Daily Prayer

The Comfort that God Knows

Exodus 2:23-25 (NLT)

²³ Years passed, and the king of Egypt died. But the Israelites continued to groan under their burden of slavery. They cried out for help, and their cry rose up to God. ²⁴God heard their groaning, and he remembered his covenant promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. ²⁵He looked down on the people of Israel and knew it was time to act.

Father as I think about life and the various experiences we all encounter on a daily basis, I am so glad that you hear our prayers, remember your promises, see our needs, know our concerns and understand when it is the appropriate time to intervene. Therefore Father, help us to remember the encouragement of Lamentations 3:25-26 (HCSB) “²⁵The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the person who seeks Him. ²⁶It is good to wait quietly for deliverance from the LORD.”

Thank you for such personal and compassionate care. In the Name of your beloved Son our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Corona School Year Beatitudes

Blessed are the teachers, for they are being asked to teach in the classroom, while also teaching virtually, while also handling children who haven’t had a semblance of normalcy in six months, while also risking their own lives, while also juggling balls that are on fire, while underpaid and blindfolded.

Blessed are the families, for they shall have to choose the least sucky choice between choices that ALL suck real real bad.

Blessed are they who make the plans, for they shall be condemned publicly by every jerk with an internet connection and a subpar grasp of the rules of grammar and human decency.

Blessed are the janitors, for we all know how hard it is to clean up after our own kids and this is like that except times a hundred and if they miss a spot people might die.

Blessed are the school nurses, for they shall have offices full of kids who don’t know if their cough means they have a harmless cold or a scary virus.

Blessed are the working parents, for they shall stretch themselves thinner than ever to try to get it all done, all while feeling like they have failed in every way possible.

Blessed are the stay at home parents, for they shall wear so many hats their heads will be too heavy to hold, all while feeling like they have failed in every way possible.

Blessed are the homeschoolers, for they shall take on ALL the responsibility during a global pandemic when even small responsibilities feel overwhelming and getting through the day should be considered a victory.

Blessed are the children, for they are loved enough for us to do all of this, even when we don’t know how we are going to. ♥️

Amen

for peace after suicide

God of hope, we come to you in shock and grief and confusion of heart. Help us to find peace in the knowledge of your loving mercy to all your children, and give us light to guide us out of our darkness into the assurance of your love, in Jesus Christ our Lord.

God our strength and our redeemer: you do not leave us in this life nor abandon us in death. Hear our prayer for those in despair, when days are full of darkness and the future empty of hope. Renew in them your sustaining strength for we believe that there is nothing in all creation that can separate us from your love in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Merciful God, hear the cries of our grief, for you know the anguish of our hearts. It is beyond our understanding and more than we can bear.

Amen

Nothing like prayer....

There is nothing quite like prayer to calm our spirits.

There is nothing quite like prayer to bring peace to a situation.

There is nothing quite like prayer to refresh our minds and souls.

Simply put...

There is nothing like spending time in the presence of our God.

He makes all things right. All things new. All things perfect.

Take time to fall facedown and cry out to our Maker and Creator. And Giver of all good things.

“Blessed be the LORD God.....who alone does wonders.” (Psalm 72:18)

Amen

IN MY HEART

Psalm 2:1-3 "Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But delight in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields it fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers."

Psalm 119:11 "I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against You."

My Father, You have said "store up my commands within you. "So I will feast daily on Your Word and hide it in my heart. Then in the day of trouble when I am far to weak and tempted, I will recall Your instructions. They will be to me as spiritual food to nourish my soul and give me strength for the battle.
