Praying God’s Word Wednesday #20

August 18, 2021 by Lauren 16 Comments

I can hardly believe we have been praying scripture together every Wednesday for 20 weeks now!  Praying God’s Word is so important to me and it’s a privilege to be able to share this passion with you.

If you have prayed even one Wednesday with me, thank you so much.  And I want to remind you, if you have specific things you would like me to pray for, it would bring me such joy to do so.  Either leave a comment below or click on the Contact tab here or at the top of the page to send me a private message.

 

And now for this week’s verse:

 

What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.  I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ. 

Philippians 3:8 NASB

 

My Prayer:

 

If needed, replace the pronouns with the appropriate ones for the person or people that you are praying for.

 

If you are reading this, I am praying for you.  And don’t forget to share this on social media or with a friend who could benefit.  It would mean so much to me.  If you don’t want to miss a Praying God’s Word Wednesday, subscribe over on the right hand side of this page.

    Lauren, I want to tell you what a beautiful prayer (and I do) but as I type, I know it is God’s Word we are praying. And the power that comes through praying His Word is beyond my ordinary prayers. Will you pray with me as I am readying to close on the sale of my East TX home on 9/10 and moving to Western CO to be near family. For thoroughness in all the befores I am currently doing, safe travels as I will be driving with my cat, and her only, plus the peace of God over all. Thank you, my sister.

    I, too, want nothing in my life to be ahead of Christ.

    Please pray for me as I’m now finished with writing my book and am wading into the waters of getting it published. It all seems overwhelming! But my book is about redemption being available for everyone and I feel it is an important message.

    Praying with you, Lauren, for us to all to have nothing ahead of Jesus in our lives.

    If you would pray for safety for all our teachers and students as they get ready to return to school here in Massachusetts. Much appreciated!

    Praying for bravery, courage, and trust that God will help me to remove those things in my life that need removing – behaviors, thoughts, things. Open my eyes to what I do not see or have so chosen to not see I believe they are not there.

    Congratulations on Week 20, Lauren!

    Wow, it’s been 20 weeks?! I’ve loved these weekly posts, Lauren. So many times, they’ve spoken just the words I needed to pray for the situation I was in. My son is really struggling right now. These prayers and verses you share each week are so perfect (in fact he read this week’s verse). Thank you.

About Me

I love Jesus, my husband and caffeine. The order of these can change depending on how tired I am. When my two daughters, stepson, and 4 grandchildren get to be too much, I practice yoga. God graciously allows me to share our adventures, victories and flub-ups from my laptop. May He be glorified here.
