DAILY PRAYERS FOR GUYS

For Troubleshooting in Worship

Heavenly Father,
Sundays are sacred. Gathering together for worship with fellow believers is one of the most edifying ways you feed our faith. Yet, because we are flawed people living in a fallen world, we know that unexpected dilemmas will occasionally arise, presenting problems for worship. When someone is sick, technology glitches, nature strikes, or any number of challenges bubble up to the surface, thank you for the adaptability of so many to problem-solve and make the most of difficult situations. Thank you for worshippers who are patient and understanding, and thank you, Lord, for providing so many different ways for your Word to be proclaimed and heard, despite so many things that can go wrong. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. 

DAILY PRAYERS FOR GUYS

For Flexibility

Loving Father,
While structure and routine in our lives provide stability and security, there are times and seasons in our lives that also require flexibility. Help me identify these situations when they arise, and give me both the discernment and the willingness to be appropriately flexible. Keep me from avoiding each extreme: being either too rigid with routine or too flaky in my flexibility.

Direct me also to avoid forcing flexibility on others or changing just for the sake of change. As I assess what any given situation calls for, remind me to give consideration to the needs of others who might be affected. When adaptability is called for, let me proceed with patience and caution for the benefit of those who might struggle more with any changes. Allow flexibility and adaptability to remain blessings by always being implemented lovingly and appropriately. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
