Finding Faith begins today with a moment of waiting on God—an invitation to slow your breath, quiet your thoughts, and tune into what truly matters around you. Today, we pray for those who need a reminder of this truth: prayer works. I get it: Even when it doesn’t feel like it, even when silence stretches long, God is listening. Jeremiah 29:12 is where we travel.
Thursday, July 31, 2025: I know how heavy the waiting can get. Maybe your prayers feel dry or stalled. Maybe you’re wondering if anyone is listening. But here’s what’s true: prayer works. Not through magic, not through formulas, but through God who hears. Our issues begin when we put God on our time when we are on His.
Prayer isn’t just for answers. It’s for the strength to keep going, the peace you need right now. It’s for that moment when you need to know someone hears you. And God does. He always has.
So breathe today. Let prayer steady you. Say the words again. Ask again. Thank Him again. And if you’re struggling, don’t carry it alone. Ask someone to pray with you. There’s comfort in knowing someone else is believing for you when you’re too weary to believe for yourself.
Yes, Prayer Works: Bible Reading to Consider
Jeremiah 29:12
“Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.”
Finding Faith In Liturgy: A Moment of Prayer
- Call: Lord, today we hold onto the truth that prayer works.
Response: You hear us. You help us. You hold every prayer close. - Call: For every person growing tired in the waiting.
Response: Meet them with peace. Renew their hope. - Call: When our faith feels weak and our prayers feel small.
Response: Show us that You are near. Strengthen what is fading.
Each day, Get Prayer Today offers a prayer to help us slow down and lift up the needs of the world around us. Finding Faith gives these simple reflections to support your rhythm of prayer, healing, and hope.
Even if your prayers feel quiet today, trust this. Prayer works. God is listening, and He’s not finished with your story.
