Rhythms of Grace

Dear Praying Friends, On a recent Psalm 91 Daily Call, a special praying friend shared a testimony about how she felt “seen” by caring neighbors who had checked in on her. This made me start thinking about how we are always “seen” by God even when we feel isolated from people. It is good and comforting to know that we are ALWAYS under His watchful eye. So that inspires my prayer for this week. I invite you to join me:

Friday, May 23, 2025: Psalm 138:8

Prayer Pointer: “Prayer is the window that God has placed in the walls of our world. Leave it shut and the world is a cold, dark house. But throw back the curtains and see His light. Open the window and hear His voice.” ~ Max Lucado

Prayer Fuel: Lord, You always see me and You see the battles that I face here everyday. Help me to remember that the battle belongs to You. Help me to rest in Your loving care, knowing that You see everything that I am going through. (add your own prayers) SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD! HELP US TO THRIVE IN 2025 AND HELP US TO REMEMBER THAT YOU SEE US!

Think/Journal/Apply:  What would it look like today to stop striving and simply trust God with the unseen?

As You Have Time: Pray for your CITY and Transformation for cities.  Peaceful Communities: Heavenly Father, bring peace to our neighborhoods. Remove any spirit of violence and replace it with love and understanding. Help us to live in harmony and support one another. Amen.

Related verse: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” — Matthew 5:9~prayersfor.com

Blessings to each of you, Gina

Prayer Pointer: …when we feel most invisible and forgotten by everyone else, we can remember that God does see us. He witnesses our struggles and comes alongside us.

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!

Dear Praying Friends, The last few days I have been struggling with DOUBT. I’m being honest here! I was praying for a miracle for several people and had to battle the thought: CAN GOD REALLY DO THIS? So this week, this is my prayer :

Friday, May 16, 2025: Jude 1:22

Prayer Pointer: A downcast soul isn’t a failure. It’s an invitation to preach truth to your heart. Speak it. Believe it. Sing it—because your Savior hasn’t moved. And He never will. Even in your struggle, the One who holds your life is worthy of your trust.-Our Daily Verse

Prayer Fuel: Lord, thank You for having mercy on me when I doubt You. Help me to show the same mercy to others who doubt. Help me as I minister to the lost and afraid. Let me be just like You. (add your own prayers) SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD! HELP US TO THRIVE IN 2025 AND HELP OUR UNBELIEF!

Think/Journal/Apply: What do you need to call on God for today?

Tuesday, May 13, 2025: 1 Corinthians 14:33

But you can give thanks in everything because he’s promised to “never leave you nor forsake you” (Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV). -Rick Warren
