Today, I pray for a restoration of society’s valuing truth. While we as a society will claim to want the truth, we do not walk in ways that reflect that claim.

Today, I pray for Your power to work in us to hold fast to the covenant as described in Isaiah 56. The world offers so many ways and opportunities to sidestep Your Word,…

Today, I pray that You would sustain those who are waiting with the hope of David as he asked “How long, Oh Lord?”. So many of us have been praying…

Today, I pray that we would better understand the rest in Christ that You call us to both in terms of its eternal and its present implications.

Father God,

Today, I pray for those walking through a long valley of chronic illness in which uncertainty compounds the suffering they experience. I pray that in the midst of their darkness, they would hear the invitation of Hebrews 4:16 to “with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

Help us all to press into the promises and love of our Great High Priest, Jesus as Son of God. Let us plead for the relief of suffering in whatever form it has gripped our lives. Let us plead knowing that You never sleep nor slumber, that You catch our tears in a bottle, that You call us to pray without ceasing.

Let those whose path at present has avoided such valleys to join hearts and hands with those in the present valleys of suffering. Together let us all pray for the release of the prisoners from the captivity of illness. Let no one find themselves truly alone in their suffering, but send brothers and sisters in Christ to walk with the broken.

May we together walk into the rest that God promises and provides to His children. Let us see the release of the captives and the restoration of the sick to wholeness in body and spirit. Then let us sing praises to the God of Heaven for Your mercy on Your children.

In Christ’s Name,

Amen.

Today, I pray that You would set a sword in the mouths of each of Your people and each of us would respond with “Hear I am, send me.”

Today, I pray for parents to have the strength and the courage to live out their calling to be godly parents. I pray…
