Your Daily Prayer

You can be fully devoted to the Lord in a way that a married person cannot. Today as we pray over singles, may we remember that they have a beautiful purpose in God’s kingdom. - Emma Danzey SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotional/ Your Daily Bible Verse:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Discover more Christian po...

Have you ever been hated? If so, you’re in good company because Jesus was perfect, yet He had those who hated Him to the extent of wanting Him dead. More concern should be if the world loves us because it’s a sign we most likely aren’t living our lives for God. - Lynette Kittle SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotional/ Your Daily B...

As we are surrounded by loved ones, co-workers, and strangers who do not have Jesus in their hearts, may this be a reminder for us to pray boldly for them and to speak up and share the gospel in authentic ways while we have the time. One of the most powerful ways we can minister to them is by prayer. Let’s take time today to lift up those we are burdened for to know Christ. - Emma Danzey SUBSCRIBE...

Our walk with God isn’t always easy or straightforward. There are times in our spiritual lives when we feel overwhelmed. This might happen during a time of difficulty or struggle or when life goes awry for no apparent reason. No matter the circumstance, in these times, we feel pushed beyond our comfort or ability. We feel lost and confused. - Rev. Kyle Norman SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The...

There are also moments when we are serving the Lord faithfully and do not know how He is going to show up in the midst of the busyness and in our inadequacies. However, He is ever faithful to provide all that we need in Him to accomplish His kingdom work even when we feel weak. - Emma Danzey SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotional...

Do you ever feel like you’re going through the same battle again and again? Like you never find relief from the struggles you’re facing? Maybe, like me, you’ve heard the saying— that each one of us is either about to enter a battle, right in the middle of one, or coming out of one into a time of rest. That can easily cause worry or fear unless we’ve prepared ourselves by having God’s armor firmly...

Today’s prayer is a very personal one for me, and I hope it reaches and touches those in similar situations. My mother has Alzheimer’s — early-onset — she’s only 58. Even if she wasn’t so young, Alzheimer’s is still a horrible disease that changes the very core of an individual until, in one long, agonizing process, you can no longer recognize the person sitting in front of you, and neither can th...

Kindness seems to be a lost art in our culture today. Although it is promoted a lot, true kindness can only come from the Holy Spirit. Sure, a person can do an act of kindness, but a person can truly only be kind because of the Holy Spirit in life. - Emma Danzey SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotional/ Your Daily Bible Verse:  htt...

Our shoulders were never meant to balance the weight of the world around us, but we certainly try sometimes, don’t we? Is there a heavy burden weighing upon your heart and mind today? It is tiring to bear this daily load and responsibility, and the need for hope and relief grows greater by the day. We need the peace and rest Jesus extends to us. Let’s find refuge and fresh new strength in the Word...

Many are reluctant to cry out to God when suffering for fear their complaints would offend Him. And rightly so! Remember in Exodus when the Lord burned with anger at the Israelites for grumbling? But there is a significant difference between complaining about God versus complaining to God. - Ashley Moore SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswa...

Loving ourselves is choosing to see ourselves as loved by God, no matter what. We silence our inner enemy that nitpicks over the littlest of things. The words of Jesus call us to claim God’s love even when we feel we are at our worst. God’s love for us is not a feeling, it is a fact, a truth we claim boldly and relentlessly. - Rev. Kyle Norman SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devoti...

I had forgotten how to pray. It was my first Moms In Prayer group and we bowed our heads and hearts before the Lord to lift our children to him. Tears leaked from my eyes as I sat listening to the other women pray for my child. My pulse pounded in tune to my rapid heart rate as I sat humbled before God. I had forgotten how powerful prayer could be and I realized how I had succumbed to a fatalistic...

As a follower of Christ, I have been called to spread the gospel, to be a fisher of man — that means within my own family and the world around me. I’ve been suppressing that call, even ignoring it, but hearing my sisters admit they have drifted away has awaken that call within me, and I pray that it will for all of us today. - Molly Law SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional: ...

The idea of drawing near God’s throne with confidence can fill us with trepidation. Will God reject us? Will he turn his back to us? Can we be vulnerable before God, or do we need to wear a façade of strength? Jesus knew our struggles and yet he resisted temptation. While we fail and fall, Jesus always resisted and prevailed. What a friend, what a confidant we have in him. He sympathizes with our...

When we learn to number our days, we become more aware of the Holy Spirit at work in us and through us. And staying in sync with him helps us consider each item on our to-do list and decide whether it is a priority. - Kristine Brown SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotional/ Your Daily Bible Verse:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-da...

Discouragement is dangerous. It’s one of the greatest tactics of the enemy, because discouragement ushers in doubt, and doubt makes us question our calling or even worse, our faith. - Andy Lee SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotional/ Your Daily Bible Verse:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Discover more Christian...

Expectations, especially unspoken, can create trouble in our lives. It leads to assumptions where we guess, sometimes wrongly, and then disappointment comes in waves. But do we know how to answer that when Jesus asks the question? - Jessica Van Roekel SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotional/ Your Daily Bible Verse:  https://www.li...

Is the enemy telling you that you will never amount to anything? Is he reminding you of your history of past failures? Do you feel unable to move forward because of so much defeat? Today, we are going to pray boldly for the Holy Spirit to renew us and reveal victory in our lives. We do not have this by anything that we can do, but because of what Jesus has already done for us. - Emma Danzey SUBSCR...

When I think about the joy of my parents and in-laws entering this season, I smile. I am delighted to watch how they step into this new time with such anticipation and excitement. - Emma Danzey SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotional/ Your Daily Bible Verse:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Discover more Christia...

When the calendar hit October 1, my soul filled with glee as I realized the sweep of holidays was in full effect: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve. I love this time of year! Everything feels so festive, people come together more easily, and as the crisp autumn breeze blows the varying color of the leaves that turn into a winter wonderland, it feels almost magical — like anyth...

Rejection had overwhelmed me so much that I wasn’t being fully honest with people in my life. The lie I believed was that I would be rejected if my sin or wrongdoing was discovered. - Emily Rose Massey SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotional/ Your Daily Bible Verse:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Discover more...

Teens struggle for acceptance among peers, and as parents, we need to remind them that they are loved and accepted just as God created them, not because of how they look, what they drive, or the toys that they possess. We need to pray against the negative influence they are most assuredly receiving from their peers. We need to be the loudest voice in their life, filling their hearts and minds with...

Many are creating a Christianity (and Jesus) to their own liking that allows them to continue to embrace worldly ideologies and philosophies that make them feel better about themselves. But in the gospels, Christ assures us that if we try to hang onto our life, we will lose it. If we want to hold onto the world, we will inevitably lose our soul. - Emily Massey SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The...

While we need food daily to nourish our bodies, there is another kind of nourishment that feeds our souls and that’s Jesus Himself. - Alisha Headley SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotional/ Your Daily Bible Verse:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about...

When a storm of life rages all around us, it’s hard to believe any relief waits beyond its terrifying fury. Gray clouds and devastating winds block our view of the coming sunrise. That’s when we must have faith in the certainty that storms will eventually cease. That light will shine once again. - Kristine Brown SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com...
