Hard situations

God, You are the source of my joy. Even when I face various trials, I can trust that You are using them to make me stronger. Thank You for stretching my endurance and strengthening my faith. I know You are always with me. Help me to see every day and every circumstance as an opportunity for great joy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Training for eternity

God, thank You for caring about my whole being—body, mind, and soul. Help me to train not just for physical health, but for spiritual godliness. Not just for what's temporary, but what will last forever. Shape my thoughts, actions, and purpose to align with Your will. Strengthen me to pursue what truly lasts. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Run with endurance

Father, thank You that I am not alone. You are with me, and I'm not the first one to face these challenges. I'm not giving up. Strengthen me. I want to run my race well. I'm throwing off everything that hinders and running to You. Thank You that You meet me right here. Amen.

Replace worry with kindness

God, as I go about my day, help me to fight my fears and worries by trusting in You. Help me to be on the lookout for people who might need a reminder of Your love and kindness. Use me to be a source of encouragement to those around me. And when I get worried by events that are beyond my control, please remind me that You are near by filling me with Your peace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Honor others

God, thank You for showing me unconditional love and forgiveness. For not giving me what I deserve, but—instead—extending Your mercy and grace. As I go about my day, please show me how to love the people You place around me. Whether it’s a conversation online or in-person, let everything I say and do show honor to You and to others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Guidance and Protection

God, even on the darkest days of my life, You are there. You are my source of protection and strength. You fight for me, and lead me through hard times. With You, I am never truly alone or abandoned. Thank You for rescuing me; for saving me. Please help me to encourage the people around me with Your love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
