pray for faith in everyday life – let us find ways to express our faith openly, encouraging others to take notice of the grace and hope that transforms lives.

Message: In a world that often prioritizes material goods, it can be refreshing to see creativity that intertwines faith with daily life. The image of the cross made from soda cases suggests that even in the mundane places like a grocery store, the presence of Jesus can be acknowledged and celebrated. It reminds us that our faith does not need to be confined to church buildings; it can shine brightly wherever we are. The joy of salvation is worth celebrating, and the transformation of individuals, such as a store manager coming to faith, is a powerful testament to God’s work in all aspects of our lives. Let this image inspire us to look for and cultivate the divine in everyday situations. As we move about the rhythm of life, let us find ways to express our faith openly, encouraging others to take notice of the grace and hope that transforms lives. Just as the cases are stacked to form a cross, our experiences and faith can intertwine to create a message of love and redemption in a broken world. Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the incredible gift of salvation that You have so graciously bestowed upon us. In moments like these, where ordinary life meets the extraordinary truth of Your love, we recognize Your hand at work. We lift up our daily activities to You, asking that every interaction, every transaction, and every encounter becomes an opportunity to shine Your light. Lord, we pray for those who may feel distant from You. We ask that they encounter Your love in their everyday experiences, just as we see the image of the cross formed by soda cases. May it serve as a reminder that Your presence is everywhere and that no place is too mundane for Your grace to touch. We pray for individuals like the store manager, that they may have life-changing encounters with You. Inspire them to embrace their faith and demonstrate it boldly in their workplaces and communities. Help us, Lord, to be channels of Your love. May we speak of Your goodness to our friends, family, and even strangers we meet. Teach us to reflect Your compassion in our actions and in our words. When we face challenges or encounters that test our faith, may we remember that our strength lies in You. Help us to seek opportunities to encourage others and share the hope we have in Jesus Christ. As we go about our days, remind us that our mission is to carry Your message to every corner of our lives. Strengthen our resolve to be bold in our faith and unafraid to share it with others. May our lives stand as a living testament to Your transformative power, leading many to come to know You as their Lord and Savior. We ask all these things in the name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
