"Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands." Isaiah 49:15-16a
How much does God love you? More than a mother who has given birth and nursed her own children... As a mother of three myself, I wonder how God could love us more than I love my children. When they have any problem, I run to see how I can be of help to them. I pick them up, sooth their wounds, love on them, and pray for them until their storm passes.
God loves us even more than that. He has such an all encompassing, compassionate love for us that is even beyond our human comprehension. If we can wrap our thoughts and hearts around this gigantic kind of love, we can realize that a loving God like this cares about EVERY detail of our lives. We need not hesitate to ask God's help in ALL things that affect our lives. We are not "bothering" Him. He wants to help us and be involved in our lives.
What are you dealing with that you think is too small to bother God about? Take it to Him today in prayer and remember as you do it, your name is already on the palm of His hand and He will NEVER forget you or come to your aid in the way that is best for you and others.
Lord, we love you and want to allow Your great love to flow through our lives to others we see today that are in need of knowing You. Help us to be sensitive to pray for them and for all of the concerns of our lives. Nothing is too big or small for Your care and concern. Please bless our lives so we can be a blessing to others. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen! Love ya, Church Chicks, and God loves you MORE!!!

The Lord's Blessing On Our Children
"I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, and My blessing on your offspring; they will spring up among the grass like willows by the watercourses." Isaiah 44:3-4
It is so comforting to know that God isn't just interested in blessing our lives as His children, He is also interested in having a relationship through His Spirit with our children and grandchildren. His blessing is promised to be poured out on them also, and they will spring up among the grass like willow trees by the water. Get a mental picture of that... Are you praying and/or worrying about your children and grandchildren? Let's pray the promise of this scripture over them today and everyday until we see them have a relationship with Jesus, be filled with God's Spirit, and living lives that the Lord is blessing.
Dear Father, we ask for your blessing today not only on our lives, but on the lives of our descendants. We ask you to bless them, fill them with Your Spirit, and cause them to live fruitful lives for You so that Your people will continue on through generations until Your return. Thank You for calling us into Your family. Please continue to call our families until they all rest in You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Have a blessed day, Church Chicks! Let's let our children and grandchildren know how much God loves them today and how He has blessed our lives. Tell it to your children and your children's children. :)

God's Power Pill for Church Chicks
Good morning, Church Chicks!
As a God follower, our ability to face life's situations with power and not weakness doesn't depend on us. Rather, we are given God's power and strength to hold on with strong faith and to continue to trust and serve Him no matter what circumstances are around us. God will cause us and empower us to have success and rise up above the situation when we operate in His strength and not our own.
He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength... but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be wear, they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:29,31
When we give our impossible situations over to God, He releases us from our human efforts and struggling to solve our problems in our own strength and LIFTS US ABOVE them through HIS POWER AND STRENGTH Power Pill. Impossible situations turn into HIMPOSSIBLE victories. Praise Him in advance, Church Chicks, no matter what you are walking through today.
Lord, we praise You for all You are and what You do to empower our lives to live for You. Please cause us to remember that the battles are Yours and to walk in Your power and strength today and not our own. Help us to influence others with a quiet, faith-filled spirit that brings honor to You and blessing to others. In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen!
Have a power pilled day, Church Chicks :)

In His Grip
"Fear not, for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10.
What are you facing in your day today? Do you have concerns that stress you when you think about them? There is a promise here, and it's a big one: God has us in His grip. We are being upheld with God's righteous right hand. His command to us is to stay out of fear - not because we don't have anything to be stressed and worried about. Rather, because God is God. He's the boss. He gives us His strength, and He promises us His help. We need to get a grip because He, the Creator of the Universe, has a grip on us. How awesome is that, Church Chicks?
Lord, help us to not get into fear or stress over our problems, but to remember that You are in control as we yield our lives to You. Your strength and help can be relied on. We rest in the grasp of Your right hand and we trust You with our life situations. Take them, Lord, and give us Your peace in their place. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Look for someone to encourage today, Church Chicks. Then tell your story to encourage other Church Chicks on our Facebook page :)

Peace for Today, Church Chicks ;)
Our second child, Jenni Joy, has six beautiful children with another one on the way. Jenni has always been a sweet person even from infancy and almost always has a spirit of peace about her. Now pregnant with her seventh as she homeschools her four that are school age, I saw the secret of her continuing to keep her peace in life even in the midst of her increasingly hectic days. On her windowsill sits these framed words: "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You because He trusts in You." Isaiah 26:3
I wonder how many times a day she gazes at those words and depends on the truth and encouragement they give her to stay in peace as her busy household swirls around her...
When we trust in the Lord and keep our minds fixed on Him, He will KEEP us in perfect peace. No matter how hectic and uncertain (solar flare interference coming today :/) the world around us gets, Church Chicks, we can stand in peace because our trust isn't in our circumstances, but in the Lord of Lords, our salvation!
Lord, we praise You today and determine to keep our eyes and mind on You today. You will keep us in perfect peace through today's problems and daily duties. We thank you, Lord, that we are yours and You are ours. In Jesus' Name, Amen
Have a peaceful day, Church Chicks!

Roses in the Desert for Church Chicks!
When the Kingdom of the Lord is present in our lives, God will bring life into the barren, waste places we are experiencing. "The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose; it shall blossom abundantly and rejoice." Isaiah 35:1,2a
No matter what you are facing today, no matter how long you have been facing dryness and not experiencing answers to your prayers, your desert WILL blossom and not just a little, but abundantly with rejoicing as you allow the Lord to increasingly increase His Kingdom in your life. God will make all things beautiful in His time and in your life as you yield your will to His.
What is your desert situation in need of God's abundance? Let's put it in the Lord's hands and speak these words over it. When you get your answer, be sure to let us know so we can rejoice with you!
My desert situation: Our son Jon's financial situation. For his music studio business to get more students and for his career to blossom :) Lord, I thank you that you will cause Jon's employment and career to blossom abundantly like a rose and cause us all to rejoice in your miracle in his life and career. In Jesus' name, Amen
Pray for your roses with this scripture then list your desert situation so we can all pray for each other, Church Chicks! Roses are soon to be delivered to you!
