A prayer based on 1 Timothy 1:18-19. It can be hard to live out your faith, especially when people are constantly breaking you down, and it feels like God isn't on your side. While we may not know why bad things happen to us, it is important to stay true to our faith through it all. Regardless of his reasons, we can always rest in the knowledge tha…

A prayer based on Matthew 16:13-17. I recently heard a story about a little boy who, because of abuse and neglect at the hands of his own parents, went to live in a foster home. His foster parents were loving people who longed to give him a stable home. On the first day of school, his foster dad drove him to the front of the school and told him, “I…

A prayer based on Mark 1:27. When was the last time you were amazed? Truly, think about it. It's tricky isn't it? I know I've been amazed by how quickly my house can get messy or how the dryer shrinks my jeans. I've been amazed by the resources it takes to keep a family thriving or amazed by how long it takes to get through a grocery store checkout…

A prayer based on Mark 14:66-68. Have you ever looked for something, afraid you'd actually find it? Maybe a job you worried you'd fail miserably at, so you never applied. Maybe friendship at a moms group, but you doubted anybody would talk to you, so you didn't go. We want Jesus. We know we need to seek him. But when it comes to actually seeking Je…

A prayer based on Psalm 51:1-2. A strange tickling sensation on my face woke me with a start. Then I yelped and leaped off the couch as I realized my toddler had been doodling on both the couch and my face and arms, with a black permanent marker! I frantically ripped covers off the cushions and fled to the basement to scrub away my son's artistry b…

A prayer based on Psalm 23:1-2. My son shared how grateful he was that a shepherd would not forget his sheep even when it was lost. His vivid explanation of the shepherd's relentless search, care, and comfort for his sheep touched a soft place in my son's heart as he was struggling with his own recent behavior issues and felt like he kept getting s…

A prayer based on 1 Thessalonians 2:4. When we realize the goodness of God, we get a glimpse of how human we are. Knowing our humanity, it's hard to imagine ourselves as able to please God. This verse is encouraging, though, because it reminds us that we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel! What areas of your life are you not …

A prayer based on 1 Timothy 6:17. Josiah read a number of books about investing and studied the lives of some of the most successful men in the world of finance. However, at the same time, he was reading other books by a great deal of amazing men like C.S. Lewis and St. Augustine, as well as the Bible. Josiah will tell you that if one truth stood o…

A prayer based on Proverbs 14:29. Just today, a group of my friends were discussing how easy it is to be angry with your children all the time. They whine and complain, they don't get schoolwork done, and they get on our nerves with their bickering. Worse yet, we think somehow we're gonna motivate them to do the right thing with our anger. What can…

A prayer based on Luke 7:47. On a fall morning, I was pulled over speeding in a school zone. The morning had been a challenge, and I was ready to quit by 8am. My youngest turned into a puddle as we were going out the door and wouldn’t move. Then he took off like a rocket down the driveway. As I scooped him up and wrestled him into his car seat, I l…

A prayer based on Daniel 1:19. When we feel that we are different and loved beyond measure by God it is incredible, but it also calls us to do difficult things—to uphold integrity, to be truth tellers, to swim against the current. The world will be pulling at us to fall in line and follow suit. We are asked to stand up and stand alone—to not let th…

A prayer based on Psalm 3:3. I hung up the phone in disappointment. Though I hoped for protection, the attorney couldn't help. I was vulnerable and at risk of dishonor. It felt so unfair to be targeted by evil intent, left craving safety and security. I dropped my head in defeat and disappointment. How have you experienced unfairness or disgrace? W…

A prayer based on Psalm 13:5-6. It was one of those, “terrible, horrible, no good, very bad” days. From the moment I woke up to find our air conditioner wasn't working during a hot Alabama summer, it was clear this day wasn't going in the best day ever column. Harsh words, disappointing news, and miserable heat blended together into what could, at …

A prayer based on Proverbs 12:18. There is one thing in our lives that holds great power that can be easily used for both great good and great evil. I have seen it bring people together and tear others apart. I have used it for both wonderful and terrible purposes. It is something none of us can escape. I'm talking about the power of the tongue. Wh…

A prayer based on Ecclesiastes 10:4. "If your boss is angry at you, don't quit. A quiet spirit can overcome even great mistakes." Ecclesiastes 10:4 Have you ever had one of those relationships? The ones in which you find it impossible to please the other person, no matter what you do? It can be difficult and demoralizing, but it's survivable if you…

A prayer based on Proverbs 22:11. I have a boy with big feelings—HUGE feelings—and anxiety that tricks him into thinking some of his feelings are true when they actually aren't. To keep his heart pure, the Holy Spirit continually helps him focus on the truth, we often recite Philippians 4:8 together, “Finally brothers whatever is true, whatever is …

A prayer based on Psalm 31:3. Most of the time, I am able to accept frustrations and difficulties as a part of the transformational work that God is doing either in my own life or in the lives of my children. Parenting is not easy, but it is the struggle and difficulty that cause me to run to the cross faster than anything else. But there are days …

A prayer based on Proverbs 14:29. We live in a time when it is easier than ever to share the first thing that comes to our minds with hundreds or thousands of people. I have worked in the world of social media and know all the wonderful things that can happen because of it, but the most prevalent thing I find is people speaking (or typing and hitti…

A prayer based on Daniel 6:10. He spent the night wondering. Would the faithful man's God deliver him? Distressed king Darius witnessed the excellent spirit of Daniel, the noble prisoner he elevated to leadership because he was faithful. But faithfulness comes with a cost. God's man inside a godless Kingdom found himself on the wrong side of the la…

A prayer based on Ecclesiastes 7:11-12. My daughter and I drove by Dinah's place of business one Tuesday night and there was a line out the door. “Tuesday must be half price night,” she said, with a slight laugh in her voice. The people in line were seekers. They wanted something they believed Dinah could give them. Ultimately they wanted a short c…

A prayer based on Proverbs 30:5. I sat across from my son who was struggling with math, took his paper and pencil, and wrote these words at the top of the page. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. That's Philippians 4:13. I underlined "all things," circled "through Christ," and then I told him about the first time I flew by my…

A prayer based on Luke 6:45. Yesterday, as I drove my son and his best friend to baseball practice, I overheard them talking about what they would do if they received one wish and could ask for anything they wanted. They batted around some interesting ideas like, I'd like to get good grades for the rest of school, or I'd like to never be wrong agai…

A prayer based on Luke 6:12. This verse pretty much summarizes Jesus’ way of life: His decisions and choices were made only after He spent time in communion with His Father. He relied on His Father to accomplish every single thing He was called to do. Are you in consistent prayer? Do you spend time in prayer before you make decisions? Listen to tod…

A prayer based on Psalm 18:2. In the Psalms, God is often described as a shield. Where else would we need a shield but on the battlefield? When the battle for our soul rages around us, we desperately need our shield. Are you in a battle today? Listen to today's podcast episode from Christie Thomas. Would you like to have today's episode in written …

A prayer based on 1 Timothy 4:16. He was my daddy. I grew up watching him seek to live his life above reproach. For him, that meant a highly disciplined life, a strict routine, and staying far away from even the appearance of evil. At times, his lifestyle seemed overly rigid to me, but as I have grown and matured, I can see why he chose to live the…

A prayer based on John 10:7-11. The e-mail didn't sound right, so I forwarded it to our tech director, asking, “Can I trust this?” “No! Don't click it!” he quickly replied, and then pointed out telltale signs of a scam. We live in a day of deception. For example, the other day I googled the word hope, and found over 45 million options. Which ones c…
  continue reading
 
A prayer based on Psalm 10:17-18. You and I may not need to worry about the threat of a jail sentence for our faith, but that doesn't mean life is easy. Cancer, death, heartbreak, chronic pain, and brokenness plague our families, and we ask the same questions that Gulner's son asked. Why doesn't God fix the problem? Why does he let innocent men sit…
  continue reading
 
A prayer based on Luke 5:18-19. There were several times during my college years that I questioned my faith and wondered if God was real. During an especially hard time when my parents were separated, I wondered, “Why do I hurt so bad if God loves me so much?” Instead of answering that question directly, God spoke to me through my friends. How has …
