Campaign Home \ Prayer \ Daily Prayer \ Week 1

Week 1
Day 1

Monday - O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge. - Psalms 62:8  NLT

Reflect: Why is trusting God difficult?  Sure it’s easy when life is sailing smoothly, but what about when things go badly?  How do we react
  under pressure?  Trusting God involves giving him our disappointments, fears, and hurts. “Trust in Him at all times.”

Pray; Father, show me how I’m not trusting you. Help me replace worry and complaining with trust.


Day 2
Tuesday - Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.” - Matthew 16:26 NLT

Reflect: From a human perspective, at times things may seem impossible. But with God all things are possible. Some might say there is no way we can build a church: not enough members,money, or infrastructure.  But is anything too tough for the God of the universe?

Pray: Father, I praise you because you are the God of the impossible.  Give us faith as we seek to build.

Day 3
Wednesday - But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. - Isaiah 41:31 NLT

Reflect: Who likes to wait for anything?  We live in an instant gratification society.  It’s difficult for most of us to wait at a light or a grocery line.  God tells us to slow down and trust him. 

Pray: Father, help me to slow down and take time to read your word, pray, and listen.  Show me the things you would have me do.

Day 4
Thursday - He called you to salvation when we told you the Good News; now you can share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. - 2 Thessalonians 2:14 NLT

Reflect: God has not only saved us, but he calls us to invest in others. Start by building a friendship with someone living far from God.  They will  naturally wonder why you care. Later you can talk about what God has done in your life.

Pray: Father, show me the person you would like me to invest in today so they might know you.

Day 5
Friday - Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises. - Romans 4:20-21 NLT

Reflect:  Verses like this cause us to think we will never have that kind of faith. But Abraham struggled with the same sins and failures we
  experience. Still he trusted God.  His faith was strengthened by the hardships he faced.

Pray: Father, help me not to resist the hardships that enter my life.  Help my faith to grow through each difficulty I face.
