Rhythms of Grace

March 10-16, 2025

A song that fits our Theme…Open the Heavens…show us Your glory!

Dear Praying Friends, This past week, I was able to receive instruction from an Episcopalian monk. The “monastic” lifestyle is very different from the lives that most of us live. Those living this lifestyle spend much time in quiet and in prayer. I was fascinated by it all and he assured us that we all can practice a bit more quiet, even in our busy lives. I am trying to take more time to be silent and present with our Lord. It takes practice, but I feel it will help me draw closer to Him. Let’s keep seeking Him for more quiet in our noisy world.

This month, let’s continue to pray:

Show Us Your Glory, Lord… Help Us to THRIVE in 2025 and help us to BE STILL and KNOW!

Pray on, Saints! ~Gina

Monday, March 10, 2025: BE STILL! Jeremiah 29:11

Prayer Pointer: Our prayers are never lost or meaningless.

Prayer “Fuel”: Lord, I am grateful that You know the plans that You have for my life. This week, when anxiety tries to come in, please remind me that You do. Help my brothers and sisters everywhere to take a deep breath when anxiety descends on their hearts. Help us all to wait and to know that You hear our every prayer and that each prayer matters. (add your own prayers) Show Us Your Glory, Lord… Help Us to THRIVE in 2025 and help us to BE STILL and KNOW!

Think/Journal/Apply: Do I doubt that God hears me when I pray? Talk to Him about this.

As You Have Time: Take some time today to “practice” silence. Yes, I think we’d all agree that silence is hard and it takes practice. Try setting your timer for 5 minutes or more as you grow in the ability to be still! We need to learn to practice silence. You may want to start by simply saying, “Speak, Lord, your servant is listening.” Ok…ready, set, go!

I hope a few will join me this week in prayer as we continue to navigate these chaotic times. When I awoke on Sunday, March 2, I felt like the Lord was telling me to be still. Stillness is difficult for me and I have to be intentional in practicing it. This week, I’m hopeful to spend more time in silence and stillness so that discernment will come. I invite you to do the same.

A song that fits our Theme…Open the Heavens…show us Your glory!

Dear Praying Friends, This past week has been quite a show of God’s glory! I’m still running in the “overflow” of how the Holy Spirit moved! A few days ago, I was with a group of friends praying for our town. (Laramie, WY) We focused on how FAITHFUL God is and we were encouraged to keep remembering His faithfulness in the past as we navigate some choppy “spiritual waters” looking to the future. I feel assured that His faithfulness will continue to lead us as we seek Him. But this is the important part of it…HE WANTS US TO SEEK HIM! Don’t fill up your calendar with lots of things and forsake Your time with Him. This week will consist of 2 or more posts providing daily Bible/prayer prompts.

A song that fits our Theme…Open the Heavens…show us Your glory!

Dear Praying Friends, Because I have felt the need to create more “white space” on my calendar, the blog post this week is very simple with just one prayer prompt. Usually once or twice a year, I have the privilege of praying with the Governor of my state. This week I am excited to pray with the Governor and the 1st Lady together. I invite you to join me in praying for your Governor, too. And take some time to take a deep breath and rest in the Lord. Blessings! Gina

God’s Word tells us in 1 Timothy 2:1-4 that we should pray for those in authority and especially that they will be saved. So please, as you are able, pray.

A song that fits our Theme…Open the Heavens…show us Your glory!

Dear Praying Friends, This past week the Lord took me back to the theme of “Egypt” in the Bible. A few weeks ago, I was studying what Egypt represents and found this: While initially seen as a place of refuge in famine or threat, Egypt becomes a place of oppression and slavery. For New Testament believers, Egypt represents our old life of slavery to sin. I find it interesting that the place that started as refuge ended up as oppression. It makes me think about the places where we, the people of God, may be refusing to move forward into the greater promises of God. Are there “old wineskins” that become oppressive in our lives? I imagine so! So let’s keep praying and asking God for a greater sense of His presence and glory in our lives individually and corporately.

During February let’s pray:

Show Us Your Glory, Lord…Help us to THRIVE in 2025 and help us to leave the old behind!

Pray on, Saints! ~Gina
