Today I Pray

Good morning all
Today I am praying and ask that each of you pray with me, on last night as the word hit that Whitney Houston had died at merely 48, the world went into shock, many started wondering the obvious was it the drugs. well I say to you at this point it's not important. What we need to know and remember is that tomorrow is not promised to any of us no matter the age. So today, I pray that we each stand in the gap for that loved one in our family who is struggling with an addiction, no matter what that addiction is, be it drugs, alcohol, sex, pornography, gambling, shopping, cigarettes. Right now please join me in asking God to arrest and convict right now that addiction which holds our loves ones. Keep in mind that because you are standing in the gap it doesn't mean you have it all together it just means that God showed you mercy. People of God I pray that we each remember that because these people struggle with an addiction it doesn't mean they don't know Jesus some are even in church Sunday after Sunday but they have these issues. I pray for you and them and in turn I pray for me. I pray that I can help the persons I love with their struggles while I deal with my own issues as well. You see as long as we live we will encounter an issue. Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not yet seen. Right now, I bind the addictions that our loves one struggle with, I declare and decree that they are loosed right now and set free. I declare and decree at this moment they realize that death doesn't have an age and they have but this moment to get it right. That they return to the families that love them that will pray and not judge. I pray that they get a new circle of friends and if the person is a family member that assist them in this addiction that they have the strength and sense to separate from that person. Dear God as I close this prayer, I lift up to you all my family members that struggle with an addiction and I lift up myself to you, God remind me and those of who are standing in the gap at this moment that we are merely testifying to the fact that with you all things are possible and we are not judging. I pray that each person as I reflect back on Whitney for just a moment and say that Whitney knew the Lord in the evidence of her songs , The Greatest Love of All, that she sang who do I go to when the world is sinking fast, I Go To the Rock, In her singing, I Love the Lord , she knew He pitied every groan. What I say is that Whitney's struggle is over, let her rest and now pray without ceasing and by giving your loved one who struggles to the Lord who loves them .

In Jesus most precious name Amen

Blessed to Be A Blessing,
