🚨 WOW. Jaw-dropping moment as Tim Tebow shows US senators a map of America where people are downloading Child S*xual Abuse Material https://t.co/ICHMxz2Zsm

“Every red dot that is on there is someone that is downloading, sharing, or distributing it."

Tebow is in DC advocating for passage of the Renewed Hope Act of 2026

"We are losing the battle, and we are losing the war, and boys and girls are suffering for it [...] 55% to 85% of them are hands-on offenders, and we know that your average offender has 13 victims in their lifetime.”

Sickening to think about. Tebow is a good man for doing this!

@TimBallard Thank you Jesus for Tim, bless him Lord! We appreciate you standing up for the children! 💯🙏😇

Father of glory!

Let our worship be fueled not by guilt but by gladness.

Let our obedience be driven not by fear but by desire.

Let our sacrifice feel light because You are heavy with glory.

Let our lives say to the watching world that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.

Be our treasure.
Be our song.
Be our exceeding joy.

We choose You, not because we must, but because we want nothing less.

Father of glory,

You are not honored by hollow obedience, and You are not pleased with joyless duty. You are most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in You. So we come confessing that we have often tried to use You as a means to lesser pleasures, rather than receiving all pleasure as a gift that points back to You.

Forgive us for settling for broken cisterns that hold no water. Forgive us for grazing on distractions while the feast of Your presence stands open and untouched. Forgive us for thinking self denial means joylessness, when You have told us that losing our life for Christ is the only way to find it.

Awaken in us a holy hunger. Not the hunger for comfort, approval, or control, but the deep ache of the soul that knows nothing compares to You. Train our hearts to say with the psalmist, Whom have I in heaven but You, and there is nothing on earth I desire besides You.

Teach us to fight for joy. To put sin to death not merely because it is wrong, but because it steals our delight in You. To obey not to earn love, but because obedience is the pathway to deeper joy. Let us feel the weight of this truth, that every command You give is an invitation to happiness in You.

Make us a people who seek our pleasure where it is safest and strongest, in Your steadfast love. Let prayer become our delight, Scripture our feast, and worship our greatest satisfaction. Let suffering not drive us from You, but press us deeper into You, where joy is refined, not destroyed.

We want You, not what You give. And yet we thank You that in giving us Yourself, You give us everything. Be our treasure. Be our reward. Be our joy now and forever.

We ask this in the name of Jesus, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and opened the way for our everlasting delight.

Amen

Father in heaven,

We confess that we are too easily satisfied. We settle for nearness in theory while living at a distance in practice. We know Your name, we know Your words, but we drift from the joy of Your presence. Forgive us for being content with traces of You when fullness is offered.

Awaken in us a holy discontent, a longing that refuses substitutes. Break the power of lesser pleasures that dull our appetite for You. Teach us that communion with You is not a duty to be checked but a delight to be pursued, not a task to finish but a treasure to behold.

Draw us into the sweetness of abiding. Not fleeting moments of inspiration, but a settled, enduring fellowship where our souls are shaped by Your glory. Let prayer become the place where our hearts are reoriented, where our loves are reordered, where our joy finds its deepest root in You alone.

Strip away the illusion of self sufficiency. Make us desperate for You, gladly dependent, joyfully needy. Let us feel, deeply and truly, that apart from You we have no life, no light, no lasting hope.

Grant that communion with You would be the engine of our obedience, the fuel of our endurance, and the song beneath our suffering. May we come to You not mainly to escape pain or solve problems, but to see You, savor You, and be satisfied in You.

Bring us so near that sin loses its appeal and holiness becomes beautiful. So near that fear gives way to confidence, and distraction bows to delight. So near that our lives declare, without apology, that You are our greatest good.

We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Treasure, our Mediator, our Joy, who purchased our access and invites us to draw near.

Amen

Father God,

We come before You as Your children, not by our effort but by Your love. Thank You that You have called us Your sons and daughters, and that this identity is not fragile or temporary but rooted in Your truth.

Purify our hearts as we fix our hope on You. Where our hearts condemn us, remind us that You are greater than our hearts and You know all things. Give us confidence before You, not because we are perfect, but because we trust in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ.

Teach us to believe rightly and to love deeply, not in word or talk, but in deed and in truth. Let our lives bear witness that Christ lives in us, and that we abide in You by the Spirit You have given.

Keep us bold, obedient, and anchored in Your love.

In Jesus’ mighty name,

Amen

Father of light and truth,

We come before You acknowledging that You are faithful and just. We confess our sins honestly, without excuse or hiding, trusting Your promise to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Let Your light search us and expose anything in us that does not belong in Your presence.

Teach us to walk in the light as You are in the light, that our fellowship with You would be real, humble, and alive. Thank You that the blood of Jesus Christ Your Son continually cleanses us from sin.

Keep us from self-deception. Anchor us in truth. Let Your word abide in us, shaping our lives into obedience and joy. (I John 1)

Amen.

Jesus,

Quiet the noise within us and turn our eyes back to You. When our thoughts scatter and our hearts feel pulled in a hundred directions, draw us to what is true, steady, and eternal.

Center our minds on who You are, not on what we fear, not on what demands our attention, not on what we cannot control. Remind us that You are present, You are reigning, and You are enough.

Let Your words shape our thoughts. Let Your peace guard our hearts. Let Your Spirit guide our steps today.

We choose to fix our eyes on You, the author and finisher of our faith. Be our focus, our rest, and our strength.

In Your name, amen.

Holy and eternal God,

We lift our eyes beyond ourselves and behold the glory of Your Son, Jesus Christ. He is the radiance of Your glory and the exact imprint of Your nature. Before Him angels bow, creation holds together, and history finds its meaning.

Jesus, You are the Word made flesh, full of grace and truth. You stepped into our dust without surrendering Your divinity. You wore humility like a crown and obedience like a robe. At the cross, Your glory looked like surrender, yet heaven declared victory. The grave could not contain You. Death could not diminish You. You rose in power, crowned with everlasting honor.

We praise You as the Lamb who was slain and the Lion who reigns. You are exalted above every name, every throne, every age. All authority in heaven and on earth belongs to You. Your kingdom cannot be shaken. Your reign will never end.

Let the glory of Christ shape our hearts. Where we are proud, humble us by His gentleness. Where we are fearful, steady us by His sovereignty. Where we are distracted, fix our eyes on His beauty. May His supremacy reorder our loves, His mercy soften our hearts, and His truth anchor our souls.

Fill us with awe, not familiarity. With worship, not routine. With obedience, not delay. May our lives reflect His worth, our words proclaim His name, and our hope rest fully in His coming glory.

We confess that every good thing flows from Him, through Him, and to Him. To Jesus Christ be glory forever and ever.

Amen.

Father God,

You saw this day before it arrived. You knew the weight it would carry, the grief it would bring, the loss that woukd be felt in every quiet moment. Nothing about this day is hidden from You, and nothing about this pain is beyond Your care.

Your Word says You are near to the brokenhearted and You save those who are crushed in spirit. So I ask now, draw near. Not with explanations, not with answers that feel too heavy, but with Your presence. Let Your nearness be felt when strength runs thin and words fail.

Go before this day. Steady the heart that feels unsteady. Guard the mind when sorrow tries to overwhelm it. Give just enough grace for each moment, not all at once, but breath by breath, step by step.

Lord, be a refuge when tears come without warning. Be a shelter when memories ache. Be the gentle strength that carries what cannot be carried alone. Remind this soul that even in the valley of the shadow of death, You are here, Your rod and Your staff still comfort.

Hold what is being lost in Your hands. Hold what remains in Your mercy. And when the day feels too long, be the One who sustains until the night comes.

We trust You with this hard day, not because it is easy, but because You are faithful. You are our comfort, our portion, and our hope, even here. In Jesus’ conforting name,

Amen.

Father God, I call to You because You are the God of my righteousness, not because I have earned an answer, but because You are faithful to hear me (Psalm 4:1). You have made room for me before when I was pressed in on every side, and I trust that You are the same God now as You were then (Psalm 34:19). In the noise of my thoughts and the weight of my circumstances, steady my heart and remind me that my security does not come from outcomes, but from belonging to You alone (Psalm 62:5-6).

Guard me from chasing empty glory and believing lies that promise peace but cannot deliver it, and turn my heart back to what is true and lasting (Psalm 4:2, John 8:32).

Let the light of Your face shine on me, not merely changing what is around me, but transforming what is within me, because in Your presence there is fullness of joy and steadfast love that never fails (Psalm 4:6, Psalm 16:11, Lamentations 3:22-23). When anger, fear, or unrest rises in me, teach me to be still before You, to search my heart honestly in the quiet, and to surrender what You reveal, trusting that You work all things together for good for those who love You (Psalm 4:4, Romans 8:28).

I lay down my striving, my anxiety, and my need to control, casting every care on You because You care for me more deeply than I can comprehend (1 Peter 5:7, Matthew 11:28-29).

Today I rest in this truth, that You alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety, that Your peace surpasses my understanding, and that I can lie down and sleep because You are watching over me (Psalm 4:8, Psalm 121:3-4, Philippians 4:6-7). Amen.

Lord Jesus, we lift our voice to You with thanksgiving. You are the King who reigns and the Shepherd who stays near. You are the Word made flesh, faithful and true, the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. (Psalm 95:6, John 1:14, Revelation 22:13)

We praise You for mercy that met us in our weakness and grace that found us when we were far off. You carried our burden to the cross, You bore our sin without complaint, and You rose in power that cannot be shaken. (Romans 5:8, 1 Peter 2:24, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4)

The heavens declare Your authority, the earth rests under Your rule, and every breath we draw is held together by Your will. You command the morning, You steady the night, and nothing moves outside Your hand. (Psalm 19:1, Colossians 1:16-17, Job 38:12)

Thank You for forgiveness that is complete, for righteousness that is not earned, for peace that stands guard over our hearts. You are patient when we wander, firm when we resist, and gentle when we are broken. (Hebrews 10:14, Romans 3:22-24, Philippians 4:7, Isaiah 42:3)

You are Lord over our days and Lord over our future. Our lives belong to You, our strength comes from You, our hope rests in You alone. Let our words honor You, let our choices reflect You, let our obedience rise like incense before Your throne. (Romans 14:8, Philippians 4:13, Colossians 1:27, Psalm 141:2)

We will bless Your name in the valley and on the mountain. We will trust You in silence and in song. For Yours is the kingdom, Yours is the power, and Yours is the glory forever. (Psalm 34:1, Habakkuk 3:17-19, Matthew 6:13)

We give thanks to You, Jesus our Lord, now and always. Amen. (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

Lord Jesus, Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, You who stand outside of time and yet walk with us in it, we lift our eyes to the promise You placed at the end of the story. You say, “Behold, I am coming soon,” not as rumor or metaphor, but as a sure and settled reality, and so we pray, come quickly, Lord Jesus.

Let the river of the water of life flow again in us, clear as crystal, washing away our weariness, our compromise, and our dull hearts that have grown accustomed to delay. Let us drink deeply, not from broken cisterns, but from the life that only You give.

Heal what has been touched by sin, bent by sorrow, and marked by fear, and let the leaves of Your tree bring healing to our homes, our minds, our memories, our nation, and Your church.

Remove every veil and let us see Your face, let Your name be written on our foreheads, not as a symbol but as ownership, because we belong to You, we were bought, redeemed, and made for this kingdom. Teach us to live like people who believe the end is certain, keep us faithful in the waiting, holy in a world that loves shadows, and awake as the hour grows late.

Strengthen the tired, steady the tempted, call home the wandering, and stir again in us the cry of heaven. Let the one who hears say come, let the thirsty come, let the broken come, and let grace carry us all the way home, until faith becomes sight and hope is fulfilled.

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

Father God,

We lift our eyes to the promise You revealed, a new heaven and a new earth, where the former things have passed away and Your glory fills all things.

You are the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. You make all things new. When our world feels fractured, worn down, and heavy, anchor our hope in what You have already declared finished.

Thank You that You dwell with Your people. Thank You that You are not distant or detached, but present, near, and faithful. You wipe away every tear from every eye. You see the grief we carry, the losses we have buried, the pain we do not speak aloud. And You promise a day when death will be no more, when mourning and crying and pain will vanish forever.

Lord, give us the courage to live now in light of that future. Help us drink deeply from the water of life when we are thirsty, not from the broken wells of this world. Teach us to endure as sons and daughters who know the inheritance is secure.

Cleanse our hearts from fear and compromise. Shape us into a people who long for holiness, who desire Your presence more than comfort, and who walk by faith when sight fails us.

Let the hope of Your coming kingdom steady our steps, soften our hearts, and strengthen our resolve. Until the day You make all things new in fullness, keep us faithful, awake, and anchored in Your promises.

Come quickly, Lord Jesus.

Amen.
