REAP

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

ROMANS 12:12

LET'S PRAY

God, thank You for creating me with intention and care. Before I was born, You knew me and prepared plans for me. I want to partner with You in what You are doing in the world. Reveal to me the plans, gifts, and abilities that You want me to develop for future use. Help me to cultivate those gifts as I continue to pursue You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

A PRAYER TO REFOCUS

God, I want more of You.

Too often, I choose to pursue momentary things and push You aside. Please forgive me, and change me. I don’t want to live a life that isn’t focused on You.

As I prepare for Resurrection Sunday, help me to silence the noise in my life. Show me what steps I need to take to refocus my heart, mind, and will on You alone.

Search my heart, and know me. Clean out my life, point out anything that offends You, and make me more like You. Show me the paths that lead to life, and fill me with joy in Your presence.

I love You, and I want to fix my eyes on You.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

LET'S PRAY

God, I want to put You first in my life. I recognize that this is a daily decision that I must make. But my desire truly is to honor You with my thoughts and actions. So today, I am making this my prayer: “Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing to You, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.” In Jesus’ name, Amen.
