Prayer Starter - Friday, December 26, 2025 The Gift of Redemption



Good morning, Friend -

I hope you had a blessed week so far.

Because God chose to be Emmanuel - God with us, He also chose to become our Redeemer. Redemption is the heart of the gospel: God did not only come near; He came to rescue.

Scripture tells us, “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (Ephesians 1:7). Through Jesus, God paid the price we could never pay ourselves. Our sin, guilt, and separation were taken upon Christ so that we could be forgiven, restored, and made new.

Redemption means our past no longer defines us. What was broken can be healed. What was lost can be found. In Christ, we are no longer slaves to sin but children of God, living in the freedom of His grace.

The gift of redemption reminds us that God’s love is not distant or conditional. He opened the way for eternal life. Because of Jesus, we walk forward redeemed - loved, forgiven, and free.  

Holy Father, Thank You for the gift of Jesus as our Redeemer. Oh, Lord, You are our God and You are our Redeemer!  Thank You for forgiving us of our sins and thank You for restoring us to be in Your Family.

This morning, I pray for those who are struggling. Whether is is with their personal faith or the tempations from the temptor, I pray for those separated from You.

May Your Spirit bless those who love You. May Your Spirit watch over us and help us to serve You to the fullest. We praise Your Name because You are the Great Redeemer.

Continue your personal prayer 

In the Name of Jesus, Amen

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...

Prayers Starter - Thursday, December 18, 2025 The Gift of Assurance

Image
Assurance is God’s gift of steady confidence in His promises. In a world filled with uncertainty, God offers His children the peace of knowing that our salvation, hope, and future rest securely in Him—not in our own strength or performance. “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.” — 1 John 5:13 God’s assurance reminds us that we belong to Him. When doubts arise or fears whisper that we are not enough, His Word speaks truth: we are held by His grace. Our confidence is not rooted in how tightly we hold onto God, but in how firmly He holds onto us. Through assurance, God calms anxious hearts and strengthens our faith. We move forward not in fear, but in trust—resting in the certainty that nothing can separate us from His love. Heavenly Father, Thank You for the gift of assurance — the confidence that comes from knowing I belong to You. When doubts arise and fears try to shake my faith, remind me that my...
