Stay alert to what God is doing and join in faithfully

Wait until your life feels easy before taking any action

Assume God's work means your own effort no longer matters

Focus only on private devotion and leave ordinary responsibilities aside

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I know I have sinned and I need your mercy. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and trust you as my Lord and Savior. Please forgive me, come into my life, and work in me as only you can. Amen.

Receive Jesus, Who Is at Work

Lord, awaken your Church from passivity and distraction. Where we have grown slow, self-protective, or weary, renew us with obedience, diligence, and compassion. Teach us to recognize what you are already doing and to join you with joy, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Wake Your Church to Your Work

Bring these to God in gratitude: that he has not stopped working, that Jesus shares in the Father's work, and that his care is active even now. Thank him for the comfort of a God who is present and not absent.

Thank You for Ongoing Help

Pray by naming one place where you need to cooperate with what God is already doing. Ask for clear eyes, a willing heart, and one practical step you can take today.

Pray to Join God's Work

Father, you are still working, and I ask you to work in me too. Shape my thoughts, my choices, and my schedule so I do not resist what you are doing. Give me a willing heart to join your work today, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Work in Me Today

Bring these before God: someone who feels worn out, someone who cannot see what God is doing, and someone who needs fresh hope that God is still active. Ask the Lord to strengthen them and show them his care.

For the Weary and Stuck
