Friday Morning Prayer
February 6, 2026
“I will exult and rejoice in your steadfast love, because you have seen my affliction; you have taken heed of my adversities.” — Psalm 31:7
Lord,
As the pale light of dawn stretches across the Florida Mountains, the high desert air holds the sharp, lingering chill of February. Standing here on this Friday morning, amidst the quiet dust and the vast, open sky of Deming, I feel the stillness of the season resting heavily upon the earth. The world seems dormant, waiting for a warmth that has not yet fully arrived, mirroring the quiet spaces within my own soul where I wait for Your presence to stir.
You know the weariness that can settle in at the end of the week, and You see the fragilities I often try to hide. I confess that I frequently rely on my own limited strength, only to find it insufficient, yet I find deep comfort in knowing that You look upon my struggles not with judgment, but with an abiding and steadfast care. Let Your light break through the shadows of my uncertainty just as the morning sun reclaims these plains, reminding me that Your power is made perfect in my weakness and that I am fully known and held by You.
As I move into the duties of this day, give me the eyes to see the small, subtle ways You are bringing about growth in the barren places. Help me to trust that even the smallest seed of faith is enough to invite Your transformative power into my life, turning my anxieties into a quiet confidence. May I walk through these hours with a heart attuned to Your love, believing that You are cultivating beauty and purpose from the very things I thought were too small to matter.
Amen.
May the steadfast love that knows our struggles embrace us all, transforming our quiet hopes into shared strength and guiding our steps into peace.
