Prayer Starter - Sunday, May 11, 2025


Good Morning,

I have borrowed an acrostic prayer for Mothers. This came from Jennifer Flanders (https://lovinglifeathome.com/)

A Prayer for Mothers

M is for Ministry

Help Mom recognize motherhood for the high and noble calling it is. May she invest herself fully in training the next generation to love You, LORD, and to serve You wholeheartedly. Multiply her efforts, and extend her reach when she transitions into the role of an older woman, giving biblical counsel and wise instruction to younger wives and mothers. Deuteronomy 11:18-21; Mark 12:30-31; Titus 2:3-5

O is for Orderliness

LORD, I know You are a God of order. Help my mother reflect that part of Your character. For all time remembered, moms have had to juggle multiple responsibilities to keep home and family running smoothly. Help mine discharge those duties with joy and grace, doing everything in a diligent, orderly, and thorough way. 1 Corinthians 14:33, 40; Proverbs 31:10-24; Colossians 3:17, 23-24; Proverbs 21:5

T is for Testimony

God, make my Mom a model of virtuous womanhood. Keep her mindful of the fact that others are watching, particularly the children you’ve entrusted to her care. Grant her the wisdom, discernment, and understanding she’ll need to serve her family well. May she glorify You in all she does and point others to Jesus. Proverbs 2:6; 22:1, 31:25-31; Psalm 119:1-2; Hebrews 12:1; 1 Corinthians 10:31

H is for Help

LORD, You’ve called us to bear one another’s burdens. Open my eyes to ways I can help lighten my mom’s load. Two have a better return for their labor than one does alone. Don’t let pride keep Mom from asking for help when needed or accepting help when offered. Thank YOU for being an ever-present help in trouble & for supplying all we need. Galatians 6:2; Ecclesiastes 4:9-12; Matthew 7:7-8; Proverbs 29:23; Psalms 46:1; Philippians 4:19

E is for Endurance

God, equip my mother with all the patience she’ll need to do the work you’ve called her to do. Protect her against weariness in well-doing, reminding her of the good harvest that awaits if she doesn’t give up. Renew her strength and re-energize her, so that she can run with endurance the race you’ve marked out for her, keeping her eyes on Jesus. James 1:2-3; Galatians 6:9; Isaiah 40:31; Hebrews 12:1-2

R is for Relationships

Bless Mom’s relationships, LORD. Fortify her family ties. Provide friends who uplift & encourage her. Help her get along with colleagues and coworkers. Most of all, strengthen her relationship to You. Give her a love for Jesus that spills out on everyone she meets. Psalm 128:1-4; Proverbs 17:17; Mark 12:30-31

Dear Lord, I pray for all the mothers of our church that they may be blessed with strong relationships, have the endurance to run the race, to help others along the way, to give testimony in their daily walk.  Please guide her mission. Help us to remember to be thankful to You for our mothers.  In His Name, we pray,  Amen.

Today's Prayer Starter Good morning! As we begin this five day journey of praying specifically to build our relationship with God, let's start with a prayer of adoration. In Psalm 8 , David prays a prayer of adoration.  "O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babies and infants, You have established strength because of yor foes, to still the enemy and the avenger." You can read the entire Psalm, but this morning use David's prayer to help you tell God why you believe His name is majestic in all the earth.  Try it! Still need some help.  Here is my morning adoration prayer to God: O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!  You have given me a good night's rest, good health, and a desire to spread the love of Jesus today.  Walk with me O Lord and let your light shine from me today!

Prayer Starter - Thursday, June 26, 2025 Pray for a Helicopter

Good Morning, I hope you won't be offended, but I want to share an old joke with you that drives home an important point regarding what the Bible tells us about prayer and trusting in God. A religious man was trapped on the roof of his house during a bad flood. He prayed to God to save him. Before the waters were too high, a neighbor drove by and offered to take him in his truck before the water rose. He declined the offer and said "God will save me."  As the water rose, vehicles could no longer drive by and a Fire & Rescue crew came by in a boat. Again, an offer for rescue and again, the religious man said, he would wait upon the Lord.  Finally the water is destroying the house and it is near the lower levels of the roof. Another rescue attempt this time by helicopter, offers to whisk him away to safely and he declines, relying on God to save him, only to die in the great storm. In heaven, the man confronts God and says, "Why didn't You save me?" To whi...

Prayer Starter - Thursday, October 23, 2025. God’s Faithfulness in Every Season

Image
Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV) "Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." As we grow older, life often brings unexpected challenges—health concerns, changes in relationships, and the reality of life's brevity. But in all the seasons of life, one thing remains constant: God's faithfulness. In the book of Lamentations, Jermiah the.prophet, reflects on a time of great sorrow and hardship. Yet, he still finds reason to hope. Why? Because God’s faithfulness is unwavering. Even when circumstances seem difficult or uncertain, God’s love and compassion never fail. His faithfulness isn't dependent on our circumstances; it’s rooted in His unchanging nature. If you’ve walked with the Lord for many years, you’ve no doubt seen this truth play out in your life. Perhaps you’ve experienced moments when you thought you couldn’t go on, only to see God provide in ways you never expected...
