieran quietos en una situación de vida o muerte? La respuesta es sencilla: “Porque yo, el Señor, estaré con ustedes” (2 Crón. 20:17, NVI).“Para caminar paso a paso con Dios debemos aceptar el valor del momento en el que estamos”, escribe Stormie Omartian en Just Enough Light for the Step I'm On (Solo la cantidad de luz suficiente para el paso en el que estoy). “Cuando seas tentado a sentirte temeroso, frustrado, inseguro, oa entrar en pánico acerca de lo que está sucediendo en tu vida, detente y nota que Dios está contigo. Y con él tienes todo lo que necesitas para este momento. Aquí y ahora". La razón por la que podemos descansar, aun en la incertidumbre, es que Dios está a nuestro lado.Señor Jesús, gracias porque tú sabes lo que realmente necesito en este momento. Ayúdame a confiar en ti, no en mis planes o mis propias fuerzas. Dame sabiduría y humildad para aceptar cuando no puedo acelerar o cambiar un proceso. Enséñame a descansar en ti, aun en medio de la tormenta.

Por extraño que parezca, el terreno arenoso y el calor agobiante son ideales para producir dátiles dulces. De igual forma, la incertidumbre es el terreno ideal para que crezca la fe.Algunas veces me gustaría que Dios actuara como un GPS. Me gustaría saber de antemano la ruta exacta por la que voy a ir y cuánto tardaré en llegar a destino. Al igual que un GPS, me gustaría poder reprogramar la ruta cuando Dios me conduce por un lugar que no me agrada. Muchas veces estoy convencida de que si tuviera más control e información sobre mi futuro, sería más feliz.Pero Dios, en su infinita sabiduría, solo me da luz para el escalón en el que estoy parada, para este paso. En Just Enough Light for the Step I'm On [Solo la cantidad de luz suficiente para el paso en el que estoy], la escritora cristiana Stormie Omartian dice: “El Espíritu Santo desea que nos volvamos más y más dependientes de él para cada paso. Porque desea llevarnos a lugares donde nunca hemos estado. ¡Alturas que no podemos imaginar!"Si yo estoy al control, mi vida nunca llegará a esas alturas. Si yo decido, voy a tomar la opción más segura y sencilla, la más cómoda. Pero los músculos y la fe solo crecen cuando los exigimos. “Lo desconocido no es tan aterrador cuando nos damos cuenta de que nuestro Dios omnisciente está allí”, agrega Omartian. Cuando damos el paso de fe, avanzando hacia lo desconocido, nuestra zona de confort crece y el miedo se desvanece.Si sabemos lo que sucederá, no necesitamos fe. Por eso, la incertidumbre es el terreno ideal para que crezca la fe.No quiero que el miedo y la comodidad determinen la ruta de mi vida. Jesús, te cede el control. No sé lo que vendrá, pero sé que estás allí. Estás presente en cada día de mi futuro, alumbrando mi incertidumbre con la luz de tu presencia, con el fuego santo de tu amor. Tú estás conmigo todos los días, hasta el fin de la historia. Y cuando los días se transformen en la eternidad, aun allí me guiarás.

(Proverbios 19:17, NVI).Un sábado, en agosto de 2020, mi hermana Inés estaba participando de la Escuela Sabática online, durante la cuarentena por el coronavirus. En medio de una conversación animada, uno de los participantes: “Muchas veces hablamos de ayudarnos los unos a los otros, pero no siempre lo llevamos a la práctica”. Justo en ese momento, un pensamiento claro e inspirado apareció en su mente: "Fulana de tal necesita dos mil pesos". Al terminar la Escuela Sabática, Inés se fijó si tenía dos mil pesos y los separó para dárselos a esa persona. Durante la semana, mi hermana llamó a la compañía que le provee servicios de Internet para quejarse por el costo de la factura. Inesperadamente, la compañía ofreció darle un descuento que, a lo largo de un año, le ahorraría diez mil pesos. “Yole di a Dios dos mil pesos y él me dio diez mil”, me dijo Inés.Si tenemos una mentalidad de escasez, nos centraremos en nuestros recursos limitados y nos perderemos de presenciar hermosos milagros. “A menudo sentimos que, al dar, perdemos”, escribe Stormie Omartian en Just Enough Light for the Step I'm On [Solo la cantidad de luz suficiente para el paso en el que estoy]. "Pensamos: Si no tuviera que dar esto, tendría más para mí. Sin embargo, esa es la actitud que hará que perdamos. La Biblia dice que, si le damos a Dios, tendremos todo lo que necesitamos en nuestras vidas. Si no, no". Cuando no somos generosos, en realidad estamos cortando el flujo de las bendiciones de Dios. Por supuesto que él aún nos ama; sin embargo, “los tesoros de la abundancia de Dios solo se abren para aquellos que inician el proceso abriéndose a sí mismos al dar”, añade.Dios quiere darnos una mentalidad de abundancia, que se concentre en sus recursos ilimitados y resulte en una vida generosa y abundante. Cuando vivimos así, como dice aquella canción de Fito Páez, el vuelto “siempre es de más." Ser generosos, confiando en la providencia divina, es el mejor “negocio" que podemos hacer.Señor, tus recursos son absolutamente ilimitados. Tú me bendices hasta que sobreabunda; hasta que mis brazos no pueden cargar más regalos, hasta que la casa está llena de comida, de luz y de alegría. Ayúdame a recordar esto cuando tenga la oportunidad de dar. Quiero abrir mis manos y mi corazón para dar generosamente
