Prayer Devotional

In Psalm 116, David recalls a troubling season of life, where sorrow overshadowed salvation and death seemed much closer than deliverance. In recounting God's rescue and redemption in his life, David then pivots to praising God. He seeks a way to live his life as a thank offering to God for the graciousness and deep blessing he had received. We, too, face troubling seasons, deep trials, and moments of acute crisis. And we have also been rescued and redeemed through the gracious work of Jesus Christ. As we remember our own seasons of struggle, we can be encouraged that we are never alone. ...

In Lift Up Your Hearts, Bishop Kenneth Myers takes the time to explore ten classic Christian prayers line by line, digging deep and revealing the treasures found beneath the surface. Designed to be used as a devotional tool, this book is the perfect complement to daily prayer.

Years ago, I read in Exodus about how God provided manna for His people each day. One morning soon after, I was saying the Lord's prayer with my children. When I said, “give us this day our daily bread,” it stood out to me. Although this reference relates to physical needs, I believe it also pertains to spiritual needs.

Each day He has something to reveal about Himself. “Reflections” comes from a journal that I began writing so I wouldn’t forget these daily treasures.
