Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.   Mark  1:35 NIV   Hello Brave Hearted Steppers, When I think of rising up, for me it can mean many different things but, I will address two.  Rise up can mean to get up from your bed in the morning and begin your day bathed in the light of God ,  by going to Him as you begin your day.   The other can be to rise - up from adversity, when the winds from the storms of life have knocked you down, as you pray, prayer will begin to lift you out of the situation, be it sickness, or  other life challenges,  to the rock higher than your circumstances.   The Bible verse "soar like an eagle" appears in  Isaiah 40:31 , which says, "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary". The verse also says, "they shall mount up with win...

Hello Brave Hearted Steppers,  I hope the blog posts in the Rise Up & Pray series have been as much of a blessing to your lives as they have been to mine. Today, let's continue to dive into the Rise Up and Pray series! Maintaining a constant connection with God can be challenging in our fast-paced world, as it's easy to get distracted. However, through intentional practices and a heart devoted to prayer, we can rise up and stay in constant connection with God.  Here are some steps and life applications to help you deepen your relationship with God: 1. Start Your Day with Prayer Begin each day by dedicating it to God. Before you check your phone or dive into your to-do list, take a moment to pray. This sets a positive tone for the day and aligns your heart with God’s will.  “The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.” - Lamentations 3:22-23 (NLT) 2. Practice the Pause, Pray, Take ...

Hola Brave Hearted Steppers,  Cada uno de nosotros debemos saber que vivimos en un tiempo que no podemos dejar de orar. ¿Por qué orar? Cuando las personas escuchan la palabra orar en veces piensan que Orar es un acto de “debilidad’. - a veces el orgullo mismo los hace ver o pensar la gran mentira de “yo no necesito orar, yo se lo que tengo que hacer” o tengo las habilidades/talentos necesarios para hacer lo que tengo que hacer. - Sin embargo, que tan necesario es tener la dirección de Dios para poder hacer con efectividad lo que nos toca hacer, podemos tener o estar capacitados para hacer lo que es correcto, pero siempre necesitaremos la dirección de Dios, para saber cuál es Su tiempo y Su voluntad. Orar = es hablar con Dios, es la manera más efectiva y hermosa de conectarte con el Padre, del Único que te escucha, ama y responde conforme a Su voluntad, sabiendo lo que tu necesitas. Orar es un acceso a la verdad, a la sabiduría, a la protección, a la provisión, a la dirección, al de...

  Hello Brave Hearted Steppers! First, I’m so thankful to God for this opportunity to be able to share my heart with you through my first blog. When Maria asked me if I would consider writing something for the blog page-I was both, excited and honored. Quite honestly-even nervous. Then I read the topic title and asked the Lord, what should I share regarding my prayer life? And immediately the thought came to me. So here we go….. Last year, April 17th, 2023 I lost my beautiful daughter on her 37th birthday. That day was the worst day of my life! But, even though I was so broken, it was also the season that led me into Rise up and Pray. My prayer life has completely changed since that day forward. I used to pray before, but when you have suffered a loss of such magnitude-you will quickly learn to pray with your face to the ground. Your prayers become like King David’s prayer when the Lord sent word that his son will not live. 2 Samuel 12:16 NIV "David pleaded with God for the child....
