God is always nearby

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.

Psalms 34:18 NLT

Father God, You are always near, but today I am inviting You to come close to me. Show me how near You are. Here are my burdens—please take them. I am tired of pretending that I can carry them. Remove my fears and replace any heaviness in my life with Your relentless love. Come close to me as I come close to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

God's amazing love

This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you.

John 15:12 NLT

God, I thank you for the amazing love that You have shown to me. I pray that I can love others in my life in that same way. Please help me by Your Spirit to prioritize people in my life, serve those who are in need, and share the love of Jesus with those who haven't heard. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Jesus is Lord

And what is God’s “living message”? It is the revelation of faith for salvation, which is the message that we preach. For if you publicly declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will experience salvation.

Romans 10:9 TPT

Jesus, I believe that You are God and Savior of the world. I believe that our Heavenly Father God raised You from the dead, and I know that You can save me. I believe that You are king and lord over the entire earth, and I want to surrender my whole life to You. You alone can save me, and You alone are worth following. So please take my life—and give me Yours. Amen.

Empowered by the Spirit

I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit.

Ephesians 3:16 NLT

God, You are an unlimited God. There is nothing that is too hard for you, and there's nothing you cannot do. Lord, help me to understand the areas in my life where I can use the resources you gave me to help others. Help me be a light to others. In Jesus Name, Amen

Humble yourself

So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.

1 Peter 5:6 NLT

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 show me that You are in control—and that You are enough for me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Give thanks

Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done.

Psalms 105:1 NLT

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 today, 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.
