Father God, Your Word says Jesus came into the world, but His own did not receive Him. It says Your Son had no place to lay His head. It says Jesus emptied Himself for us. He was bruised and stricken for our transgressions. Your Son was a man of sorrows, acquainted with suffering, but He endured suffering so we may have life, life to the full. May we be trained by our trials to be more like Jesus. May we grow in our intimacy with You through our suffering. Thank You for showing us what perfect love is. May we live in response to Your love. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 🙏🏻

Father God, clothe me today so I am dressed to withstand whatever spiritual and emotional battles come my way. Thank you for Jesus: the way, the truth, and the life. Thank you for allowing us to have peace with You and others through Jesus’ reconciliation. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙏🏻

“If we loved ourselves, then we wouldn’t let people treat us poorly. We wouldn’t allow them to get away with saying unkind words or acting against our welfare – when we would never do that to them. We wouldn’t accept weak justifications for toxic behavior. We wouldn’t even tolerate toxic behavior to begin with if we loved ourselves.”

“Life moves forward. And if you’re sitting there, moping around about everything that you did wrong and all the wounds you made in other people’s hearts as you were growing – you will never be able to move on. You need to look at your reflection in the mirror, wipe off the past from your forehead and let yourself start again.”

God, give me the strength to stand firm against the devil’s tactics. Remind me that my enemies are not the people in front of me. When bad things happen, comfort me and flood my mind with truth. Do not let me forget that I belong to You, and You will fight for me. You are in control, and with You— I am safe. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙏🏻

Jesus,

I grieve that the torture and sorrow You endured on the cross were necessary to save humanity.

Because You didn’t want me enslaved to fear, anxiety, or sin—You sacrificed Yourself so that Love could win.

It’s Love that hung upon the cross and gave up everything to rescue me. “It is finished” was a cry of victory, because You defeated everything that held me in captivity.

Because of Your sacrifice, I can experience intimacy with You forever. Thank You! Help me to know You more, and to reach people with the hope found in You.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Father God, Walking in obedience to You is not always easy or comfortable, but thank You that Your Spirit empowers me for whatever You call me to. Thank You for Jesus and the perfect example of obedience and sacrifice He set by going to the Cross and laying down His life for us. Father, when the temptation to think and speak and act like the culture around me is strong, may I remember that He who is within me is greater than he who is in the world. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Father God, I long to know You more—and, in Your grace, You’ve given me a way to do that through Scripture and prayer. Lord, may I never take the privilege of reading Your Word or speaking to the Almighty God for granted. Give me a hunger for Your Word and a heart of worship and prayer. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 🙏🏻

While God doesn’t lecture us on communication, He loves hearing from us and speaking to us. He knows your thoughts from afar but waits for you to come into His presence. Scripture says in James 4: 8, “Come near to God and he will come near to you.”

He’s never too busy, never too tired, never too distracted to listen to you and speak to you. If we long for a friendship with God, we are to communicate with Him. As you know, communication is a two-way process: listening and speaking.

We primarily listen to God’s voice through His Word. When we go to His Word with expectation, giving Him the space to communicate to us through His Spirit who reveals the truth, God speaks. Friend, it’s time we got excited about this. Maybe we’ve become apathetic to it because we’ve heard it all our lives—but think about this stunning truth: the God of the universe speaks to you!

We primarily speak to God through prayer. Our prayers are not about presenting a laundry list of requests to God. Our prayers are meant to be far sweeter as we pour out our praise to Him and empty our pain before His throne of grace. Prayer is not about going to God because we need something from Him. It is going to God because He is our everything.

God, I ask for protection over my heart. I want to be willing to let go of things that are not Your will for me so that I can make room for the things that You do prepared for me. Guard me from thoughts, relationships, or beliefs that are not from You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

We don’t share a friendship with God because of our “spiritual” bent of mind, our special ability to commune with Him, or our supposedly stellar moral track record. The simple truth is that God initiates a relationship with us. He does the reaching out. He pulls us out of the muck of our sin. He offers us grace. And He did all of that by sending Jesus to pay the price for our sin. If you and I long for intimacy with God, let’s begin by recognizing that, in His sovereign grace, He chose us and made Himself known to us.
