And for all of you (bloggers or otherwise) I wondered if I might ask a favour of you? Would you please keep me in your prayers, particularly in these upcoming weeks? While I’m excited to be launching a book with Thomas Nelson, my emotions run wild at times. This book is intimate, it’s raw, and it’s real. And in just a few short weeks it will be out there for everyone.
My prayer is that God will equip me with strength for the journey. I ask for the humility to put myself aside so that He can shine through me. I pray that each and every woman who picks up this book will walk away feeling hungry for nothing but God.
I pray for the insecurities I have as a writer. I can’t write. I’m an English flunky. But another voice reminds me that I have a God who is ready and willing to equip those He calls. Lord help me to listen to that voice.
I’m just a cracked vessel held together by grace.
I’d appreciate your prayers. I know that each and every time I have a prayer team supporting me, I’m strengthened, refreshed, and equipped. I need that right now, more than anything.
If you would consider praying for me, please leave a comment simply saying, “I’ll pray.”Â
You are loved by an almighty God,
Darlene Schacht
The Time-Warp Wife
Yes, absolutely I will pray…all ready did :0)
Have a great weekend.
Praying for you, Darlene! Specifically against your feelings of insecurity – those doubts you have are a lie straight from the devil. Your writing has touched me, personally, because you write from your heart, which is a heart that seeks after God!!

Darlene,
A friend introduced me to you this past year and I can’t count the times you have spoken directly to me and encouraged my marriage. I am reminded to lean hard into Jesus and trust Him – never myself. The respect and admiration I hold for my husband has grown like never before in our 23 years of marriage.
Thank you for being available to women like me who need encouragement and a constant reminder that life is all about God, not me. Thank you for helping me stay aligned with scripture.

I’ll pray. We all feel that we fall short in some way or another. However, God does not want us to be perfect. He just wants us to listen to Him and do what He calls us to do. You are doing just that. You are doing what He has called you to do. There is a reason for your book, I am sure that many lives will be touched, just because of your obedience to Him.
Praying for you.
I am praying for you.

Dear heavenly father, I pray for Laurie’s husband. Please bring healing to him. Even now as I write this I’m unsure of how things are going, but you know, Lord. You are the great physician who equips doctors, who steadys the hands of surgeons, and gives wisdom to scholars. May your Spirit move freely through his hospital room and may he be returned home safely.
I did prayed for you and GOD bless you and make you a blessing to others with more books to come.

Amen!
I have already lifted you in prayer and will continue to do so. God is using you and will continue to do so. Just surrender and trust. I’ve recently struggled with insecurities, and He has been pointing out other insecure people in the Bible that He called. For example, Moses couldn’t speak and felt totally incapable of doing what God called him to do. So, don’t let the enemy throw that dart of insecurity at you. You are a blessing to all, and I thank you for your work. May God bless you and refresh you.
Such a good reminder, Kimberly. Thank you!
Lifting you in prayer. May God be honored and glorified through each word. And thanking in ahead of time for all He will and can do.

Thinking of and praying for you today! Thank you for being humble and open with your readers. I’m looking forward to your book! Lifting you up in prayer…..
I am praying for you. As I read that you flunked English, I was reminded of the many who wrote the Bible, I am not sure many were scholars, except Luke. His Words were breathed into those men and women, and I believe He did the same for you! God’s Blessings on this journey!
I’ve never thought of that before. That is really, really cool.
I’ll pray

Love to be a prayer warrior for your journey. God bless you.
Lord, I ask for support, strength, and wisdom: For Darlene, for the bloggers, for the readers, and the visitors. I ask that the Time Warp Wife and other sites continue to be a place to gather for those who need support, love, and a better understanding of what You gave to all of us. Sometimes we forget (or need another way to think of things), and these sites, books, and comments help us to know we are not alone in our thoughts.
I thank You greatly for the presence of these women, and pray that they know how much they are loved and appreciated.
I prayed for you.

Hello Darlene, I know about being an ‘English flunky’ which is why it is boldly acknowledged in my ‘About Page’ that I’m not a writer!
Well, God is–and I trust that He will always use every of our ‘flunkies’ to fill the hearts of those who read what we trusted God and wrote.
Praying for you. May God continue to show Himself strong and unlimited for you.
I”ll Pray.

Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

I have a little reminder on my pinboard for my family (and me!) …I’m sure you’ve seen it around the web somewhere yourself… ‘THINK’
T – is it true?
H – is it helpful?
I -is it inspiring?
N – is it necessary?
K – is it kind?
I believe a lot of prayer and thought has gone into this book. It speaks truth, it will help, it will inspire, it’s definitely necessary and you always have a kind word 🙂
Praying for you!
May the Lord be glorified in everything you say and do. He is so mighty and merciful. Peace and strength for your heart!
I’m praying!

God Bless You!
