Daily Prayers

Steady…steady! I got you.

Dear God, sometimes when I walk through this world I feel wobbly…not just because I am a high fall risk, but sometimes I am overwhelmed with the grief and gravity of the world I live in. When I am in one of those wobbly times…either physically or spiritually, help me remember that You are my […]

Bye, bye old year

Dear Father, my God and Savior…today has dawned like every other of the 30,774 days since I was born. Today is the only day I have…not tomorrow or yesterday…just today. I have been sitting reflecting on the year closing today to see if what I traded it off for has had any value. I’m grateful

Tonight is THE night

O, my Father, I cannot fathom…as a Dad…giving up my son for the lives of anybody else. What magnificent undeserved love You showed your creation the night Mary gave birth to Your son. I know You would have sent Him even if I was the only unrepentant sinner ever to live. Thank You for loving

Thanks and Praise…ever

Dear Father, please keep my focus on the fact that when my life is full of praise and thankfulness it becomes a life filled with miracles. Instead of trying to be in control, help me focus on You and what You are doing. Give me a heart like Yours. This I pray earnestly in Jesus’

Make me a good listener, please

LORD Jesus, I want to be alert and listen carefully to You and to the people You bring into my life.

Help me learn to listen without judgment and speak without criticism in all I do, for the sake
