Dear Praying Friends,
I think God is teaching me the “power of slow.” In a world that pushes us constantly to rush, rush, rush, the “power of slow” is a discipline to learn. I have become conscious of how much I feel rushed, even when I don’t have to be. The Holy Spirit has been teaching me to eliminate the rush and to embrace the slow. I hope this will encourage you to take a breath and to care for your soul. Let’s keep asking God to help us.
And so I pray on into August 2025 and I invite you to join me:
SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD! HELP US TO THRIVE IN 2025 AND HELP US TO BE UNSHAKABLE. (based on Psalm 62:6)
Let’s keep praying for Nation and neighbor…
Thursday, August 7, 2025: Hebrews 11:1
Prayer Pointer: But here’s the truth, friend: the problem isn’t in your schedule—it’s in your spirit. It’s in the mindset of scarcity that whispers, You’re behind. You’re not enough. There’s no time to rest. ~John Barrett
Prayer Fuel: Lord, my faith in You gives me the assurance that You are there and that You care. Even though I can’t see You, I trust that You are working in my life for my good. Help my brothers and sisters everywhere to have a great assurance of Your love today. Help us all to slow down in this fast paced world so that we can truly hear You. I pray in Your Name and I stand in Your Name..(add your own prayers here) SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD! HELP US TO THRIVE IN 2025 AND HELP US TO BE UNSHAKABLE. (based on Psalm 62:6)
Think/Journal/Apply: Where in your life do you need to give yourself permission to rest?
