Here we are, Father!
You’ve brought us into 2020, into a new year in a new decade and we thank You. We’re grateful because we have friends and family who didn’t cross over with us. Life is indeed a miracle.
So here we are with big plans and anticipation, believing for something new. We birthed some plans in our quiet time—the result of time in the Word and chatting with You. And some are simply hopes brewing in our hearts.
But You plan too. Your plans are full of peace, health, and prosperity to bring us into a future only You know about.
No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what You have in store for those who love You.
We think we know, but we don’t. So, we’re holding our well thought-out plans up to You. Better yet, we place them in your hands as an offering. Because You want better for us than we want for ourselves—and You know the way.
So yeah, it’s a new year and we’re excited, not because of a fistful of plans but because of a heart full of faith. Faith in the God whose thoughts we cannot number, and whose plans for us are oh so good!
It’s in Jesus’ name, the only name that saves and gives hope, we pray. Amen!
Prayer inspired by 1 Corinthians 2:9.
NOTE: Amazing how at the beginning of 2020 we had no idea the worldwide pandemic we’d face that would up end all of our plans. May we always hold our plans loosely and look to the Lord in faith.
“I have no words right now.”
We’ve all been there. Life hands you a problem you can’t even put into words, much less solve. And whether you’re a longtime believer who’s discouraged, you’re new to faith in Christ or you’re wondering what this “Jesus stuff” is all about, talking with God about what you’re facing feels so far out of reach.
What if there were a way to making talking to God easier?
You may not know what to say or you may not want to pray. But if you’re overwhelmed, speechless, and confused about what to do next, Jesus wants to help you.

Christian prayer is not about religion. It’s a relationship with the living God. And when you have no words for what you’re facing, Jesus has plenty. So, you got a minute to pray?
