Dear Praying Friends! I started this day meditating on 1 Corinthians 15:58: ” Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” I feel this is where we should “camp” in prayer this week asking the Lord to show us how to remain steadfast and immovable amid a world that appears to be violently shaking right now. Let’s pray about these things and let’s keep praying, Show us Your Glory, Lord…as we steward Your gifts! Pray on, saints!~ Gina

Dear Praying Friends! Do you ever feel “stuck”? Wondering which way to turn in times of trial? This past week, I read Psalm 69 and found that David felt the same way. I love the fact that in the midst of his struggles, David still recalls that God is good. In Psalm 69:16 he says, “Answer me, Lord,for your faithful love is good. In keeping with your abundant compassion, turn to me.” In the midst of our difficulties, let’s focus this week on the goodness of God. And let’s keep praying, Show us Your Glory, Lord…as we steward Your gifts! Pray on, saints!~ Gina

Dear Praying Friends~ Here we are at Holy Week. Someone challenged me with this question this past week: “If you knew you only had one week to live, what would you say to people?” Jesus knew His betrayal and death were coming and I’m sure He was praying intensely to the Father and asking what He should say to His disciples. He knew they would be afraid and He wanted to give them instructions so they would have an “anchor” to hold to as they waited to see the fulfillment of His Word. I know the time between crucifixion and resurrection was painful and fearful for Jesus’ disciples. I am glad that Jesus instructed us in His Word to keep us anchored in these dark times. I pray that this will be a significant week for you. I encourage you to take time to read the Gospels and to be strengthened by His story again. I invite you to join me as we continue this month’s theme: “SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD as WE MAKE DISCIPLES!” We have come to the end of 40 days of prayer and this week, we will let the Holy Spirit lead us in reviewing where we have been.

Let’s pray on, Saints! ~Gina

Show Us Your Glory, Lord… March 21-24, 2024

Dear Praying Friends~ As we finish this last few days before Holy Week, things in the world feel heavy and difficult. Today, I chose to worship God, not because of what He can do for me, but because He is God and He is worthy of my worship and praise. So often, I think we look to God for what He can do for us. It is important for us to remember what He has already done. So much! I invite you to join me as we continue this month’s theme: “SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD as WE MAKE DISCIPLES!” We will continue with this theme until we come to the end of our Lent prayer calendar.

Lent 2024 began on Ash Wednesday, February 14. During this season, these posts will be focused on praying to make disciples in every area of our cities’ cultures. We have the entire prayer guide that is downloadable here.

Mark Your Calendar…Thursday, May 2, 2024 is the National Day of Prayer. The National Day of Prayer Task Force is the Christian expression of the day. Many prayer gatherings will be planned. To find a prayer event near you, check out our event finder here.

Let’s pray on, Saints! ~Gina

Show Us Your Glory, Lord… March 18-20, 2024

Dear Praying Friends~ It seems like the season of Lent just started and now here we are at the week before Holy Week. Whether you have prayed with us daily or just occasionally, I hope this season has been meaningful for you. I do plan to continue the Rhythms of Grace (ROG) posts after Lent until the Lord changes His directions to me. I have grown very much week by week, trusting the Lord in the writing of this blog. Let’s keep on praying! I invite you to join me as we continue this month’s theme: “SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD as WE MAKE DISCIPLES!” We will continue with this theme until we come to the end of our Lent prayer calendar.

Monday, March 18, 2024: Read Genesis 24:1: Praying for THE ELDERLY.

Prayer Pointer: No matter the age, Scripture tells us prayer and a relationship with God are important. The longer we live, the more years of wisdom and experiences we have to share. When saying a prayer for the elderly, we share God’s love. ~Crosswalk (see below for more)

Prayer “Fuel”: This prayer is based on a post from Crosswalk:

Father, cover the elderly people in the church with Your love and protection. May we always remember to include elderly people in conversations and activities. They have wisdom and experiences to share. I pray for the elderly who are homebound and unable to attend church in person. May they be able to worship through technology. Abba Father, please be with the elderly who are sick. They need Your healing and comfort. Remind them of Your love. Lord, help everyone to remember that older people were young, too. Each person is created by God. (add your own prayers) SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD as WE MAKE DISCIPLES among THE ELDERLY.

As You Have Time: This post is based on 25 Prayers for the Elderly on Crosswalk.com

Tuesday, March 19, 2024: Read Isaiah 14:3: Praying for ADDICTS.

Prayer Pointer: Addictions are often fueled by stress since they have a numbing effect on our emotions. Numbing ourselves is a popular way to manage stress in our society. ~Crosswalk.com

Prayer “Fuel”: This is a prayer we all could probably pray over some area of our lives: O Lord, you are my king, I sing in your honor and proclaim your constant love towards us. Lord, I surrender every person who is struggling with addiction into your hands. Heal them Father and help them to walk in freedom. Set them free from the evil chains of addictions. Don’t abandon them in their distress Lord, be their hiding place. Remove the evil desire to use drugs (or…) from their minds and hearts. May they find fulfillment in you and not in drugs (or…). In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen. (add your own prayers) SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD as WE MAKE DISCIPLES among the ADDICTS.

Think/Journal/Apply: Many in local detention centers are addicts. Consider prayer walking or driving there asking the Lord to set the captives free from addictions.

Wednesday, March 20, 2024 : Read Matthew 23:37,39: Praying for CHILDREN.

Prayer Pointer: When you are tempted to worry about the safety of your child, their friendships, their health, and their future, the best thing to do is pray! There is power in prayer to heal, protect, and comfort. Whether your child is a newborn, in grade school, or an adult – they never stop needing the prayers of their parents interceding on their behalf! ~Crosswalk.com

Prayer “Fuel”: Lord, I pray Your emotional, physical, and spiritual protection over my children. Keep evil far from them, and help them to trust You as their refuge and strength. I pray You will guard my children’s minds from harmful instruction, and grant them discernment to recognize truth. I pray You will make them strong and courageous in the presence of danger, recognizing that You have overcome and will set right all injustice and wrong one day. Help them to find rest in Your shadow, as they lives in the spiritual shelter You provide for them. Let our children know that the only safe place is in Jesus and that their home on earth is only temporary. In Jesus name, amen ~Rebecca Barlow Jordan (add your own prayers) SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD as WE MAKE DISCIPLES among CHILDREN.
