New book: Preparing for Glory: Biblical Answers to 40 Questions on Living and Dying in Hope of Heaven. Author, life and legacy coach, speaker

Do you or does someone you know struggle with ment

Do you or does someone you know struggle with mental illness?

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7

Comforting Father,
We lift up all who are affected by mental illness.
Sadly, because of our ignorance about mental illness,
many of the mentally ill suffer “secondary wounds.”
Both the afflicted and their families have suffered
suggestions for quick-fix by faith cures,
condemnation of behavior,
or exile from the body.
As we look to our Lord Jesus,
who came alongside the mentally afflicted
and often healed but always cared,
make us more like him.
Help us to be sensitive,
to consider the context of suffering,
to listen well,
to remember the hope we have to offer—
the incarnate, resurrected, and ascended Christ
will one day come again
to redeem and restore all broken bodies.
How we ache for that day.
In Christ’s restoring name. Amen.
Read 1 Peter 5:10; Matthew 11:28-30; Matthew 4:24; Romans 15:13.

What is your greatest longing? Every valley shall

What is your greatest longing?

Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain.
Isaiah 40:4 ESV

Holy God,
I love this day, a day to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,
and his dream,
yes,
but also a day to name our longing
for the day when that dream will finally come true.
As I re-read the powerful words
Dr. King spoke at the Lincoln Memorial on August 28, 1963,
the gospel roots of his dream are unmistakeable.
He said,
“I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted (Yes),
every hill and mountain shall be made low,
the rough places will be made plain (Yes),
and the crooked places will be made straight (Yes),
and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed [cheering],
and all flesh shall see it together. (Yes Lord)”.
As Dr. King dreamed of a day when the wrongs of slavery
would be made right,
when the ravages of racism
would be healed,
we still long for that day
when your glory will be fully revealed (Isaiah 40:5).
Even now, just over sixty years past the date of his speech,
the sin of racism remains,
and many are discouraged.
Draw us to look to you, Lord,
to see you working in your kingdom already come in Christ,
to create a land in which there is the freedom
for which Christ set every man and woman free (Galatians 5:1).
Help us, even as we long for justice to roll down on this earth
to know there is a day coming
when justice for all people will be the reality
for every person who trusts in Christ as their king.
Even as we long for justice and lean toward that final day,
empower us to love our neighbors by working toward that equality
for every human being today.
In the name of the one who humbled himself
that we might all call your kingdom our home.
Amen.
Read Isaiah 40:1-5.

How are your plans for the new year coming? ‘Fo

How are your plans for the new year coming?

‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ says the Lord. ‘They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.’ Jeremiah 29:11.

Sovereign Lord,
It’s not even the end of January,
and some of the plans and goals we made for this year
have already ended in what looks like “disaster” to us:
instead of being on track to run a 5k,
we had the flu and stayed in bed for a week,
instead of being more patient with our kids,
our teenager wrecked the car and we lost our temper,
instead of planning our anniversary trip,
our spouse was diagnosed with cancer…
All good plans…disrupted.
Thank you for the truth of this verse—
you were speaking to the Israelites
who were exiled in Babylon
because of their disobedience and sin.
Yes, their dreams had been crushed,
their plans changed,
but you promised them redemption and restoration
not after, but during
their time of exile.
Help us draw near to you
and trust in you in disrupted plans,
that we might see the good stories
you are writing in our lives
for your glory.
In Jesus’ redeeming name. Amen.
Read Jeremiah 29:1-11.

Do you need hope for the folly of sin? The fool s

Do you need hope for the folly of sin?

The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’
They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds;
there is none who does good. Psalm 14:1

Merciful and Forgiving Lord,
Thank you for this reminder
that without Jesus, our Savior,
we are all fools.
Our sin nature,
the nature with which we were born
persists in telling us,
“There’s no God.
You are your own god.
Do what feels right to you,
because you rule!”
Our sin nature whispers to us,
“You’re a good person.
You’re not nearly so bad
as that guy down the street
who always yells at his wife and kids.”
The apostle Paul says,
“All have sinned and fall short
of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
David says,
“There is none who does good,
not even one” (Psalm 14:3).
And yet, there is one who did do good,
one who never sinned.
And he came for us,
to be our perfect sacrifice.
He sent his Spirit to arouse us
from our zombie status,
to awaken us to the true wisdom of Jesus.
Thank you, Lord,
for such a great salvation.
Thank you for making us “good”
in Christ’s goodness, our only hope.
Read Psalm 14.

Are you in awe that God invites you to pray?

“Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise.” James 5:13

Good, Good Father,
May we grasp the precious gift you’ve given us in prayer.
Whether we are in trouble or triumph,
we can cry out to you, with tears or with joy.
We don’t have to come up with
highfalutin sounding words.
In fact, you have given us all the words
we need to pray.
When we can’t come up with the words,
all we have to do is open your Word.
If we’re feeling sad, there’s:
“Why are you cast down,
O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil
within me?
Hope in God,
for I shall again praise him,
My salvation and my God” (Psalm 42:5).
If we’re feeling delight,
we shout,
“Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation” (Psalm 95:1).
And when we’re just too numb or confused to pray,
we have the assurance
that the Spirit is groaning for us
and Jesus is interceding for us (Romans 8:26-27; Hebrews 7:25).
Thank you, Lord,
for the sweet communion of prayer.
Amen.
Read James 5:13; Psalm 42; Psalm 95.

Do you sometimes struggle to believe in God’s power?

“Is anything too hard for the Lord?” Genesis 18:13

All-Powerful God,
Every time I read this awkward scene for Sarah in Genesis 18,
I cringe,
mostly because I recognize myself
in her struggle to believe.
The Lord has promised Abraham and Sarah
descendants as numerous as the stars,
and yet, “The way of women had ceased to be with Sarah” (Gen. 18:11),
and Abraham is a ripe 99-years-old.
So we can hardly blame Sarah for laughing
when she overhears one of the visitors,
“the Lord,”
say, “I will surely return to you about this time next year,
and Sarah your wife shall have a son” (Gen. 18:10).
Things get awkward when the Lord asks Abraham,
“Why did Sarah laugh and say,
‘Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?’
Is anything too hard for the Lord?”
Sarah denies laughing, and the Lord responds,
“No, but you did laugh” (Gen. 18:14-15).
Oh Lord, you know the places of our lives
where we struggle to believe that nothing is too hard for you—
For new companionship to ease our loneliness
or for healing in broken relationships…
For healing of a chronic illness
or for belief that a terminal illness will lead to ultimate healing…
For a job that provides for our family
or a job that allows us to escape an abusive boss….
[Name some places you struggle to believe…]
Help us to trust in you to care for us
in every detail of our lives
because you sent your Son in a virgin’s womb,
because you raised your Son from the dead,
that those who trust in him might live forever in your love.
In Jesus’ all-powerful name we pray. Amen.
