LET'S PRAY

God, thank You for creating me with intention and care. Before I was born, You knew me and prepared plans for me. I want to partner with You in what You are doing in the world. Reveal to me the plans, gifts, and abilities that You want me to develop for future use. Help me to cultivate those gifts as I continue to pursue You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

A PRAYER TO REFOCUS

God, I want more of You.

Too often, I choose to pursue momentary things and push You aside. Please forgive me, and change me. I don’t want to live a life that isn’t focused on You.

As I prepare for Resurrection Sunday, help me to silence the noise in my life. Show me what steps I need to take to refocus my heart, mind, and will on You alone.

Search my heart, and know me. Clean out my life, point out anything that offends You, and make me more like You. Show me the paths that lead to life, and fill me with joy in Your presence.

I love You, and I want to fix my eyes on You.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

LET'S PRAY

God, I want to put You first in my life. I recognize that this is a daily decision that I must make. But my desire truly is to honor You with my thoughts and actions. So today, I am making this my prayer: “Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing to You, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.” In Jesus’ name, Amen.

God, You are my refuge, my strength, and my help in times of trouble. Even when I face difficult situations, I will not fear because You are with me. You cover me and protect me. You go before me to fight my battles—and You always win. Nothing is impossible for You, which is why I can confidently say You are my help when I am in need. No matter what I face today, I will place my hope in You. Amen.

God, You created work. You want me to partner with You in the work You are doing in the world. What a gift that is! Even though I know I will face hard days, I want to see my work as a gift from You. Help me to approach every task with a cheerful heart. Allow me to glorify You by making my work an act of worship. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

God, thank You for never giving up on me. I recognize that my relationship with You is an active one: we both participate in my spiritual growth.
