Prayer Starter - Tuesday, May 6, 2025


Dear Prayer Warrior,

A couple of scriptures to get us thinking this morning. 

John 5:19 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed.

I Thessalonians 5:17 Pray continually.


Modern life has given us so many wonderful things like AI, GPS, cell phones, microwaves and antibiotics. (Yes, some of those are not all that wondeful).  Yet it has also given us the tendency to separate our lives into boxes. Ex. "This is my family time," this is "work life," or "spiritual life," etc.

Many of us don't let a event in one box impact the other boxes. And this hurts us with our "prayer life."  Prayer was never meant to be in one box of our lives by itself.  Prayer is not meant to be one more thing to add to our already very busy life.

Here is a good saying that is worth repeating: "Don't try and develop a prayer life, seek a praying life."  A praying life is one that is saturated in prayer. It is a model of what Paul told the church at Philippi..."Pray without ceasing."

There is nothing wrong about setting time for prayer. We are doing that with these morning blogs.  However, our ultimate goal as Christians is to integrate prayer in everything we do.  Remember this discussion of prayer began with a focus on prayer as communion. We want to communion with God throughout the day and night. We want to "walk with God" (I John 1:6)

Try to integrate prayer in every part of your life. Start with a prayer this morning. Continue with a prayer everytime you begin a new task today. Just briefly thank God for the opportunity, or ask God to watch over you as you begin the next task at moment.

Dear Lord, 

As I start my day, help me to remember You all day long. Help me to recognize You as my Father, and walk with You as I go about doing the mundane tasks of my life. As my Father, watch over me and help me to communion throughout the day with You. 

Because of Your Blessings,


Amen

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...

Prayers Starter - Thursday, December 18, 2025 The Gift of Assurance

Image
Assurance is God’s gift of steady confidence in His promises. In a world filled with uncertainty, God offers His children the peace of knowing that our salvation, hope, and future rest securely in Him—not in our own strength or performance. “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.” — 1 John 5:13 God’s assurance reminds us that we belong to Him. When doubts arise or fears whisper that we are not enough, His Word speaks truth: we are held by His grace. Our confidence is not rooted in how tightly we hold onto God, but in how firmly He holds onto us. Through assurance, God calms anxious hearts and strengthens our faith. We move forward not in fear, but in trust—resting in the certainty that nothing can separate us from His love. Heavenly Father, Thank You for the gift of assurance — the confidence that comes from knowing I belong to You. When doubts arise and fears try to shake my faith, remind me that my...

Prayer Starter - Thursday, December 25, 2025 The Gift of Emmanuel - God with Us

Image
Merry Christmas.  Good morning, friend: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us ). — Matthew 1:23 From the very beginning, God’s desire has been to dwell with His people. The promise of Emmanuel - God with us  — is the fulfillment of that longing. In Jesus Christ, God did not remain distant or unreachable. He stepped into our world, our struggles, and our suffering. Emmanuel reminds us that God is present in every season of life. When we feel alone, He is with us. When we walk through uncertainty, He walks beside us. Jesus experienced human weakness, sorrow, and temptation, yet without sin, so that we could know God not just as Creator, but as Companion and Savior. The gift of Emmanuel assures us that we never face life on our own. God’s presence brings comfort, guidance, and hope. Because He is with us now, we can trust Him with our future. Emmanuel is not only a Christmas promise  —  it...
