No Words Necessary

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.—Romans 8:26 (NIV)
When you are so overcome that you do not have words—know that you are not alone. God’s love is so great that when your emotions are too intense to pray, the Holy Spirit intercedes for you. When words fail, His presence takes over.
Loving God, when my pain is too deep for words, I am comforted to know You still hear me.

Be a Resource

For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisers.—Proverbs: 11:14 (NIV)

From Sorrow to Strength

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”—John 11:25–26 (NIV)
Theologian Frederick Buechner wrote, “Even the saddest things can become, once we have made peace with them, a source of wisdom and strength.” Grief and sorrow are an inevitable part of life, but with faith and God’s Word, you can trudge through the pain to a place of peace and strength.
Loving God, when I am in the midst of pain and loss, may the peace of Your presence surround me.

Reach Impossible Goals

“‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”—Mark 9:23 (NIV)
Open your mind to limitless possibility. Anything that is in harmony with God’s will is possible. No matter how impossible something must seem, the things that are impossible with men are possible with God. Dream, believe and achieve whatever desire God puts in your heart.

Lift Up Your Heart

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38–39 (NIV)
Nothing can separate you from God’s love. Take that promise to heart, no matter what is happening in your life, you can be secure because God is with you, dedicated to helping you grow your faith and be your best. His care is supporting you.
Lord, Your love will see me through—I trust You with all my heart.

Seek and You Will Find

He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.—Hebrews 1:3 (ESV)
God is present in every part of your life. Sometimes people are too busy to notice—or are expecting an earth-shattering sign, when instead His fingerprints shine in the ordinary and in everyday activities. During dinner with your family, a quiet moment in devotion, even grocery shopping—God is with you, blessing your life.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the many graces You have given me.

Father Mychal’s Prayer

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort.—2 Corinthians 1:3 (NIV)
Today marks the twentieth anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks. As we pray for all those affected by the horrific events of that day, let us recite the prayer that Father Mychal Judge, a Franciscan priest and a chaplain for the New York City Fire Department, prayed on a daily basis. Father Judge was killed at the World Trade Center ministering to a fallen firefighter.
Lord, take me where You want me to go. Let me meet who You want me to meet. Tell me what You want me to say, and keep me out of Your way. (Father Mychal’s Prayer)
