We have authority in prayer Every household, workplace, neighborhood, and even nation has a unique spiritual atmosphere or prevalent climate. I am sure you have felt it. You walk into a store or someone’s home and immediately feel something difficult to explain, whether it is peace and joy, or a prevailing darkness and heaviness. We […]

When life feels overwhelming, and time is of the essence, you need a short prayer about stress.

The best time to pray for your husband is when you remember to pray for your husband. For some, morning prayers for your husband may feel like a cheesy way to begin your coffee routine, but in the flurry of life, it can be easy to forget that you have the most power to influence […]

I have 3 prayers for our government It is better to pray for governmental leaders — local, state, and national — than to criticize them. This doesn’t mean we always agree with their every action or condone legislative decisions contrary to biblical principles. It does mean, however, that we respect positions of authority (Hebrews 13:17), […]

A Christmas to Remember- Daily Prayer with Dutch Sheets I was privileged to contribute “A Christmas to Remember” from prayersaturated.life to Dutch Sheet’s Give Him 15 video devotional.
