Prayer Starter - Monday, October 20, 2025. Faith is based on things not seen

Hebrews 11:1 — “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”  Read Hebrews 11:1-12:2 to read about the faith of the historical ancients of the Old Testament times.

Hebrews 11 is often called the “Faith Chapter” because it reminds us of men and women who trusted God even when they couldn’t see the outcome. Noah built an ark before a single drop of rain fell. Abraham left his home not knowing where he was going. Moses chose to follow God rather than enjoy the treasures of Egypt.

Their experiences remind us that faith isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about trusting the One who does. True faith believes God’s promises even when circumstances seem impossible. It looks beyond the visible to the eternal.

God still calls us to walk by faith today. Each act of obedience, each prayer whispered in hope, and each step taken in trust brings pleasure to God. When we choose faith, we live in a way that honors Him and draws us closer to His heart.   This week our prayers will focus on our faith and the faithful of God.


Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the examples of faith found in Your Word. Help me to trust You even when I don’t understand what You’re doing. Strengthen my heart to walk by faith, not by sight. Like the heroes of old, may my life reflect a deep and steady confidence in Your promises. 

Lord, remind me that faith is believing in the unseen. Faith is not based on the scientific method or special knowledge - it is based on what is not seen. Increase my faith today, Lord, and let it bring glory to Your name.

Continue your prayer and ask God to specifically help you in your faith or ask Him to forgive your lack of faith.


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 - 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...
