Desert Grace: Contemplative Healing Prayers

In this powerful guided prayer episode, we take up our armor through submitting our whole selves to the authority, and presence of God. Together, we pray for wisdom, discernment, peace of mind, emotional healing, spiritual covering, and renewed courage to stand firm in our faith in Jesus Christ. This episode is an invitation to surrender fear, break agreement with lies, and rest in the truth of wh...

Theme It is Easter morning, and He has risen! Today, we celebrate not only the resurrection of Jesus but also our identity in Him. Through Christ’s victory over sin and death, we are transformed—no longer defined by our past but marked by His righteousness, grace, and new life. Our identity is now hidden securely with Christ, and our hearts are set on heavenly realities. Let's embrace our newn...

Theme The spaces in between the busy times allow us to find rest and restoration. It can be uncomfortable when we are not sure what is going to happen next, but you expect that something new is on the horizon! Enter rest with the Lord today as you wait in anticipation Christ's return! Scriptures Mark 6:31-32 – “And he said to them, 'Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a wh...

Theme I could imagine how crushing it was for Jesus’ disciples and family to watch him die. In that moment it looked like darkness won and they didn’t know that resurrection was on the other side of death. Jesus gave his disciples a promise and though they couldn’t understand or see how it could be possible, it didn’t make it any less true. Many of you are battling spiritual warfare and it looks l...

Theme Jesus’ sacrifice invites us to lay down our own lives in service to God and others. As we identify with His ultimate sacrifice, we are called to live sacrificially. Scriptures Luke 22:42 – "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." Romans 12:1 – "Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bod...

Theme Humility is not merely thinking less about ourselves, but opening to Jesus to be fully vulnerable at the risk of our reputation. Jesus showed ultimate humility by giving up His divine nature to become human like us. In today’s prayer practice, let’s examine how we can identify with Christ’s humility in our own lives.

Theme Christ desires deep, sacrificial love and unity within His body. This day focuses on love as the foundation of community. Love is distinct from compassion as it is a desire to draw close to another in unity. Scriptures John 13:34-35 – "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." Ephesians 4:1-3 – "Make every effort to keep th...

Jesus demonstrated boundless compassion throughout His life, especially toward the broken, the hurting, and the lost. This meditation and listening prayer exercise teaches us how we can walk in Jesus' footsteps by incorporating compassion into our lives. Scriptures: Matthew 9:36 – "When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep witho...
