My Child Is Hurting

Dear God: It’s hard being a parent when I see my child experiencing something painful that I can’t do anything about. My son is depressed and lonely. Help him take his medication. But more than that, help him find comfort and healing in You. Show him You care about his feelings, his job, and his present situation. Bring someone into his life that he can relate to–someone who will be a positive influence.

Bless other parents who are also experiencing the pain of letting go. You created us in the first place and I know You will make all things beautiful in your time.

In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Resurrection Hope

Dear God: Thank you for the Easter season that reaffirms our faith, trust and hope in the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. He gives us the hope to which we cling—”Because I live—you too shall live.” Lord, your promise of eternal life with you is awesome.

You told us that “Everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16, NLT). Thank you for this assurance. Please be near and bring comfort to those who have recently lost loved ones. May the presence of your Holy Spirit bring comfort and peace to their lives.

Thank you Jesus for being such a mighty Savior to gain the victory over death and the grave. Thank you for being our living Savior, soon to return and take us to live with you where there will be no more death (Revelation 21:4).

In Jesus’ name. Amen!
Bud Roberts writes from Northern California.

Exposing Your Grace

Dear God: It’s a new day and I thank You for bringing me to it; for the benefits of rest and renewal. I just finished reading about when Jesus healed several people of their physical problems. The Pharasees (religious leaders) scolded one man for carrying his bed roll on the Sabbath. Evidentailly the church leaders saw themselves as the designated “spiritual police” who were to make sure people didn’t break God’s laws. The only problem was, they didn’t really know You. 

Jesus swept all of this away when he told the healed man to pick up his bed roll and walk. Controversy could have been avoided if He had just said, “get and and walk, you’re healed.” But Jesus came to change people’s misconceptions about You and Your character. This required a frontal attack on the sanctimonious piety being pushed by the religious leaders of that time. Eventually it got Him killed! But not before Jesus was able to expose their errors and spread the good news about God’s grace.

Thank You for loving me that much. Help me today to reflect this love to those around me.  

In Jesus’ name. Amen!

Sand Dollars and Snow

Dear God: Thank you for making our world so diverse. I used to live in the Midwest where it’s cold much of the Winter. While living there, I remember taking a trip to Florida to collect shells on a sunny beach.. Back home, the sand dollars I had carefully picked, then packed and brought home, were drying on the picnic table outside. But something amazing happened. It snowed on my beautiful white sand dollars.

I enjoyed showing my four-year-old grandson the miracle of white. I told him that you’ve promised to take our horrible blood-red sins and make them white as snow or as white as wool (Isaiah 1:18) or maybe as white as the beautiful sand dollars you created.

In Jesus’ name. Amen!

Discouragement

Dear God: Be there for every person who is discouraged. For those who feel like giving up and calling it quits. For those who believe nothing turns out right for them. As the surge of wind lifts the tired bird, O Lord, may the flow of Your Holy Spirit lift every tired individual. Speak words of courage and grant strength to those who seem to have no reason to live. Let all know that You love them individually. In fact, so much that You gave Your “only begotten Son so that all may have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) 

Father, be the light (Psalm 27:1) to all who dwell in darkness. Let everyone who is afraid know they can trust You (Psalm 56:3). You promised to deliver us from our fears and save us from our troubles (Psalm 34:4-7). Lord Jesus, I am counting on You to keep Your promise. I know You will and I thank You!

In Jesus’ name. Amen!
