Keep going with THIS! 🤗

Vacations (and Saturdays 😁) are meant for switching off, right? Of course, that doesn’t always happen right away, but eventually you reach a point where you simply “forget” the many tasks of everyday life for a while.

But when I lay in bed on the last day of my vacation, my mind started to rumble, and my thoughts started racing: “Oh no, this needs to be done… AND I urgently need to take care of that…” etc.

And when I opened my little book “A Prayer for Every Day” the next morning, it became clear what must once again become my very FIRST priority before worrying: prayer.

Ahh—it’s so clear, and yet we keep forgetting it:

What takes your worries AWAY, God wants to give you THROUGH PRAYER!

And so I’d love to share a prayer from my book with you. The book exists only in German, but I’ve translated this passage into English today, starting with this verse:

“But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” (Matthew 6:6 NIV) 

🙏🏻 Let’s pray:

“Father, as always, I only planned to pray quickly today—and now I feel exposed. How often I turn time with You into something I ‘also have to do,’ instead of recognizing prayer for what it truly is: the most valuable connection of all!

I know that miracles happen when I pray, and I have already experienced so many answered prayers! So why do I still struggle with it?

Holy Spirit, I ask You: help me to become aware again, naturally and continually, that I can, may, and should pray at all times. I also want to create a place of retreat where I can always return to speak with You “in secret,” where You can have me completely for Yourself.

Yes, please help me to stay connected with You 24/7, because what I truly need I find in You alone! Amen.”

You are a miracle!
