Praying the Scriptures
Wednesday Morning Prayer
February 4, 2026
“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” — John 14:6
Holy Father,
I wake to the stillness of this February morning in Deming, watching the first light touch the rugged peaks of the Florida Mountains. As the cool desert air settles over the earth, I feel the weight of my own limitations and the fragility of my understanding. Like the dormant seeds hidden beneath the dry soil, my faith often feels small and quiet, waiting for a sign of life. I come before You in my weakness, setting aside my own efforts to find the way, and instead leaning fully into Your presence as the only true path for my wandering heart.
Lord, I look out at the vast horizon and recognize how easily I am lost in the shadows of uncertainty and the complexities of this world. Yet, I trust that You are the light that pierces through the winter gloom, illuminating the truth that my human wisdom cannot grasp. Even when the ground seems barren and the progress slow, I believe that Your power is moving in the unseen spaces of my life. Break through the darkness of my doubt and steady my feet upon the narrow road, reminding me that Your strength is made perfect in my insufficiency.
As the sun rises higher over the high desert, I surrender this Wednesday into Your hands, confident that You can bring growth from the smallest measure of my devotion. I ask for the courage to walk with a renewed purpose, trusting not in my own ability to change my circumstances, but in Your sovereign grace to transform my spirit. May every step I take today be guided by Your hand and every word I speak reflect the hope I found in You. I step into the day with a quiet heart, knowing that You are the life that sustains me and the guide who brings me home.
Amen.
May the peace that surpasses all understanding rest upon you, guiding your steps in grace and filling your heart with hope as you journey through this day.
