Wordless Prayers

“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message.”—John 17:20 (NIV)
Have you sat silently with God? Some of the most profound and beautiful moments are times spent with God, without words. With both Jesus and the Holy Spirit, you are covered in prayer. Soak in the gratitude of that comforting fact.
Heavenly Father, thank You for understanding me, for filling me with peace and for giving me everything I need.

Wise Counsel

For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisers.—Proverbs 11:14 (NIV)
God sends help in the form of wise counselors to strengthen our faith. Sometimes that resource is a compassionate listener who offers encouragement and guides you to fully use your spiritual gifts. Other times, it is your turn to offer support and guidance. Ask God to help you have a positive impact in the world.
Lord, grant me the wisdom and discernment to know how to best help those who come to me for guidance.

Filled with His Glory

When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple. The priests could not enter the temple of the Lord because the glory of the Lord filled it.—2 Chronicles 7:1–2 (NIV)
The glory of the Lord is so magnificent that it is impossible to comprehend. Set aside a few minutes every day to think about Him. Focus your mind on Him and His glory. This practice will make you spiritually receptive and help deepen your prayer life.
Lord God Almighty, I commit my soul to Your care. Fill me with Your glory.

Strong Boundaries

Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me.—Psalm 119:133 (NIV)
God gives guidelines to ease life’s journey. By following His guidance and staying on His path, you benefit from becoming stronger in your faith and determined to live a life of purpose. If you feel that His guidelines limit your freedom, shift your perspective and see His direction guiding you to victory.
Lord, help me be disciplined by Your Word, trusting Your direction, and praising the protection You lovingly give me.

God Will Pick Up the Pieces

God, your God, will restore everything you lost; He’ll have compassion on you; He’ll come back and pick up the pieces from all the places where you were scattered.—Deuteronomy 30:3 (MSG)
God transforms life’s messes and miseries into masterpieces of His grace and mercy. Open your heart to Him, and trust that He is renewing and restoring you, picking up the pieces and rebuilding you. Best of all, when God restores you, He doesn’t bring you back. He brings you forward.
Lord Jesus, You restore my soul. Enfold me in Your love and help me grow to be my best.

Never Too Late

Then God said, “Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.”—Genesis 17:19 (NIV)
Is there a longing in your heart that you haven’t fulfilled? George Eliot famously said, “It’s never too late to be what you might have been.” Have faith and pursue your passion. Celebrate the God of miracles. It’s never too late.
Miraculous God, please help me build my dreams into reality.

God Is Faithful

Then Hannah prayed: “My heart rejoices in the Lord! The Lord has made me strong. Now I have an answer for my enemies; I rejoice because you rescued me.”— 1 Samuel 2:1 (NLT)  
God’s grace is always at work in your life. Even when you feel He isn’t answering your prayers, He is there. Instead of doubting His help, offer praise for His presence. Lift your face and turn your focus to Him. Trust that God is faithful.
Lord, I need Your help. I know that You hear my prayers.

His Love Is Constant

For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.—Romans 8:38–39 (ESV)
When the unexpected happens, or you are worried and anxious about the future, let go of fear and anxiety, because God is here with you. Though life may have times of uncertainty, God’s love is constant and steadfast.
Lord, the only true thing I can count on in this world is You.

Share God’s Love

Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.—1 Corinthians 11:1 (NKJV)
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross wrote, “People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.” An important part of your faith is sharing your light and God’s love with others. Just as the apostle Paul was placed in communities to help them experience His divine kindness, you too are called to be a beacon of His light and help others on their faith journeys.
Heavenly Father, I long to share Your love and light with others.

You have the power to decide what goals to achieve and how you spend your time and energy. It’s your choice to pursue the best opportunities, the best relationships and the best version of yourself. What are you working towards?
Heavenly Father, help me make the right choices so I never settle for less than the best.
