Dear Calvary Members and Friends,
Let us pray with confidence and boldness knowing that He hears and is faithful.
Dear Lord, Our God,
You are the Source of our strength. You are the Strength of our life. In this prayer, we offer total and complete praise to You in all things because You are worthy. Thank You for bringing us into another year. Thank You for all of Your kept promises and how You took care of us in 2025. As we have entered 2026, we pray that You would nourish us with all power according to Your glorious might. In 2026, we ask Your help for discerning Your best for us, and for godly endurance when the wait may seem long for what You’ve promised. We know that discipleship to You is a lifelong commitment. Thank You that Your power is always made perfect in our weakness and that Your grace is always sufficient for us. We ask You to allow us to recognize the richness of Your grace that abounds in every area of our lives individually and collectively. Today, hear our prayer that in every area where we are weak that we would look to You and Your Word and experience the power that fills us with Your strength. Your Son, Jesus, knew that knowing the words of His Father was essential to victory. He faced the lies of Satan with Your Word. Thank You for Your Word that is living and active. Your Word brings energy and restoration and shows us how to live. Lead us through Your Holy Spirit to follow our Lord’s example each day by relying on Your Word in our lives. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Dear Lord and Father,

Through the trials and testing of this day, thank You that our faith was fortified and built up and that whatever we faced today has already begun to build up endurance for tomorrow. Thank You, Lord, that You cause us to persevere and win. Through the watches of the night, even as we rest, thank you for strengthening us by Your Holy Spirit and relieving any anxiety we may have. We remember that Your love endures forever and trust that You walk with us. May our thoughts and actions be fortified and empowered knowing Your presence is our optimum source of hspiritual stamina. Order our steps, words, and thoughts as we come to the close of this day. In our blessed Savior’s name, Amen.
