Heavenly Father, I lift up Kate to You today. Just as Your Word in Isaiah 40:31 promises, she will always find renewed strength in You, Lord.

She will soar on wings like eagles, rising above any obstacles that come her way. Grant her the endurance to run and not grow weary, to persevere through life's trials. She will not be faint, for You are her source of unwavering strength.

Pour Your blessings upon her, Lord, in ways that only You can. Let her see & experience Your guidance, provision, and grace abundantly. Help her to trust in You with all her heart, knowing that You are always there to lift her up.

In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Bible verse: Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭31‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”

Dear Lord,

May Kate continually put her trust in you and do what is right in your eyes. May she fix her heart on your promises, and she will dwell in the land, feasting on your faithfulness. May Kate finds her delight and true pleasure in You, and You will give her what she desires the most. ✨

May Kate give You the right to direct her life, and as she trusts You along the way, she will find that You pulled it off perfectly for her.

You will appear as her righteousness, as sure as the dawning of a new day. You will manifest as her justice, as sure and strong as the noonday sun.

May Kate quiet her heart in Your presence and wait patiently for You. And may she not think for a moment that the wicked, in their prosperity, are better off than her. In Jesus’ name, Amen

“Keep trusting in the Lord and do what is right in his eyes. Fix your heart on the promises of God, and you will dwell in the land, feasting on his faithfulness. Find your delight and true pleasure in Yahweh, and he will give you what you desire the most. Give God the right to direct your life, and as you trust him along the way, you’ll find he pulled it off perfectly! He will appear as your righteousness, as sure as the dawning of a new day. He will manifest as your justice, as sure and strong as the noonday sun. Quiet your heart in his presence and wait patiently for Yahweh. And don’t think for a moment that the wicked, in their prosperity, are better off than you.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37‬:‭3‬-‭7‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Dear Father God,

Indeed, a single day in Your courts

is better than a thousand anywhere else!

Kate would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of her God than live the good life in the homes of the wicked. For the Lord God is her sun and her shield. He gives her grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. O Lord of Heaven’s Armies,  what joy it is for Kate who trusts in You.

In Jesus’ mighty name, amen.

Scripture: Psalm 84:10-12 NLT

10 A single day in Your courts

is better than a thousand anywhere else!

I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God

than live the good life in the homes of the wicked.

11 For the Lord God is our sun and our shield.

He gives us grace and glory.

The Lord will withhold no good thing

from those who do what is right.

12 O Lord of Heaven’s Armies,

what joy for those who trust in You.

Therefore, dear Kate, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.

19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.

Thank you that your love for Kate is patient and kind. Thank you that it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. Your love is one that does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking. Thank you dear Lord because your love for my sister is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Yours is the love that does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. I know that the love that you have for Kate always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

In Jesus Precious Name,

Amen

Dear Jesus,

Thank You Jesus because Kate is convinced that nothing can ever separate her from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate her from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate her from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

In Jesus’ loving name, Amen!

Scripture: Romans 8:38-39

“And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Dear Lord,

You, whom Kate loves, call to her: "Arise, my dearest Kate. Hurry, my darling." Kate will come away with You! You have come as Kate has asked to draw her to Your heart and lead her out. For now is the time for Kate, Your beautiful one. The season has changed, the bondage of her barren winter has ended, and the season of hiding is over and gone. The rains have soaked the earth and left it bright with blossoming flowers. The season for singing and pruning the vines has arrived. You hear the cooing of doves in the land, filling the air with songs to awaken Kate and guide her forth. Kate will discern this new day of destiny breaking forth around her. The early signs of Your purposes and plans are bursting forth. The budding vines of new life are now blooming everywhere. The fragrance of their flowers whispers, “There is change in the air.” Kate will arise, Your love, Your beautiful companion, and run with You to the higher place. For now is the time for Kate to arise and come away with You.

In the beautiful name of Jesus, AMEN!

Dear Lord,

Thank You because Kate has great blessings for not following the advice of the wicked, or live like sinners do, and don't make fun of You because she loves You.

Instead, Kate loves your teachings, and she is reminded of them day and night. She grows strong as she abides in You--like a tree planted by a stream , producing fruit in every season of her life, with leaves that never wither or fall. Because of Your great love for her, everything she does is and will be successful.

I pray these in Jesus' name, AMEN!

*****
Psalm 1:1-3 ERV
Great blessings belong to those who don’t listen to evil advice, who don’t live like sinners, and who don’t join those who make fun of God.
Instead, they love the Lord’s teachings and think about them day and night. So they grow strong, like a tree planted by a stream—
a tree that produces fruit when it should and has leaves that never fall. Everything they do is successful

Dear Jesus,

If Kate needs wisdom, I pray that she will ask You, her generous God, and thank you for the promise that You Lord, will give it to Kate. You will not rebuke her for asking.

But when Kate asks You for wisdom, thank you Lord that by your amazing grace, she will make sure that her faith is in You alone. I pray that Kate will not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.

But Thank you Lord that as Kate continues to fix her eyes on you, her loyalty need not be divided between God and the world, and she need not be unstable in everything she does.

I ask this all in your powerful name Jesus, Amen!

***************

James 1:5-8 NLT
5 If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.
6 But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind.
7 Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
8 Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.
