Today I offer a prayer for peace in Christ. This broken, sin-scarred world is anything but peaceful most times. Not only is there literal war, but there is also much emotional and spiritual brokenness that robs us of peace. Peace in our spirits and hearts is only available through Jesus, who offers peace and healing…

This week we’ll take a short break from Ezekiel and celebrate advent, a season of remembering Jesus’ first coming, and looking forward to His second coming. This seems appropriate because of the season, but also because a good chunk of Ezekiel addresses Jesus’ second coming (and His future millennial temple). Today I offer a prayer…

Today I offer a prayer to encourage overall health. We have multiple types of health and wellbeing including our physical body, our spirit / heart, and our mind. Our ‘being’ is the combined whole of these parts, so we can’t have ‘overall well-being’ without giving attention to all of these parts. It’s very easy to…

Honestly, I’m really struggling with focus this morning, so I’m going to keep it simple and pray a Psalm in my own words. Father God, our Rock, Fortress, and Deliverer, You are our strength and we love You greatly. We call upon Your name in our distress, for You are worthy to be praised, even…

Today is Remembrance Day / Veterans Day / Armistice Day – a day where we honor those who have served for the freedom, security, peace, and safety of others. Christ calls us to sacrificial love, a selfless love that seeks to meet the needs of others. I offer a prayer to thank all those who…

Today I offer a prayer for satisfying our hunger and thirst – not just physically, but spiritually as well. God longs to meet our needs, and the needs of others, if we are willing to partner with Him and truly love our neighbors. Afterthought: it seems to me the vast majority of passages refer to…

Today I offer a prayer for knowing God more deeply. In simplest terms, we get to know God the same way we get to know anyone – by investing time into the relationship. Let’s intentionally invest time in this most important relationship, daily, so we are better equipped for the trials of life. Father God,…

Today I offer a prayer for loving one another. There has been more senseless violence in the world this week, which is unfortunately a daily occurrence now. People are not loving each other the way God intended, and Jesus modeled. I pray that people would experience the love of Christ through His church, and learn…

Today I offer a prayer for reigniting our passion for scripture. There are days where I just can’t wait to get into my Bible and hear God’s words to me for that day. I admit there are also days where I don’t feel like reading my Bible, and can barely find the motivation to crack…

Today I offer a prayer for diligence in all that we do. Whether we’re working, resting, or playing, we’re called to do so diligently. This means putting in deliberate, careful, meaningful effort, and doing things in alignment with God’s commends. Let’s have attitudes like Jesus, full of purpose and determination to serve our Lord and…
