Prayer Starter - Monday, November 24, 2025 A Thanksgiving Prayer that Leads to Joyful Worship


Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambourines and dancing. And Miriam sang to them:

“Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.”

Exodus 15:20-21

After the Lord parted the Red Sea and delivered Israel from Pharaoh’s army, the very first response recorded is a woman lifting her voice in thanksgiving. Miriam, the sister of Moses took her tambourine, gathered the women, and led them in a joyful song: “Sing to the Lord, for He is highly exalted!”

What a beautiful picture of worship on the other side of fear.

Imagine, the same feet that once ran in panic now danced in praise. The same voices that cried out in anxiety now sang with confidence. Gratitude became their testimony. Their thanksgiving wasn’t quiet or reserved; rather it was public, joyful, and contagious. Miriam’s praise turned into a movement of worship that spread through the camp.

Sometimes God invites us to respond the same way. After He brings us through deep waters, He calls us not just to breathe a sigh of relief but to lift a song of thanksgiving. Our praise becomes a witness to those around us, reminding them that God  still  delivers, still the Way-Maker, still the One who brings His people safely through.

Today, take a moment to reflect on the Red Seas God has brought you through. Let gratitude rise. Let praise move you. And maybe your thanksgiving will inspire someone else to worship too.

Holy Father, I have been through some Red Seas. I remember, running and hiding, only to ask You to help me or protect me and You came through - because You are faithful! I praise You, O, Lord, because in those tough times, You made it look easy. You took care of my enemies and I walked write through the dry land.  

Oh Father, You are the Way-Maker, You still deliver! Thank You, O Lord. As my prayer friends and I are praying this week, I ask You help us remember to praise You. I hope our prayers of gratitude can be shared so all of us can be moved to praise You!

Thank You for Jesus. In His Precious Name, I pray. Amen.

Reply to the Text or email prayerstarter@gmail.com your prayer of thankfulness. On Thursday, I will compile all of our prayers and share with you (No names will be shared).

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...
