Praying the Scriptures
Tuesday Morning Prayer
February 3, 2026
“For in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith. As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.” — Galatians 3:26-27
Heavenly Father,
The chill of this February morning lingers over the high desert, and as I watch the dawn slowly outline the Florida Mountains, I am humbled by the vastness of this landscape and the stillness of the valley. The air is crisp and sharp, a reminder that winter has not yet released its hold on the mesquite and the sage, yet I come to You seeking a warmth that the rising sun alone cannot provide. In this quiet beginning to a Tuesday, I bring You my tired spirit and my human frailty, asking that You wrap me in a presence more tangible than the cold, grounding me in the truth of who I am when I am found in You.
I confess that I often look at my own limited strength and feel unequal to the tasks ahead, seeing only the shadows of uncertainty rather than the light of Your promise. Yet, I ask for the grace to clothe myself in Your Son this day, covering my doubts with the assurance of Your adoption and my weakness with Your power. Let the reality of being Your child sink deep into my bones, dissolving the fear that I must navigate this life by my own grit; instead, let me rely entirely on the transformative identity You have bestowed upon me, trusting that Your strength is made perfect in the very places where I feel most inadequate.
Send me out into this day with a quiet confidence, knowing that You are at work even in the hidden, dormant places of my life that seem as still as this winter earth. Just as the desert waits patiently for the slightest rain to bring forth bloom, help me to trust that even the smallest measure of faith, nurtured by Your hand, is enough to bring about profound growth and change. May I walk through the hours ahead not as a wanderer lost in the wilderness, but as one who belongs to You, carrying a hope that endures and a purpose that breathes life into the mundane.
Amen.
May the grace that clothes us all send us out in unity, empowering us to recognize the sacred worth of every person we encounter on our journey today.
