A Prayer to Combat Jealousy Jealousy is a subtle but destructive force that can creep into our hearts and relationships. In today's episode, we look at King Saul’s jealousy of David, the “green-eyed monster” Shakespeare warned of, and how jealousy can consume us if left unchecked. Through personal stories—including a lesson from kids’ soccer trophies—we explore how jealousy separates us, while love and gratitude draw us closer to God and one another. Reference: Proverbs 14:30 Prayer: Jesus, forgive me for being jealous of others. Help me to remain humble and grateful for all the blessings in my life, and to rejoice when blessings come to others. Show me the warning signs when the green-eyed monster rears its ugly head in my or my kids’ hearts, and give me the wisdom to help them navigate those situations with grace. Lord, set my children free from jealousy so that they may see others as co-laborers for Christ, rather than competitors. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

A Prayer for Comfort As I Anticipate the Next Season
A Prayer for Comfort As I Anticipate the Next Season Have you ever sat in the bittersweet moments of parenting—when children begin to step into independence, and the reality of them slowly leaving home starts to set in?It’s in these tender seasons of grief and transition that God reminds us He is the God of all comfort, walking with us through each change. Reference: 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 Prayer: Father, you are the Father of mercies and comfort. Thank you for allowing me the freedom to grieve and for promising that you are there to comfort and uphold me. I need your strength and comfort as my children get older, more independent, and eventually leave home. I want to glorify you in this transition, even though it is one of the hardest life changes. Please use me in the lives of others who might be going through a similar season. Help me to comfort others in the same way you have comforted me. Amen.

A Prayer for An Open Door
What if hospitality wasn’t about a spotless home, the perfect meal, or curated moments—but simply about presence? A Prayer for an Open Door Today’s episode by Abby Kuykendall, we explore the beauty of opening our doors, fingerprints and all, and welcoming others the way Christ welcomes us. From Zacchaeus’ messy house to Matthew’s table full of “disreputable sinners,” Scripture reminds us that hospitality is about grace, not performance. Reference: Matthew 9:10 Prayer: Lord, you see the hearts of every mom juggling laundry, dinner, errands and little hands tugging at her all at once. You know the weight we carry when we feel like we have to do it all and do it perfectly. But you remind us in Hebrews 12, one, to lay aside every weight and sin which clings so closely and to run with endurance the race that is set before us. Today we choose to throw off the heavy cloak of perfection that entangles us and instead fix our eyes on you. Our hospitable Lord who has prepared a table for us and invited us in. Teach us to work diligently, not for the applause, but out of love for you. Help us to see that an open heart matters more than a perfect home and that every act of service is holy when it's done for you. Let our homes be places of peace, our tables be places of welcome, and our lives a reflection of your open armed grace. In Jesus' name, amen.
