A Prayer for When We’ve Committed “Big” Sins

A Prayer about God’s Purpose and Plan

A Prayer about Praying Lament Back to God
Today, we are praying one of the lament Psalms back to God. Maybe you are hurting, or maybe you know someone who is. Sometimes when we're hurting, we are afraid to be honest with God. The Psalms of lament can help us know what to say in such a time. How long, O Lord?...
A Prayer about Making a Joyful Noise
Hi Friends, Today and tomorrow, we are going to pray through Psalm 100. Praying through Scripture is a great way to fuel our prayers with the Spirit’s words. It’s fairly simple: we begin with the Scripture and pray whatever comes to mind. I will give examples for each...
