2025 Prayer Service

Blessed are They …

The 2025 Prayer Service is based on the Beatitudes, found in Matthew 5:1–12.

The Beatitudes are some of the most beloved words of Jesus. In them, Jesus highlights people in various situations of life, situations that are not always easy to endure — or even envision — as a child of God. Yet, our Lord calls the people in each condition “blessed” and assures each of them of their place in the kingdom of heaven. As you hear the precious Beatitudes from our Lord and pray for people in the various stages of life, may you indeed be blessed and encouraged in your life of faith. May your mind be drawn to the work of Christ, His life, and His death and resurrection which bless you each day until He brings you home to the kingdom of heaven forever.

Read Through the Bible in One Year

Did you start reading the Bible at the beginning of this year? Or do you feel like you missed the Bible reading boat? It is never too late to start the daily readings. The LWML Gospel Outreach Committee created a monthly reading plan to guide you. You can start with today’s reading and finish the yearly readings next year at this time. Or you can start the daily readings from the beginning. God’s Word speaks to us each and every day. Many LWML women have accepted the challenge to read through the Bible in one year. If the Holy Spirit is nudging you to be in His Word, please join us.

The History of Mustard Seed Devotionals

The seed of the mustard plant is among the smallest of seeds, yet from this small seed grows a large ... bush. Jesus used the analogy of a mustard seed to show how something small and seemingly inconsequential can have a powerful impact. In 1971 the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (LWML) developed a new series
