I’ve been a little dry in the joy department for the last several weeks… This morning, I offer a prayer to refresh joy in our lives. I find one of the best ways to do this is to pray through a psalm or two (or three, depending on just how dry I feel…). Father God,…

Today I offer a prayer for active obedience and passive obedience toward God. Active obedience involves following God’s commands to do (or not do) something (actionable directives). Passive obedience is total submission to God and His will, which usually entails enduring great trials. Jesus exhibited both forms of obedience flawlessly. Most of us won’t be…

Today I offer a prayer for combatting apathy (what the Bible calls being lukewarm) – lacking passion and zeal for the Lord and His will. It’s easy for us to call ourselves Christ followers, yet we can become complacent and lack any real kingdom influence. We’re not intentionally disobeying God, yet we can become lazy…

Today I offer a prayer for remembering God in our troubles. Sometimes I find it easy to remember God during trying periods, other times I seem to (unfortunately) ‘forget Him’. Let’s strive to always remember our Lord Jesus, at all times, and in all seasons of life. He will rescue us from our sinful flesh…

Today I offer a prayer for perseverance under trial. We frequently face difficulties in life. Every struggle has the opportunity to draw us nearer to God (our best option) or make us more bitter and indignant toward Him (Satan’s goal). So many things are beyond our control, but one thing that remains within our control,…

Maybe I’m misunderstanding, though it seems many in the church today, including entire congregations, are being misled by the enemy / world (this isn’t new, Paul wrote letters to such churches). None of us are immune to Satan’s attempts at deceit, and unfortunately, many are unintentionally fooled by his lies. Today I offer a prayer…

Today I feel a little drained and dull in my spirit, so I offer a prayer of praise to our Awesome God, who is mighty in deed. Praising God brings me joy and a refreshed spirit, and I’m hoping it does the same for You. Father God, we shout for joy and sing glory to…

Today I offer a prayer for comfort during times of affliction. I know many people right now who are in dire need of the Lord’s comforting presence. This comfort may come directly from Him, though people often receive God’s comfort and support through Christ’s followers (us). Let’s be a gentle comfort to those who are…

Today I offer an advent prayer of joy in Christ. It’s a challenge (or impossibility) to find a deep sense of joy from this world, since there is so much brokenness (due to our sin). True joy (which is deep-rooted, not a surface happiness) can only be found in God. Let’s strive to have deep,…

Today I offer an advent prayer celebrating the love of Jesus and His love within us. Father God, our Glorious Lord and Everlasting King, You are truly Love. All that You do and all that You say is an expression of Your love for us. You love us so much that You sent Your only…
