In the Meantime!

“Why are you fearful, O you of Little Faith"

Matthew 8:26

Cause us to hear your loving-kindness in the morning, for in you do we trust. We continue to stand in awesome wonder of your great and mighty works. Thank you for reaching beyond our human faults and frailties to love us without wavering.

Hold us in the palm of your hand in between the cross and the resurrection, between the humiliation and and exaltation.

Protect us even in shadows of threatening things or when haters encamp around us. Calm our fears, which try to immobilize our faith.

Even if we find ourselves at the breaking point, strengthen our faith so that we won’t break confidence in you. Help us to hold on between our Fridays and the Sunday morning on the way.

In Your name, Amen.

Lord, we live daily believing and behaving the Resurrection on the way!

Sting, What Sting?

Nourish us of God, with your presence and your word. Forgive us for wanting to spend more time texting, and tweeting then we desire to be with you. Help us to get to the place where we acknowledge both our sin and our arrogance in our views about each other and ourselves.

Empower us to overcome whatever challenges this new life we find in you. Encourage us to claim what you have promised us and forgive us of a past that falls short of your glory.

Send us now into this day to be your representative of good news. Sin, death and hell are overcome. O sin where is your sting, O death where is your grave. There is now no condemnation. Praise God, Praise God. Amen.

Day Break

Good morning Lord, we come to you committing this day to your hand. Guide us through the day, show us what we need to see, point us in the direction you want us to go teaching us what we need to learn and use us in your service so that others may see your good works and glorify the Father which is in heaven. In Your name, Amen.

Holy Week

How would your world change if you spent this week learning something new about God? There is always more to learn everyday.

Add one spiritual discipline to your week: prayer, fasting, praise, study, meditation, or ____?

Fickle

Lord, our feet are firmly planted on the path towards Golgotha’s gore. Give us this day hope in the midst of a fickle public who loves you one day and hates you the next. There is always a crowd who is willing to lift you up only to take you down before the week is over. Help us to examine ourselves. Then lead us to develop an authentic commitment to the things of God and the cause of Christ.

Pour upon us your forgiveness in such a way that we will be transformed forever. In Jesus Name, Amen.
