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!

Better Sermons, Please

By

Dear God: I have to open up my heart to you, Lord. Here goes: please bless Pastor with an extra portion of your Spirit regarding sermons. Lately they seem so disorganized, so empty of meat, so uninspiring. And the plain reality going in is that preaching has never been his forte. These past few years we’ve had several families finally drift across town, sighing, “We just do not get fed.”

Father, I know that all of us have gifts and gaps, strong points and weak ones. Please help me to be patient with our pastor’s “journeyman” pulpit abilities and his predictable points. I want to have a patient heart and a searching soul; when there’s an occasional good nugget of truth, please don’t let me miss it because I’m fuming over in the corner.

I’m asking you to also help me simply love this man. He serves us faithfully; he visits his members diligently and he has the most loving heart. That’s worth a lot. I realize that we can feed our souls in other ways besides at 11:30 a.m. Sabbath morning; please lead me toward the spiritual resources that I need.

But to the extent that it’s within your appropriate power, Father, nurture our pastor with new ideas and impassioned convictions. Open up his eyes to the illustrations and the gospel nuggets that sparkle in the universe all around us. Add your miraculous blessing to his dogged commitment, and we’ll say “Amen” as often as we can.

In Jesus’ name, Amen!

My Daily Bread

By

Dear God: I’m truly sorry, Father, that my “bless the food” prayers so often get into a rut. Not just the same words, but probably the same numbing syllable count and even the same hackneyed cadence. “Bless this food to the nourishment of our bodies” – I don’t even know what the grammar of that line implies.

What I want to really do is pause, right now, Lord, and thank you at this moment and in full awareness for this food. The salad with its tangy dressing and the croutons. The rich taste of this corn on the cob. My dinner roll and the exquisite flavor of the strawberry jam Aunt Jean gave us last weekend after church. And especially the blueberry sour cream pie . . . wow.

I know there’s more to my eating this meal than the economic cycle of seeds-crops-trucks-warehouse-bar code-pantry-say grace-eat. Food is here because you created a planet that would miraculously produce it. You give farmers a love for the soil and its productive power. You send the sunshine and the rain and the calcium in the dirt. And now I sit down to savor these very bites, and I want to remember that your goodness is present on my plate.

Lord, you know I love to eat! Thank you!
