Prayer Starter - Tuesday, June 10, 2025 The Lord is My Strength


Good Morning, Prayer Warrior:

We have been reading in Habakkuk - the entire book is only 3 chapters. Yesterday, we discussed learning to "wait on the Lord" even in times when we are frustrated with God's response time. Today's focus from the prophet is to realize God's plans are still at work even when He uses our enemies to fix an injustice. Remember the things God has done and rejoice in the Lord for He is your strength.

Habakkuk 17 Though the fig tree does not bud

    and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
    and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
    and no cattle in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
    I will be joyful in God my Savior.

19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength;
    he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
    he enables me to tread on the heights.

God can use flawed nations or people as instruments of judgment without endorsing their actions or motives. In Habakkuk’s time, God used Babylon to judge Judah’s sin, even though Babylon acted from wicked motives and idolatry. Habakkuk was assured that God, the living and holy Lord, will ultimately bring justice and cannot tolerate evil forever.

The righteous live by faith, trusting in God's promises despite appearances. Habakkuk responds with a prayer recalling God’s past deliverance in the exodus, portraying future salvation as a new exodus. This finds ultimate fulfillment in Christ, who brings true deliverance through His death and resurrection. Even amid judgment, God’s redemptive plan remains at work.

Our prayer this morning:

O Lord, we recall all the ways You have saved us from the evils of the world. We thank You for delieverance when Satan lures us away. Forgive us, Lord. May Your Spirit guide us and continue to protect us.  May the Holy Spirit help our nation, our communities, and our people to repent and serve You.  Continue Your Prayer.

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...
