Ezekiel 37:5 New International Version (NIV) This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. “I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.” The verse and its surround chapter are a reminder that God is over all. Nothing is impossible with His great power. He can raise the dead to life. When God calls Ezekiel to prophesy in his name, He uses amazing imagery of breathing life into bones of people that have been long since departed. He is telling us through his servant Ezekiel that He will not only bring us back to life, but He will also renew us and give us a purpose so that we may become a part of His epic story. As new creations, we are no longer dead in our sin and left to the elements to decompose, we are now alive in the sacrifice of His son Jesus Christ. God is a God who conquers death. If you feel lost, abandoned, and without hope, fear not, God can conquer anything! Prayer Focus: Praise God for He has defeated sin and death.
Luke 15:24 New International Version (NIV) For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate. "he was lost and is found." The parable of the prodigal child is one of Jesus' amazing stories of a man with two sons. One son works hard for his father and never leaves the homestead. The other son demands his inheritance early, leaves home, squanders it, and returns home with his head hanging low in shame. While this parable teaches us many lessons, one of the key things that we learn from reading it is that before the son returning home could even lift his head up to see his father in the distance, his father was already running to him. You see, God doesn't care who we have been or what we have done, he cares more about who He has created us to be. God is overjoyed when we return home. He runs to us, embraces us, and welcomes each of his wandering children. He allows us to lay our brokenness at His feet, and he rushes us into the door to clean us up and celebrate our return. This is true for each of us at any age and any stage of life. God is on the front porch ready to jump and run to His children. No matter who you are, or what you've done, God is ready for you to come home. His mercy is new every day, and His grace is enough. Can you hear Him calling? Prayer Focus: If God is calling you home, go to Him. Pray for others lost in shame looking for a place to experience grace and mercy.
Genesis 2:7 New International Version (NIV) Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. "...God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life," We are not on this earth as random happenstance. The Lord our God has handcrafted each of us from scratch. We are masterpieces made in His likeness. Living in a world that He Himself made for us is a precious gift. God is not just a creator of a few things, He is the Creator of all things. While we have all been given the ability to create, none of us have the power to create in the way that God can. Why is it then that we as His creations have been tasked to care for his creation? The answer is simply beautiful because God cares for us so deeply and wants us to be involved in His story. God doesn't need any of us, yet he chooses to include us in His great plan. Why does He choose to do this? Because God is not a creator that finishes His work and never glances its way again. God is a Creator that watches over his creation and cares for it in so many ways. One way that He cares for His creation is through us, His image bearers. We were made in His very likeness which means that we have been tasked to be His hands and feet here on Earth. We may never know why He's made things this way, but we can know that He has indeed made it this way. That means that we can change the world by submitting to His will and letting Him work through us to be the caregivers He has gifted us each to be. Prayer Focus: Ask God how you can care for His creation today.
Matthew 6:33 New International Version (NIV) But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness,” A lifetime can be spent seeking fame, fortune, stability, and a myriad of other things that we hope will lead us to where we would like to be or to what we want to have. The problem is that when we seek these things, we find that we are still unsatisfied and insatiably hungry for more. We feel a hole that can’t seem to be filled no matter how much we put into it. This is what Jesus is telling us in this verse. He’s telling us not to worry and stress over the things that we can’t control. He’s telling us to focus on the things above, the things of God, and that all our needs will be met. When we seek a relationship with God, we find one. We find that His Kingdom cannot be matched, and we become whole in the knowledge that we are His heirs and that He will fulfill every promise that He has made to us. This doesn’t always mean that our needs are met right now, or even later, it means that we have been promised a great inheritance in heaven where we will forever be satisfied in His presence. Prayer Focus: Thank God for the great inheritance that He has promised to His children. Pray that others would come to rest in the knowledge of Jesus Christ and the eternity to come.
Hebrews 10:24 New International Version (NIV) And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, “spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” Verses like Hebrews 10:24 remind us that being a follower of Jesus is a team activity. God didn’t design us to walk by ourselves, never sharing our faith with each other. When we see the community of Christ as a whole, we get a bird’s eye view of our family of faith. The joy in being in a team is that we are always surrounded by those who can catch us when we fall, encourage us when we succeed, be honest with us at all times telling us not just what we want to hear, but what we need to hear, push us when we need to be pushed, comfort us when we need to be comforted, and so much more. As we all support each other in the name of Christ, we are firmly glued together in love and action. Our deeds for each other and the world around us become purely routed in being an uncontrollable outpouring of the love that God has infused into us. Prayer focus: Pray for a strengthening bond between you and the community of believers surrounding you. Pray for those seeking that community.
1 John 5:3 New International Version (NIV) In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, “His commands are not burdensome” We’ve already discussed protecting our hearts and letting Jesus take our broken hearts and make them whole. Now we move on to the next step; Keeping His commands. Love is not without action. When we love something or someone, we act on it. We spend time devoted to that which we love. We are constantly in the process of deepening our love. When we let God have, hold, and protect our heart, we are submitting to Him. This means that not only do with love him with our heart and minds, but we also love Him by following the commands that He has given us through His word. Jesus sums up the ten commandments that God gave to Moses in the Old Testament by telling His followers in Mark 12:30-31: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” Jesus knew that if we could focus on these two commandments that we would keep all of the ten commandments by keeping them. These aren’t new commandments that Jesus is giving us, these are the ten commandments broken down is such a way that we can see them clearly. We follow what we love in word and in action. God’s commandments aren’t harsh rules for us to be ruled by,  rather they are given to us as gifts so that we can love God and others to the fullest. Prayer Focus: Pray that God grants you the ability to see His commandments as an outlet for love.
Proverbs 4:23 New International Version (NIV) Above all else, guard your heart,  for everything you do flows from it. “above all else, guard your heart” God created us to love, and love we do. No matter who you are, you love something or someone one. It’s been in our DNA since before the beginning of time. It’s no wonder that there is a Proverb that warns us to protect our heart above anything else. Our hearts were created by God and they belong to Him, we have a tendency to forget that, but it doesn’t make it any less true. When we offer our hearts to sin, money, greed, pride, etc, we are making them vulnerable to a great deal of danger. That is why coming to the cross is often quite painful. It’s hard to lay our broken hearts in front of Jesus and give all of our pain to Him. Yet, there is hope because Jesus is a master heart healer. He heals our hearts so well that we don’t even recognize them any more. He then moves in and protects us from the inside out. God has the ability to soften the hardest hearts, will you let him soften and heal yours? Prayer Focus: Pray that God be the protector of your heart.
“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” It is human nature to desire freedom. Thus, many of us feel that freedom only exists when we set our own rules, regulations, and standards. This makes it easy to view concepts like those within the Bible as oppressive. We can see the deeper teachings of Jesus as strict or impossible. Maybe for some of us, we feel that God has given us unrealistic expectations. This can be the point in our walk with God where we throw our hands up and give in to our temptations. That isn’t freedom, however. Freedom comes when we see God’s great plan for our lives. He sent His one and only Son Jesus Christ to die on a cross so that we may live a life of freedom. A life that isn’t just ordinary, one that is truly free and lived to the fullest. Through the gift of grace, we no longer see God as a rule giver, rather we see Him as the giver of all life. We are truly free when we rest in His immense grace. We are free to live our lives to the fullest when we submit to Him and release our tight grip on what we define as free. Prayer Focus: Pray that you may gain peace within the freedom that God has offered you through His Son Jesus.
John 15:12 New International Version (NIV) My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. “Love each other as I have loved you.” One of Jesus’ commands, and understandably, is that we love each other as He loves us. That’s a big undertaking, and it takes time and practice. We won’t always get love right, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t try again. There is an entire world around us filled with people who haven’t experienced the love of Christ. This command is so that we can all strive to love like our Savior, endlessly, compassionately, patiently, kindly, and so much more. Remember that you may be the only experience of Jesus’ love that someone else happens to encounter in their life, so love well, love without bounds, love until it hurts and then keep going. Jesus loves us radically, He calls us to do the same. The love pouring through us from God can change the world. Are you up for the challenge? Prayer Focus: Pray that your love cannot be contained and that you can learn to pour it out on others without hesitation, just like Jesus does.
Jeremiah 29:13 New International Version (NIV) You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. “You will seek me and find me” This is a promise from God directly to you. Rest in the knowledge that our Father never breaks His promise. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we begin to transform into new creations. Our hearts start to long for the ways of God. As we walk through our lives as Christians and grow in the knowledge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, our hearts reflect the desire for a deeper, ever-growing understanding of the things of God. We start to focus less on the troubles of our day and more on the eternal things to come. The veil over our eyes is lifted and we can see God in all things in the world around. God is not hiding, He’s all around you. Prayer Focus: Pray that God is the truest desire of your heart so that you may find him.
