Be a light

God, thank You for creating light, and for sending Your Son to be the Light of the world! Without it, I would be lost in darkness. Give me a passion to want others to experience Your Light. Empower me with boldness and love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Rest for the weary

Jesus, You know exactly what I need. You know where I'm suffering and how I'm hurting, and You are gentle with me. Thank You. You want me to approach You and give You all my concerns, so here I am. I need You, and I'm looking to You. Please help me to carry this heavy weight, and give me Your rest in return. Amen.

Carry each other's burdens

God, help me to be quick to help others, and willing to accept help when I need it. Please empower me to love others well—to be a good listener, to act when I see a need, to welcome accountability, and to pray for the people in my life. Help me to become more like You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Time for a breakthrough

God, there are some hard parts of my heart that need to be broken up. Help me. I want to sow seeds of faith, hope, and love—not anger, resentment, and bitterness. I surrender those hard parts to You! Today, I want to walk in Your righteousness and be covered by Your blessings. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Rejoice

Father, thank you for being with me through the weeping, and leading me back to joy. Lord, help me learn to make lament a language of my faith. Guide me through the healing process, and anchor me in the hope I find in your Word. In Jesus’ strong name, Amen.

A humble heart

God, I need You. I can’t pretend that I have my life together—because I don’t. You alone are able to help and sustain me. You alone are able to give me the strength I need to get through each day. Today, please remind me that You are in control; that You are enough for me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
