Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him. This is how you are to pray: ‘Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name…” Matthew 6:7–9Many pagans of Jesus' time believed they could manipulate divine action by sheer persistence, lengthy incantations, or empty repetition. Jesus contrasts this with true prayer, which is about trust in the Father's providence, not coercion. Christian prayer is not about forcing God's hand but about uniting our hearts to His will.Saint Thomas Aquinas offers profound insight into the Lord's Prayer: “Since prayer is the expression of our desires before God, we should only ask for what we ought to desire. The Lord's Prayer not only contains everything we should desire, but it presents them in the proper order—thus shaping not only our petitions but also our hearts” (Summa Theologiae, II-II, 83.9).According to Saint Thomas, prayer begins with truth entering the mind. Before we can choose and desire what is good, we must first recognize what is truly good in the eyes of God. For that reason, the first three petitions of the Lord's Prayer focus on God's glory—the highest good—rather than our needs:“Hallowed be Thy name” expresses the desire that God's holiness be recognized, honored, and made known both within us and through our witness in the world.“Thy Kingdom come” is a plea for God's reign to be established in our hearts and ultimately in the fulfillment of His Kingdom at the end of time.“Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven” is a petition that our wills be conformed only to God's divine will, seeking to obey Him as the saints and angels do in Heaven.Once truth enters the mind, the will must choose it by grace. At first, we often pray these petitions out of duty, but as grace strengthens the will, we begin to love them. From there, the will's repeated choice to say “Yes” to God's truth allows our desires to be reordered, forming habits—virtues—within us. After seeking God's glory first, we turn to our own needs, acknowledging our total dependence on Him in the light of Eternal Wisdom:“Give us this day our daily bread” expresses our desire for material sustenance and spiritual nourishment through the Eucharist. As our hearts are transformed, we come to hunger not only for earthly provision but for the Bread of Life, Christ Himself.“Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us” is a plea for God's mercy, teaching us that we must extend forgiveness to everyone if we hope to receive it. Over time, grace enables us to desire mercy more than vengeance, forming our hearts in charity.“Lead us not into temptation” asks for God's help in avoiding situations that might lead us to sin. The more we grow in grace, the more we come to despise sin rather than desire it.“Deliver us from evil” is the final and most complete petition—a plea for liberation from ALL evil: sin, satan, and all that separates us from God. Here, desire reaches its highest purification in which the soul longs for final union with God, free from all evil, and attains it through purified desire.Reflect today on this perfect prayer. Meditate on each petition, allowing each word to shape your mind, will, and desire. Pray it slowly and attentively, letting grace enlighten your mind, strengthen your will, and transform your affections. If you pray these words without fully feeling them at first, persevere and allow grace to work within you, leading you to the point that you truly love what you pray so that you desire rightly, trust fully, and love completely.Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Pastor Clay's Summer of Prayer message, “Holy is Your Name,” invites us to learn how to pray and encounter God personally. He emphasizes that prayer is a conversation with our Father, made possible by Jesus restoring intimacy with God. The teaching explores the radical meaning of “Our Father,” the access it gives us, and how God's holiness shapes our prayers and perspective. It encourages believers to connect with God daily, moving beyond ritual or church culture, and to step into encounters and visitations with expectation, boldness, and faith.

Have you ever prayed a prayer so raw, so ugly, so honest that you almost felt guilty afterward? I have. There was a season of my life when everything felt like it was falling apart. I was in pain, afraid, disappointed, and deeply confused about why God would allow certain things to happen. In one of my lowest moments, I found myself crying in a parking lot, asking God how He could possibly use any of it for good... In this episode, I share one of my most personal stories ever: what happened when I brought my anger and confusion honestly before God, and how He met me in a way I never expected... -- NEW Everyday Miracle compilation book on Amazon: https://a.co/d/45cgbP8 Everyday Miracle compilation book on Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/everyday-miracles-julie-hedenborg/1146173449?ean=9798881501808 Subscribe to Julie's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@everydaymiraclespodcast1395 Website for Everyday Miracles (APPLY!): http://everydaymiraclespodcast.com/ To follow Everyday Miracles Podcast on itunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/everyday-miracles-podcast/id1447430033

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260617dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion The LORD said to Moses, “Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: ‘Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.'” Leviticus 19:1-2 Be Holy Have you ever achieved perfection? Making the perfect sales pitch. Baking the perfect pie. Earning the perfect grade. When you reach that goal, you get excited. You rejoice. You let others know that perfection has been achieved. But how long did it take you to achieve that perfection? How many mistakes did you make on the way? The Lord tells his people to be holy. In other words, be perfect. But he doesn’t say work your way to perfection. He says you are to be holy, right now, at this very moment, and then to keep being holy. Of course, you aren’t perfect. You make mistakes. You do things that are wrong. And as soon as you make one mistake or sin even in the most insignificant way, you are no longer perfect. You are unable to be holy even though God demands that you be holy. So, the Lord sent Jesus. Jesus was holy. He didn’t make any mistakes. He never sinned. He never did anything contrary to what God commands. Jesus lived a perfect life in his thoughts, his words, and in everything he did. Now Jesus gives that perfection to you. Even though you are not holy, Jesus makes you holy by giving you his perfect obedience to God’s laws and washing away your sins with his innocent blood. Through Jesus, you are able to be what you cannot achieve on your own. You are holy. Prayer: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I confess that by nature I am not holy as you desire. Cleanse me of my sins with the blood of Jesus. Lead me to always thank and praise you for the holiness that you have given me through Jesus. Keep me faithful to him. Amen.

Most Christians think of inheritance in terms of money, land, or possessions. But what if one of the greatest inheritances God has given you is the place where you live? Your neighborhood, your city, your state, and even your nation are not accidents—they're part of the stewardship God has entrusted to you. In this first episode of our four-part America series, we explore the biblical call to seek the welfare of your place and why faithful Christian families have a responsibility to build, bless, and cultivate the communities around them. If you've ever wondered what it looks like to love your country without idolizing it, this conversation is for you.

Lead Pastor Will Ford teaches that the Lord's Prayer is not merely a prayer to recite but a framework that reveals how believers encounter God as both Father and King. Focusing on “Hallowed Be Your Name,” he shows that prayer begins with honoring God's holiness, carrying His name faithfully, and aligning with His kingdom purposes rather than our own. Through biblical and historical context, Pastor Will challenges believers to embrace their identity as sons and daughters, partner with God through prayer, and become living answers to the prayer, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done.”

In this compelling message, Pastor Sean Gleason explores what it truly means to pray, drawing from Matthew 6 and the Lord's Prayer. He unpacks how the foundation of a healthy prayer life is not about having the right words, the right volume, or the right spiritual mannerisms, it is about seeing God rightly as a good and holy Father. Pastor Sean challenges believers to stop performing in prayer and to start conversating with their Heavenly Father from a place of authentic relationship. Pastor Sean warns that the orphan spirit is one of the greatest hindrances to prayer, because when you view God as a harsh and distant master rather than a loving Father, you will either disengage from prayer altogether or use it to impress others. He calls the church to receive the spirit of adoption, because it is that spirit that causes you to cry out Abba Father and breaks every wall between you and God. This message challenges believers, and especially men, to step into the place of prayer daily, because a church that does not pray is a dead church and a family that does not pray is a dead family. Prayer is not separate from action, it is the ultimate action that bathes everything else in the power and presence of God. The vision of Mercy Culture is to take people from corporate encounters with God to daily personal encounters with God. At Mercy Culture, one of our unique characteristics is that we are a presence driven church. We are not built around any person or ministry. We are built around the presence of God. Each week, you will hear a teaching from our Lead Pastors, Les and Nikki Cody or another leader in our community. To learn more about Mercy Culture, visit https://mercyculturewaco.com

In this message, we begin our Summer of Prayer series by exploring the opening words of the Lord's Prayer: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.” Pastor Dehavilland teaches why Jesus started prayer with relationship before requests and how understanding God as Father changes the way we approach Him. Many believers know God as Savior but struggle to relate to Him as Father. Through Scripture, this message reveals how prayer flows from sonship, why the enemy attacks our identity, and how an orphan spirit can keep us from experiencing the confidence and intimacy God desires for His children. You'll also gain a biblical picture of what happens when you pray. Your prayers are not lost in the air—they rise before the throne of God, are received in Heaven, and become part of His purposes on the earth. As we examine the holiness of God, we are reminded that prayer is not simply about bringing requests; it is about encountering the One who is unlike any other. Whether you are new to prayer or longing for a deeper relationship with God, this message will encourage you to approach Him with confidence, intimacy, and reverence. Prayer is not about saying the perfect words—it is about knowing your Father, encountering His holiness, and partnering with Heaven. Because when you come to God in prayer, you acknowledge who He is: your Father, who is in Heaven, and whose name is holy.

Kingdom Activation of Remnant Ministry – Foundational Issues Part 1 | KIB 535 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description Are you ready for what God is about to release in the earth? In this powerful episode of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake explore the spiritual preparation necessary for the activation of remnant ministry in the last days. As darkness increases and many believers struggle with discouragement and hopelessness, God is calling His people to deeper faith, greater endurance, and unwavering covenant fidelity. Mary Lou begins by addressing the enemy's strategy to attack God's calling on your life from the very beginning. She shares biblical encouragement for overcoming hopelessness and maintaining confidence in God's promises even during seasons of tribulation. Dr. Lake then dives deep into the biblical meaning of belief, revealing that true faith is far more than a one-time decision. Through an examination of John 3:16, Abraham's journey of faith, and the teachings of the New Testament, he demonstrates that genuine belief produces transformation, endurance, obedience, and spiritual maturity. This episode also examines: The difference between easy-believism and biblical faith Why God is preparing remnant believers for Kingdom assignments The necessity of covenant faithfulness in the last days How Babylonian systems have distorted ministry models The importance of returning to the biblical patterns found in the Book of Acts Why believers must develop spiritual discernment in an age of deception and AI-driven confusion The transition from being servants of God to becoming His trusted friends As God begins activating His remnant, it is crucial that believers build their lives upon biblical foundations rather than worldly systems.

Fr, Ryan Homily on Prayer

What happens to a debt when it's forgiven?In this episode, we explore one of the most overlooked lines in the Lord's Prayer: "Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." Drawing from personal devotion and Paul's teaching on the Body of Christ, we wrestle with a simple but profound truth: debt never simply disappears. Someone always absorbs the cost.But what about the debts that can't be measured in dollars? What happens when someone steals your peace, damages your reputation, weakens trust, or leaves emotional wounds behind? How do those debts get paid?We discuss the connection between forgiveness and body life, why unresolved offenses affect more than just the people involved, the difference between restitution and restoration, and why true discipleship requires us to stop justifying our own failures while magnifying the failures of others.At its core, forgiveness is not simply a matter of obedience. It's a matter of faith. Do we trust that when we release what we're owed, God is able to restore what was lost?This conversation will challenge the way you think about forgiveness, responsibility, community, and the transforming power of grace.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260616dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14 More Than Enough Today’s Bible passage provides the opportunity for you to give thanks for one of God's greatest blessings. He chose you to be saved! He rescued you from the curse of sin and the power of death. Salvation did not come about by your choice; it is completely the result of God's gracious choice. Your salvation is not a matter of chance; it is certain and true. For even before the creation of the world, in love God chose you to be his own. The Holy Spirit used the message of Jesus to turn you from unbelief to faith in Jesus as your Savior. And with that same gospel message, the Holy Spirit still preserves you in faith. Because of Jesus' perfect life and innocent death in your place, you stand before God as one of his holy people and are privileged to be an heir of eternal life. Believe what God has revealed to you in his Word. That’s the only true defense against the assaults to your faith. Keep going back to the Word of God because that’s where you meet Jesus. That’s where God tells you about his plans for you. He shows you his Son, Jesus, and how he saved you from hell. He uplifts you with his certain word that you will share in the glory of heaven—all because of Jesus. Indeed, this is more than enough reason to give thanks to God! Prayer: Dear God, I give you thanks for planning and carrying out my salvation through your Son, Jesus. Thank you for bringing me to faith in Jesus and leading me to trust him as my Savior from sin and death. Encourage me with your sure promise that the glory of heaven awaits me. Amen.

One of the quietest, yet most powerful ways we can shape that understanding is through prayer.Reference: 1 Timothy 2:1-4Prayer: Lord, You see already the world our children will inherit. Yet, teach me to turn to You first, to speak with truth in love, and let my home be a place where praying for our leaders is not just something we say, but something we live. Teach me to hold high the lantern of prayer, that I may pass it on to light the way for others behind me. In Jesus’ precious name, amen.

What if your burnout isn't just a scheduling problem — what if it's an energy problem? In this powerful episode, we explore why emotional healing is the missing piece in most nurse leader recovery plans. Drawing from Scripture, quantum physics, and the bioresonance technology behind WholeBio Insights, Shan reveals how unresolved emotions are stored in the body as disrupted frequencies — and why you can't think your way out of what your nervous system is holding.   Joined by Aligned leadership coach, Kassandra Hamilton, this episode takes you inside a real burnout story and the emotional work that made recovery possible. If you've tried all the strategies and still feel depleted, this episode will help you understand why — and what to do about it.   What You'll Learn in This Episode This episode is for you if you've been asking why rest isn't enough, why strategies aren't sticking, or why you still feel empty even when things look okay on the outside. Here's what we cover:   Why burnout is fundamentally an energy problem — and what the Bible has always said about it The Hebrew meaning of Shalom and why it's actually a description of energetic wholeness What Proverbs 17:22 reveals about the body-emotion-health connection (that science is just now catching up to) How Mark Virkler's "Prayers that Heal the Heart" framework reframes emotional healing as a clinical necessity, not just spiritual work What quantum physics' Observer Effect has to do with your burnout recovery Why emotion is literally "energy in motion" — and what happens when you suppress it How bioresonance technology (WholeBio Insights™) reads the body's frequencies to reveal emotional disruption before symptoms become diagnosable Kassandra Hamilton's honest account of what burnout looked and felt like as a leader — and what it actually took to heal   About Our Guest: Kassandra Hamilton Leadership & Alignment Coach, Best-Selling Author, Facilitator, Bioenergy & Sound Healer, and quality improvement specialist in the healthcare field.

   Key Takeaways "Burnout is not a scheduling problem. It is an energy problem. And you cannot fix an energy problem with a schedule change."   "Management and healing are not the same thing. You can manage your emotions your whole life and still be running on frequencies of unresolved fear and grief that are quietly depleting you."   "The word emotion is energy in motion. When we suppress emotion, we stop that energy in its tracks — and stored emotional energy creates disruption in the body's field."   Scriptures Referenced "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak."  — Isaiah 40:29, NIV "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones."  — Proverbs 17:22, NIV "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he."  — Proverbs 23:7, NKJV "The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life."  — Job 33:4, NIV "We all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory."  — 2 Corinthians 3:18, NIV   Resources & People Mentioned Books & Teachers cwgministries.org Prayers that Heal the Heart by Mark & Patti Virkler — glorywaves.org Charity Virkler Kayembe — quantum physics and Christian spirituality — "Quantum Glory" (framework referenced) — the science of heaven invading earth   Work With Shan: The Wholly Well Intensive To learn more: DM "360" to Shan on Instagram @theshanwright or email: hello@theshanwright.com Connect With Shan Instagram: @theshanwright Website: theshanwright.com Stress Less Community (Storehouse Wellness)    Shalom Shalom,  Xx, Shan  ……CONNECT…… The STAT Protocol: 5 min Emergency Reset Take the Free QUIZ-  Are you in burnout or just stressed??

Motion Church | Victor, Week 4: "I Get To" Closing out the Victor series, this week's message is delivered by Motion Church youth pastor Chris Johnson — "The Bishop" — and he's upfront from the jump: buckle up. "This is one of those sermons we are all gonna walk out here today with some hurt feet, myself included. My toes were stepped on consistently when I was writing this for the past two and a half weeks." After recapping the series — victims ask why, victors ask what; victims claim no control, victors control what they can and trust God with the rest; victims spend their lives surviving, victors invest their lives with purpose — week four lands on the final and perhaps most personal difference of all: language. "Before victim mindset shows up in your actions, it usually shows up in our words." The difference between a victim and a victor often comes down to two small words: have to versus get to. "We hear things like, I have to go to work. I have to go to church. I have to worship. I have to pray. And after a while, we stop sounding grateful and we start sounding burdened." The message draws from two scenes involving Mary and Martha. In Luke 10, Jesus visits their home. Mary sits at his feet. Martha is in the kitchen, distracted and frustrated — "must be nice to just sit at the feet of Jesus." The real diagnosis? "Your problem isn't the work. Your problem is your perspective." Martha and Mary were in the same house, with the same Jesus, at the same moment — but they experienced him completely differently. "Mary saw Jesus as privilege. Martha saw Jesus as an interruption." The warning is sharp: "Some of us have become Martha spiritually. Church became an obligation. Worship became routine. Prayer became duty." And here's what makes that dangerous — "the victim's mindset doesn't always look broken. Sometimes it looks productive." Then fast-forward to John 11, when Lazarus is dead and Martha confronts Jesus: "If you had been here, my brother would not have died." Victims identify with loss and push resurrection into the future — I will be healed one day. My marriage will be fixed one day. But victors understand that God is the God of the now. "Did I not tell you that if you believe you will see the glory of God?" Even in the middle of real grief, the issue isn't the pain — "the issue is what grief convinces us to believe." Victims eventually start identifying with the grave. "Eventually, we start decorating places God is calling us out of. But Jesus never called us to live in graves. He called us out of them." And when Jesus called Lazarus out, he didn't call him "the dead man." He called him by name. "It's not what they call you, but it's how I identify you." A personal story brings it home — Chris shares how his wife Tiffany, walking into a chemotherapy appointment, was smiling despite knowing what lay ahead. A nurse, seeing that smile, asked: "Is that real?" Tiffany's answer? "I can't change anything. But I'm here. I know who I serve." The nurse replied, "I know who you serve." That's what victory looks like. The message closes with a simple shift that changes everything: "No, you don't have to go to church. You get to enter the presence of God. You don't have to worship. You get to lift your voice after everything hell tried to throw at you. You don't have to pray. You get to approach boldly the throne of grace. You don't have to forgive. You get to let go of the things that have been poisoning your spirit." I get to. And then, in a moment that brought the house to its feet — after the message, Pastor Andy officially ordained Chris Johnson as a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ. "A little over a year ago, the Lord really put Chris on my heart." Recognizing the anointing on his life, his heart for the house, his love for God's Word, and his growth in the gift of pastor and teacher, the ordination was a stake in the ground — a marker for Chris to return to on the hard days. "We're driving the stake in the sand. Chris, from this day forward, you're ordained." The church prayed over him and his wife Tiffany, believing that "the call of God is on his life, and that God is gonna continue to use him in incredible ways."

What if the power you're praying for is already alive in you—waiting for Christ's identity to take root and grow? We pull back the curtain on how spiritual gifts actually mature, moving from a flash of revelation to steady, dependable operation. Rather than chasing techniques or isolated Scriptures, we trace a path that begins with identity, passes through formation, and results in a life where the Spirit flows because Jesus truly dwells in our hearts.We explore why Romans 8, Galatians 2, and Ephesians 3 are not stand-alone slogans but a single story: the Spirit puts to death the old ways as Christ lives in us, and “exceeding abundantly” becomes real when our inner life is shaped by His presence. Along the way, we dig into the garden of Eden and manna in the wilderness as living metaphors. In Eden, God forms, plants, and causes growth where He walks with us. With manna, what looks abundant from a distance appears small up close—daily seed that trains trust. Both images reframe expectations: God shows us the end to anchor hope but starts with a seed that requires patient care.If you've seen a bold vision—revival, healing, multiplication—expect God to address the inner ground first. He will shape attitude, peace, and humility to carry the weight of what's coming. Gifts begin as grace in the heart and mature into operations that work, not sporadically but naturally, because they flow from relationship. We share testimonies of healings and baptisms, offer practical steps to nurture the seed, and challenge the mindset that tries to “buy” the kingdom with effort. Walking with the King outperforms any hack, and it restores joy where frustration once lived.Ready to trade striving for presence and see your revelation become fruit?
