Your Daily Prayer

Mercy is at the heart of the gospel, and as Christ followers, we should rejoice any time we are given opportunities to extend mercy and kindness to those who have sinned against us.

Choosing to be grateful to God can turn your confusion into trust. As you thank God for what he didn’t give you in the past, it becomes easier to trust him with what you’re praying for right now.

Imagine the beauty of this season if we embraced showing up without asking, speaking to effort and not just results, giving permission to not be okay, and praying for moms. Let’s be people who see the graciousness and compassion of our God and long to pour it out on others.

In troubling times, we can draw near to God and find comfort in His arms. Our heavenly Father is compassionate and understands sorrow, grief, anguish, and even regret when it comes to loving and caring deeply.

May we make an effort to remember the historical basis of our faith by reading the Bible––including the books that we might deem as less interesting or important––and apply what they teach in our lives.

As our nation celebrates the 250th anniversary of its birth, let us, as believers, put our denominational differences aside for a day, so that we may join together to pray for our country.

You might not be able to take away the hard things a mom in your life is walking through, but you can be the person who helps her find the joy that God is sowing in the middle of it through this prayer.

God is an expert at taking your messy, fatigued decisions and weaving them into his good plans. God is your Savior – not just from your sins, but from the stressful burden of having to be your own guide.

We may admire certain teachers and influencers online and even find many of their insights and suggested practices helpful. However, if we rely only on the second-hand nourishment of the faith of others, then our growth will wither.

Pride brings destruction and a falling away from God’s perfect ways, causing chaos and confusion. We must trust in the Lord with all of our heart, which should never be filled with more of this world or fleshly desires than God’s Word.

Choose to make the most of every day by living for God, loving others, and obeying the Bible. This will ensure your life is full of purpose, meaning, and the work of God.

Perhaps you find yourself praying small requests, because then God is more likely to answer. Jeremiah 33:3 encourages us not to limit God’s power to the extent of what we understand. God’s power far exceeds what we know.

If your soul is starved for stillness today, the Lord would love nothing more than your nestling up with him. Sitting still beside him in the safety and security of his refuge. Hearing his whispers of love, receiving his outstretched arms of comfort and care, and then lingering in his peaceful presence.

The next time you’re out of creative ideas, don’t settle for being stuck and frustrated. Don’t get discouraged, either. Instead, pray for help. Your Master Creator is ready to pour out a fresh batch of ideas. All you have to do is ask!

May we not lose hope when things within and without begin to fall apart, for the threadbare pieces are waiting to be renewed. We can wait with them, fixing our eyes on eternal promises that can never break or waste away.
