A Prayer For His Messengers
Father, I am reminded today that no one is beyond the scope of Your redemptive power. Your amazing grace works wonders that are unexplainable by human understanding.

A Prayer For Health Care Professionals
Father, help us to have the heart and motivation of the good Samaritan when he saw the helpless man along the way. Taking the time to stop and help surely wasn’t on his schedule that day nor were the stranger’s medical and lodging expenses written into the Samaritan’s budget.

A Prayer For Waiting Obediently
Father, many times Scripture that speaks of waiting on You is followed by the directive of being courageous. Indeed it does take courage for me to trust You and not take matters into my own hands since that comes so naturally to my way of thinking and doing things. But as a loving, protecting and…

A Prayer For The Door Of Faith
Father, there is no higher calling in our earthly pilgrimage than to experience salvation or lead another to faith. The vast majority are looking for answers to life’s challenges and many are learning that it doesn’t come via prosperity, politics, vocational training, educational ranking, or anything else that expires at the end of this life.…

A Prayer For Genuine Faith
Father, fake abounds, and way too often it is seen in Christian circles. It has left a very bad taste in the mouth of unbelievers and has provided many an excuse for them to want nothing to do with Christianity. When we say one thing but do another we are harming our witness and we…
