Dear God,
We thank You for the gift of life, thank You for Your faithfulness & unfailing love. Lord, we commit this day into Your hands, let Your presence go with us in all we do, give us strength in every challenge, wisdom for every decision & peace in every situation. Amen
Heavenly Father, thank You for this morning, because some of us feel invisible in this current season, doing work nobody claps for, and You still counted it as worth waking us up for. Thank You for seeing what feels unseen.
Father, today we ask for peace about being unnoticed right now. Some of us are in a stretch that looks like nothing is happening, and it's harder than the busy seasons because there's nothing to show for the waiting. Help us trust that this counts too.
Father, it is written, "And David returned from following the sheep... and the Lord was with David." (1 Samuel 17:15, 18:14). He was anointed king and went right back to the sheep.
Father, You did it for David, letting him tend sheep in obscurity between the anointing and the throne.
Father, do it again for us. Let this quiet season be preparation, not punishment. In Jesus' name. AMEN.
Dear God,
Thank You for waking us up this morning. Lord, today we ask the spirit to move now, help us not wait until we feel ready & prepared. Mark 1:18 says, "immediately they left their nets & followed Jesus." Show us the exact thing we've been postponing & help us do it now.
Dear God,
Thank You for the gift of this new day, thank You for Your faithfulness, love and mercy.
Today, we ask for Your guidance, wisdom, and strength in all we do. Order our steps & align our actions with Your purpose. Fill our hearts with peace & our minds with clarity. Amen
When youโre upset, when your emotions are out of check and you feel that anger and want to pay someone back, thatโs when you have to put a guard on what you say. David said in Psalm 141, โGod, set a guard over my mouth. Keep watch over what I say.โ When youโre angry, thatโs a good time to say, โGod, I need Your help.โ
