Prayer Starter - Tuesday, January 6, 2026 "When the Body Is Weary"

 


When the Body Is Weary

Times of illness and uncertainty can leave us feeling tired, anxious, and overwhelmed. Appointments, tests, waiting rooms, and unanswered questions can weigh heavily on both body and spirit. Yet even here, God remains close. He sees every concern, understands every ache, and walks with us through each step of care and recovery.

“The Lord sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness” (Psalm 41:3).

God does not rush us when we need rest, nor does He turn away when we feel weak. Instead, He invites us to lean on Him—to trust that He is at work even when we cannot see results yet. Today, let yourself rest in His presence, knowing that His strength meets us exactly where ours runs low.

Lord, You see those who are struggling with health concerns today. Bring peace where there is worry, strength where there is weakness, and rest where there is exhaustion. Guide doctors and caregivers, bring clarity through tests, and comfort hearts while waiting. Help us trust You with our bodies and our days. 

Please continue to pray for those on your prayer list. Personalize it. Here is my prayer,

Holy Father, I have two friends in deep physical pain - please give relief to them. I pray for Lois and ask for healing for her eye. I pray for Randall, who has broken more bones. Both of these have struggled and yet they love You and want to serve You. Please give them relief. Heal them in ways only You can. Thank You for listening to my thoughts.

We place ourselves in Your loving care. In the Name of the Great Physician, Amen.

My personal note: I will be in Odessa having a number of tests on my heart.  Thank you for praying for me. If you need prayers for anything - health, a friend, a family member, a life situation... whatever your need, text it back to me and we will pray for you. Have a blessed day. (Remember these prayers are left on the blogsite, so you can go back and find one that fits your need).

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, December 25, 2025 The Gift of Emmanuel - God with Us

Image
Merry Christmas.  Good morning, friend: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us ). — Matthew 1:23 From the very beginning, God’s desire has been to dwell with His people. The promise of Emmanuel - God with us  — is the fulfillment of that longing. In Jesus Christ, God did not remain distant or unreachable. He stepped into our world, our struggles, and our suffering. Emmanuel reminds us that God is present in every season of life. When we feel alone, He is with us. When we walk through uncertainty, He walks beside us. Jesus experienced human weakness, sorrow, and temptation, yet without sin, so that we could know God not just as Creator, but as Companion and Savior. The gift of Emmanuel assures us that we never face life on our own. God’s presence brings comfort, guidance, and hope. Because He is with us now, we can trust Him with our future. Emmanuel is not only a Christmas promise  —  it...

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...
