Daily Prayers

Creation Sings

Heavenly Father, You alone are God. There is none beside you. There is no one like you, knowing the end from the beginning. The sound of your voice makes the foundations of the earth tremble. Those who trust in you shall not be moved, though the forces of hell rage

Perfection and Confession

Heavenly Father, You are perfection itself. In you is no darkness at all. Your very presence sears away all sin and iniquity. Yet, I am a man of an unclean heart among a people of unclean hearts. My sins are many so that I am not even aware of them

Oblivious

Heavenly Father, You are my God, yet I chase after comfort and ease. I am scared to take up my cross and follow you. I sit on the sidelines as a spectator while the war of salvation rages around me. Do not allow me to be oblivious. Inspire my heart

Returning Once Again

Heavenly Father, Increase my hunger for you and my thirst for righteousness. Take my hard heart of stone and replace it with a heart of flesh. Overcome the impulse in me to run away and hide from your presence. This morning, may I bask in the loving glow of your

Slowing Down

Heavenly Father, Help me to slow down. I am so consumed with things I must do and changes I must make that I don’t leave room for you. Quiet my mind and still my heart. Let me wait for you patiently. Push aside the intruding thoughts that I may

Cold Heart

Heavenly Father, I confess that I do not feel the joy of my salvation. My heart feels cold, and I have done nothing to rekindle its flame. My emotions are asleep, and that seems comfortable. But I am a being of flesh, spirit, mind, and heart. I cannot deny your

Praise the Eternal

Heavenly Father, From before the world was brought into being, you are God. When nothing existed but you, you are worthy of honor and praise. Indeed, you are the uncreated one, eternal and unchanging yesterday, today, and forever. The word of your power holds all creation together. You spoke into

Delight

Balance

Heavenly Father, Indeed you are the Lord God almighty. May my mind drink deep of your truth. Saturate my heart with your love. Unless you are at work, my labors are in vain. Bless the tasks that you have set before me. Let me do them as an offering of

My Lover

Heavenly Father, You are the architect of the universe. You are the engineer who designed the ways and rules of creation. You are the artist who devised every sunrise. You are the king who rules over the courses of empires and nations. You are the lover who passionately pursues me.

Certainty

Heavenly Father, I am distracted, so I offer you praise. I am pulled in a thousand different directions, so I wait for you. The clutter of to-do lists and tasks makes it hard to think, so I am still. The earth trembles at the voice that spoke light into being.

Reach of to me.

Heavenly Father, To you, I light my voice in prayer. To you, I cry out. You have been my help and salvation from my youth. Many times, I have called on your name, and you have answered me. Your timing and ways are not what I, in my limited perspective,

Still and Silent

Heavenly Father, You are worthy of praise, but my heart is still. You are worthy of song, but my voice is silent. I feel like the seed being choked out by the cares of the world. Let me not be anxious about anything, but with prayer and supplication, may I

In God Alone

Heavenly Father, In you alone does salvation rest. The storehouses of goodness and love are in your being. Every flash of truth is a result of your grace. I am but a creature, finite and weak. I cannot do the things I set my mind to and find myself doing

God Breathed

Heavenly Father, I read your word, but my heart is not stirred within me. Open my eyes to your presence indwelling the text. The scriptures are breathed out by you. Your power and glory are revealed. Your character is displayed. Yet, I feel it not. Whether it is morning tiredness

New Beginning

Heavenly Father, Like the first man after the first sin, I have hidden myself from you in my shame. The instinct of my broken heart is to cover myself that you may not see. I realize that my folly runs deep, but the actual depth of it eludes me. Teach

Haze

Heavenly Father, I struggle to focus on you. My thoughts are fixed on the physical world I can perceive and the mental landscape I can’t escape. Whims and emotions flit through my consciousness, demanding my attention. Elevate my soul out of this morass. Set me free to view your

Shadows

Fleeting

Walk in Your Paths

Heavenly Father, You have made this day. In your sovereign power, you have ordained the unfolding of it. Grant me the grace to walk in the good works you have prepared in advance. So often, my actions feel rote and uninspired. Reveal to my heart that I can glorify you
