PRAYER OF THE DAY

Praying with Paul from Heartlight Eldon Degge turns the apostle Paul's writings into daily, powerful prayers.

  • God's Will: Perfect Love
    on July 22, 2025 at 7:00 am

    1 Thessalonians 4:9-12Dear Father, perfecter of our love,Don't ever let us disregard you or your Holy Spirit, which you give us. Give us perfect love for our brothers and sisters in Christ. Let this teaching of yours fill our minds. Let this love among us grow more and more, every day and in every way.May we aspire to live quietly, to mind our own affairs, and to work with our hands or our minds, so that we may be dependent on no one and command the respect of those outside your family. May that respect lead them to listen, to heed, and also to become your children.In the name of Jesus I ask. Amen.

  • God's Will: Sanctification
    on July 21, 2025 at 7:00 am

    1 Thessalonians 4:1-7Dear Father, sanctifier of families,Help us to learn how we ought to live and how we ought to please you. Help us give greater attention and effort to this. Your will for us is our sanctification, so enable us to abstain from all immorality.Many people around us glorify and romanticize lust. Help us to reject this way of looking at things. Guide believers into marriages of holiness and honor, giving themselves to each other in spiritual union with Christ along with the joining of personalities and bodies.Help our marriages to be established as the gathering of two in your name. Help our families to be your church in miniature. Help every follower of yours respect the marriage relationship of others and defraud no one in this matter.You have not called us to uncleanness, but holiness. Thank you, Father, for this high calling. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.Ⓒ 1996-2025 Heartlight, Inc.

  • Care for Absent Loved Ones
    on July 20, 2025 at 7:00 am

    1 Thessalonians 3:1-13Dear Father, our partner in caring,How hard it is to be far away from those we want to encourage to walk in your ways. We leave them in your hands, LORD, and ask you to send your angels to guard their ways. Keep those that we love from the power of the tempter. Grant us good news from them. We long to hear that they are learning more and more of your will and growing in your grace. Let us know that they are standing firm in truth. What thanksgiving we send before your throne, what joy we feel for them before you, our God. What a torrent of prayer we pour out before you that whatever is lacking in their faith may be supplied!Make us the agents who will supply their spiritual needs. Let there be many times for us and our loved ones to be together for times of refreshment in your word and in prayer.In the name of Jesus I ask. Amen.Ⓒ 1996-2025 Heartlight, Inc.

  • God's Word
    on July 19, 2025 at 7:00 am

    1 Thessalonians 2:13-20Dear Father, real source of the Bible,Thank you for the word proclaimed in the New Testament. Help us accept it for what it really is, not mere words written by men, but the word of God, your will revealed to us and made alive in our lives.May Jewish members of your church bear a great witness to Jesus as their rightful Messiah. May non-Jewish members follow their example and be willing to suffer with them for the salvation of mankind, Jew and non-Jew.Father, be with those young disciples who have come to you through our efforts, even our own children. They will be our hope and joy and crown of boasting when Jesus returns, for we shall be together with them and with him. They will be our glory and our joy.In the name of Jesus we ask. Amen.Ⓒ 1996-2025 Heartlight, Inc. This material may not be reproduced in part or whole for commercial use without written consent.

  • Holy and Blameless
    on July 18, 2025 at 7:00 am

    1 Thessalonians 2:5-12Dear Father,Keep all your preachers from using words of flattery, any cloak of greed, or from seeking glory for themselves, even though they have certain rights of support in the gospel. Let them reach out to people with care and gentleness, like a nurse caring for infants. Help them to be willing to share not only the gospel but their very selves.May your witnesses exhibit holy, blameless, and righteous behavior, showing the care of a father, even as you do, as they exhort and encourage and charge people to lead lives worthy of you, the great wonderful and loving God who calls men into his own kingdom and glory.In the holy name of Jesus. Amen.Ⓒ 1996-2025 Heartlight, Inc. This material may not be reproduced in part or whole for commercial use without written consent.
