Prayer Starter - Wednesday, June 25, 2025 Simple Prayer


Good Morning Friends,

Let me give you an example to show how easy God has made prayer.

There was a man who couldn’t walk. His story is found in Mark, chapter 2. He had some very kind friends. They believed Jesus could help him. So they carried him to the house where Jesus was teaching. But the house was so full of people that they couldn’t get inside.

Did they give up? No! They climbed up on the roof, made a hole in it, and lowered their friend down, right in front of Jesus.

His friends probably waited for Jesus to say, “You are healed!” But Jesus didn’t say that first. Instead, He said, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

Why did Jesus say that? Because even though the man didn’t speak, Jesus knew what was in his heart. The man really wanted to be forgiven. He didn’t say anything out loud—he just looked at Jesus. But Jesus heard the silent prayer from his heart.

Jesus forgave him first. Then He healed his body too.

This story helps us understand something important about prayer.

Prayer isn’t just about words. It starts deep in our hearts, even before we say anything. And it can stay in our hearts even after we stop speaking.

Prayer is a way we turn our hearts and thoughts toward God. And God always knows when we are praying—even when we don't use words.

Dear God, 

Sometimes I just don't have the words. Sometimes my words are messy and I am even confused. Today I pray that Your Spirit will intercede for me.  I will continue to pray, but please listen to my heart, more than my words.

Continue to Pray whatever is on your heart.


Romans 8:26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

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 - Friday, August 29, 2025 "Friday Night Lights"

Image
It's Friday - Game Day.  Friday Night Lights For many of us, Friday night lights bring back memories of gathering with family and friends at the local football field. The lights shining against the night sky signaled more than just a game—it was a place of community, excitement, and hope. In life, we also walk through nights that feel dark. The worries of health, family, or the unknown can weigh heavily. But just as stadium lights brighten the field, the light of Christ shines into our lives. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” ( John 8:12 ). Dear Heavenly Father, many of us are long past the days of Friday night lights; others of us, have a game tonight. Be with us as we are a community - we are family. Be with our students and keep them safe on the field and off. For the rest of us, probably happy those days are behind us, help us to remember Your Son Jesus, is the light of this world. Satan...
