Today I offer a prayer for those who are in need of comfort. All of us encounter heartache in this life. It’s inevitable in this broken, sin-scarred world. Fortunately, God promises healing and comfort to His people. Father God, our Lord of Healing and Comfort, You are our Great Physician and Friend. Thank you for…

Today I offer a prayer of encouragement for serving others. Since people are made in the image of God, when we serve our neighbors, we’re also serving God (in case we don’t clue in to this truth, God also commands us to love our neighbors, and love is a verb / action). I know humility…

Today I offer a prayer for rest. I’m not sure about you, but I find the older I get, the more important it is to rest. Rest is a gift from God; exhaustion is part of this broken world’s curse. Let’s praise the Lord, our provider and sustainer, and seek His rest out of obedience…

Today I offer a prayer for bitterness – or rather a prayer for forgiveness, the antidote of bitterness. Bitterness, that deep-rooted disdain we harbor against someone, colors our perspective and encourages us to see them through a distorted lens. If we’re not careful, unresolved bitterness can become full-blown hatred for someone, and that is not…

Today I offer a prayer for consistency. I’m not sure about you, but I sometimes struggle with consistency. For example, there are days where I miss spending time with God, or perhaps I act / speak in a way that is not consistent with how Jesus would act / speak. I have good moments of…

Today I offer a prayer for seeking God wholeheartedly. It’s so easy to only seek God when we “need Him”, or in simple/shallow/ritualistic way. It’s harder, though far more meaningful, to seek Him wholeheartedly – praying unceasingly, following the Spirit’s moment-by-moment guidance, and radiating the love of Jesus in every situation are just some of…

Today I offer a prayer for extending grace to others. From time to time, I find myself frustrated with others. When I get that way, I try very hard to remember that God and Jesus extend grace to me when I don’t deserve it, and if I want to be Christlike, I should do the…

Today I offer prayer for poverty of our spirits. That may sound odd, but God encourages people to have a contrite, humble, sometimes even a completely broken, spirit. When we are “poor of spirit”, we are far more reliant on God, and less reliant on ourselves / the world. This is a good type of…

Today I offer a prayer of gratefulness for who God is, and what He has done for us. To name everything about God and His works would take us a lifetime, so of course, this prayer will not be exhaustive (or I would be exhausted before finishing). Father God, You who made us, our Creator…

Today I offer a prayer for prioritizing God first in our lives. I personally struggle with this every single day. You may think I have mastered this since I spend time in scripture / prayer regularly, however, these morning devotions are often where my daily time with God ends. I pray that I learn to…
