Prayer Starter - Friday, November 21, 2025 A Faith that Stays!



The story of Ruth and Naomi is one of Scripture’s most beautiful pictures of loyalty, trust, and God’s quiet, unfolding redemption. Naomi felt empty and broken after losing her husband and sons. Her future seemed uncertain, her hope nearly gone. But in that dark season, Ruth stepped forward with courageous love and unwavering faith.

Ruth didn’t follow Naomi because the circumstances were promising—she followed because she trusted Naomi’s God. Her words still echo with strength today: “Your people will be my people, and your God my God.” This wasn’t just loyalty to Naomi; it was a declaration of faith in the Lord.

And God honored Ruth’s steadfastness. What looked like a dead end became the doorway to blessing, restoration, and even the lineage of Christ. Ruth reminds us that God often works through the ordinary faithfulness of His people.  

When we choose to trust God in difficult seasons, He has a way of turning bitterness into blessing and empty places into testimonies of His faithful love.


Father,
Thank You for example  of Ruth and Naomi—an historical example of love that endures and faith that holds on when life feels heavy. When we walk through seasons of loss or uncertainty, help us to trust You just as Ruth did. Fill our hearts with the courage to stay faithful, to keep walking, and to believe that You are working even when we cannot see it. 

Bring Your redemption into the broken places of our lives and guide us as we follow You. O, Lord, I praise You for Your perfect faithfulness.
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...
