Prayer Starter - Thursday, December 11, 2026 The Gift of Grace

 


2 Corinthians 12:9  But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 12:9 remind us of something deeply comforting: God is never waiting for us to be strong enough. Instead, He meets us right where we feel weak, weary, or worn thin and offers the strength only He can give. “My grace is sufficient for you” is not just a promise—it’s an invitation to rest in what God provides, not in what we can produce.

Grace is God’s daily gift—strength in weakness, mercy in failure, and love that never runs out. His grace is steady when our emotions are not, powerful when our efforts fall short, and present even in the trials we didn’t expect. It holds us together when life feels overwhelming and lifts us up when our own strength is gone.

Paul goes so far as to boast in his weaknesses—not because weakness is enjoyable, but because it creates space for Christ’s power to shine. When we stop pretending we have it all together, God begins to reveal what He can do through a surrendered heart.

Lean into His grace today. Let it steady you, strengthen you, and remind you that you are never walking alone. His grace is not barely enough—it is more than enough for every burden, every question, and every season you face.

Lord, thank You for the grace that covers us, restores us, and gives us strength for every moment. Teach us to live today fully dependent on You, not on our own understanding or efforts.

Father, our prayer warriors carry many loved ones on their hearts—friends and family who are facing needs far greater than what we can fix on our own. We lift each one before You. Whether they are struggling financially, battling physical illness, or seeking spiritual renewal, remind us to lean on Your grace, not our abilities. Help us serve them with compassion, wisdom, and faith in Your perfect timing.

May Your Holy Spirit watch over us, guide us, and steady us as we learn to trust more deeply in the gift of grace You so freely give.

In Jesus’ Name, 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...
