Friday Prayer: Father, in Jesus name and by Holy Spirit - Thank You for your birth, life, suffering, death, burial, and resurrection. Thank you for Your promise to come again. Thank You for the Holy Spirit that seals me unto redemption. Holy Spirit, work in me to seek and access more of You. Thank You for bringing me back to You over and over & each day. Your Holy Word says that You have given me a Spirit, not of fear-but of power, love, & self discipline. Not by “self,” but by Your power. Help me access all You have for me today that You may be glorified. LORD, I can know that I brought nothing into the world and can take nothing out of it. I can know You control all, and own everything… and yet still struggle, strive & suffer operating on my own and opposite of what I know. Forgive me & help me to You and Your way today. Help all suffering in any way. Draw more to You. Use me and all that is Yours how You want this day. Remove all fear that comes from the delusion that I am carrying anything. You have it all, control it all and know the outcome. My selfishness & discontent are all born out of this delusion that I control anything or carry anything at all. Yes, there are tasks. I can’t just pray and sit. I am praying for wisdom and help to do the next right thing. So take me to it. Bless all here & all who need this journal prayer for themselves. I love You…help me realize in a powerful way how much You love me and others. I want to walk in Your love today in every way. Amen. ❤️🕊️🎚️🙏🏼

🆘SOS. SOS. 🆘 I feel helpless. I feel defeated. Rescue feels like a constant catch-22 sometimes. If you aren’t actively rescuing new dogs, people stop donating because they think nothing is happening. But when you are struggling just to meet the needs of the animals already in your care, how do you responsibly continue to say yes? How do you pull more dogs when you are worried about food, bills, flooding, vet care, and making sure the animals already here continue to receive the quality care they deserve? That is the part people don’t always see. Rescue is not just pulling a dog from a shelter. It is every single day after that. It is the feeding. The medications. The behavioral work. The cleaning. The vet visits. The sleepless nights. The worrying about what happens if donations stop coming in. And for us, these animals are not temporary. Many are sanctuary dogs. Last chance dogs. Dogs that truly have nowhere else to go. So while rescues all over the country are closing, we are sitting here terrified because closing is not really an option for us. What happens to the animals if we fail? I don’t have the answer right now. I just know we are trying our absolute hardest to keep going. If you can donate, share, or support us in any way, we would be beyond grateful. Donate: linktr.ee/laylasheartrandr
