Lord Jesus, this is the day that You have made, and we are trying to rejoice and be glad in it. It takes more effort these days because the days run together.
It’s harder to tell one day from the next during this quarantine.
We hear the same news day after day. We face the same grief of loved ones lost yesterday and the uncertainty of tomorrow.
Will my job survive this? How long will I be unemployed? Will my kids go back to school this year and what happens next school year?
And all that swallows up the gift called Today.
The one You prepared for us to enjoy. So, we ask You for grace. Grace to stay in today—because today’s grace is all You give.
When tomorrow comes, so will its own issues.
And we are just not built to handle tomorrow’s problems today. So, Lord, help us conserve our strength.
Give us this day our daily bread.
Give us a word to cling to today—a word to sustain us and keep us sane.
Jesus, be the lamp to our feet and the light to our path. For too long we lived believing we made our own way. This pandemic robbed us of that delusion.
It is clear we’re completely dependent on You.
And that is the safest place to be. So, while it is today, we won’t harden our hearts to You.
We accept your invitation to enter your rest, confident You will perfect what concerns us. Surely your arm is not too short to save nor your ear too dull to hear!
So, we’ll take this one day at a time.
It’s in your faithful name, Lord Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Inspired by Matthew 6:34
“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?
