DEVOTION:
Isaiah 40:28 28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom
PRAYER:
Almighty and Everlasting God,
Before we ask You for anything this morning, we simply want to remember who You are. You are the Creator of the heavens and the earth. The One who spoke light into darkness, who set the stars in their places, who calls each one by name. You are the God who has never been surprised by history, never overwhelmed by circumstances, and never weary in Your care for Your children.
Long before we awakened this morning, You were already at work. You watched over us through the night. You welcomed another sunrise. You continue to hold this world together with a wisdom and power beyond our understanding. And yet, the One who rules the galaxies also knows our names.
What amazing grace. Lord, because we know who You are, we need not be afraid of what this day may hold. We entrust ourselves to You. We pray for our church family, that we would become people whose lives reflect Your goodness, whose words encourage, whose hands serve, and whose hearts remain humble before You.
We remember our President, those who lead our nation, and leaders throughout the world. Grant them wisdom that seeks peace rather than power and courage that chooses what is right over what is easy. We pray for nations living under the shadow of war. Bring comfort to those who mourn, protection to the innocent, and hope where despair has settled.
Lord, Your Son taught us to love our enemies and to pray for those who oppose us. This morning we ask You to do what only You can do. Soften hearts that have become hardened by anger. Replace hatred with mercy, violence with compassion, and pride with humility. And while You are changing them, continue changing us, that we may become more like Christ every day. We pray this prayer for Your church as well.
Thank You for another opportunity to walk with You. Thank You that Your faithfulness is not measured by our circumstances but by Your unchanging character. Whatever this day may bring, we know this: You are already there. We praise You, we trust You, we trust Your Word, and we love You. In the strong and gracious name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
