Daily Prayer

Help me pay attention today. I want to be so acutely aware of Your presence in every space. Help me notice beauty that doesn't beg for applause, conversations that carry Your kindness, and the still, small ways You're working beneath the surface. Let my feet be rooted, not rushed. Let my heart be soft, not guarded. And let my soul remember that You waste nothing—not even times of slowing down.

Practicing the Way: Rule of Life

A Rule of Life is a helpful tool to organize your life in order to live intentionally in your apprenticeship to Jesus. I've selected these practices to help shape me towards Christ's example. See the Rule of Life Builder for a guided experience to create your own Rule of Life.
