Oh, holy and perfect Father, we come to You in the presence of thousands of angels joyfully singing the praises of your glory.
We come as the church of the firstborn—Son of God, Son of Man—grateful You wrote our names in heaven.
We come because of a new covenant written in Jesus’ blood—the Blood that speaks better things.
It speaks better than the guilt, judgment and condemnation Abel’s blood cried. A blood commemorating the acts of sinful flesh: wicked words and hateful hands.
The Blood speaks freedom, forgiveness, blessing, hope, peace, acceptance, and victory.
So, we come out from the lying labels and wicked wounds placed on us to bear Jesus’ name and righteousness, instead.
We come rehearsing the better narrative The Blood speaks. Because while we play a part in walking out our freedom, there are aspects where “nothing but The Blood” will do.
We’re grateful for The Blood that will never lose its power.
So speak the Blood, when past foes or present fears try naming us anything other than chosen and redeemed. Speak until your words pulse between our temples and, believing, we come into ALL our Father has for us!
It’s in the name of Jesus, the One whose Blood paid it all, we pray. Amen.
Prayer inspired by Hebrews 12:24.
“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?
