Lord Jesus, You said, You didn’t come to be served but to serve.
But we don’t believe that.
When You invite us to join You in what You’re doing, we take off and get busy—treating it more like an assignment than an invitation.
We think more highly of ourselves than we ought to. And while we mean well, we wear ourselves out, working from our empty flesh instead of a full spirit.
And just like You did Martha, You remind us we’re worried about many things when only one thing is needful—to sit at your feet and drink deeply from You.
Our well is limited, we run dry quickly.
So, You promise living water to those who drink deeply from your well—water springing up in us to bless many.
Give us that water. We humble ourselves, like Mary, admitting we need You more than we imagine You need us.
Help us receive from You.
We are doing more than ever these days and without You, we can do none of it. We surrender our weakness and self-imposed timetables to You in exchange for your strength and perfect timeline.
And where we’ve run ahead, we fall back and follow your lead.
It’s in your glorious name, Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Inspired by Luke 10:41-42.
“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.
Got A Minute to Pray is a collection of 60 Bible-based prayers for today’s challenges like worry, anxiety, and depression.
These prayers are both powerful and practical. They connect your needs with God’s heart by echoing what God has already promised you. Because, unlike people, God always stands behind His word.
These guided prayers reduce anxiety and restore the peace you long for.
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?
