‘Jesus turned, and seeing her He said, ‘Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.’ And instantly the woman was made well.’ ~ Matthew 9:22, ESV
“Be strong and courageous [take heart]. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” ~ Deuteronomy 31:6, ESV
“Wait for and confidently expect the Lord;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for and confidently expect the Lord.” ~ Psalm 27:14, AMP
“Take Heart, Daughter,” I hear You Say
Father, You are my Beloved, and I am Yours. You love me with an everlasting love. You care for me so completely, healing my brokenness, and replacing my dread with peace. You often remind me to “Take heart, daughter,” and I try … truly, I do.
But some days I don’t walk in the victory that is mine.
I need Your help. You promise that when I am weak, You will be strong. I know Your eyes roam to and fro across the earth looking for those who love You, who need to be encouraged. That’s me, Lord. Life has been very hard lately, the battles fierce.
I have battle fatigue.
“Take heart, daughter,” I hear You say. O Lord, make me brave to endure. Make me strong to persevere through the storm. I’m tired. I’m weak and I am worn.
But I am not alone, for You are with me. Your presence is like a healing balm to my hurting heart. Lift high my shield of faith, Lord, and set my eyes on You.
I am strong.
I am more than a conqueror.
You Are My Beloved, and I am Yours
I will take heart and be of good courage because I am Your daughter. Your love will never fail me.
In the Name of Jesus, I pray,
Amen ~ let it be so

Mary Ann, thank you so very much for praying for me and encouraging me in this journey of ministry. As the launch for my book, The Offering: How to Emerge from Shattered Faith, draws nearer, the battle has grown more fierce. But our God is greater, amen? I cherish your prayers for my husband who has dementia, and for my family who are being assaulted on the daily. Sweet blessings to you, Nan
I agree with Mary Ann Whitson, (beautiful prayer) May our precious Lord always bless and guide you in the safe harbor of His love. Faithful is He and faithful is He to perform His word. Blessings to you always dear Nan. I pray that He continues to strengthen you and that He pours a fresh touch of His power and glory. As Mary Ann has said in her comment, thank you for your transparency in helping many in the body of Christ, to give Jesus their broken hearts to be healed and restored. ❤️
Oh my goodness! Thank you Grace. Y’all are blessing me so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I am praying for and with you, Nan. Your daily prayers on Facebook are so beautiful and uplifting. I pray God uses them to encourage YOU as well. Blessings and Cyberhugs!
Bless your sweet heart. Thank you. This is an answer to my prayer. The Lord has either carried me through those emotions and adversity, or I’m going through it right now. I’ve asked Him to use my emotional pain and my discovery of His Presence, especially in those times, to help others. I’m encouraged to know that you, too, have been ministered to.
