2 Comments

 
Prodigal Prayers Week 26: A Prayer for Boldness is a powerful Christian devotional based on Matthew 21:21-22. Learn how bold, faith-filled prayer can move mountains as you intercede for prodigals. This Bible study highlights trusting God’s promises, praying for heart transformation, and persevering in prayer. Grow in spiritual boldness, deepen your prayer life, and rest in God’s power to restore, redeem, and do the impossible.
Welcome, friend.

If you’re here, it’s likely because you love someone who has wandered—or because your own heart knows what it feels like to wait, hope, and pray through the ache of distance. You’ve prayed. You’ve wept. You’ve waited. And today, once again, you are choosing to press in.

In 2026, we are walking this road together.

Each Tuesday, we gather here to work through Prodigal Prayers: 52 Weeks of Praying Over the Prodigal—one week at a time, one Scripture, one prayer, one promise.

​There is no rushing here and no falling behind. Come when you can. Stay as long as you need. This is a place for steady faith, honest prayers, and hope that is anchored in our faithful God and refuses to give up.

6/26/2026

Discover how to take back your joy through this Philippians Bible study. Learn to identify the four joy thieves--circumstances, people, things, and worry--and apply biblical truth for lasting joy in Christ. This Christian devotional encourages right thinking, faith over feelings, and spiritual growth. Be equipped to guard your heart, overcome anxiety, and experience true joy rooted in God’s Word, no matter your circumstances.

Identifying the 4 Joy Thieves
​in Philippians

Have you ever woken up on a bright, sunny morning when you should feel great, but you just don’t? I know there are many factors in the lives of women that make life hard and often not enjoyable. I find that often my joy is affected by so many outside influences and can vary based on the moment. A text dings on my phone, and suddenly, my whole attitude shifts. Maybe your child reacts to something you said, and now you are in a bad mood. Maybe your husband makes a careless comment about your appearance or your cooking, and now your whole day is ruined. How do we combat these types of emotional shifts and influences on our joy each day?
