A Change in the Air?
Dear Praying Friends,
I normally don’t post anything on the blog on weekends, but feel that I should write today. (8/30) For a long time, I have tried to post daily (or almost daily) with scriptures and prayer prompts. This past week has been more challenging and I have not posted as much. With that I have wondered if there is a change in the air. I have written because it is an outlet for me before the Lord. As I pour words out, it helps me to process what God is doing and saying to me.
I shared about a breakthrough in prayer earlier this week and I’m still rejoicing in the answer. But with the breakthrough of persevering prayer usually comes weariness and I do feel weary.
In a prayer group this week, I shared the words of Dick Eastman in his book, Love On Its Knees:
“Intercession is fighting. It is engaging in battle. “
Whenever we pray “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is Heaven” we are engaging in a “light and darkness” battle. Now please understand that we already know the outcome and as a precious pastor friend once reminded me, “We’ve read the end of the Book and we win!”
But in all of this, it doesn’t change the fact that we are still in a battle until He returns to make everything right. With that battle comes different “seasons”. I think we’d all agree that the world and our Nation are very different than they were 10 years ago.
The one thing that we can count on in this world is that change will come. Is there change in the air now? I have wondered about it this week and I will continue to pray and ask the Lord to guide me in regards to this prayer blog and also the plans He has for me.
I hope that you will keep praying even when the battles seem endless and even hopeless.
At the end of August 2025 I still pray and I invite you to join me:
SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD! HELP US TO THRIVE IN 2025 AND HELP US TO BE UNSHAKABLE. (based on Psalm 62:6)
Let’s keep praying for Nation and neighbor…

If there is a change coming, help us to move in Your Spirit’s power to embrace the changes that You desire to bring to Your Church. You have said that You will have a Bride without spot and wrinkle and we know that we are in a sanctifying journey with You. Help us to submit to God and to resist satan. Thank You that nothing separates us from Your love. (Ephesians 5:26-27) I pray in Your Name and I stand in Your Name..(add your own prayers here) SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD!
