PRAYER

Lord God, our Heavenly Father, we have witnessed Your faithfulness across every season, and we are humbled to be counted among Your children. We pray before You today, grateful that by Your mercy we are heard.

We stand before You in a moment that asks much of us. We confess that we fall short of Your glory and we approach You on no other basis than Your mercy. Yet we stand not in our own righteousness but by Your grace alone, secured for us through the cross and resurrection of Christ.

And therefore we stand not in despair but in quiet confidence, knowing that neither this moment, nor any other, can separate us from Your love.

For no government, no ruler, no power on earth has ever been required to accomplish Your purposes, nor can any of them stand against You. Your kingdom has outlasted every empire that imagined itself invincible, and it will outlast this moment too.

Hear us then, through our Savior, in whom every promise of God is yes. Grant us the peace that is not the absence of trouble but Your presence within it, and joy that this week cannot take from us, by the power of Your Holy Spirit within us. For the sake of our families, our children, all who gather in Your name, and our nation, we trust in You.

In the mighty name of Jesus,

Amen.

SCRIPTURE

15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Romans 12:2 (NKJV)
πŸ™25❀13
PRAYER

Heavenly Father, how great is the grace that keeps us. You chose us. You redeemed us. You called us by Your Spirit, and You have not let us go. Not one promise You have made has ever failed, and not one ever shall. We praise You.

We see clearly the battle for human life, for family, for truth in our land. We will not look away from it. But we will not fear it either, for Your purposes are not shaken by what shakes us, and Your plans are not slowed by what slows us.

So fill us, Father, with the calm that comes not from everything being easy, but from knowing You. Let Your peace, the peace that passes all understanding, guard our hearts. Let Your joy, which no week can take, rise in us. And let hope overflow, for Yours does not disappoint.

Forgive us, Father, where we have fallen short. And grant us, we pray, the strength to meet every responsibility You have placed before us in the week ahead, that our daily lives reflect Your grace and truth.

And into this week we go, resting not in ourselves, but with certain and overflowing joy and hope in our Savior.

In the mighty name of Jesus,

Amen.

Almighty God in Heaven, we pray to You this week for the people of Texas Hill Country affected by the recent flooding. We pray that You will comfort those who have lost homes and livelihoods. Help provide for their needs, and bring restoration. We pray that You will strengthen the churches and communities offering shelter and aid, and fill the people with Your hope and peace.

O Father we are thankful beyond words to be called Your children. We are always mindful and thankful for the wisdom You share with us. Forgive us for where we have faltered, and strengthen us, we pray, through Your Holy Spirit with the strength we need for the week ahead.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

SCRIPTURE

11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content:

12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

20 Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

Philippians 4:11-13, 19-20 (NKJV)

Dear Father in Heaven, You teach us contentment in every circumstance and strength through Christ. We pray that You supply the strength to meet all our needs according to Your riches in glory, and grant us faith and perseverance this week so that our lives may reflect Your will and glory.

In the mighty name of Jesus,

Amen

SCRIPTURE

13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,

14 to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.

16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace,

17 comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.

2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 (NKJV)

PRAYER

Heavenly Father,

We thank You that from the beginning You have chosen us for salvation through the sanctifying work of Your Spirit and belief in the truth. You have called us by the gospel to share in the glory of our Lord.

We pray that You would establish our hearts and strengthen our hands in every good word and work. Grant us the grace and courage to stand fast, holding firmly to the truth of Your Word and the teachings handed down to us.

Comfort our hearts with Your everlasting consolation and steadfast hope, and guide us each day to walk faithfully in Your will.

In the mighty and precious name of Jesus,

Amen.
