Besides myself, I don't know who else this is for, but God has placed it heavily on my heart to post this message and prayer for somebody who needs some encouragement. Whoever you are, I hope you get this!!
We all have a valley of dry bones in our life. That place that looks hopeless, lifeless, dead and dry. Often it looks so bad that we're not even sure whether we wouldn't be wasting precious time praying over it. After all, how can anything come out of such a desolate situation? It's really hopeless, right?
Let me encourage you today.
In Ezekiel 37, The Lord took Ezekiel into a valley of dry bones and asked him whether these bones could live. Interpretation: "Do you have faith in Me and what I can do?"
Ezekiel responds; "Lord, only You know whether these bones can live."
Interpretation: "Yes, Lord, I have faith. You are God and can do all things as You see fit."
Then the Lord instructs Ezekiel to speak to the dry bones, giving him the words to say, and miraculously, a lifeless, hopeless situation, is brought back to life in the most unbelievable way. The bones come together, they stand up, muscle and skin cover them, and the breath of life from the nostrils of God brings them to life!
The Lord has instructed me to tell you, that you are to stand in faith in the middle of your personal valley of dry bones, and prophesy over it. Don't call it what it is, call it what you want it to be, what you know God can make it. The Word of God says that "the just shall live by faith."-Habakkuk 2:4. Be still, and watch God work a miracle all around you.
Heavenly Father,
I Thank-You for the privilage of bringing a word of encouragement to your daughters. We all have areas in our lives that bring us great heartache, confussion, and pain. Yet we are determined to stand on Your promise, that "the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much."
Teach us to pray. Give us words to speak that will be in line with what You have for us. Let us not be in the flesh, but in Your will. Blow a wind of life in the areas where there is confussion, hurt, and lack. Revive us, as well as the situations and circumstances that are dying all around us.
We trust in You and have faith the size of a mustard seed, that You will do for us what You said You would do, and no matter what hell tries to send our way to discourage us, we will stand firm in our belief, (given to us by the Power and Might in the name of our Savior Jesus Christ), that You are The Sovereign Lord, and You reign over all. Nothing is impossible for You to do!
We Thank-You for fellowship, friendship, and love between us. We are grateful for a word, and stand in expectancy for a touch from You in every area of our lives where You see we need You to take over.
We pray this way, in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Who lives and reigns forever, Amen.
Be blessed, sisters! -Pebbles

Ezekiel 37:7-9
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
9 Then he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe into these slain, that they may live.' " 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feetâ€â€a vast army.
