Lord, As the warm summer days give way to crisp fall nights, I pray that we’ll seek you first every day. As we head back to school or to work after vacation days spent with dirty feet and wild hair, I pray that we’ll see your provision in our lives. And as the seasons change…

A Prayer for You
Lord, I want to lift up the person reading this right now. You see their heart and know their mind; may they rest in the knowledge that they are not hidden from you. I ask that your peace and comfort would surround them today. That they would feel your nearness to them as they go…
A Prayer For the Dreamers
Lord, I lift up the dreamers, the believers, and the ones who are hoping against hope. I pray that you sharpen their focus but soften their hearts. I pray for the courage to keep pursuing their dreams, even if it feels like they’re running uphill in the opposite direction of everyone else. May their eyes…
A Prayer for the One Who Feels Overlooked
Lord, I lift up the people who feel as though no one sees them. The ones who are overlooked at work and feel invisible with friends and family. The ones who believe that they could disappear, and no one would notice. Remind them that they are your precious children and that while others may forget…

Putting Off & Pulling On
When I was little, I often had bad dreams. I would wake up in the middle of the night sweaty and scared, clinging to my stuffed horse, praying that what I had just experienced wasn't real. As I fell back asleep, I would try to conjure up a dream of my own, hoping that I…
Bedhead and Cookie Crumbs
Have you ever sat down to pray and instantly felt so inadequate that you'd rather be doing anything else? Because I have. I can't count the number of times that I've set aside just five minutes to pray, and thirty seconds in, I'm already checking the time and thinking about everything on my to-do list.…
Bone Deep Peace
One of my favourite times of the day is the blue hour right before sunrise. Most of the world is still tucked into bed and there is a quietness and stillness that settles over you, and it feels almost irreverent to make a noise and break that silence. Standing in the forest you can hear…
