Guided Prayer Project

"The lament psalms give us a blueprint for taking all of our anger, frustration, sadness, fear, sorrow and presenting it to God." Using Psalm 13 as our template, we offer to the Lord our spaces of brokenness.  

Waiting on the Lord can feel like some cruel punishment. But what if there is something spiritual in the waiting? What if there is peace?

How can our limits push us towards Christ? The Lord's Prayer may have a clue. 

Psalm 150 closes the psalter with uproarious praise. As we praise, we offer thanks to God for the ways He's blessed us by way of promise, provision, people, and purpose. Take a a journey of gratitude.

Our imagination surrounding God can often use some reform, let the scriptures reshape and reform how you consider God's comfort.  2 Cor 1.  

Psalm 13

Look back to the Apostles Creed to help guide you in this moment.   "It is often good to be reminded of the faith we've been invited into." 

Do you feel the fear pressing in? Do you sense resources run scarce? Do you pick up on the latent anxiety around you? You've already been given everything in Jesus. 

Anxiety, meet more than enough hope.

Jesus offers us freedom. But some of us need to hear specific words in order to walk in freedom. This prayer leads us into a listening posture.

For our first Guided Prayer, we take a journey of gratitude as a faithful response to fear. We can transform our fear when we recognize that we can bring our fear to the Lord, respond with gratitude, and recognize that He is on the throne. Text: Revelation 4
