Realign Our Hearts and Minds | Guided Prayers

Today, as we pause our day to realign our heart and mind with God through prayer, take a few deep breaths and wait a moment.

Let the silence separate the busyness of the day with the connection we are making with God through this time of prayer.

Waiting is one of the hardest parts of hope.

But God does deep work in waiting seasons, building faith, character, and trust.

Hope grows roots in the soil of patience.

Paul writes this about waiting and hope in Romans.

But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

Let's begin by thanking God for his patience toward you and for his faithfulness that never wavers while you wait.

Are you waiting for something today?

Healing, direction, restoration, answers, a relationship, a job, a dream.

Tell the Lord about it and ask Him to strengthen your hope as you wait.

Ask that God would renew their strength and refresh their hope.

You are where our hope is anchored.

You are where our hope is restored.

Keep our hope from dimming in seasons of waiting or frustration or confusion.

Teach us to trust your timing and to rest in your perfect faithfulness.

Amen.
