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!
I think most of us have felt an apparent absence, silence, or inactivity from God; it seems that He is sleeping while we are dealing with our needs, a strong storm in our life that we feel our life is sinking, and there is no sign that the storm is going to end soon.
In these days that we have had low temperatures, I remember that in February 2021, we had some very cold days.
There is a passage that I share a lot in funerals, and it is Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, and it tells us that everything has its time, to weep and to laugh, to embrace and to refrain from embracing, to be born and to die.
Every time I get home, the first question is, “How was your day? And typically my answer is, Great!
A group of friends, a sick person, helped and directed by those friends to Jesus. Not only was he healed, but his sins were forgiven, religious authorities were scandalized, and witnesses to this event were amazed.
Jesus was teaching a great number of people, so many that no one else could enter.
In the past, it was very common to stop praying when I was angry about something, did not feel comfortable, or did not feel like praying.
In the mid-nineties, I was sent to work as a manager in a clothing store in another city.
In the late 70’s and early 80’s, we had a very active pastor, and his wife collaborated a lot with him. They both led the congregation.

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)
