God’s Glory

“A glorious throne set on high from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary (Jeremiah 17:12).”

We enter God’s throne room and know love beyond measure. We see His glory, above all else. That is why we pray.

A Reminder to Remember

The Lord’s tone sounds sad when he says, “My people have forgotten me days without number (Jeremiah 2:32).”

You matter to God. Remember to pray.

Here’s what they did: O Lord, in distress they sought you, they poured out a whispered prayer (Isaiah 26:16).

Here’s what they knew: O Lord, you will ordain peace for us, for you have indeed done all our works (Isaiah 26:12).

Christmas is a celebration of Jesus’ birth. For to you is born this day a Savior, who is Christ the Lord (from Luke 2:11).

Christmas is also a reminder that Jesus will be back. The Lord himself will descend from heaven (1 Thessalonians 4:16).

Waiting, we pray, “Come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation 22:20).

I rise before dawn and cry for help; I hope in your words (Psalm 119:147).

“Hope in God’s word encouraged him to continue constant in prayer, though the answer did not come immediately.”*

*Matthew Henry, The Matthew Henry Commentary, p. 713.

We pray with thanks because . . .

The Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations (Psalm 100:5).

“Our words are more important than we ever supposed. Saying “I Believe,” for instance, marks the difference between life and death.”*

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9).
