At this time of Thanksgiving, Lord, we want to bless You with our lives, our thanks, our praise.
The Thanksgiving table reminds us of Your bountiful love and the blessings of Your presence with us.
Help us to stay mindful of Your goodness throughout the coming year.

God, You are so good.
You are always here for us. You never leave us. You delight to be with us.
You are the source of everything we could ever need. You know what we need before we do. If we will trust You, we will discover You have already provided in ways beyond what we could ever imagine. Continue reading “God, You Are So Good”

God, how I love Your beautiful creation in the month of May.
As I watch the orchard trees come alive with their leaves in infinite shades of green, I think of what a creative artist You are. Continue reading “God’s Beauty in May”

Lord Jesus, I give you my day.
Help me to live in the “unforced rhythms of grace,” as You teach me in Matthew 11:28-30 (MSG).

Lord, thank You for Your blessings of good health. Even though I’ve struggled with allergies, and springtime is sometimes hard, I want to thank You and praise You for the good health You have given me. I am fearfully and wonderfully made, and I don’t want allergies to distract me from the incredible blessings you have given me.

Lord Jesus,
You know I didn’t appreciate spring until I moved up north where the seasons changed.
I remember seeing those first delicate flowers on a tree branch that assured me the difficult winter would soon be over.

I am blessed to be part of a church without walls, and we aspire to live by the “unforced rhythms of grace.” That’s the way the Message translation expresses Jesus’ words in Matthew 11:28-30. When we are living from a place of rest in God’s presence, we live by the unforced rhythms of grace.

Lord Jesus, life is hard sometimes. There are days, weeks, even months when nothing seems to go right. And that’s just at home, in my own life.
Then I look out in the world, and I see chaos and darkness creeping in. I see injustice, hatred, trauma, death, and pain. Everything seems upside down. My spirit longs for peace. Continue reading “A Prayer for Peace in Times of Struggle”

A prayer inspired by the woman at the well.
Lord Jesus, I love how You show me the importance of rest. You knew when to stop and just “be.”
When I read Your story, I can feel the midday heat, the roughness of the road on Your feet, the fatigue of the journey. You knew when it was time to rest and renew. You modeled that for me.
