A prayer committing all of me to all of Jesus—not necessarily these exact words, but this spirit is what we need as followers of Jesus in these days. #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily #discoverYourAmazing

In reading this prayer, I thought of the old Southern Gospel song “Looking for a City.” It’s interesting that, at the renewal of all things, the place where we will dwell with God (and one another) is portrayed as a city rather than wide open spaces. #withgoddaily #weeklyprayer #discoverYourAmazing

The “power of prayer” is seen most powerfully in the changes that happen, not in surrounding circumstances, but in the one who prays. #itstartswithme #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily #discoverYourAmazing

I pray a prayer very similar to this each morning as I begin my “coffee and Jesus” time. What might our days be like if we were intentional about our spiritual preparation? #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily #discoverYourAmazing

This prayer seems very exclusive until we acknowledge that we’ll never be able to share the love of Jesus with the world as long as we’re squabbling amongst ourselves. #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily #discoverYourAmazing

🌿 Week 1 of Lent — A Prayer for Awareness. Take a moment today to pause, breathe, and pray. If this prayer brings you peace, share it with someone who may need encouragement, and join us each week on this Lenten journey. 🙏#Lent #WeeklyPrayer #PauseAndPray

There are so many powerful images in this prayer! Who’s in? Those in need of help and community. Who’s out? Those who sow discord. Why come? Because the eternal kingdom can be found through the community of faith. #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily #discoverYourAmazing

If we are seeing the world through lenses of offense, enmity, and fear, we are not seeing through God’s eyes. We’re. Just. Not. #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily #discoverYourAmazing

If our prayer focuses on the changes we want to see in others instead of the necessary changes in ourselves, we will be continuously frustrated and offended. #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily #discoverYourAmazing

For whom are we praying? And what will we do because of our prayers? #withgoddaily #weeklyprayer #discoverYourAmazing

I so deeply feel this prayer. Lord, be patient with my stupidity and help me to be less stupid and do less stupid stuff. #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily #discoverYourAmazing

Even the desire to seek God is a gift of grace from God. #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily #discoverYourAmazing

I love this so much! May our lives spread the fragrance of Jesus and wear the beauty of Jesus in every moment and every location. #withgoddaily #weeklyprayer #discoverYourAmazing

Love. God’s love. God’s love TO me, IN me, THROUGH me FROM me FOR His glory and pleasure and FOR His world. This is the way. #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily #discoverYourAmazing

Our greatest challenge in living the Christ-life is not the sinners around us, but the powerful potential of sin in us. I think we would be surprised at how our external battles would fade if we win the inner battles by God’s grace. #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily #discoverYourAmazing

When we pray for THE CHURCH, may our imaginations and aspirations extend beyond our local congregations to see and pray for our global siblings. And may we see ourselves as part of a family that is so much broader than we could possibly imagine. #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily #discoverYourAmazing

If our prayers are mostly focused on seeking to increase our own blessings & well-being rather than on the flourishing of the marginalized & vulnerable, we will likely find ourselves less satisfied with what we have and more fearful of what the vulnerable are costing us. #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily

Grace is not just for when we have failed to follow. We need grace to follow because, left to our own devices, we won’t. #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily #discoverYourAmazing

If you read the last few lines of this prayer and think of “Godspell” you probably need to schedule some medical procedures. Regardless, it’s a good prayer for all of us. #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily #discoverYourAmazing

Help us look beyond this moment in time (not overlook, but look beyond) and realize that our hope lies in what is eternal. #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily #discoverYourAmazing

This week’s prayer was too long for a single slide, but too good to skip. God’s fierce justice allows us to feel both the weight of our sin and the tenderness of His forgiveness. #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily #discoverYourAmazing

“I want to see you as you were, as you are, and as you always will be.” YES! #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily #discoverYourAmazing

Perhaps we should begin our prayers with what we’re bringing TO Jesus, rather than with what we’re requesting FROM Jesus. #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily #discoverYourAmazing

Perhaps a good prayer to begin the week: that we—as His branches—would abide in the Vine. #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily #discoverYourAmazing

When the “things of earth … grow strangely dim” because of our keen awareness of His amazing love. #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily #discoverYourAmazing

Any time we start drawing lines between “us” and “them”—ANY TIME—it’s time for us to take a long, hard look at our own hearts. #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily #discoverYourAmazing

“More like Jesus” will always be cross-shaped, self-emptying, long-suffering—all for the sake of the undeserving. Let that sink in. #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily #discoverYourAmazing

To say that all suffering is ordained by God “for a reason” OR that all suffering is a result of sin or demonic attack—these answers are equally misinformed. Instead of analyzing causes, may we pray for the grace to bear whatever comes in a way that looks like Jesus. #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily

Our “inward” and “outward” lives are not two separate things, but two integrated parts of a whole life—a wholeness that God gifts to us that we may return it gratefully to Him. #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily #discoverYourAmazing

I’m a proponent of books (I’ve written a few) and sermons (I’ve preached thousands), but not one of them has changed anyone’s life. Books and sermons don’t do that. At best, they point to the Life Changer, who wants to encounter each of us personally. #weeklyprayer #withgoddaily #discoverYourAmazing
