"Start your day with a verse of God's word and a short prayer.
Our lives are built on a rock!'

This is a book that has brought countless Christians to their knees in prayer, a book that has turned every place and every moment a Christian spends into a closet where they can have a private conversation with God, a book that has turned a new believer who doesn't know what prayer is into a person of prayer, a book that has made them meet God every morning, 365 days a year, and start the day with God.

Pastor Kim Min-jeong, a person of prayer who leads an online prayer community and guides many Christians to a rich prayer life through the "365 Prayers with God" series.
This time, she invites readers to a 'prayer of words' that may be somewhat unfamiliar.
Prayer of the Word means standing before the Word of God without reservation, refining oneself, harboring hope, and gaining strength to live each day.

In a world where everything seems to be changing for the worse, what can we cling to for peace? Ultimately, we must rely on something unchanging.
That which is eternally unchanging is the existence of the Trinity God and the Word that God has given us.

--- p.4

Now is the time for us to hold on tighter to the eternal Word.
In a world where everything is chaotic and changeable, I hope we can hold on to the eternal things we must rely on and not lose sight of them.
Just as we are honest before the Word, our prayers should also be honest, and I hope that our prayers will be honest enough to allow us to look at ourselves like a mirror, without pretense.

*Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, and cross this Jordan, you and all this people.
Go to the land that I am giving to them, to the children of Israel (Joshua 1:2).

Great God the Father, we praise you, the Lord of time and the beginning and end of all things.
It feels like nothing has happened yet another year has begun.
In this fast-paced time, grant us new grace today as well.
The death of Moses, whom we believed in and followed so much, was a great regret, but I believe that because Moses died, a new era was opened through Joshua.
Do not stop with Moses, but let us enter the era of Joshua.
Just as God was with Moses and was with Joshua, I believe that God, who was with us last year, will be with us this year as well.
Today we dream new dreams and have new expectations.
May I live this year enjoying and spreading the Father's great love.
I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord.
amen!

*Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain (Psalm 127:1).

Thank you, Father, for giving me a beautiful day today.
In the Father, I believe in all possibilities and have hope.
Let me not depend on the Father to accomplish my plans, but let me stay awake so that the Father's plans can be accomplished in my life.
It is not that I build a house, but I need the help of the Father.
It is not something I can accomplish by doing it myself, but it requires the Lord's power.
I confess that without my father all my efforts were in vain.
Let us labor in the Lord.
May all the rewards you receive then be rewards you share with your Father.
Let the Father's gaze remain on all that must be observed.
I believe that the Lord will protect you first.
I will do my best in it.
I pray in the name of my Lord Jesus Christ.
amen!

*After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, and that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst.” (John 19:28)


Father, who created and governs heaven and earth with your words, we praise you.
Even if the whole earth shakes, the seas turn over, and everything seems to be swallowed up, I believe that the Father's word will not waver.
Please let me come to you today, relying on your unchanging words.
I believe that the entire life of Jesus Christ on this earth was to fulfill the words of the Bible.
Father, please help us to live in obedience to God's word.
Let me live my life and accomplish all that I have to do before I die.
Let not your goal be to live long, but to live doing what you have to do.
Life is like dust, but I believe that if today becomes a day that fulfills the word, it will become history.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray.
amen!
--- p.98

*Do everything with love (1 Corinthians 16:14).

Father, thank you for opening my eyes to your love every day.
Even if everyone in the world does not love me, I am not sad because God loves me more than anyone else in the world.
Please let me rejoice today, not grieve like an orphan or a widow.
I want to live out my father's love in my life.
Let love be the standard in all you do.
Let us act with a heart of mercy and love that pleases the Father.
Please don't let me be the standard of right and wrong.
Please don't let me watch over my family like a police officer.
When someone thinks of me, let me be the kind of person who will be forgiven if they come to me.
Please make me someone who will hug you when you come to me.
Let us practice love with a warm and broad heart.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray.
amen!

*He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away (Revelation 21:4).

Father God of comfort, Father who washes away the difficulties of the past, thank you.
I praise the Father who promised to wipe every tear from your eyes.
I believe that in the Lord there is no more death or sorrow.
I believe and trust that eternal victory is mine.
Even if I was sad yesterday, I believe I can smile and be happy today.
Let us reject all pessimistic thoughts and judgments.
Let us abandon our beliefs about negative and bad things.
Let us trust only in the Lord who gives us hope, love, joy and peace.
I believe and trust in the love that loves me more than myself.
I ask my father to comfort my pain and run again, gaining strength.
Instead of giving in to pity, give me courage.
I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, who died for me.
amen!

*Tell them, ‘As truly as I live,’ declares the LORD, ‘I will do to you exactly as you have spoken in my ears.’ (Numbers 14:28)

Father God, who hears me, who counts the hairs on my head, who knows my every move, and who watches over me at every moment, thank you.
I am moved by the love that my great Father has for me, who is as small as a speck of dust.
I will live carefully with my words, remembering that the Father hears not only my prayers but also my every word.
I repent for speaking negative words, resentment, and curses.
When words of unbelief and lamentation reach my father's ears, do not let them return to me.
Let us fear God, who hears everything and acts accordingly.
So keep us awake and let our language change.
May the Father who hears me bless me when I do as he hears.
May my life be blessed as my language changes.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray.
amen!
--- p.321

*For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:38-39).

Father, thank you for allowing me to start my day with your grace.
The reason I can be bold today is because of the Lord's love.
Nothing that threatens life can separate me from the love of God.
Neither death, nor life, nor any power can separate me from God.
Neither the difficult present circumstances nor the bleak outlook for the future can break that love.
I believe that God's perfect love holds me firmly.
Nothing can take me away from the arms of my Father who holds me.
thank you
thank you
Thank you for your tearful and passionate love.
Today, I run without hesitation with the power of this love.
I praise the Father who holds me in his arms and does not let me go.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray.
amen!
