Proclamation

God, You have never abandoned or betrayed me. You have faithfully cared for me and defended me. There is no one like You! When I look at nature, I see Your creativity. And when I look at my life, I see Your love. And that’s why I want to tell the whole world what You’ve done and who You are! So today, give me the courage to declare how great You are. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

A true heart

God, You desire a world that is marked by grace and mercy. Help me to be part of shaping that world by living a life that is pleasing to You. Please give me a heart that desires to be kind to others, not for show, but out of love for You and others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Show Love Sincerely

God, please make me quick to listen today. Show me how to love others sincerely and practically. Change the way I approach people by replacing my anger and frustration with grace, empathy, and understanding. Fill me with Your peace and love so that my attitude and actions reflect Your character. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Confidence

God, thank You for the privilege of approaching Your throne with my requests. I trust that You hear me and will provide for me. Teach me to have bold confidence when I pray, and fill me with childlike faith. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Carry Each Other’s Burdens

God, thank You for calling us to carry each other’s burdens. Help us to be quick to help others when we can, and to be willing to accept help when we need it. Please inspire us to love each other well—to be good listeners, to hold each other accountable, and to pray for each other often. Help us to become more like You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Fear of the Lord

God, when I think about who You are and all that You’ve done, it overwhelms me. I am filled with awe and wonder at how powerful yet merciful You are. Deepen my knowledge of Your love and faithfulness. Fill me with wisdom that only comes from knowing You. Be the foundation of my life so that way my life reflects You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
