Today I offer a prayer for connection. I’m not sure about you, but lately I’ve felt a little disconnected from people outside of my household. Part of our calling is to love our neighbors, and we cannot do that without building / restoring / maintaining connection. Father God, our Loving and Compassionate Lord, You are…

A Prayer for Reconciliation from Prejudice
Yesterday I challenged us to invite God into revealing any prejudice within us, in the hope that would move us toward internal cleansing, and external reconciliation with those against whom we have (unintentionally) distorted views. Today I offer a prayer along those lines. Father God, our Loving and Compassionate Lord, Your heart toward reconciliation is…

A Prayer for Guarding Our Tongues
Today I offer a prayer for wise speech and holding one’s tongue. We looked at this concept the other day, and it’s something I consistently struggle with.

A Prayer for Perseverance and Steadfastness
Today I offer a prayer for perseverance and steadfastness. Life has a way of throwing us curveballs, yet with God our rock and firm foundation we can stand firm in any unforeseen circumstances. Father God, our Glorious Lord and King, we stand humbly in Your presence. We acknowledge that we are weak, and we face…
A Prayer for Help
Today I offer a prayer for help. I often find myself (out of pride) thinking “I can do it all on my own”. The truth is, God designed us to be dependent on Him, and His people. Let’s humble our hearts and acknowledge the way God made us. Father God, our Glorious and Gracious Lord,…
