A Prayer to Fill the Void Just like a home needs a solid foundation to withstand storms, our lives need the firm foundation of Christ to endure trials and hardships.In this episode by Nicolet Bell, we’ll consider how building on Christ brings strength, hope, and community support in every season—and how to invite him to fill in the hidden voids of our lives, making us steady and secure in Him. Reference: Matthew 7:24-27 Prayer: Jesus, thank You for being with me even under pressure. Thank You for always holding me through the worst of times. Help me to build my life on Your foundation.

A Prayer for Help with Hard Decisions As parents, mentors, and believers, we’re challenged to nurture children’s spiritual growth with the same passion we give to academics or sports, trusting that God desires them to grow in wisdom, stature, and favor with Him and with others. In today's prayer by Nicolet Bell we take a look at the story of Jesus at the temple as a child and how this teaches us about the spiritual capacity of children and how we can encourage their faith. Reference: Luke 2:41-52 Prayer: Lord, thank You for guiding me each day with Your Protection and Love. Help me with the hard decisions and when I’m not sure what to do next. I pray for Your Wisdom to live the best life I possibly can. In Jesus’s Name, Amen.

A Prayer to Reap What You Sow Peace is one of the deepest longings of our hearts, and yet it can feel just out of reach—especially in strained relationships.In today's episode by Brooke McGlothlin, we explore how true wisdom is shown in the way we live and get along with others. It’s not always easy—just like tending a garden takes sweat, patience, and perseverance—but sowing peace is always worth the effort. God promises a harvest of righteousness for those who keep planting seeds of reconciliation, dignity, and honor. Reference: James 3:18 Prayer: Father, give me and my family the desire to do the right thing, even if the favor isn't returned, sowing seeds of peace in the dark, troubled places of our lives. Over time, Lord, we pray that you will grow those seeds, produce fruit that glorifies your name, and produce a harvest of righteousness in your people. In Jesus' name, amen.

A Prayer to Love Your Neighbor Being a good neighbor is more than kindness—it’s a reflection of Christ’s love.Today's prayer by Rachael Adams explores Jesus’ teaching of the Good Samaritan, reminding us that love isn’t limited to those who are easy to care for, but extends to everyone God places in our path. Loving our neighbor means recognizing needs and acting in compassion, without bias or judgment. Reference: Mark 12:31 Prayer: Father, some people are easy to love, but others can be more difficult. Forgive me for not reaching out to my neighbors when I should have. Lead me to know when and how to help the people you have intentionally placed around me. No matter where I go or who I meet, help me to see each individual as a person to love and as an opportunity to fulfill your command to love my neighbor. In Jesus' name, amen.

A Prayer to Release the Mess Motherhood can feel like hard, fruitless labor—pouring out everything and still ending up with empty hands and an empty heart. In today's episode by Brooke McGlothlin, we reflect on Peter’s exhausting night of fishing with no results and the moment Jesus asked him to try again. Against all odds, Peter obeyed and witnessed a miracle.. Reference: Luke 5: 1-9 Prayer: Jesus, I give this messy life to you. These messy kids, my messy attempts to be what they need, our messy, sinful responses to life. I give it all to you. Meet me here in these moments. Help me remember that you are what my kids really need and that I have access to you in prayer, both for myself and my kids, to give me the strength I need to keep going. Help me throw the nets out. Help me throw the nets out one more time. Thank you for hearing when I pray. In Jesus' name, amen.

A Prayer to Release Expectations Discipling our kids rarely goes as planned, right? In today's episode, Nicolet Bell reminds us that parenting is a roller coaster, but God calls us to keep His Word central in family life and trust Him to work in the hearts of our children.Deuteronomy 6 reminds us that the Word of God should be woven into the everyday rhythms of our homes, even as our kids squirm, giggle, or pout. What matters most is that we are faithfully pointing them to Scripture. Reference: Deuteronomy 6:6-7 Prayer: Father, remind us of the importance of impressing your word on our children. Help us to remember and talk about your word as a part of our daily rythmns and routines. Help us to be intentional in pointing our children to you. Help us to release our expectations of what this time will look like, putting our attention and focus on you alone. Give our children a hunger for your word. In Jesus' name, Amen.

A Prayer to Combat Comparison Have you ever walked away from a playdate, a scroll through social media, or a simple conversation and suddenly felt like you or your family weren’t “enough”? Today's prayer by Nicolet Bell reminds us that comparison sneaks in quickly and quietly, leaving us unsettled, discontent, and distracted from the joy God desires for us. We reflect on Galatians 1:10 and the truth that we cannot seek the approval of people and the approval of God at the same time. Reference: Galatians 1:10 Prayer: Father, reveal to us who we are trying to please. In a world in constant comparison, help us to model for our children what it looks like to seek your approval, and yours alone. Guard our hearts and the hearts of our children so we might have sole devotion to you.

Even your faith can become a performance. If you love God but feel like you're always curating, producing, or proving, this recalibration will help you trade spiritual hustle for grace-rooted rest.You love God — but still feel like you're performing.Today's recalibration names the quiet ache that many high-capacity humans carry in silence: the pressure to “do faith” right. You serve, pray, and lead… but underneath, there's a haunting question: Is this really what grace feels like?This episode explores how even our deepest devotion can be hijacked by performance — not because we're insincere, but because we've been formed by a world that rewards doing more, giving more, and being more.From the disciples' debate in Mark 9 to Martin Luther's guilt-ridden striving, we unpack how even spiritual zeal can become another form of hustle — and what it means to return to rest, identity, and unearned love.You'll hear a deeply personal story, a powerful Henri Nouwen quote, and a raw reminder: God's not grading your output. He's inviting your return.Today's Micro Recalibration: Ask: Where has my faith felt like performance? Pray: God, strip away performance so I can rest in grace. Let this episode be the interruption that leads you back to grace — not as a concept, but as your lived reality.Episode Highlights Why even sincere faith can drift into performance — and how to spot itSigns your spiritual life may be more curated than connectedWhat Mark 9 reveals about the disciples' desire for status and exclusivityMartin Luther's identity crisis before the Reformation — and how grace freed himThe danger of spiritual comparison and “holy hustle” cultureThe difference between discipline and delight in your walk with GodHow performance-based faith disconnects us from presence, rest, and identityA deeply personal reflection from Julie's own season of spiritual image maintenanceHenri Nouwen's transformative quote on moving from belonging to the world → to belonging in GodWhy Identity-Level Recalibration isn't just for business or burnout — it's for your spiritual life, tooHow grace isn't earned through output — it's received in restResources: The Return of the Prodigal Son by Henri NouwenIf this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

A Prayer for a Servant's Heart One of the most powerful acts of humility recorded in Scripture—Jesus washing His disciples’ feet.In today's episode, Nicolet Bell helps us reflect on how this simple yet profound act shows us what it means to live with a servant’s heart. Jesus set the ultimate example of love, humility, and forgiveness.We are reminded that following Jesus means picking up the “towel” daily—choosing to serve and forgive, even when it’s uncomfortable. Reference: Psalm 139:7-12 Prayer: Father, I take such comfort in the fact that Even when I can't see my children, you can. There's nowhere they can go, nothing they can do, and no place they can hide, that they're outside the boundary of your love and your presence. Find them when they're in the dark and bring them into the light. In Jesus' name, amen.

A Prayer to Make the Hidden Things Known Parenting young adults is a season marked by both joy and challenge. In today’s episode by Brooke McGlothlin, we explore the tension of releasing our children into independence while still feeling the weight of responsibility as parents.While we can no longer control their schedules, choices, or environments, God’s presence never leaves them. Even in places we cannot see or reach, He is there—leading, guiding, and holding them close. Reference: Psalm 139: 7-12 Prayer: Father, I take such comfort in the fact that Even when I can't see my children, you can. There's nowhere they can go, nothing they can do, and no place they can hide, that they're outside the boundary of your love and your presence.

A Liturgy for a Heart of Hospitality How can we better welcome others into our lives and homes as Christ has welcomed us? Today's prayer by Abby Kuykendall is an invitation. Through prayer, scripture, and confession, we can be reminded that hospitality is not about perfection but about creating space for God’s love to be experienced by those around us. As we open our hearts and tables, we become reflections of the generous, welcoming God who first made room for us. Reference: Hebrews 13: 1-2 Prayer: Father, you are the epitome of hospitality. A God unlike any other. Your open arms and welcoming table invite all to come to you. You have made a home for us in your kingdom and provided everything we need. Help me to be disciplined in serving others and showing hospitality to all. I desire to reflect you. Open my heart to the needs of others and empower me to offer hospitality without hesitation. May my home be a place of comfort and solace so that no matter what circumstances people find themselves in, my table would welcome them just like the example you gave by welcoming us to your table.

In a season of Stillness, but I'm still here. ❤️‍

A Prayer for Reconcilliation In today's episode by Gina L. Smith, we reflect on the ministry of reconciliation and how it applies to one of the most important relationships in our lives—our relationships with our parents. For years, family dynamics, unspoken pain, and even cultural labels cancloud how we see those who raised us. But Scripture calls us to view others not from a worldly perspective, but through the eyes of Christ.Parents are more than their shortcomings, and when we choose to see them with compassion, we open the door for healing, restoration, and peace. Reference: 2 Corinthians 5: 16-20 Prayer: Father, help me to see my parents through eyes of grace, not from a worldly point of view, but through your eyes. Help me to follow your example and be an ambassador of reconciliation. In the same way that I have been reconciled to you, being loved and forgiven unconditionally, I pray that I would seek that in my relationships , especially in my relationship with my parents. Help me to see the good they have done, and how you have sovereignly used them in my life, and not just those things that were not done perfectly. As I live this reconciliation and grace out, may those around you come to know you and be reconciled to you as well.

A Prayer to Bear Fruit What does it truly mean to bear fruit? In today's prayer by Nicolet Bell we will uncover why “fruit” is singular and how the Spirit works holistically in our lives. It is a powerful reminder that abiding in Jesus is the only way to bear fruit that lasts. Reference: John 15:5 Prayer: Father, reveal any areas of my life that aren’t bearing your fruit. Help me to submit to your careful and caring pruning hand. Help me to model this for my children. Empty me of myself and fill me with your Spirit, that I might bear your fruit.

A Prayer Not to Rush God’s timing is always intentional and perfect.Today's prayer by Nicolet Bell looks at the story of Jesus healing the blind man at Bethsaida. Rather than healing instantly, Jesus chose a gradual process—first partial sight, then complete clarity. This miracle serves as a powerful illustration of how spiritual growth often unfolds over time. Just as the disciples’ understanding of Jesus deepened step by step, our own faith—and the faith of our children—develops progressively, not all at once. Reference: Mark 8:22-26 Prayer: Jesus, thank You for walking with me daily through this journey of life. I know I need Your gentle reminders that developing maturity takes time for both me and my children. Give me patience as I work through the challenges of each day. Help me to release my frustration to You when I wish I were farther along in my spiritual walk than I am and to trust in Your faithfulness to transform me into Your likeness. In Your name, amen.

A Prayer to Cultivate Kindness Motherhood is filled with both chaos and sweetness. In today’s devotion, we reflect on the small yet powerful acts of kindness and those tender moments that remind us of God’s love. We are reminded that we don’t always need the perfect words or solutions when others are hurting. Often, presence, gentleness, and kindness speak louder than advice. Reference: Ephesians 4:32 Prayer: Thank you God for your loving kindness. Help me to respond to the needs of others with kindness every day in every way. Teach me to react with kind words and deeds instead of anger or frustration. Help me lead my children to be kind by example. Holy Spirit empower my children to share your kindness with those around them. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

A Prayer to Share Joy Joy is contagious. Today's prayer written by Nicolet Bell reminds us that the true source of lasting joy is Jesus. When we root our joy in Him, our relationships become spaces where His Spirit overflows, bringing light and gladness to those around us. Reference: Philippians 4:4 Prayer: Father, today we rejoice in you. Help us to seek you as the fountain of joy in our lives. Help us to show up in our relationships with joy from your presence, not seeking our families to give us joy or fulfillment. May our children witness your joy in us and desire to be in relationship with you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

A Prayer to Focus on the Now Jesus calls us to trust Him with tomorrow and let go of our need for control.Today's prayer by Nicolet Bell reminds of the importance of living in the present with God. Choosing joy means choosing presence—releasing regret, fear, or striving, and experiencing the fullness of God’s love today. Reference: Matthew 6:34 Prayer: Jesus, help me to focus on what you are doing right now. Open my eyes to see the ways that you are working and moving in my life and in the life of my children. Help me not to worry about tomorrow or yesterday, but to seek your face today. In your name, Amen.

A Prayer to Combat Jealousy Jealousy is a subtle but destructive force that can creep into our hearts and relationships. In today's episode, we look at King Saul’s jealousy of David, the “green-eyed monster” Shakespeare warned of, and how jealousy can consume us if left unchecked. Through personal stories—including a lesson from kids’ soccer trophies—we explore how jealousy separates us, while love and gratitude draw us closer to God and one another. Reference: Proverbs 14:30 Prayer: Jesus, forgive me for being jealous of others. Help me to remain humble and grateful for all the blessings in my life, and to rejoice when blessings come to others. Show me the warning signs when the green-eyed monster rears its ugly head in my or my kids’ hearts, and give me the wisdom to help them navigate those situations with grace. Lord, set my children free from jealousy so that they may see others as co-laborers for Christ, rather than competitors. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

A Prayer for Comfort As I Anticipate the Next Season Have you ever sat in the bittersweet moments of parenting—when children begin to step into independence, and the reality of them slowly leaving home starts to set in?It’s in these tender seasons of grief and transition that God reminds us He is the God of all comfort, walking with us through each change. Reference: 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 Prayer: Father, you are the Father of mercies and comfort. Thank you for allowing me the freedom to grieve and for promising that you are there to comfort and uphold me. I need your strength and comfort as my children get older, more independent, and eventually leave home. I want to glorify you in this transition, even though it is one of the hardest life changes. Please use me in the lives of others who might be going through a similar season. Help me to comfort others in the same way you have comforted me. Amen.

What if hospitality wasn’t about a spotless home, the perfect meal, or curated moments—but simply about presence? A Prayer for an Open Door Today’s episode by Abby Kuykendall, we explore the beauty of opening our doors, fingerprints and all, and welcoming others the way Christ welcomes us. From Zacchaeus’ messy house to Matthew’s table full of “disreputable sinners,” Scripture reminds us that hospitality is about grace, not performance. Reference: Matthew 9:10 Prayer: Lord, you see the hearts of every mom juggling laundry, dinner, errands and little hands tugging at her all at once. You know the weight we carry when we feel like we have to do it all and do it perfectly. But you remind us in Hebrews 12, one, to lay aside every weight and sin which clings so closely and to run with endurance the race that is set before us. Today we choose to throw off the heavy cloak of perfection that entangles us and instead fix our eyes on you. Our hospitable Lord who has prepared a table for us and invited us in. Teach us to work diligently, not for the applause, but out of love for you. Help us to see that an open heart matters more than a perfect home and that every act of service is holy when it's done for you. Let our homes be places of peace, our tables be places of welcome, and our lives a reflection of your open armed grace. In Jesus' name, amen.

How to Pray God's Word for Our Children Often, our prayers as parents can feel reactive—born out of desperation in the middle of tantrums, challenges, or long days.

In our 1 Kings reading we find Solomon's wonderful beginning as he loved Yahweh his God and offers a thousand cattle at Gibeon as a mark of thanksgiving to Almighty God, Solomon's Sovereign. King Solomon also married Pharaoh's daughter, who he loved deeply as the Song of Solomon shows. It was at Gibeon that the Almighty appeared to Solomon and him to ask from God whatever he desired. Solomon requests wisdom to rule the people of the LORD according to divine ways, indeed a wise choice indicating that Solomon already possessed, to a large extent, wisdom. In the understanding of human behaviour Solomon demonstrates that he was able to discern who was the true mother of the living child. His wisdom became legendary.In Jeremiah 30 we undoubtedly have a prophecy of the unprecedented horrendous time that was to come upon Israel soon - called "the day of Jacob's trouble". This term is an obvious allusion to Genesis 32. This is the time called, in Daniel 12, "a time of trouble such as never was". And Matthew 24 refers to it as "the time of great tribulation". The Jewish People call a time such as this 'The Dire Straits". It will be when the Russian confederacy under Gogue seeks the total destruction of Israel. However, they will be delivered . Read aloud and reflect on verses 8-11. The end result will be blessing in Messiah's Kingdom, verses 18-22. This time will be after the Almighty's wrath has been poured on the persecutors of His people.Mark 4 commences with the most fundamental of all parables - the Sower. We have seen, that it could be called the parable of the Soils. For God's Word tests the calibre of the soil. What type of soil will our Heavenly Father find us to be? Pray God that we may be found to be good soil! Then follows an explanation of why our Lord uses the parabolic method. It was to reveal truths to the responsive and conceal them from the reprobates (Psalm 78 and Isaiah 6). Next follows the parable of the Lampstand, its only purpose, like that of disciples, is to give light, ie testimony. The progress of the Gospel is like seed multiplying. In the parable of the Mustard Seed we learn that small beginnings can have powerful ends. Jesus calms the storm on the sea of Tiberius showing him to be the Son of God - read Psalm 104 verses 23-32. Pause and ponder the power of the message.

Today, we step into the center of God's prophetic stage: Israel. If you want to know where we are on God's timeline—look at Jerusalem. Look at the headlines. Look at the land God promised. Israel isn't a side note. She's the second hand on the prophetic clock.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves.” — Zechariah 12:3 (ESV)God is not done with Israel. Despite centuries of persecution, exile, and war—Israel remains, because God keeps His promises.Zechariah prophesied a time when Jerusalem would be a burdensome stone to the nations—a flashpoint of global tension. That day is now. You can hardly go a week without hearing Jerusalem's name on the news. Why? Because the spiritual battle over that land is intensifying.The Church doesn't replace Israel. The Church is grafted in—a wild olive branch added to a covenant already established. That covenant with Abraham? Still valid. Still active. Still central to what God is doing today.Prophecy revolves around Israel. Jesus will return to Jerusalem. The final battle will rage around Zion. The restoration of Israel is not just historical—it's prophetic.If you remove Israel from end-times teaching, you unravel the thread of God's redemptive timeline.So don't be surprised when the world turns against Israel. Don't be swayed by rising antisemitism. Stand with what God stands for. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem—not just politically, but spiritually.Question of the Day:How does your view of Israel reflect or resist God's covenantal promises?Mini Call to Action:Today, pray Psalm 122:6 aloud: “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! May they be secure who love you!” Then write down one reason Israel still matters to your faith today.Let's Pray:God, thank You for Your covenant with Israel. Give me understanding and reverence for Your promises. Keep me aligned with Your Word—not worldly opinion. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!Prophecy has a zip code. It's Jerusalem. Keep your eyes there—and your heart in tune with God's eternal plan.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

You may not always feel like praising, especially in a battle. But that's when praise is most powerful. Worship isn't a soft response—it's a spiritual strike. When you lift your hands, the enemy loses his grip. When you raise your voice, chains start falling. Worship is how warriors breathe in the fire.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men... who had come against Judah, so that they were routed.” — 2 Chronicles 20:22 (ESV)Judah didn't win that battle with swords. They didn't fight it with strategy. They sent out worshippers—and God ambushed the enemy.Let that settle in.Sometimes God doesn't call you to fight harder—He calls you to sing louder.Worship shifts the atmosphere. It realigns your spirit. It reminds your soul who your King is—and who the enemy isn't. Worship tells hell, “I may be in a storm, but I'm not shaken. My God is still worthy.”You may think you need a breakthrough before you can praise. But it's often your praise that creates the breakthrough.When Paul and Silas were in prison, they didn't wait for the doors to open. They worshiped in chains—and the chains broke.Don't underestimate the power of your song. Even if it's off-key. Even if it's tear-soaked. Even if it's whispered through fear. Heaven hears it. Hell fears it.Worship reminds you that the battle belongs to the Lord—and He's never lost one yet.Question of the Day:When was the last time you worshiped in the middle of a fight—not just after the victory?Mini Call to Action:Put on a worship song today—not for background noise, but as your battle cry. Sing it. Mean it. Let it rise louder than the storm.Let's Pray:God, teach me to worship even when it's hard. Let praise rise in my heart before the victory is visible. I trust that You fight for me, and I'll meet You on the battlefield—singing. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!Don't wait to feel strong. Worship now.

You've probably heard it before—“Speak life.” But what if I told you that declaring God's Word is more than encouragement? It's warfare. When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, He didn't argue, debate, or emotionally react. He quoted Scripture—and the devil left. That's not just inspiration; that's a strategy.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.” — Proverbs 18:21 (ESV)You've been given a sword. Not a silent one. Not a decorative one. A weapon forged in heaven, sharp enough to split lies from truth—and you use it with your mouth.When the enemy attacks your identity, you don't just think your way out—you speak your way through. You declare:“I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”“No weapon formed against me shall prosper.”“He who began a good work in me will bring it to completion.”You're not trying to convince God. You're reminding the enemy—and yourself—what God has already said.Why is this so powerful?Because spoken words carry spiritual weight. God created the universe by speaking. Jesus cast out demons with His voice. And you, filled with His Spirit, carry the same authority to declare truth into dark places.Don't just read your Bible—release it. Speak it over your mind, your family, your future. Don't wait for Sunday. Don't wait for feelings. Speak when you're tired. Speak when you're scared. Speak until your spirit stirs and your soul remembers who's in charge.You don't need perfect words. You need God's words.Question of the Day:What verse will you start declaring over your current battle—and how often will you speak it?Mini Call to Action:Choose one Scripture today and speak it out loud three times—morning, midday, and night. Make it your weapon, not just your reading.Let's Pray:God, Your Word is life. It's fire. It's a sword. Teach me to use it—not just read it. Help me declare truth with boldness and fight lies with Scripture. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!A whisper of God's Word in your mouth can shatter the enemy's roar. Speak up.

Convictions surrounding this series on prayer: We want to be a praying church. Not a church that merely prays. We want prayer to permeate everything we do, not simply have a prayer ministry. There's a direct connection between the church's prayer life and your prayer life.    I. His Sovereignty II. My Submission III. Our Sanctification   Prayer Challenge: Become part of His Kingdom - Salvation & Repentance Seek His Kingdom instead of yours. Pray for His Kingdom to come through you.

Today's promise: Psalm 34:7 Few people have ever seen an angel. Even in the Bible, there are only a few instances of an Angel manifesting itself. However, God promises that these unseen guardians surround you with supernatural protection. When you know God's angels are surrounding and protecting you, you never have to fear. There are more with you than against you. Pray God opens your eyes to the spiritual battle around you.

There is one thing in our lives that holds great power that can be easily used for both great good and great evil. I have seen it bring people together and tear others apart. I have used it for both wonderful and terrible purposes. It is something none of us can escape. I'm talking about the power of the tongue. Words can harm, but words can also heal. The tongue has great power, and under the control of the Holy Spirit, this power can change lives in the best way, all for the glory of God. Do you struggle with using your words to heal?
