Theme The spaces in between the busy times allow us to find rest and restoration. It can be uncomfortable when we are not sure what is going to happen next, but you expect that something new is on the horizon! Enter rest with the Lord today as you wait in anticipation Christ's return!
Scriptures Mark 6:31-32 – “And he said to them, 'Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.' For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. And they went away in the boat to a desolate place by themselves."

More from Desert Grace: Contemplative Healing Prayers
In this powerful guided prayer episode, we take up our armor through submitting our whole selves to the authority, and presence of God. Together, we pray for wisdom, discernment, peace of mind, emotional healing, spiritual covering, and renewed courage to stand firm in our faith in Jesus Christ. This episode is an invitation to surrender fear, break agreement with lies, and rest in the truth of who God says you are. Take a deep breath, quiet your heart, and allow yourself to connect with Jesus, our refuge and hop in time of battle.
Theme It is Easter morning, and He has risen! Today, we celebrate not only the resurrection of Jesus but also our identity in Him. Through Christ’s victory over sin and death, we are transformed—no longer defined by our past but marked by His righteousness, grace, and new life. Our identity is now hidden securely with Christ, and our hearts are set on heavenly realities. Let's embrace our newness in Him, fully alive, and deeply anchored in His resurrection power.
Theme I could imagine how crushing it was for Jesus’ disciples and family to watch him die. In that moment it looked like darkness won and they didn’t know that resurrection was on the other side of death. Jesus gave his disciples a promise and though they couldn’t understand or see how it could be possible, it didn’t make it any less true. Many of you are battling spiritual warfare and it looks like darkness is winning, but spiritual warfare does not void out the promises God has made to you. Those promises were made out of love, and love believes all things and hopes all things. Today’s meditation is about focusing on God’s promises when things look bleak.
Theme Jesus’ sacrifice invites us to lay down our own lives in service to God and others. As we identify with His ultimate sacrifice, we are called to live sacrificially.
Theme Humility is not merely thinking less about ourselves, but opening to Jesus to be fully vulnerable at the risk of our reputation. Jesus showed ultimate humility by giving up His divine nature to become human like us. In today’s prayer practice, let’s examine how we can identify with Christ’s humility in our own lives.
