In Step with the Spirit

Prayer is not a one-way “talk,” where we ask God to do for us the things we want and then get upset at Him when He doesn’t answer the way we expect. Prayer is a two-way conversation. In fact, the longer you walk with God, the better you know His Word, and the closer youContinue reading “In Step with the Spirit”

Choosing What Is Eternal

When this messy world is so up in your face, it’s hard to focus on eternal things, isn’t it?  For instance, a headache can take precedence over being loving and kind.  But a headache is temporal. It’s very real pain I have to go through right now, but it’s not going to follow me toContinue reading “Choosing What Is Eternal”

Ukrainian Refugees Now

About a year ago, we published this prayer below for Ukrainians fleeing their home country as the invasion began. Today, I felt the Lord asking us to re-visit that post, as we continue to pray for this country torn apart by war. There are now more than 8 million Ukrainian refugees spread throughout Europe andContinue reading “Ukrainian Refugees Now”

May Our Homes Be Filled with Love

Lord, please fill our homes with Your presence and Your love. Set us free from the sins and wrong thought processes that make it difficult for our children to see You as You truly are.

Faith and Moral Values

Let’s pray today for God to restore what has been lost, to rebuild our families and culture with truth, faith and love. So much propaganda is happening on children’s channels, in schools, in the news and all across social media to tell us that what is wrong is right, and what is evil is good.Continue reading “Faith and Moral Values”

A Prayer for Mothers

Feel free to write a prayer of blessing for your mother or spiritual mother in the comments. Father God, please wrap Your arms around mothers throughout the world today and let them feel Your love.

For the Anxious Heart

Lord, be our Shield. Block fear from invading our minds, hearts, and homes. When anxiety, worry, and panic overcome us, we have trouble trusting in Your Sovereignty and Your heart of Love. We try to take control, but everything’s so out of control, especially our racing hearts and spiraling thoughts. Rescue us, O Lord, fromContinue reading “For the Anxious Heart”

The Heart of the Matter

In the midst of all the world is facing, God’s been calling me to report briefly on the news here at the Prayer Wall, but deeply on His heart. Wars, devastation, atrocities — none of this is new. We live in a fallen world where sin has made a terrible mark. We as Christ’s bodyContinue reading “The Heart of the Matter”

More than 200 Dead in Mass Shootings This Year

At least 27 have died this past week and more than 200 so far this year in mass shootings across the United States. Let’s pray for the families of those who have died, and for healing for those who survived. Pray also for God’s miraculous intervention to block those in harm’s way from being injured.Continue reading “More than 200 Dead in Mass Shootings This Year”
