I’m worn out and weak today. Battling in prayer all week for the unborn and fighting with words on my blog is tiring. This is war you know. This is where battles are won. Intercessory prayer is a battleground. I feel it. I knew this before I started posting about abortion this week. I didn’t care. I had to go forward and attack the enemy. I stepped willingly into war.
Today I accept my physical weakness as part of the fight. But I will not shut up or stop pleading for mercy and healing and change. I cannot. I will not. After all, soldiers have a duty to fulfill. They are committed to the cause of freedom. They train for moments like these. I know I’ve been called to fight and so I will each time God tells me to. As long as I have breath, I will face the bloody battle head on. Because I know who’s on my side. GOD, the Most High. I will put on my armor and enter the fields prepared for whatever comes my way.
I’ve fought hard all week. However today is not a day for battle. Today a rest is needed. All soldiers must refuel and prepare again for the next attack. I’ve done my part this week. I sense I can take a day off. These are my orders. Commander’s orders.
So this morning I’m in a secret place, comforted by my Prince of Peace. Knowing He is near. Listening to His whispers of love. Tending to my physical need of restoration. Trusting He heard my cry for LIFE. Believing God has a redemptive plan in all of this. I am content. At peace. Thankful.
This week God spoke to me with these words, “I stand guard over you. No weapon formed against you will prosper.”
Thank you, Father God!

Thank you for reading my posts about abortion all week. I know it’s not easy stuff. It’s ugly. Your support and prayers are much appreciated. ************************************************
Lord willing, I will add an amazing story on my blog soon. Maybe even today should the urge come. I have to call and interview this gal first. Her story of her son is worth sharing over and over. I pray I can get in touch with her soon and introduce you to her precious boy. A boy God created to shout out for life! He’s a miracle!
Dear Father God, thank You for giving us the opportunity to be soldiers in YOUR army. I pray that we will stand on guard and go to battle when we're called to. All glory & honor is given to YOU precious Jesus. I thank You for Tiffany and her heart. In Jesus' name, amen.
Rest in Him, today, friend….
Love you and your heart!
I pray you're getting the rest you need today. The battle is on our needs. I'm also feeling an urgency that we need to contact our elected officials and inform them of our position and how we want them to take a stand. First lifting up prayers to our Lord. Second, participating in a government that is suppose to be by the people and for the people. I pray many blessings for you!
Love & blessings in Christ-
Shonda
Tiffany,
I am thankful for all that you’ve posted this week. Your letter was beautiful.
You’re so right about this war that we’re fighting. Not only is the Lord on our side, but we battle together in this war!
May we continue beyond just S.O.H.L. month, to post our stories, to provide our knowledge of healing, and most importantly, continue to pray without ceasing for life!
My love,
Bonnie

Oh, I’m so blessed you are getting some rest.
As Twila Paris sings:
Unafraid because his armour is the best
But even soldiers need a quiet place to rest!!!
Love the song you have playing♥
Hey Tiffany,
No the song was by Leeland!! WOW!!
Have you seen that video of them singing it? Oh my…
Check it out!
Love you♥
Hi Tiffany!
Thanks so much for fighting. Also, what an awesome testimony of obdeience you painted this week as well!… you "go" when God says, "Go." And you do what comes most difficult for most to do… you rest when God says, "Rest." Beautiful servant. May you be blessed beyond the imaginable for your strong battle fought & won… In Christ there is ALWAYS victory!
Eph 3:20!!
I can't wait to meet this boy that you hope to introduce us to!
Have a good and blessed weekend!
In Him, Deanna
Great job Tiffany. I can’t wait to read your next post. But take today and rest up. You need it – the battle has just begun. Bless you my friend. Thanks for guest blogging.
Well deserved rest, Tiff. Praying for rejuvenation. Rest in Him.
Awesome looking blog! I like the Title too! Thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog. You don’t know how many times I’ve been called Tiffany since I moved south! I’ll be back:)
Tiffany:
I simply want to tell you today that I love you and that I appreciate your willingness and obedience to carry the torch of Jesus Christ and for the unborn so bravely this week and for all of the years that you’ve worn your grief.
You are a valiant warrior, and yes, even warriors need to rest. I’ve found myself so frustrated this week…
I wanted to write a “mean” post last night after O’bama’s signing of more legislation to release our $ overseas for funded abortions. It makes me sick inside. But after I threw it all out on paper, I simply deleted it and went to my knees in prayer with my husband.
I don’t know what else to do; I prayed for a restless wind to stir through Washington DC last night; for God to move the hearts of men and women to repentance for the heinous and grievious acts of willful sin. And I believe, Tiffany, that God will stir. I trust him enough for that. I wish I could trust him for more, but right now, I know that his Spirit is grieved and is moving through the halls of the White House on behalf of the unborn and the countless saints who are praying accordingly.
I pray that for myself, also…
for God’s restless stirring to keep me on my knees and on my toes for any open and willful sin that wants to exact its toll upon my heart and life.
Your life and your ministry and your words are not lived in vain. God has taken your ashes and blown them as he will by the wind of His Spirit (see my recent post). He can do it…He is doing it. Thank you for allowing him your ashes, my friend.
Rest in his hands this day.
peace~elaine
I pray sound rest for you my sister in Christ and dear friend.
I understand as I had to pull away Thursday and Friday to pray, cry before the Lord literally and lay out my anguish before Him concerning our unborn babies and the decisions that this new administration are making.
I couldn’t ‘write’ during those two days only answering prayer requests but not able to do blog messages. There comes a time when all soilders have to rest, refocus and regroup and gain energy for the continuation of their assignment and battle. Praise the LORD!!!
We’re in the right battle! We’re on the right side of the values fight! We’re on GOD’S SIDE and that’s the best place to be!
HALLELUJAH!!!
Love you and we look forward to your return to the front lines!
