Your Daily Prayer

As you head into your vacation, try to leave your worries about home and work behind on purpose. If anxious thoughts follow you into your vacation, don’t panic or get frustrated with yourself. Just pray about all of your concerns, trust God to help you with them, and return your focus to the present moment.

Commemorating Memorial Day is vital to America’s future and to not forget our military men and women who served and fought for our country throughout the decades: to reflect on, remember, remind, and recognize the fight, the cost, the sorrow, and the sacrifices, how they have paid dearly with their lives, so that we may live and enjoy the blessings of freedom today.

The Holy Spirit is our Helper, and He will help you walk in God’s will. You don’t have to muster up your “faith muscles” to see that happen. You simply need to trust that God’s plan for your life will be accomplished, not because there is anything good in you, but because of His goodness and faithfulness!

We will all have tough times in this life, but we must turn to God when times become overbearing.

The closing of one chapter simply means another is about to begin; every ending is a new beginning. Our story is not over. And if the story isn’t good, God’s not done yet.

Rediscover the profound spiritual benefits of childlike play, which can refresh your soul and draw you closer to God. Embracing moments of pure joy not only enriches your own life but also serves as a powerful testament to God's goodness, inspiring hope in others.

We all have those dark, lifeless places where we think nothing good can happen. As we grieve these areas of life, may we, like Hannah, turn to the Lord in prayer.

Each day when you get out of bed in the morning, ask the Lord to help reveal any sin that is in your life. Ask Him to change your heart of hypocrisy to a heart of honesty.

Today, may we ask our great God for his help. May we humbly request the help of his people. May we petition the Holy Spirit to fill us with a clear and fortified mind and will. And then open our hearts to receive.

Christlike welcome of others is what Scripture calls us to do, not because we must as a checklist obligation, but because doing so reflects the heart of our Savior who lovingly bids us to come to Him despite our brokenness and sin.

Conviction, repentance, and discipline are all great gifts from our Father in heaven. He wants us to be honest with Him so that we can see real transformation happen in our lives, as He conforms us into the image of His Son.

We are so similar to the Twelve Disciples. When a storm comes upon us, we instantly doubt the Lord. Rather than doubting Jesus, we must trust Him. Just as He calms the roaring waters, He can also calm the storms of our lives.

The next time you're shining a light on something that you feel is imperfect about you, allow what you think is imperfect to instead be exactly what's needed in your layer or section of the masterpiece of God.

We have the Lord who calls us by name and declares we are His. We can regularly turn to that truth to remember our identity and find courage to walk by faith the road He has marked for us.

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.
