Welcome to today's Guided Prayer, where we invite you to find a quiet space to still your mind and body.
Guided Prayers are a daily 5–10 minute, intentionally created moment to slow down and meet with God—through scripture, reflection, and honest prayer.
It’s not a program you attend.
It’s a pathway you practice.
A guided space where people can stop, breathe, and connect with Jesus—every single day.
Have you ever considered how important community is to God? All throughout scripture, we read about practicing of our faith in community, and it's a reminder that God doesn't expect us to walk alone in our faith. Today we're going to read Hebrews 12, 1 and 2. These verses talk about endurance in our faith. But notice the communal language used, and then notice the example Jesus sets for us, who has modeled endurance for us in a beautifully sacrificial way. Hebrews 12, 1 and 2 says, Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance, the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him, he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Let's start this time of prayer by thanking God that you are not running this race alone. Praise him for the cloud of witnesses who have gone before you and for the people walking beside you today. Is there a weight or sin that has been slowing your steps? Bring that before Him right now. You endured the cross for the joy set before you.
