Prayer Starter - Thursday, November 6, 2026 "Do Not Worry - But be Thankful!"

 


“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” — Philippians 4:6–7 (ESV)


Thanksgiving doesn’t ignore worry — it replaces it. When we choose to thank God even before we see the answer, peace enters our hearts. 

Paul's message to us, is to trust God. Pray always and don't worry about the details. Allow God to care for us. Gratitude shifts our focus from what we fear to who God is: faithful, loving, and in control. Let's pray this morning and thank God fo all He has done for us. Let's thank God in our prayer today - praise Him for all He is doing for You!


Father, thank You for Your peace is stronger than my fears. 
Help me face today’s challenges with a thankful spirit, trusting that You are working all things for good.  
Forgive me for my worries. Help me to trust You in all things.
Help me to always present you with my thoughts of thankfulness daily.
(This is a good time to list the blessings God has given you and thank Him, one by one)

In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

Lord, Lead me to one soul today

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 - Thursday, October 23, 2025. God’s Faithfulness in Every Season

Image
Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV) "Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." As we grow older, life often brings unexpected challenges—health concerns, changes in relationships, and the reality of life's brevity. But in all the seasons of life, one thing remains constant: God's faithfulness. In the book of Lamentations, Jermiah the.prophet, reflects on a time of great sorrow and hardship. Yet, he still finds reason to hope. Why? Because God’s faithfulness is unwavering. Even when circumstances seem difficult or uncertain, God’s love and compassion never fail. His faithfulness isn't dependent on our circumstances; it’s rooted in His unchanging nature. If you’ve walked with the Lord for many years, you’ve no doubt seen this truth play out in your life. Perhaps you’ve experienced moments when you thought you couldn’t go on, only to see God provide in ways you never expected...
