DAILY PRAYERS FOR GUYS

To Look More to You and Less to Ourselves

Mighty Rock,
While we can be frustrated when reminded that we don’t have all the answers and are not in control, turn those situations into learning experiences for us. Use them as prompts to lead us to look to you first more often. Whether we’re unclear on the problem or the plan to address it, make it second nature for us to fix our focus on you. When we do, show us repeatedly that you mean it when you promise to work out everything for our good. And forge our faith into such a rock-solid trust in you that we arrive at the point where we couldn’t imagine beginning any pursuit or taking on any challenge without you, your Word, and your promises as our starting point. Less of us, more of you, Lord. Always. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. 

DAILY PRAYERS FOR GUYS

For Focus

Dear Lord,
As technology continues to advance exponentially and the world moves at an increased pace, our ability to remain focused has suffered tremendously. Tools and tech that are supposed to save us time end up deceiving us into thinking we can take on more and get more done. We are tethered to devices that are designed to distract us. We are acquainted with more people than ever, which also makes us aware of more problems and troubles than ever. 

Help us, Lord. First, lead us to set time with you as our non-negotiable priority. Then, provide us with clarity, discernment, and direction, so that we are empowered to take control of our schedules and days. Finally, fix our attention on the things that we have determined matter most, and keep us focused on each responsibility we take on. Let us be present when we are with people and aid us in concentrating whenever a task is before us. In these ways, Lord, equip us to give our best fully to you and others. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
