Habakkuk 1:1-4, 2:1-4
Have you ever cried, “How long, O Lord, shall I cry for help…” Often, in the midst of our struggles our faith grows weaker as we feel like God is not listening. But, God does listen, God hears, and God answers by proclaiming that the righteous will live by faith.
Prayer: Abba Father, we cry to you for help on this day. When things don’t go our way, help us to not lose faith, but to still trust in you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalm 37:1-9
Some sound advice from the Psalmist…Commit your way to the Lord; put your trust in the Lord, and see what God will do. In the midst of the struggle we can’t forget to commit our ways to God.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, our hope is in you, for you alone can work miracles and sometimes we need a miracle. When life seems unfair, help us to trust in you, knowing that you give us the desires of our heart. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Timothy 1:1-14
We are reminded today in this passage that faith is a gift of God. However, we need to rekindle the flame of our faith on a daily basis through the help of the Holy Spirit.
Prayer: God, our Father, we are grateful for the gifts of faith, love, and grace that you have poured into our hearts. Help us to exercise our faith, serve with love, and show your grace every day. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Luke 17:5-10
