Shattering Rocks in Prayer



I downloaded a new app for my Asus Eee Pad Tablet and I’m having so much fun with it.   I chose a Bible Study program in the New American Standard version.  Several in our family currently face hard times and I found some significant scripture verses that not only bring into play but lend power to my intercession for them.

Do you need strength and want to declare victory over your life today?  Then these are for you too!

For by you I have run through a troop;
and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
Psalm 18:29


May they praise God while they hold a two-edged sword in their hand,
in order to take revenge on the nations, and punish foreigners.
They bind their kings in chains, and their nobles in iron shackles,
and execute the judgment to which their enemies have been sentenced.
All his loyal followers will be vindicated.    Praise the Lord!  Psalm 149: 6-9


"Behold, I have made you a new, sharp threshing sledge with double edges;
 You will thresh the mountains and pulverize them,
 And will make the hills like chaff.  Isa 41:15


For the Lord GOD helps Me, Therefore, I am not disgraced;
Therefore, I have set My face like flint, And I know that I will not be ashamed. 
Isa 50:7

And here’s my favorite:

"Is not My word like fire?" declares the LORD, "and like a hammer which shatters a rock?  Jer 23:29

  1. Beautifully written, Mary. Thank you so much for the verses you shared! I love how we can easily identify our own personal battles as "the wicked", etc. The Holy Spirit makes those verses come alive as comfort and strength for us as we read God's precious Word.

We Have This Day

  A friend noticed Cowboy Church off of Dry Creek Road in West Sedona yesterday morning as he drove past and told me the parking lot was bulging with cars from everywhere.  "Something big was going on!  He said." "Yes I replied; I was there and I want to tell you all about what happened." I glanced over the highly attended sanctuary as the first speaker approached to speak.  He introduced himself as a pastor from the state of Washington but he was also my bestie's nephew.  His engaging  eulogy of the life of his cousin, Ashley, gripped me.  He helped all of us understand and trust God when we want to scream "She was so young.  What about her widower husband now who loved her with all his heart?  What about their two-year old boy who misses his mommy?"  There are days we just don't understand God's ways.  But I am at peace to know Ashley is finally pain free and lives in Paradise. I glanced at her mom, Maureen, my best friend now for...

Spiritual Sundays ~ Wedding Anniversary

I remember when we sold one of our homes to a dancer who starred in one of the popular TV programs from the sixties. She decided to move to her Sedona property. She shared many things with me about Hollywood during each phase of the construction like when she dated Elvis. Personally, I’ve never been an Elvis fan, so I wasn’t impressed if he was a good kisser or not. The dancer married several times but now she found the dream man and now wanted the dream home. During one of her visits to my office, I was celebrating a wedding anniversary. I was taken aback when she asked me a personal question. What is the secret to a long- lasting marriage? I replied: “respect.” Ephesians 5:33 says” each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. Women want to be loved and men want to be respected. Sounds simple right? Ask any married couple. It is not easy to do. Our 39th wedding anniversary is today! We are still working at this Biblical principle!...

Spiritual Sunday

Psalm 91 1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” A big thank you to you friends who prayed for me today. I arrived safely in San Diego. Your prayers were strengthening, I'll tell you, when I got into the city and four lanes of traffic merged into another four lanes and I had to make sure I was on the correct route. I couldn't have done it without the Lord's help through your prayers and Amy's calm co-piloting! When we began our road trip this morning and entered our first interstate at about 4:45 a.m. it was pitch black out. We followed a big semi with the back panel of his truck lit up with these words: Jesus is Lord . I thought this was worthy of a Spiritual Sunday post!
