FUMCFW Prayer Ministries offers many ways to get connected with our praying community. Recognizing that every person has unique gifts and callings, many of which emerge out of times of struggle and pain, we are here to encourage individual spiritual formation and disciplines that can become powerful influences on all aspects of the life-long faith journey.
Looking to spend more time with God? Our Daily Bread Devotionals are written by people of faith and include messages of instruction and inspiration. We invite you to take a few moments to read and reflect upon today’s scripture selection and to carry these thoughts with you into your day. Join us on this daily journey of faith!
There is a moment in Psalm 42 when the psalmist stops talking to God and starts talking to their own soul:
“Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God.” I know something about having conversations with my soul.
When my grandchildren work on a jigsaw puzzle, they often hold up a strange piece and ask, “Where does this one go?”
In Exodus 33 God and Moses are discussing the next steps for the Israelites.
There is something beautiful about Moses being hidden in the cleft of the rock.
Moses said, ‘Show me your glory.’ There is something remarkably bold about this prayer.
Some of my favorite moments happen when my grandchild or great-niece asks questions about history because of something they are learning in school.
Suffering does not always mean someone failed to see the danger.
I grew up in the flat part of North Texas, where on a clear day you could see the Dallas skyscrapers from twenty miles away, so when I moved to New York’s Hudson Valley, the foot of the Catskill Mountains on my drive to work took my breath away.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. (Matthew 6:9-13)
