January 20, 2024 at 8:30 am“The Horror, the Horror!” – the line from Heart of Darkness that echoed today!
Darren’s call describing the horrific murder of his 8 yr-old, her 2 aunts and uncle and then his suicide, all in front of his 5 year-old baby was too much to imagine or take. We have become so calloused to stories like this from news and video games, that far too many people would cruise by this, “next!” I will not go into long social commentary or observations about evil or end times – the point makes itself. All I can say is that, “Jesus wept.”
Pray for this family and especially for that little 5 year-old girl who was introduced to the evils of this world way too early and pray that she can somehow unsee this gross evil. We are all so consumed with the distractions of this world: “squirrel!!!” that many may be numb to this. I pray not. I pray that we experience agony down to our DNA and remember that we are all one. We could not have dived in front of those bullets, but we can do our best to hand out and encourage everyone we know, especially those who are troubled to put on the full armor of God! It is our charge and our charter. Remember, He said, “whoever causes one of these little ones to sin, better that they had a millstone around their neck and thrown into the sea!” The Giver and Creator condemning them to death – should discourage anyone but sadly our hearts have hardened, our ears are stuffed with wax and we’ve become numb.
I pray that the Holy Spirit flushes out this rot and renews us, softens our hearts, clears our wars and that we stand strong, armored and ready to take on the evil one, ready to defend the least and most helpless of these. Amen
God bless!

January 20, 2024 at 9:20 amMy heart just aches for this family tragedy. My niece ‘s significant other shot his two young daughters and then took his own life. The aftermath of this unthinkable horror has reached and affected us all. A breakdown of mental stability is running rampant in our land and we run to the throne room of Grace for answers…for truth…for healing. May our merciful Father be with this family…the only real Comforter.

January 27, 2024 at 3:55 pmSo sad, and so true are your words Lazarus. Holy God, help us all to keep our hearts from becoming calloused by so many senseless atrocities that are becoming so common place. Father keep our hearts softened, and in contact with your heart so that we love the things that you love and hate the things that you hate. Help us Father, to be more like you, more loving and caring, and tender hearted with hearts of compassion for the hurting and lost of this world. And for the innocent ones who are forced to grow up so fast. Help us Lord to be part of the solution. Lead us how to pray, and lead us how to act. In Jesus Name. Amen! 🙏💞

January 29, 2024 at 6:01 amI agree with the words and prayers of Lazarus and myanchorsure and other prayers in here. It is so true we see and hear so much daily and have such busy and distracted lives (all by plan and design of the cunning enemy) we live in a world where people have become so automated and now aided by a rapid warpspeed warped ai that is taken over and dehumanising many even more. How true it is in God’s Word where we were warned peoples hearts would wane cold in this hour. Dear Heavenly Father I lift up our brother Darren and his family, especially the Mother of his daughter who was murdered, and pray you will comfort him and all the family. Give Darren supernatural strength to withhold the enemies temptations to fall back into old addictions and habits. Put your mantle of peace over him that despite the chaos he can trust and walk with a heavenly Father Jehovah, Yahweh, Rafah and also our Lord and Saviour Jesus to hold his hand and lead him through all the chaos to be a stalwart also to his family. Amen

January 29, 2024 at 6:12 amfamily, Gracious God, may your request be heard. Thank you Abba for having heard me. Maranatha, May we all lament as well be in confident expectation of God’s goodness and in prayer for good things to come—The Lord is coming!! * Arise Jesus! Elaha Rahemana, our Lord and Master, I beseech You to arise and bring healing and revival. Amen, for Yahweh-Seli (The LORD is my Rock) ”Arise, Lord, in your anger; rise up against the rage of my enemies. Awake, my God; decree justice.“ One more: ”Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.“ Matthew 7:7-8 In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen 🙏

January 29, 2024 at 6:17 am🙏🏻Lord, there are days when the darkness that surrounds us seems overwhelming. The winds of adversity blow so hard and so long that the flame in our hearts flickers wildly. Were it not for Your Holy Spirit living within us, we would be overcome. Our brother Darren and his family have suffered a terrible, incomprehensible blow, Lord. As his brothers and sisters in Christ, we stand in the gap and surround him and his child with our shields of faith. We lift them high and lock them together to provide a covering of prayer for them as they walk through this deep, dark valley. We pray for strength for Darren. We pray for brothers and sisters in Christ in his community to surround him and share the burden of all that comes next in his journey. We pray for clarity of mind for decisions that won’t wait and grace for those that will. We pray for healing of his child’s memory, Lord. We don’t see how that can happen, but we know You’ve done even greater miracles. We thank You that Darren will not walk one step of this long, hard road without You. We thank You that in moments where physical help is not available, You are. We thank You for the comfort of Your Word in moments where the enemy tries to drown Darren in despair. We thank You that You are our Redeemer and that nothing is outside the reach of Your redemption. We don’t understand this, Lord, but we choose to trust in You. Help Darren, Lord. Cradle him and his precious child in the palm of Your hand. In Jesus’ name I pray.

February 6, 2024 at 9:23 amOh Darren. The night I heard your call. I sobbed into my pillow. I cannot fathom the grief surrounding this tragic event and evil act. I will continue to join the beautiful brothers and sisters of this world wide community as they or rather we stand encircling you, your daughter’s mother and that precious little one. Oh how He hers our cries. In this for you all we lift our voices high to the King. We do not understand why but the answer to this question is Jesus! Bring comfort in their sorrow oh Lord. Right now Darren as I finish writing this the Chickadees are chorusing “Jesus” “Jesus” “Jesus”! Oh my brother Oh my brother. 💦
