This is the audio from the May 9, 2025 live social media broadcast of encouragement and prayer by Impact Prayer Ministry’s director, Tom Lemler.

“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”  
Hebrews 11:6 (NIV)

This week we will pray about living with faith.  Each day our prayer time will focus on an aspect of our faith and how critical it is to our relationship with Jesus . . . and to our relationship with others.  Since faith is required to please God, it is vital that we hold on to the seeds of faith which have been planted in us and nurture them so they grow into an ever-increasing active faith.  Pray that your faith would guide how you do every aspect of life.  Pray that a growing faith would increase your trust of God regardless of the circumstances which surround you.  Pray that you would be wise in living life by faith and not use faith as an excuse for foolish decisions.  Pray that your life of active faith would be centered in a relationship with God as you seek to represent Jesus well to those around you.  Pray that choosing to live by faith would make your witness for Jesus more visible to others.

“Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.”
Romans 10:17 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to increase your faith.  Pray that you would grow in faith through the hearing of God’s Word.  Pray that the people around you today would be open to hearing God’s Word so faith can grow in their life.  Pray that you would be active in communicating your faith.

“And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down.  Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, ‘Truly you are the Son of God.’”
Matthew 14:32-33 (NIV)

Our prayer emphasis this week will focus on living life with Jesus in our boat.  While we often focus on Peter getting out of the boat to walk toward Jesus, we tend to miss that Jesus not only lifted Peter from sinking but He then got in the boat with all the disciples to calm the sea.  Imagine living life with an awareness of Jesus in your boat . . . or in your car, or home, or workplace, or anywhere else.  Pray that the storms of life would be calmed by the presence of Jesus with you.  Pray that God’s Spirit in you would be the calming presence of Jesus to the people you encounter everywhere you go.  Pray that you would be actively involved in doing the things Jesus came to earth to accomplish on His way to the cross.

“Jesus said, ‘For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.’”
John 9:39 (NIV)

As you pray this week, consider some of the work Jesus did when He came to earth — work which Isaiah prophesied about and work we ought to be doing as His representatives!  Pray that your eyes would be opened fully to the work of God in your life so that you would help others see the truth of Jesus.  Pray that you would understand rightly the judgments of Jesus.  Pray that bringing Jesus into your “boat” would help you to see.
