A Prayer for the Day

Oh God, help us to recognize you above all else at the start of each day. So, enhance our hearts' eyes so that we can see you and recognise how you're at work in our lives. Give us wisdom to make the best decisions, and fill us with a desire to search you more than anything else in this world.

Allow your spirit and power to breathe in and through us once more, fresh and new. Thank you for being more powerful than any of the challenges we face today. Thank you for being with us and for your joy, which is not dependent on our circumstances, but is our true and lasting strength no matter what we face. We ask for your peace to guide us and to keep our hearts and minds safe in you. Lord, we adore you and we require your assistance. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

A Prayer Against Distractions

As I begin this day, remind me that I am yours, and my desire is to act accordingly. Keep my feet from stumbling and my mind from becoming distracted. That could take precious time and energy away from the most important things you've planned for me.

Lord, I'm honored to be your child. And I'm thankful that you died for me, rising again on your own new morning, so that every day can be filled with the amazement of your love, the liberty of your spirit, and the pleasure of knowing you.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against ...

Wait upon the LORD

Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...
