Here’s the encouraging word:
As I was reading this morning, the Lord took me to Psalm 71 and highlighted verses 20 and 21. These verses say:
You, who have shown me great and severe troubles, shall revive me again, and bring me up again from the depths of the earth. You shall increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side” (Psalm 71:20-21).
Here’s what I heard the Lord say:
“I have walked with you through great and severe troubles–troubles so severe that you have not known such troubles before. But all the while, I have been with you.
Now I am sitting on you to revive you.
You have long felt dead, but I am waking you up. Each day, if you will look for it, you will notice yourself coming a little more alive. You will not cry quite as often; and eventually, you will not need to cry at all. Each day, I will fill you with more hope. I will give you as much hope as you have the capacity to receive.
So ask Me to increase your capacity for hope and joy.
Confess your worry to Me. Lay it all at My feet, and ask Me to help you believe. Ask Me to help you hope again. Ask Me to fill you with joy unspeakable and full of glory.”
If you have been sad and crying today, pray this prayer for help:
“Father God, in Jesus’ name, thank You for seeing my tears and hearing my cries. Lord Jesus, thank You that Your Word says I have hope in You. You are in me, and You are the hope of glory.
Father, I confess that I have struggled with doubt, unbelief, discouragement, and hopelessness. But these have been my feelings, Lord, and my feelings are not permanent but Your Word is.
So Father, I speak to my soul right now, and I say: “Soul, line up with my spirit, which is filled with the Holy Spirit! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me; bless His holy name!”
Father, please help me to dwell in the secret place of Your Presence and abide under Your shadow.
Help me to confess Your Word out loud, for You are my refuge and fortress–my God, in whom I shall trust. Father, as I abide under Your shadow, please keep my emotions stable and fixed.
Father, You are the God of all hope. So Abba Father, in Jesus’ name, fill me with Your hope again. Fill me with peace and joy. Help me to be anxious for nothing; but in everything, with prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, help me make my requests known to you … and Your peace, which passes all understanding, will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
Father, I thank You for waking me up a little more each day.
Accelerate Your work and help me to cooperate with it. Thank You that You are bringing me up from the depths of the earth. Thank You that You are actually bringing greatness into my life and increasing the greatness that was already there.
Father, You are the God of all comfort, so please comfort me today. Let me sense Your presence and affection. Help me to sense Your love. Fill me with Your Spirit of adoption, and draw me close to You. Dry my tears and hold me tight to Your chest, Lord.
You always heal my heart and bring out the best in me, Father … and I thank You for doing it.
Continue to make me like Jesus. Conform me to the image of Christ. Take away my old heart, and give me Your heart. Take away my old spirit, and give me a new spirit–Your Spirit.
Abba Father, let Your peace overflow the banks of my life like a flooding river. Fill me with Your joy, and help me to set my mind and keep it set on things above, where Christ is, seated at Your right hand. Glorify Your own name in my life, Father, and I’ll give You all the praise.
Thank You, Father God. Thank You, Lord Jesus. In Your holy name I pray, amen.”

Hi Jamie, your word has been a real anchor to me today. Thank you for posting this today and I ask that you will keep me in prayer as the Lord completes what He is doing in me and eventually through me. I’m in an extremely difficult place right now and I am battling anxiety and fear over the physical and mental attacks I’m going through. God bless you abundantly always. In His love and Grace, Maria
Hello today I was felling LO TODAY PEOPLE IN MY CHURCH TALK DOWN TO ME THEY BELITTLE ME AND THINK I AM NOT GOOD ENOUGH THEY WORDS AND ACTION HURTS ME THEY DO NOT CARE I AM CRYING OUT FOR HELP THANK YOU MY NAME IS HURTING RIGHT NOW.
God bless you for this prayer. I was in need of uplifting. I am crying a lot from mistreatment of spouse (verbally) and misuse by my daughter-in-law. I just overcame breast cancer and I cannot get my life back to some normal. I get either whined at by the dog or scolded by my husband every day and I am so tired. I get no break except for when they are sleep late at night. I am so tired and weary. Please send me a response of what I can do \
Good morning Jamie. May the good Lord bless you and prosper your ministry. I’m grateful for today’s Word, it has helped me indeed. I was really crying because of my daughter’s marital settlement. I’m believing God that she’ll get married to a man after God’s heart before the end of this year. I will soon testify concerning her in Jesus name. I’ve handed over the issue unto God, for what God cannot do does not exist! Thank you again Jamie
Thank you so much for this word today. I seemed to have opened it as tears were flowing from my eyes. I am struggling today and have been up since 3 am praying and asking God for his help today. I am praying for His healing for my friend and for me. I have felt so alone and that I have not done any good by him or with my prayers for him nor myself but I have to know that God is with me and carrying me thru this difficult time. I know that He loves me and is protecting me and watching over what He believes is right but it is hard when you love someone so much and can not be with them. It hurts when they hurt and you don’t know how to be their rock or support because they won’t let you in or don’t know how to feel. So God hold me today as I learn and process this situation and try to overcome the doubts and pray for wisdom and discernment to do the right thing for both of us. In Jesus’ name AMEN
Thank you Jamie and God bless you so much that you don’t have enough room to receive it!
I just want to thank Jesus, for you and for making me join this blog. I haven’t been able to express myself for a while and even though I know God sees me… I have been having trouble believing and sometimes I wonder if I even truly believe. I’ve been going through feelings I couldn’t recognize and I felt like God had abandoned me and turned his face away. For a long while I haven’t been able to cry but today I did, even though it was like a just a little tear drop, it was something to me and when I saw your post. It spoke to me in a way I can’t explain. Am still waiting on God because he said that the good work he has started in me, he will complete. He promised never to leave me nor forsake me. So I’ll keep on waiting, I’ll keep on hanging on to whatever little faith I can muster even if it just mental faith, even when doubts plague my mind and I wonder if he really exist or is as good as the word says he is. I’m going to stand on the love of God that made Jesus die for me and knowing that no thought, doubt or unbelief separated me from the love of God that is christ Jesus. God bless real hood for me and bless your baby more. In Jesus glorious name. Amen.
Pls join me in praying for a release of my testimony, God has shown me all the signs that he has answered me and this is one of thank you ALMIGHTY father I love you so much

I was just crying out to the Lord this morning. And when I checked my email and saw this blog, I knew that this was a right now Word for me. Thank you Jamie for allowing the Lord to use you to be a voice to His people.
Thank you Jamie. I cried all the way to work this morning and then this is one of the first things I saw when I got in. So thankful that God gave you this word today.
We have been going through a really tough time with our sin who is separated from his wife and child. Divorce papers are in their way to him in her words. He has yet to see his child 1200 miles away. The list goes on…. Thank you so for this word if encouragement and prayer. It goes right along with what I was reading in a Max Lucado book tiday called “anxious for nothing”. Thank you for helping me rejoice in God’s sovereignty today!
Thank you Jamie. What a pleasant coincidence. I have been weeping in my heart- I refuse to openly about so many things. However, my career has been so stagnant all these years and I just need a breakthrough. I have been overtaken by junior colleagues, it’s painfully embarrassing. And someone in church offended me sort of indirectly- I was in so much pain. But I asked God for help to forgive and love them and then I came into my mail to see your mail. Thank you – because it’s as though sometimes one has hit a brick wall and there appears to be no way out. God richly bless you
Dearest Jamie – This was for me today! The battle the last couple of days has been unlike anything I’ve experienced in years. The onslaught has been on every front in my life – every last one and all I can do today is listen to worship music (yours included) read my Bible, pray in the Spirit and cry….cry…cry. So thank you dear Woman of God!
Jamie, my receiving this instruction and guidance from you this day is like you have read my mail so to speak. Spot on for what I have been feeling and needing a hand up from someone who knows! God bless you and family!
Yes LORD…I receive….AMEN
Thank you Jamie for this word. I have been sad and crying for so long because of the unpleasant situations around me. I’ve been in So much pain, hurt by people I Love, felt alone and every single day I’ve been going to Bed in tears waking up the same. So I just woke up opened my mail and came across this I just said to myself this word is for me. I thank God for using you to speak to me and reminding me that no matter what am facing right now He is right besides me, he’s waking me up and making me alive once more. I believe he’s drying my tears and filling me with so much hope. Even when I think less of myself, he’s increasing my greatness. Continue praying for me. Am encouraged and strengthened! May God bless you and increase the Grace upon you life.
You spoke life to someone today!

I know I am growing into the better version of the woman of God I’m destined to be, but I am feeling the growing pains. And it’s hard.
Jamie Thankyou for your faithfulness. I’m asking for prayer of protection for my daughters and myself. I’m asking the Lord for vindication and open doors in my finances. Ive been praying for a home so I can get my children back. Please keep me in prayer concerning myself and my children.
This Morning I was praying asking God for help, and suddenly he gave me a song, where the spirit of the lord is…. and I begin to listen to this song. And really feel Gods presence and reassurance. Then I got this emails HALLELUJAH!!!! Thank you Jesus! Jamie God is an on time God!! May he bless you and keep you!!!
Thanks Jamie. I needed this prayer so so much. In Jesus mighty name, I have prayed and believed, Amen!.
Thank you Lord, and as i write this ‘i have just been discharged past a week from the hospital with multiple ailments and now weakness and severe financial issues, I have a hope that the Lord will now give a new chapter and beginning for me and my family !
Thank-you, for this prayer ,Jamie we have been going through a bad time with a bad neighbor for some reason they have taken an interest in us ,an they bully an intimidate, an harass, we don’t bother them because they are into bad things an everything they do outwardly is not against the law, they know this, one or both of them have done jail time before. please pray god removes this family.
Going through a very rough time, thank you for this prayer.
I am sad & confused, every night my husband whispers he hates me, he wants to leave. He doesn’t love me, he only wants himself. All kinds of horrible things, then the next minute it’s like he’s crying he loves me, wants,me & needs me. When I reach out to him to be loving & comfort. He goes back to the hating me.
Or pretends he just woke up or was awake the whole time & I am hearing things & is hostile with me. I am crazy! This has gone on for almost a year now. I have prayed over him, tried to cast out the spirits, everything I can think of. Every day he is distant & he says because I keep him awake with stupid crap but he uses fowl words & calls me fowl names. I keep praying but I just am at a loss .
He is suppose to be a Christian but says I .ake him do this or says he’s not doing it.
Anyways, just need prayers for strength.
In the name of Jesus holy spirit help to believe and receive your comfort and peace. Bring me to the secret place where 1 can rest in you under your protection. Hear my supplication and my prayer for every day I am searching for kingdom.Reeinforce me in your love and deliver me from this confusion. Holy spirit raise my prayer to throne of God for it to be answered. In Jesus name.Amen

Yesterday I had a crisis of faith. The world went askew and my emotions and thoughts went with it. I am still broadsided. Everything I believed was placed under a microscope and it has shaken me. I am still in spiritual shock. The pain is so deep that I can’t even read all the prayer above as I feel unable to lift the edge of my emotions for fear of what I will be uncovered. My soul is numb, but my spirit clings to God.
Praise God!It happens to me right now,was in tears and i allow God to wipe it away this morning.He heard me.Thank you Sweet Holy Spirit.
This bible verse, reflection and prayer made me cry. It has helped me heal my heart.
