Prayer Starter - Monday, August 25, 2025 "Our Story"


Good Monday Morning-

Remember the story of the Woman at the Well. Jesus confronted her and she responded realizing that He was the Messiah.   Read about it in John 4.

Specifically, we are challenged to reflect on the encounter as the woman at the well reflected on her meeting with Jesus.  He told her about her past life and gave her an opportunity to accept "living water" from Him. 

John 4:28 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?” 

As we are building our relationship with God through prayer, talking to Him regularly, getting to know Him better, let's concentrate on what God has done for us through salvation.  This isn't just a prayer listing the blessings from God - that would be good, but this week, let's pray remembering the life we had before Christ - or before we really surrendered ourselves to Him.

Holy Father who is in Heaven and Reigns on this Earth,

Praise Your Name for You are good and You care for me. Thank You for all you have done, are doing and will do for me.  But this morning, I want to start my day asking Your Spirit to help me concentrate on "Our Story" - You and me, Lord.  I don't need to make a list.  Like the woman at the well, Jesus knows everything about me. This week, I pray I can hear my story from Your perspective.  It will help me tell my story to others. It will help me to reflect on Your goodness. 

Oh, I just don't thank You enough for the way You have interceded in my life to help me to come to this point where I am Yours. Thank You, Lord. May I be a blessing to others this day. 

Continue Your Prayer

In His 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 - 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...
