A Prayer for Peace when Christmas is Hard by Brooke McGlothlin What does it mean to be a peacemaker during the Christmas season? In today's episode by Brooke McGlothlin, we are reminded that peace often begins with us. Even when reconciliation feels unlikely, we are called to plant seeds—small acts of kindness, openness, and forgiveness—believing that God will tend and grow what we faithfully sow. Reference: James 3:18 Prayer: Father, give us 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 righteous. In Jesus' name, Amen.

A Prayer to Look Upon the Light by Stacey Thacker The book of Job--an unexpected corner of Scripture for the Christmas season. In today's episode, we focus on a reminder spoken to Job by Elihu, who points out that God is both rescuer and redeemer, using suffering not as punishment but as refinement. Elihu lifts Job’s gaze upward, encouraging him to look at the light of God rather than the weight of his circumstances.And for us today, every question whispered in the dark finds its answer in Jesus, the Light of the World. When we fix our eyes on Him, everything changes. Reference: Job 33:28 Prayer: Father, sometimes we can best see the light in the shadowed times of darkness. Remind me during this season of light to be a testimony to others who are struggling. May I be a good friend who encourages the downtrodden to look up. And if that person is me, continue to remind me each morning where the light comes from. In Jesus' name, amen.

A Prayer to Experience the Story of Light God often meets us with personal, unexpected reminders of His presence.Today's episode by Stacey Thacker invites listeners to consider how God uses both our brokenness and our offerings to illuminate His presence in our lives. Reference: Exodus 13:21 Prayer: Father, you always go before me, and I'm grateful for the intentional way you lead me, especially when I feel alone. I realize that the path might not be the easy way, but your abiding presence will always be with me. In Jesus' name, amen.

Reference: Matthew 5:14-16 Prayer: Heavenly Father, show me how to let the light of Jesus shine through me and my children to bless those around us each day.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Steve Winton from Lakeland, FL. Your commitment through Project23 helps deliver God's Word daily with clarity and conviction. This one's for you. Our text today is Judges 15:3-5 "And Samson said to them, 'This time I shall be innocent in regard to the Philistines, when I do them harm.' So Samson went and caught 300 foxes and took torches. And he turned them tail to tail and put a torch between each pair of tails. And when he had set fire to the torches, he let the foxes go into the standing grain of the Philistines and set fire to the stacked grain and the standing grain, as well as the olive orchards." — Judges 15:3-5 Samson is furious. His wife's father gave her away to another man, and now humiliation burns inside him. So he cooks up a plan—literally. He ties torches between the tails of 300 foxes and lets them loose in Philistine fields, torching grain and olive orchards. For Samson, it felt like justice. For the Philistines, it was destruction. And shortly, the retaliation would escalate. That's the way revenge works—it feels satisfying for a moment, but it never ends there. It multiplies the misery. Revenge never heals your hurt; it multiplies it. When you've been betrayed or wronged, the urge to "get even" screams loud. We daydream about comebacks, plots, or even just the perfect cutting words. And for a moment, it feels powerful. But it never brings peace—it only fans the flames of bitterness. Samson's fire scorched the Philistines, but it also scorched his future. His revenge didn't settle the score; it made the fight bigger. God calls us to a better way. Romans 12:19 says, "Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.'" God can handle justice better than you ever could. Revenge chains you to anger; forgiveness frees you to live. ASK THIS: Where are you tempted to "get even" right now? How have you seen revenge backfire in your life before? Why is it so hard to trust God with justice? What might forgiveness free you from today? DO THIS: Write down the name of the person you want revenge on. Pray: "God, vengeance belongs to You. I give this into Your hands." PRAY THIS: Lord, You see the hurt in my heart. I want revenge, but I choose to release it to You. Free me from bitterness, and help me trust You with justice. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Battle Belongs."

A Prayer to Let Jesus Lead by Katie J. TrentWhat is the significance of the Christmas star? In today's episode, we learn how the star points us to the greater truth of Jesus’ guidance in our lives. Just as the star led the Magi on their long journey to find the newborn Messiah, Jesus promises to lead and direct us as we trust Him.We reflect on how stars fill our homes and holiday traditions—tree toppers, decorations, and even cookie cutters—reminding us of the light that guided wise men to Jesus. Yet Scripture tells us something even more astounding: God not only created the stars but counts and names them (Psalm 147). If He knows every star, how much more does He care about us? Reference: Matthew 2:9-10 Prayer: Jesus, we choose to trust in You and ask You to lead and guide us all the days of our lives, just like You led the magi. Help us not to lean on our own understanding, but to seek Your will and Your wisdom in all we do. And let us become an example for our children so that they will allow You to lead them all the days of their lives as well. Amen.

A Prayer for Gratitude That Comes from Within by Amanda Luedeke Happy Thanksgiving! In today's episode by Amanda Luedeke, we explore a deeper, richer understanding of gratitude—one that goes beyond simply listing what we’re thankful for. While naming our blessings is meaningful, Scripture invites us to view gratitude not just as a response to good things, but as a way of living, even in the midst of trials, stress, or chaos.Thankfulness is not something that merely happens to us when life is going well. Instead, it’s a posture we choose, a spiritual discipline that shapes our hearts, forms our children, and aligns our lives with God’s will. Reference: 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 Prayer: God, in the midst of all that is around me, I pause to turn my attention to You. I know that none of the things in my life need to change for me to experience lightness and joy and thanksgiving right now. Your presence changes all of it. You allow my chaotic reality to become a quiet refuge. Open my heart and eyes to the gifts right in front of me. Amen.

A Prayer to Remember to Give Thanks There is a powerful connection between gratitude and peace.In today's episode by Tara L. Cole, she reminds us that when anxiety rises, scripture invites us to turn our attention to God through prayer with thanksgiving. Gratitude shifts our focus from ourselves to the One who is truly in control, reminding us of His past faithfulness and giving us hope for what’s ahead. Reference: Philippians 4:6-7 Prayer: Father, please calm our children's anxious hearts and help them to see the blessings you've given them and thank you for them. In Jesus name, amen.

A Prayer to Be Satisfied in the Small Things God often works through the small, simple, and unexpected—especially during seasons where our expectations run high, like Thanksgiving. In today's episode by Amanda Luedeke, we’re reminded that even the most modest acts of obedience can open the door to God’s miraculous provision.We contrast the idealized “perfect Thanksgiving” many of us imagine with the imperfect but beautiful memories that truly stay with us. Instead of striving for flawless moments, we’re invited to loosen our grip, adjust our expectations, and make room for God to meet us in the seemingly insignificant. Reference: 1 Kings 17:12–16 Prayer: My Jesus, You came to this world—quietly, meekly, yet beautifully—and You changed everything. I thank You and praise You for showing us that power isn’t found only in what is big and flashy. Help me to cling to this! Help me to focus on the importance of making space for that which is simple and seemingly insignificant. Guide me away from putting all my attention on the big efforts that impress and replace that desire with an ability to see Your work in the small things.

A Prayer When God Seems Distant What does it means to welcome God—even when life feels heavy, uncertain, or painfully silent? In today's episode by Amanda Luedeke, we explore how seasons of waiting can test our faith, strain our gratitude, and leave us wrestling with God’s seeming silence.The conversation invites us to consider how we respond when God doesn’t move the way we hoped. Instead of withdrawing or pretending everything is fine, we discover the gift of honest faith: bringing our doubts, frustrations, and disappointments before Him and practicing gratitude as an act of trust. Reference: Psalm 37:7 Prayer: Lord, here is my open invitation. Take it and keep it and know that You’re always welcome in my heart and life. I welcome You even when it’s hard for me to hear You. Even when I’m frustrated by what’s around me. Even when things don’t go the way I’d like. Show me the ways that I tend to rescind my initiation to You. Work on my heart, O God, so that I trust and follow you even when I don’t understand. Even when I’m waiting for You to move.

A Prayer to Rest in God's Promises Join this conversation with Nicolet Bell & Erin Warren as they talk about the character of God, and what it means to cultivate genuine, enduring faith. This month, we’re focusing on Everyday Prayers for Faith, written by Erin, and today’s conversation centers on God’s promises, His unchanging faithfulness, and how understanding His character strengthens our faith—especially in seasons of suffering, disappointment, or uncertainty. Erin shares how biblical faithfulness is tied directly to God’s promises. We can only recognize God’s faithfulness when we truly know what He has promised—rather than assuming promises He never made. Misunderstanding God’s promises often leads to confusion or disappointment, especially during painful seasons like infertility, illness, or unmet expectations. Reference: 2 Corinthians 1:20 Prayer: Father, we are so grateful for your promises. We are thankful that every single one of them found its "yes and amen" in Christ. You did this to show that you are who you say you are. You sent your son into our world to show us yourself. So we cling to your promises. Build faith in us so that we can model that to our children. May they see that we genuinely love you and that while we are not perfect, we are trying. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

A Prayer to Break Up with Mom Worry by Julie Gillies Let's talk about a struggle moms know all too well: worry. In today’s episode by Julie Gillies, we look to Matthew 6:34 as our anchor and explore the truth that we don’t have to carry the weight of tomorrow—or the burdens surrounding our children—alone. This episode will guide you toward breaking the toxic cycle of “mom worry” by learning two essential practices: prayer and trust. By bringing every fear, scenario, and burden to the Lord, and choosing to trust His faithfulness, we discover the peace that worry has robbed. Together, we’re invited to place our confidence in a God who hears, who helps, and who holds our children in His hands. Reference: Matthew 6:34 Prayer: Lord, I confess all the times I have worried about my children instead of praying and trusting You, and oh Lord, it has cost me peace. When worries over my children bombard my mind and heart, please give me the grace to turn every concern, every worst-case scenario, and every dread into a prayer of trust and relinquishment. Help me to give every single apprehension fully to You. And Lord, help me to trust You completely with my children’s very lives. As I care for them, may faith arise in my heart as I read Your Word. May I choose not to worry but instead trust You fully. God, You are faithful. You are utterly trustworthy. I choose to believe that You are with me and You are with my children. Thank you Lord for guarding them and guiding them. Thank you Lord that I don’t have to entertain worry because You are always with my children. In Jesus’s name, Amen.

A Prayer to Know God is Faithful to Forgive Let us not forget the comforting and steady truth that God is faithful to forgive. In today’s episode by Erin H. Warren, we are reminded that we can cling to God’s promise that He not only forgives but purifies us from all unrighteousness.Through confession, we can find freedom and restored fellowship with God. Forgiveness leads to joy, light, and renewed intimacy with the Father. Reference: 1 John 1: 9-10 Prayer: Lord, we confess before you that we have missed the mark. Please forgive us. help us to walk in your light teach us and guide us as we do let your steadfast love surround us as we continue to trust you lord we shout for joy in your forgiveness and thank you that we can experience fellowship with you it's in your name I pray amen LINKS: How to Pray God's Word For Your Children Guide Connect with Erin Warren Get today's devotion and prayer in written form to keep for future use!

A Prayer for Our Children to be Bold by April Graney How can we encourage our kids to stand boldly against the culture of today? In today's episode by April Graney, we look at the remarkable story of King Josiah, who became king at just eight years old and yet “did what was right in the Lord’s sight.” His wholehearted devotion to God, despite his evil family lineage, raises powerful questions about influence, courage, and the seeds of faith planted in childhood. Reference: 2 Kings 22: 1-2 Prayer: Heavenly Father, give my children the courage to follow you with all of their heart, soul, mind and strength. Help them to rise up and boldly take a stand against evil in their midst while pointing the others to your unfailing love. In Jesus’ name, amen.

A Prayer to Get Started In today’s episode with Nicolet Bell, we explore how praying for our children can sometimes feel like tackling that overstuffed closet under the stairs—full of good intentions but easily abandoned when overwhelm sets in. Just like cleaning out a messy closet, the most important thing in our prayer lives is that we begin. God meets us in the small starts, the imperfections, and the honest moments. Reference: Psalm 105:4 Prayer: Father, help me to look to you and to seek you always. I ask for you to guard me from being intimidated or overwhelmed and help me to just get started. I desire to make praying for my children a priority in my life, and I need your help in making that happen.

A Prayer to Believe that Prayer Changes Everything Let's look at Philippians 4:6–7—not just as a list of instructions, but as a promise.God’s Word doesn’t simply tell us what to do about anxiety; it assures us that when we bring our worries and thanksgivings to Him in prayer, His peace—beyond human understanding—will guard our hearts and minds in Christ.Nicolet Bell reminds us that Jesus promised peace, and Paul shows us how to experience it. Reference: Philippians 4:6-7 Prayer: Father, I thank you that you hear us when we pray. I thank you for Jesus’ example of bringing specific, intentional requests for those we love to you. Let my prayers strengthen me and give me your peace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Do your days ever feel like they’re blending together? In our daily prayer and devotional, we reflect on how we wake up, work, eat, repeat — the rhythm of routine can make life feel stagnant and dull. But while monotony can be wearying, it can also be sacred. In this thoughtful reflection, Sophia Bricker reminds us that even when life feels repetitive, God is still at work in the ordinary. Every moment we live — whether exciting or mundane — holds eternal value. Scripture calls us to “redeem the time” (Ephesians 5:16), to make the most of every opportunity because every second is a gift entrusted to us by God. The quiet consistency of our days is not meaningless; it’s often the very place where faithfulness is formed. When prayer feels routine or work feels endless, we can still glorify God through gratitude, diligence, and love for others. Just as the servants in Jesus’ parable of the talents were commended for wisely using what their Master entrusted to them, we too are called to steward our time well — not by seeking constant novelty, but by walking wisely, with hearts attuned to eternity. Each sunrise brings new mercy. Each task, conversation, and breath is another chance to honor the Lord. Even when every day feels the same, God is making all things new — and He invites us to join Him in that renewal. Today's Bible Reading:“Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.” – Ephesians 5:15–16, NIV

A Prayer to Take Off the Costume by Nicolet Bell In this episode by Nicolet Bell reflects on the truth that nothing is hidden from God. Just as children wear costumes to pretend to be someone else, we often try to cover up parts of ourselves—our sin, our shame, or our struggles. Yet God sees everything, and still, He loves us completely. This truth brings both conviction and comfort: conviction to confess and turn toward Him, and comfort that we are fully known and still fully loved Reference: Hebrews 4:13 Prayer: Father, remind me that I don’t have to cover up or put on a costume to come into your presence. I thank you that you see everything, nothing is hidden from you and you love me anyway. Help me to lead my children with honesty, inviting a culture of openness into our home, even when it is a challenge. Allow my children to know the depths of your love - that you see all and you love all. In Jesus’ name, amen.

A Prayer to Practice by Nicolet Bell Just like physical training strengthens our bodies, spiritual training strengthens our hearts and faith. The habits we repeat daily become second nature, shaping our reactions and responses when pressure comes.In today's episode by Nicolet Bell, she encourages us to consistently practice prayer, gratitude, worship, and scripture reading. When we implement habits, they become our spiritual reflexes—helping us stand firm and respond with faith in life’s big moments. God uses the quiet, unremarkable moments of obedience to prepare us for greater challenges and opportunities ahead. Reference: 1 Timothy 4:8 Prayer: Father, help us to not be afraid to put in the practice of spiritual discipline. We know that the quiet, ordinary moments are preparing us for the big moments and the challenges we will face. Show us when and where we need to put the reps in, knowing that we don’t work to earn our salvation but we do work out our salvation, each day drawing closer to you. In Jesus name, amen.

A Prayer for God to Continue the Good Word He Has Started by: Gina Smith Parenting doesn’t end when our kids become adults—it simply changes form. In this episode from Gina Smith, we reflect on the truth of Philippians 1:6 and the lifelong process of trusting God to continue His good work in our children. From the early days of learning that every child is uniquely created, to the complex seasons of parenting adult children, this devotion reminds us that God is the one shaping their hearts and guiding their growth. Reference: Philippians 1:6 Prayer: Father, thank you for the promise that you will complete the good work that you have begun in my children, in me, and in our family. Help me to rely on you as you grow my children into their new roles as adults and help me to not have expectations or make everything about me. Help me to be able to patiently step back and allow them to learn and grow as adults and help me to continue to grow and learn in my new role as mom of adult children. I want it all about you and your work in their lives, and not about me and what I hope our relationship might look like.

A Prayer for God to Keep You The short letter of Jude—only one page in most Bibles—packs profound truth for believers. Today's episode by Brooke McGlothlin dives into the first few verses in Jude and she remind us that those who belong to God are called, beloved, and kept. The word “kept,” or “preserved” in the King James Version, speaks of God’s continual care and protection over His people.To “preserve” means to safeguard, protect, or maintain. Unlike our own imperfect efforts to keep things in order, God never fails to keep what belongs to Him. Reference: Matthew 6:34 Prayer: Father, thank you for keeping me and thank you for keeping my children. Left to myself I know I would never, left to myself I know I would never be able to stay. There's too much sin still in my heart and it's prone to wonder from you. The knowledge that you will preserve me, that you will guard me and keep me from stumbling, brings me so much peace.

A Prayer for When You Feel Like Your Prayers Aren't Being Answered Have you ever prayed for something and felt like God wasn't answering? Today's episode by Nicolet Bell takes us through the words of Psalm 34. We are reminded that God always hears our prayers—though not always in the way we expect. True prayer draws us closer to the heart of God, shifting our focus from seeking the gift to desiring the Giver. Reference: Psalm 34:4 Prayer: Father, help me to believe that you hear and respond to my prayers. Help me to trust in your character even when life doesn’t go the way I want or expect. I release my expectations to you and trust you with the outcome of my requests. Strengthen my faith by the power of your Spirit. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

A Prayer to Not Hit the Panic Button What does it really mean to bring everything—big or small—to God in prayer? In today's episode by Nicolet Bell we look at Philippians 4:6 and we are reminded that Paul, who had every reason to be anxious, encourages us to pray in every situation with thanksgiving. Prayer is not our last resort—it’s our first and best response. As John Wesley once wrote, “Prayer is our grand means of drawing nearer to God.” Reference: Philippians 4:6 Prayer: Father, help me to seek you in prayer daily as my first and best response. Please help me not to hit the panic button until I speak to you. I trust that you will meet me when I come to you in prayer, helping me release my anxieties and exchanging them for thankfulness. Show me how to make praying for my family a priority. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

A Prayer for Living a Righteous Life What does it really mean to “live to righteousness.” At first glance, living for what is right can seem restrictive or dull — especially in a world that values self-gratification and personal freedom. Today's episode by Christie Thomas reminds us that living for Jesus isn’t a burden; it’s freedom. Living for Jesus brings freedom from regret, freedom to choose wisely, and freedom to walk in peace and purpose.

A Prayer to Finish In a culture that often prizes speed and instant results, what if we chose to slow down, stay focused, and trust God to bring His work in us to completion. In today's prayer by Nicolet Bell,we look at the story of Solomon completing the temple — a dream that began in the heart of his father, King David. Though David longed to build a dwelling place for God, the Lord chose Solomon to carry out the task. Instead of being resentful, David prepared his son for success by gathering materials, providing detailed plans, and encouraging him to serve God with an undivided heart. Reference: 1 Kings 6:14 Prayer: Father, I thank you for the example of Solomon to show us what hard work and perseverance looks like. His commitment to begin and finish a task, his assignment from you is an incredible witness to us. Help us to stay focused on the tasks you have given us. Guard us from distractions and sluggishness. I am confident that you who began a good work in me will carry it out to completion.

A Prayer for Growth to be a Good Friend In today's episode, Monica Swanson shares practical wisdom for parents on how to harness the power of good influences to help children grow in character and faith. From the friends they spend time with to the media they consume, every influence matters. While we can’t control every outside factor, we can teach and model what it looks like to choose wisely and prayerfully. Reference: Proverbs 13:20 Prayer: Heavenly Father, I pray that you would bring good and godly friends and influences into my child's life and protect him or her from ungodly influences. In 1 Corinthians 1533, we are reminded the bad company corrupts good character. From friendships to choices about entertainment, music, internet, and social media, I pray that my child would be attracted to good, wholesome, and helpful influences. Finally, I pray that my child would grow to be a good friend and godly influence in others' lives. Let him or her shine your light in such a way that others may see his or her good deeds and glorify their Father in heaven. That's from Matthew 5:16. In Jesus' name, amen.

A Prayer to Be Weak May we be moms who see weakness not as failure, but as an opportunity for God’s power to shine through. In today's episode, Brooke McGlothlin helps us see that we all have moments when we feel like we’re not enough — when the chaos, exhaustion, or guilt of motherhood makes us want to quit trying. But instead of glorifying our weaknesses and letting them drain our hope, we can use them to glorify God. Reference: 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 Prayer: Father, I confess to you that I feel so weak. I constantly wonder If the things that I do wrong on the daily with my children are going to cause them problems in the future But today I pray that you would help me to take heart Hold on But today I pray that you would help me to do something different Help me father to boast in my weaknesses and then be truly strong. May your strength Hold on. May the power of Christ rest upon me and for the sake of Christ help me to be content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities for when I am weak then I am strong.

A Prayer to Learn to Love Yourself We all have moments when we struggle to see ourselves the way God sees us. Whether it’s our physical appearance, our talents, or our personality, it’s easy to let insecurity, comparison, or shame distort our reflection. But Scripture tells us something far greater: we are made fearfully and wonderfully made and intentionally crafted for good works.Today's episode by Rachael Adams is a reminder that when we accept who He made us to be, we can better love others as He commands. Reference: Ephesians 2:10 Prayer: Father, thank you for creating me in your image. Remind me of my inherent worth and significance in you. Help me to focus on my God -given identity traits and learn to appreciate who you've uniquely made me. May I see others as people also carefully crafted by you. Forgive me for finding fault with the work of your hands. In your name, Amen.

A Prayer to Release Competitiveness Those who lift themselves up will be brought low, and those who humble themselves will be lifted up.In today's episode, @@nicolet_bell reminds us that we live in an ultra-competitive world where winning, achieving, and being seen as “the best” often take priority. But God invites us to live differently — to put others before ourselves and to let our humility point people toward Him. Reference: Luke 14: 7-11 Prayer: Lord, forgive me for allowing my pride and competitive nature to affect the way I treat other people. Enable me to lift them up, to help them recognize their worth. Replace my pride and selfishness with Your heart for others. Don’t let me look down on anyone. Help me to model this for my children and encourage them to respond in the same way. In Your name, amen.

A Prayer for When Your Strength Runs Out Through exhaustion and feelings of failure, we can learn that peace doesn’t come from personal control or independence, but from resting in the power and grace of God.Today's episode by Brooke McGlothlin shares a powerful reflection on God’s strength and peace—illustrated by the vast, mighty ocean. Reference: Psalm 29:11 Prayer: Father, if I rely on my own strength, it will eventually fail. If I try to find my peace outside of you, I will eventually run out. Today and every day help me remember that my strength is in my relationship with you. You are my true source. In Jesus' name, amen.

A Prayer to Extend Kindness Have you ever thought of the difference between being nice and living out true kindness rooted in Christ. Niceness leaves a good impression, but kindness leaves a lasting impact.In today's episode with Doris Swift, we are reminded that while our prayers may be imperfect, God uses them to shape us first and to display His mercy and kindness through us. Reference: Ephesians 2:7 Prayer: Father, thank you for your loving kindness toward us.

A Prayer to Be a Godly Empty Nest Mom Parenthood often brings with it fears—fear of repeating unhealthy family patterns, fear of failure, and fear of wounding the ones we love most. But Scripture reminds us that we are not defined by our past or bound by old habits.In today's prayer, Gina Smith reminds us that through seasons of raising young children and then learning how to love and support adult children, the temptation to fall back into fear and old ways remains. Yet God’s Word offers freedom: we are new creations in Christ. His Spirit empowers us to parent, love, and live in a way that glorifies Him, no matter what stage of life we are in. Reference: 2 Corinthians 5:17 Prayer: Father, help me to live by the Spirit and to focus on the fact that I am a new creation and I don’t need to fear repeating patterns that are in my family. As I walk in this reality, please give me the opportunity to show my children what it means to be a new creation and be an example of what it means to live for you and be controlled by your Spirit. I want to leave the past behind and not be defined by what has happened to me or what I may have done. Please renew my mind, conform me into your image, and cause this transformation to be lived out in all that I do. My hope is in you alone.

A Prayer to Say Yes to Jesus' Invitation Jesus reminds us that apart from Him, we can do nothing.

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.

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.

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.

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.
