Guarding Against Mission Drift
Paul urged Timothy to stay anchored in love, purity, and sincere faith while calling out false teaching. Prayer—especially for all people and all leaders—is what keeps our hearts centered on God’s mission instead of empty discussions and cultural distractions.
Before You Post, Pray
Before we speak or post, may we pause to let God filter our thoughts with compassion. The world doesn’t need more rants—it needs more redeemed hearts that reflect His grace.
The Fragrance That Fills the World
Paul reminds us that when we walk with Christ, we carry His fragrance wherever we go. Like a parade led by Jesus Himself, our words and actions spread the aroma of life to those who believe.
Trusting the God Who Knows More Than We Do
When we surrender our desires and wait in trust, we find peace in knowing that everything will indeed be alright because of the resurrection of Christ.
The Debt We Could Never Pay
Imagine the relief of paying off every financial obligation—no more credit cards, loans, or mortgages. Through Jesus’ sacrifice, our sin debt was canceled, nailed to the cross, and forgiven forever.
A Prayer Over Labor Day
Today, we pause to thank God for the men and women who work every day doing things that allow our lives to be more pleasant.
Joy Is Your Strength
Even when brokenness surrounds you, God offers joy that strengthens and sustains. As you seek His wisdom, courage, peace, and provision, you’ll discover that joy is already here—flowing from Him.
Trusting God’s Plan Over Anxiety
We can waste hours worrying about the “what ifs” of tomorrow, or we can let God lead us one step at a time. His Word reminds us that He sees us, He knows us, and He will guide us.
Help, Lord! And Guard My Mouth While You're At It
Prayer is meant to be real, not rehearsed. David’s example challenges us to bring our full selves to God while showing restraint when tempted to lash out at people. That shift could change everything.
Before All Else, Pray
When faced with national threats and personal sickness, King Hezekiah’s first response was to seek God in prayer—and God showed up with power and mercy.
Created for Connection
We were made for fellowship with God and one another. As we spend time alone with Him, He equips us to return and serve, love, and build unity in our communities.
The Saving and Blessing Work of God
In both the Old and New Testaments, we find instructions for how we can and should live our best lives, which happens when we align ourselves with God’s will and obey his precepts.
Lord, Teach Us to Pray (Even with an iPad)
You may have every modern convenience at your fingertips, but don’t let that replace your connection with the One who provides what you truly need. As we learn from Jesus’ parable, it’s not about having it all figured out—it’s about knowing who to go to, and trusting that He cares.
The Promise Still Stands
When prayers go unanswered and change is slow, we’re called to persist—like Isaiah, who refused to be silent until God’s work was complete. The promise is sure; the timing is God’s.
No Other Savior
Isaiah makes it plain—only God can save. Though we often look elsewhere for help, only the Lord is our true redeemer and ever-present rescuer.
How We Begin Matters
Hezekiah’s prayer began with reverence, not panic. His example reminds us to approach God with awe, recognizing His power and holiness, not just our problems.
A Prayer for the Day of Waiting
Today, our waiting is with anticipation because we know the truth and the truth has set us free.
Seeking God's Wisdom
Solomon's journey from seeking divine wisdom to compromising his faith teaches us the importance of continually asking God for guidance in our leadership roles and daily decisions.
The Consequences of Getting What You Want
Despite their mistake in choosing a king, Israel had the chance to make good from their decision by remaining faithful to God, a lesson that applies to all believers who are called to walk in obedience.
Navigating Life’s Storms
After hearing of John the Baptist’s death, Jesus withdrew to pray, showing us the importance of turning to God in grief and relying on His presence to find strength for the next step.
