Ask God to make the task easy so you can avoid pressure

Ask God to be honored through your words and work

Work hard so other people will notice your faithfulness

Finish the task first and pray about its meaning later

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and lived for myself. I cannot save myself, and I need your mercy. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and confess you as Lord. Let my life belong to you, and teach me to live for the Father's glory. Amen.

Receive Me, Lord Jesus

Father, revive your Church to seek your glory above all else. When we are tempted to make everything about ourselves, teach us to lift our eyes to heaven, trust your timing, and honor you in the hour you give. Make us a people whose lives point back to you, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Revive Us to Seek Your Glory

Name the moment you are in, lift it to the Father, ask him to be glorified in it, and ask for the courage to do what honors him.

Pray at the Turning Point

Father, thank you for Jesus' trust and obedience in the decisive hour. Thank you that he sought your honor and not his own. Teach me to live with the same heart, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Thanks for Jesus' Trust

Praise God for his wisdom in every hour, for the beauty of the Father's glory, and for the Son who gladly points everything back to the Father.

Glory Belongs to You

Father, be near to those who are standing in a hard hour today. Give them clarity, steadiness, and a desire to honor you in what they say and do, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Strength for Today's Hour
