Crappy Day Pray

09/09/2026

Dear friends,

Have you felt a calling on your life, but fear the first steps?

Maybe you want to follow Jesus more closely, but fear, fatigue or even unanswered questions keep you from stepping forward.

Think about this. The wise men took steps forward in order to see Jesus, even when it led them straight to Herod, and the danger he presented. Matthew 2:13-14 shows that they took those steps and pressed on. They finally were able to fall at the feet of Jesus and worship. They trusted God would make a way the entire journey, and He did.

Maybe you’re in a season where you need to pray for courage to take those first steps…or steps to carry on. You are not alone. He is there!

Offer Him your gifts today, and be willing to follow Him where He takes you. You’ll be surprised what you’re capable of. And it will be so worth it!

Blessings!

Dear friends,

Why do we constantly remind ourselves of the past? I mean, memories that are good, sure, remember them fondly. However, the foul things that have been done to us, the sins we’ve committed or thoughts that run away with our peace need to be placed aside.

The Bible says in Isaiah 43:18-19b “Do not remember the former things,
Or ponder the things of the past.
“Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing,”

If we’re absorbed in our past, we cannot see the present, or more importantly, the future things to come.

God wants to do a work in our lives. Set things of the past apart, and make sure you’re listening to his word through your prayer life and your worship so that you can hear what it is that he has planned for you.

Keep praying and pressing forward to the good things of God!

Blessings!

Dear Lord,

Great IS your faithfulness!!! Thank You, Father for never leaving us. You gave everything to save us so we could be with You forever. We praise Your name! May we burn with the light as we come before You in praise. May You find us faithful, Lord. May we learn to spend time with You, praise You and give You all the glory. I pray for everyone who’s hearing this prayer that they may come to know You in a close, personal way. May we all learn that choosing to be with You, like Mary, is the best way. That’s the faithfulness that You desire. You want us to sit at Your feet. You want us to listen to You. You want us in Your word. Thank You for the word Lord, that feeds us daily, and Lord, help us understand and hear from You.

In Jesus name,
AMEN

Dear friends,

Romans 14:17 says, “For the kingdom of God is not for eating and drinking [what one likes,] but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.”

If you have accepted the Lord, Jesus Christ, as your savior, you are righteous.

So many people are not at peace, and find no joy in their like because they don’t realize that they’re righteous. You’ve been covered by the blood…be happy!

Let’s read more about righteousness today, and I pray each of us finds peace and joy the way we should…given to us by our comforter, the Holy Ghost. Rest today and always knowing He sees and loved you.

Blessings!

Dear friends,

The Bible says in Phillipians 4:6 "Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God.”

It’s not that He doesn’t know what you need or even want; but he wants your time and attention. And the peace you’ll find when you pray is unfathomable. More importantly, we’re to pray with thanksgiving.

What does thanksgiving mean? Well, I believe that it isn’t just about praise, although that’s most important. It’s also about expectations.

We all have expectations, so let him hear your gratitude through prayer that you know that you know He’s going to come through. That way your anxiety will be resolved. He really does hear you!

Blessings!

Dear friends,

Have you ever been afraid of things, or of doing something? I am guilty of fear of success rather than failure. The pressure to have to do it perfectly, or be judged, is real. So, rather the to do what I should do, I put things off. If you’ve ever had difficulty in doing things, I’m in good company.

There’s going to be fear at times, but we overcome with Christ. Courage isn’t fearlessness. It’s taking the next right step with Him, trusting His strength.

Let’s pray to become willing to take those “right” steps with Him today, and see where He takes us. Do not be afraid of the journey!

Blessings!

Dear friends,

No matter where you are today, God is with you! He wants you to lean on Him.

You may be in a great place, and I pray you are! I pray that there’s nothing overwhelming you right now, and that your walk is light. But you might be struggling. Perhaps in all you’re living through, you’ve lost your joy.

Nehemiah 8:10b says, “And do not be worried, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and your stronghold.'”

Maybe you’re stumbling because of financial problems. Or maybe it’s health that plagues you. Whatever it is, I encourage you to know that God is there!

He never says anywhere in the Bible that we will have an easy life. But He does say that He will carry us through right there in Isaiah 41: 10. “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will hold on to you with my righteous right hand”.

Turn your cares over to the one who cares for you today. He’s got you, and wants to bring you joy!!!

Blessings!

Dear friends,

The presence of Jesus doesn’t mean there will be no storm.

Sometimes God doesn’t keep you from the fire, He meets you in it. He doesn’t always keep you out of the den, He shuts the lions mouths in it.

So when the storm comes, don’t panic.

The same God who was with Daniel in the den, who stood with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fire, is with you in your storm.

You may not be spared from the storm, but you will never face it alone.

Rest. Trust Him. He is still in the boat.

Blessings!

Dear friends,

Tonight I come to you from my sofa, and I’m feeling like I should pray for you.

Lord,
Please be with the readers of this page. Cover them with Your righteous right hand, and draw them closer to You.
May each person bow their knee and submit to Your will. May they understand that You desire to bless them. You are such a great God!
In all ways we come before You in praise for the wonderful God You are, and find Your love overflowing.
Thank You, Jesus, that we can come to You personally. Thank You for hearing our prayers.
May we listen to what You want to say, and glean more from Your word. Help us dive in to all things that glorify You!
In Your Name We Pray,
AMEN

Blessings!
