Prayer Starter - Monday, June 9, 2025 Waiting on the Lord


Good Morning,

Modern life’s obsession with speed and instant gratification can make it harder for Christians to wait on God. While we’re used to immediate results—like binge-watching shows or microwaving meals—God often operates on a slower, divine timeline. With Him, waiting is normal and purposeful.

Read Habakkuk - the entire book is only 3 chapters.  Quick overview read Habakkuk 1:2, 12; 2:1.

The prophet Habakkuk’s experience illustrates this: though he expected God to act quickly in response to injustice, he was made to wait. God’s answer revealed that the resolution would take time—teaching Habakkuk patience and trust.

This pattern isn’t unique. Many biblical figures—Abraham, Joseph, David, and others—had to wait long periods to see God’s promises fulfilled. God uses these delays not as neglect, but as opportunities to reveal His glory, develop faith, and demonstrate mercy, power, or wisdom.

In essence, God makes us wait not to frustrate us, but to deepen our dependence on Him and to showcase His perfect timing and greater purposes.  It's also Biblical. Lamenting is a normal process of Christians relating to God. It builds dependency.  

Psalm 13:1 

How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?

    How long will you hide your face from me?

Lamenting is an important part of building our relationship with God. It remind us that God is all powerful and He can do what He will do when He wants to. The people of faith did not suprress what was going in in their hearts but they told it all to God. This broke forth a deep sense of assurance, producing the fruit of patience and trust in our Lord.


But I trust in your unfailing love;
    my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing the Lord’s praise,
    for he has been good to me.

Oh Lord, Our Majestic Lord, 
We bow before You because You are the God of all gods. You are in control. We are just impatient. We are frustrated at seeing the sin of the world. Some would say, we are complaining, but Lord, we pray that we will learn to trust You even more.  We won't sit on the wall and wait, we are ready to serve You. While we wait, we will sing Your praise, for You have been an awesome God.

In Jesus' Name, 
Amen

Prayer Starter Monday 4-7-25

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...
