There are so many broken hearts these days. There’s so much anger, pain, and sorrow. Where can you find strength again?

The strong, fierce heart is not a hard heart of stone. Instead, it’s open and ready to give. To love. True fierceness in the Lord follows the example of Jesus Christ. And those who have been given much, will love much. Those who have tasted God’s abundant grace will not be afraid. Stand firm and look forward to the coming dawn.

I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

PRAYER FOR A FIERCE HEART

O merciful Lord,

I’m struggling right now. I hurt inside, but I can’t stop. Life moves on. Many depend on me. What happens if I crumble? What happens if I fail?

Your promises are eternal, O Lord. Sometimes with my head I don’t get it. I get scared. But my heart knows full well as the heart cannot deny a love so pure as the love of my Lord.

With you, I know I’ll move ahead. Sometimes I’ll stumble, even fall. But you’ll fill in the gaps. You’ll lift me up off the floor and give me rest in the sacred wounds of Christ.

Beyond my faults & fragility, give me a fierce heart, O Lord. A heart broken open long ago to let you in. A heart that clings to you with all it’s might. Never letting go of hope. Never giving up on love.

I pray for this, trusting in you,

in Jesus name,

Amen.

Go. Find them. They are closer than you think. Someone is having a tough time right now.

Pray for them faithfully, but don’t stop there. Lift them up. Be a friend and helper too.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

Matthew 5:3-5

PRAYER FOR THE POWERLESS

O loving Lord,

The world hurts so much now. The desire for power is inflamed more than ever. And the poor & meek suffer, now more than ever. What can be done, O Lord?

Reveal once again to my heart when Jesus came to me. It was when I was broken, wounded and ashamed. Your loving mercy broke open my heart, and your Spirit rushed in.

Let me remember how I was powerless to save myself. But you restored me. You lifted me up.

Pour out your restoration, O Lord. Send your Holy Spirit in abundance. The poor, the meek, and those who mourn, draw them closer to Christ.

Pour out your mercy, send us your grace. We’re all broken and need healing. We all need a Savior. We all need you, O Lord.

In Jesus name,

Amen.

Covering too many bases these days? Lots of fires to put out? Or maybe you have complex, long-term responsibilities piling up.

One of the reasons you might feel overwhelmed (besides having tons to do) could be due to scattered thoughts. You mind bounces around trying to solve too many things at once, and it’s exhausting.

God is not only the creator of life, he’s also the organizer of your life. Ask him to bring his order to your thoughts. This allows you to stay focused and save energy.

Cry out to the Lord. Show him how hard it is for you. Let him reveal to you a more heavenly way to see things. Be lifted up by the Spirit of God. He will give you calm and strength to continue.

Do it all for our Lord Jesus Christ. Do it all for love.

On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him. And a great storm of wind arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care if we perish?” And he awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, “Why are you afraid? Have you no faith?” And they were filled with awe, and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even wind and sea obey him?”

PRAYER FOR WHEN YOU ARE OVERWHELMED

O merciful Lord,

So many tasks & worries, everything pulls at me, pushing me past my limits. I feel an explosion inside. How much more can I take?

Call me back to you, O Lord. Bring me out the wilderness, away from the chaos. Even during a storm Jesus slept, as he knew his Father loved him.

So even now, as I feel completely overwhelmed, may your Word guide me. May your Spirit give me clarity and strength.

In Jesus name, cast out the enemy far from me.

You see me as I am, O Lord. I wait and rest in you. This moment too shall pass, but your love is eternal, your Kingdom everlasting.

May I rest with Jesus in the loving arms of our Father, in thy Kingdom come.

In Jesus name,

Amen.

When you face a tough decision, sometimes the right choice is the hard choice. Sometimes it’s much harder. Still, if you compromise your values, it’s never without consequences.

The Christian life is counter-cultural. You might sometimes be seen as odd for doing things “the hard way.” But how much is it worth to sleep well at night knowing you’ve gone the extra mile to do the right thing?

Even if you’ve been making moral compromises for a while, it’s never too late to turn things around. It doesn’t have to happen all at once. Take a step in the right direction. Take a stand. Ask God to back you up. And walk the walk of Christ. It’s the walk that leads to life.

PRAYER FOR COURAGE TO DO THE RIGHT THING

O heavenly Lord,

I feel like I’m being torn apart. I know what’s right, but it won’t be easy. Not at all. I admit it. I’m afraid. Won’t you help me?

Reveal to me, O Lord, your way. Show me the firm, solid path. It may not be easy, but it’s where Jesus walks. He’s right there next to me. And when the climb gets steep my Lord will lift me. Carry me. For this weak and fragile soul can’t do it alone.

I trust and lean on you. Build my courage to face the day. Let it not fill me with pride, instead may I be humbled knowing that in some small way I imitate Christ.

My Lord Jesus held nothing back as it was all for love. May I too go to the cross, be driven by love, and give glory to God.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen.

Feeling broken or worn out? Many of us are these days. Part of this is because we lack a sense of security. Lots of people claim to be able to give us peace, but in the end we still feel uneasy.

The pressure of the world, our wounds, and our mistakes can all bring us down hard. The struggle to get back up again is not easy. Are you trying to do it all by yourself?

God’s way of restoring you is truly incredible. Things might not change on the outside, but on the inside it can be fresh and new. His Holy Spirit reveals a different way to see your reality. It’s not about resting in a fantasy or something temporary. Instead, it’s gaining understanding about eternal truths.

You are loved by God. Go to him and be made new again.

PRAYER TO BE MADE NEW AGAIN

O blessed Lord,

I don’t want to be fooled or distracted. The world offers me peace & security, but it can’t.

Tell it to my soul again, O Lord: All I need is Jesus.

Show me once again how much you loved me that you gave me your Son. Your only Son. Innocent. Holy.

Faithful Christ almighty.

Reveal to my heart again a love so deep and strong that it casts out all fear & doubt. It’s not about an easy life, no. It’s about my soul safe with God no matter what may come.

So I’ll lift my head and do my best. And even if my best isn’t good enough you’re there for me. You’ll pick up the broken pieces.

Even broken, in Christ I rise up. I am a beloved child of God. He makes me new again.

In Jesus name,

Amen.

Whether it’s caring for your family, loved ones, or someone in need–many have been called to a greater responsibility. But it’s not easy is it? Where do you find your nourishment and strength?

To be able to give a lot, you must receive more. Only one source has no limit of goodness and grace for you. Return to the Lord. Rest in him.  Be made strong and ready to keep going… no matter what it takes.

PRAYER TO STAY FIRM IN RESPONSIBILITY

O merciful Lord,

The burden on me is heavy. More than ever I feel pressure. How can I handle it all, O Lord? What is your teaching here?

Give me air and give me life. Holy Spirit come to me. Let me enter again into the wide openness your grace. Where all is quiet and still. Just you and me, O Lord.

You whisper to my heart the secrets of your kingdom. Your innocent Son reveals God to me.

Nothing in this world can satisfy or save me. Only Christ can set me free.

Help me to lift my cross again. Boldly. Courageously. Humbly.

You have blessed me to see the glory of God. By the blood of Christ your victory is sealed into me.

I move forward again. I live in Christ. And Christ lives in me.

In Jesus name,

Amen.

The feeling of defeat can be devastating. Why? Because it usually means that you put in a lot of effort, and things didn’t turn out how you expected. Or, circumstances out of your control led to a poor outcome.

As much as it hurts, moments of defeat are huge opportunities. Of course you wanted a better result, but that doesn’t mean everything is a disaster. Can you learn from the process? Will your ability to keep going grow stronger?

The enemy wants you to think that there’s no exit. But remember, your defeat does not define who you are.

The resurrection of Christ shows us that even in the darkest moments, new life can appear. It won’t be the same as before, but if we trust the Lord, it can be even better. Jesus won the victory for you. Believe this and know you are a child of God. Let his Spirit restore you. He will never let you go.

PRAYER FOR WHEN YOU FEEL DEFEATED

O blessed Lord,

I’m down and out; on the floor, beaten. Will I ever get up again?

Do you see me, O Lord?

I give up all my failure and my shame to you. May my wounds be cleansed by the blood of Christ. He alone sets me free.

Let me hear, once again your comforting voice. Soothe my anguish with your loving mercy.

I do not seek an easy way out. Let it be real and lasting, O Lord. Guide me to repent if needed. Restore my soul and let me know that I am much more than the present moment.

In Christ, I can rise again. You make me strong & steady. I lift my head ready to face a new day with confidence.

In my defeat I find victory as it brings me closer to you.

In Jesus name,

Amen.

Crisis, conflict, and lockdowns can crush your motivation. Even though things might be tougher than ever, you don’t have to let it get the best of you.

Instead of feeling trapped with no hope, look deep inside. God’s Spirit gives us an unlimited source of inspiration. Not even the death of God’s Son could stop it. Nothing can stop the love of God. Instead, Christ rises up, again and again, victorious in glory.

So lift your head. Dig in and dig yourself out of the apathy or negativity. Ask God to help you. He will give you all the strength and courage you need.

PRAYER TO RESTORE YOUR MOTIVATION

O merciful Lord,

the world suffers and people live in fear or rage. And the enemy tries to make me lose all hope. Won’t you help me, O Lord?

Show me the clear way of Christ. He came to free the spirit and return hope to the fallen. Reveal to me again, O Lord, how even the smallest task can be made holy.

In the name of Jesus, cast out the liar that says all is lost. Let me hear the voice of the one true God who tells me,

“Beloved, have courage. Live life fully, in any situation for my Spirit goes with you. See Jesus on the cross for you. See how he loves. Go now and love. There is no greater purpose and nothing can stop my mission of love.”

Press your Word into me, O Lord, make it real. Give me fresh wings to glorify your holy name.

In Jesus name,

Amen

So many voices, opinions, predictions, and conflicts… there’s never been as much noise as there is today. Still, it’s true—things are complex and messy.

Many are tempted to find rest in finger pointing, political gain or controlling others… or generating fear. But there is a much more excellent way. Jesus and his word are the voice of clarity, no matter what the situation. His wisdom cuts through the chatter.

The sons and daughters of God will seek truth from one place alone: in Jesus Christ. He is our way, our truth and our life.

Has the truth of the Resurrection made a difference in your life? If so, how?

The world is undergoing big changes now. Many people are searching for answers. We already have the most important answer of all. Jesus Christ shows us how to respond to our current situation and any other challenge.

So go back to his teachings and his word. Go back to the cross and remember. Return to the empty tomb and believe.

PRAYER FOR FAITH IN THE RESURRECTION

O loving Lord,

I’ve heard the story so many times. How a kiss betrayed you and how your friend denied you. And I know sometimes that I did the same.

So tragic. So sad. But still…

You let them whip you, crown you, until you could take no more. You let that cross dig into your back. You spread out your arms while the nails drove deep, and your blood soaked the earth.

All for me. O Lord,

Let me not look away this time. Let me not deny you or turn back. And when it gets dark and scary, I will cling to you. I will hold tight. I know you will never leave me.

You promise me paradise.

In your wounds I find peace. There I place all my hope – in your wounded side, in your pierced hands & feet. in the risen Lord, full of grace and glory.

In Jesus name,

Amen.
