A Prayer When Your Adult Child No Longer Wants a Relationship with You - Your Daily Prayer - August 18

My children must find their own way; I must discover mine.

A Prayer for Teachers, Leaders, and Caregivers - Your Nightly Prayer - August 17

We are called to give ourselves in loving service to others, just as Christ gave himself for our redemption, healing, and life.

What Is Prayer?

Prayer isn’t a ritual that depends on closing our eyes and putting on holy faces. We don’t have to kneel or sit. We can pray while walking, driving, or working. God responds to a two word cry for help in the middle of a busy afternoon, just like He does to a focused prayer time after reading Scripture in the morning. Praying doesn’t have to be complicated. God delights in any simple words we offer Him.
