Don't give up

So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.

Galatians 6:9 NLT

God, help me to never become tired of doing good things. As I grow closer to You, give me the endurance to serve and love others no matter how I’m feeling. I want to bring those around me closer to You—so please help me to act more like You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Our daily bread

Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us today the food we need, and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us. And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.

Matthew 6:9‭-‬13 NLT

God, thank You for caring about my needs and for promising to be my provider. I’m grateful that You are my loving Father—and You care about my well-being. Please sustain me and my loved ones, guide my decision-making, and provide me with ideas and dreams. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Two are better than one

Two people are better than one, because they get more done by working together.

Ecclesiastes 4:9 NCV

God, thank You for creating us to live in community with one another. I’m grateful that we don’t have to go through life alone, and we can trust and rely on each other during life’s challenges. Please provide me with people who will pray for me during hard times and celebrate with me during good times. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Rescued from darkness

God rescued us from dead-end alleys and dark dungeons. He’s set us up in the kingdom of the Son he loves so much, the Son who got us out of the pit we were in, got rid of the sins we were doomed to keep repeating.

Colossians 1:13‭-‬14 MSG

God, thank You for rescuing me from darkness and evil. I am so grateful You have made me a citizen of Your kingdom. Help me to remember the freedom I have with You when I face hard situations. I believe You have the ability to change circumstances for the better. Through every challenge I face, I ask that You will free me from worry and fear and bring me Your peace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

God is my shepherd

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.

Psalms 23:1‭-‬2 NASB1995

God, thank You for being my Shepherd. I know with You, I lack nothing. I’m grateful I can trust You with my worries, and I can be at peace knowing You are in control. Thank You for guiding me through each day of my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Nothing compared to eternity

Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.

Romans 8:18 NLT

God, I know I will face troubles in this world, but I also know You are in control. In all circumstances, help me to remember Your promises, and remind me of the beautiful eternity with You that I will have. Thank You for being with me during hardship. Today, please give me the courage and strength I need to stand firm in my faith. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
