Prayer Starter- Friday, August 15 2025 - Friday's Joy!

Friday Blessing of Joy

Another week has passed, and God has been faithful.
Today, pause to thank Him for His guidance,
ask for His blessings on the weekend ahead,
and rest in the peace of His presence.

As the sun rises on this day, we're reminded of the sacrifice and anticipatory joy – a day that bridges our weekly labors with the approaching day of rest.

Fridays hold deep meaning in biblical history. It was on this day that Jesus demonstrated the ultimate expression of divine love through His sacrifice on the cross. This sacred connection transforms our understanding of Friday blessings from simple weekly rituals into powerful moments of spiritual significance. Each Friday serves as a testament to God's redemptive work in our lives.

"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."  

Philippians 4:7

Holy Father in Heaven, 
Praise be to Your Name for You are the Lord of Lords.
Thank You for Friday. Thank You for the Day. May I go about my business today focused on Jesus and the joy found only in Him.

Bless my work and service today as You have all week. Watch over me and keep me safe over the weekend. May I remember You all my days so I can bring praise to Your Name.

Father, help me to prepare for Sunday. Help me to be in a good mindset to worship You.  Bless my church family. Watch over my earthly family. 

In the Name of Your Son,
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 - 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...
