2026: The Year of Big Prayers

As I look back over the last year and look forward to the next one, I’m reminded of how quick I am to underestimate what God can do, and how often He’s proven me wrong.

I can’t tell you how many times I saw Him do this in the past twelve months. There were times I prayed for a hope of mine to come to fruition, for a hard situation to be resolved, and for healing or a change of situation for someone in my life. In each of these, I kept trying to right-size my request and make sure I wasn’t asking too much. In theory I knew that anything was possible with God, but I regularly found myself praying for what I thought was realistic rather than what I truly hoped for (you can tell I haven’t conquered this habit yet, as this is not the first time I’ve written about this topic).

And yet, despite my doubting, in each of these situations God showed up and answered the actual desires of my heart, not the watered-down version that I gave Him.

Years ago when I was struggling a bit with my health, I thought I could only pray for healing on the small scale – God, don’t let my blood sugar get too low right now,or God, please keep me out of the hospital. I didn’t expect to get to a place where I could travel and exercise without issue, or be able to get the flu and not end up in the hospital, or be pain-free for such long stretches of time like I am now. I was praying small prayers back then, but God was answering big ones.

Plenty of times I asked God to help me find the right person – someone who would love me as Christ loves the Church, who would be a strong, kingdom-minded, spiritual leader in our home, who would be excited about joining me in what God has called me to and would be called to things that I can join him in as well. Even though I prayed for these and many more qualities in a future spouse, the temptation was always there to settle for less, because I thought I might be asking for too much. And yet, just three months from now I will get to marry the love of my life, who has been an answer to one very specific prayer after another (if you’re reading this, LJ, lova ya). I was praying big prayers, while tempted to pray smaller ones. But God was always planning on answering the big.

There were also times this year I asked God to help people in my life out of a bad – sometimes life-alteringly so – situation. In these moments, I prayed because I knew I should. But truthfully, I didn’t expect to see much, if anything, change. It seemed too difficult, too unlikely. Yet, each of those circumstances did a complete 180, thanks only to God. Once again I was praying small prayers, while God was answering big ones.

I think it’s natural to feel like we have to shrink our prayers and expectations. We’re human, and are so used to our own limitations that we forget our God is limitless. I know I have a tendency to assume that things will always stay exactly as they are; when I have one reality in front of me it’s hard to visualize any other.

It can also be hard to pray big prayers after disappointment. When we don’t get the answers we want, it feels safer to manage our expectations and not get our hopes up. When that person isn’t healed, or we lose that job, or life doesn’t look the way we wanted it to, it’s okay to feel the pain of that. God meets us in our grief just as much as He meets us in our joy. But praying smaller prayers doesn’t stop us from hurting when life is hard; it only stops us from experiencing the wonder that comes from seeing a prayer answered in supernatural specificity.

Something I need to ask myself is this: Did it seem realistic to the Israelites enslaved in Egypt that they would ever see freedom, or that Pharaoh would willingly let them go?

Did it seem realistic that God would split the sea in two, letting them walk through on dry land? Or that He would provide manna every day for forty years?

Did it seem realistic that Jesus would heal a sick woman simply by the touch of His cloak, or that He would cast out demons, or raise the dead?

Did it seem realistic that the Son of God would suffer, die, and be raised to life in order to give life to a fallen creation?

Thankfully, we don’t serve a God who is realistic. We serve a God who can’t be boxed in by our tiny expectations, who does the impossible like it’s nothing. Not only that, but we serve a God who delights in giving good gifts to His children.

So, in 2026, I’m challenging myself to pray bigger prayers.

God knows the desires of my heart anyway, so I might as well verbalize what I’m hoping for. And He is present whether I get the answers I want or not, which means I can pray without fear of disappointment, knowing that my true joy is found in Him.

I can especially pray with confidence if I’m asking for things that I know are in His will: that those around me would come to know Him, that they would be freed from sin and shame, that they would find spiritual healing and rest in their Savior. I can ask these things in faith, knowing that I’m aligned with the heart of the Father on this.

Maybe you want 2026 to be the year of praying big prayers for you, too. I’d encourage you to join me in this, and in looking ahead at the year to come with excitement and expectation.

Is this not the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, Leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.’ But Moses said to the people, ‘Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the Lord which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see them again forever.

David’s Mighty Men: Foreshadowing Faithful Believers

One of my favorite things to learn about in Scripture is the symbolism scattered throughout. There’s something about seeing a pattern repeated from the Old to the New Testament that helps me really grasp biblical concepts and that reminds me of God’s creativity in organizing the path of history the way that He has.

Recently, I spent some time learning about the lives of David and Saul through this lens. I’ll summarize that here!

As we know, Saul was the first king over Israel. God had given him that position of authority, but ultimately he squandered it due to his pride, rebelling against the Lord. Because of this, God rejected him from being king, and anointed David in his place.

However, David did not take possession of the kingdom right away. He waited until the right time, until Saul had died.

It’s important to note that as David waited, he wasn’t idle. He began gathering a group of “mighty men”, men who swore allegiance to him rather than to Saul and who would support him as he prepared to take the kingdom. And when David eventually ascended the throne, these mighty men were given positions of authority in his new kingdom.

So, now let’s take a look at what all this symbolizes.

We know that Satan, or Lucifer, was originally an angel of the Lord who had been given a level of dominion and rulership over the earth (though still under God’s sovereign rule). Satan is referred to in several verses as the temporary ruler or prince of this world (John 12:31, John 14:30, Ephesians 2:1-2, Luke 4:5-8).

But, due to his pride, he sought to exalt himself and rebelled against the Lord, resulting in his being rejected by God (Isaiah 14:12-15).

We also know that in the future, Jesus will set up His thousand-year Kingdom. But, that time has not come just yet. Following the pattern we see in the Saul/David relationship, God anoints a ruler (Jesus) who will ascend the throne after the previous one (Satan) has been done away with.

But just as in David’s story, this waiting period is not an idle one. Like David, Jesus is gathering His group of “mighty men”: believers who faithfully follow Him and swear their allegiance to Him rather than to the current and temporary ruler. And all of this is with a view to the end goal – to being rewarded with a position in His Kingdom.

Earlier this week I was reading 1 Chronicles 12, and I came across a list of these mighty men of David. What struck me about it was not just that their names were listed, but that they had qualifiers alongside them. Noted were the attributes that set them apart as worthy of being in David’s entourage. These characteristics were things like: being skilled with a shield and spear, being prepared for the task at hand, being knowledgeable and understanding of the times, and being undivided in heart and loyalty to David.

In reading this I noticed the implications for us. As believers, we are called to be skilled with weapons of spiritual warfare. We are called to be equipped for good works, prepared at any moment to give an account for the hope in us and for the second coming of our Lord. We are called to be shrewd and discerning. And we are called to be undivided in loyalty to our King, serving Him alone.

And why is this important to us? Because it’s all done with a view to being rewarded and to reigning alongside Jesus in His Kingdom (Colossians 3:23-25, Revelation 22:12, Revelation 5:10, Revelation 3:21). We must be faithful to our King, just as David’s men were faithful to him (Matthew 24:45-47, 1 Corinthians 3:12-15).

This is convicting – how often am I more preoccupied with the things of this present, broken kingdom than with the coming one? But it’s also encouraging – the Lord wants us to prove ourselves faithful to Him, and is actively at work preparing us for His Kingdom. Just as David’s men could look forward to the time when he replaced Saul as ruler and when their faithfulness would be rewarded, there’s something amazing and worthwhile for us to look forward to at the end of all of this as well!

Related Scripture

1 Chronicles 12:23-38

Now these are the numbers of the divisions equipped for war, who came to David at Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the Lord. The sons of Judah who bore shield and spear were 6,800, equipped for war. Of the sons of Simeon, mighty men of valor for war, 7,100. Of the sons of Levi 4,600. Now Jehoiada was the leader of the house of Aaron, and with him were 3,700, also Zadok, a young man mighty of valor, and of his father’s house twenty-two captains. Of the sons of Benjamin, Saul’s kinsmen, 3,000; for until now the greatest part of them had kept their allegiance to the house of Saul. Of the sons of Ephraim 20,800, mighty men of valor, famous men in their fathers’ households. Of the half-tribe of Manasseh 18,000, who were designated by name to come and make David king. Of the sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their kinsmen were at their command. Of Zebulun, there were 50,000 who went out in the army, who could draw up in battle formation with all kinds of weapons of war and helped David with an undivided heart. Of Naphtali there were 1,000 captains, and with them 37,000 with shield and spear. Of the Danites who could draw up in battle formation, there were 28,600. Of Asher there were 40,000 who went out in the army to draw up in battle formation. From the other side of the Jordan, of the Reubenites and the Gadites and of the half-tribe of Manasseh, there were 120,000 with all kinds of weapons of war for the battle. All these, being men of war who could draw up in battle formation, came to Hebron with a perfect heart to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest also of Israel were of one mind to make David king.

In the Moment

Recently I’ve noticed how strong the temptation is for me to want to rush ahead to the next season of life.

As soon as I cross one milestone I’m quick to think about my next goal, often getting impatient and considering whether or not I’m falling behind on my very arbitrary – and very linear – schedule. I try to predict how each step along the way should go, and leave very little room to enjoy watching God work out the details. Because of that, when one tiny element doesn’t go the way I decided it should, it’s easy to spiral out and decide the whole plan is derailed.

Sometimes, this what’s-next mindset comes from a lack of trust in the goodness of God’s plans and timing, or the faithfulness of His provision; it gives me a sense of control over a future that I haven’t actually submitted to Him. Other times, it actually comes from a place of excitement at what’s in store; I just want to hurry up and get there!

But I’m realizing that this impatience to get where I’m going can end up breeding discontentment in where I am.

It’s so important for me to learn to simply stay in the moment with the Lord in each season, just as He stays in the moment with me. After all, if I have some kind of vision of where I’m going, how much more so does the Lord? If I’m excited at the future plans He has for me, He is too. And if I’m feeling the desire to grow up in maturity and godly character, He wants that for me as well.

If anyone had an excuse for wanting to skip to the end, it would be the One who already knows what the end will look like.

And yet, despite His knowing exactly where I’m headed, He isn’t rushing things. He doesn’t jump ahead and drop me down wherever I’m going to end up. He is patient, walking alongside me with each step forward (and often, with a few steps backward).

I feel like there are so many examples to illustrate this in Scripture, but one that comes to mind is when Jesus was asked to heal Jairus’ daughter.

Of course, Jesus knew the end result – He was going to bring this little girl back to life. Now, the most time-efficient thing to do would have been to heal her from a distance; we know He could have done this, as we saw when He healed the centurion’s servant. But instead, He made the journey to Jairus’ house, interacted with the guests, entered the daughter’s room, and raised her from the dead. And all this time, everything He did was in Jairus’ presence.

Why would He bother with all of that, when He could have healed her in an instant? I’m sure there were a number of reasons, but what it boils down to is that while there was value in raising Jairus’ daughter back up, there must have also been value in being present with him for that stretch of time.

Maybe it was important for Him to minister to this grieving father as they walked. Maybe the time they spent together set Jairus up for a deeper relationship with Him, beyond simply receiving an answered prayer and then going about his life. Maybe there was something special about witnessing the disciples’ trusting relationship with Jesus firsthand. I don’t know what it was, but I know that the Lord does nothing without intention; if He made the decision to walk that road alongside Jairus, then I believe the result was better than if He had simply healed his daughter from afar.

All of this is to say that while the Lord sees value in the destination, it’s evident that He sees value in the journey too.

I believe that we’re meant to do the same.

When we’re in a hard or painful season and we just want out of it, we can patiently wait for the healing and sense of God-nearness that often comes most tangibly in the valley.

When we’re frustrated with our shortcomings and wish we could jump ahead to a better, more mature and well-rounded version of ourselves, we can give ourselves grace and trust the ongoing process of sanctification that the Lord is doing in us.

And when we’re excited about the future plans God has for our lives, but are having to wait on their fulfillment, we can take joy in this season and squeeze as much out of it as possible, rather than passively waiting for the next one. We can look forward to the future with hope and expectation – and begin each day right now with the same – because the God of our future is also the God of our present.

Prayer – The Answered and the Unanswered Kind

If you’re anything like me, it can be scary for you to pray really specific prayers. The thought that often goes through my head is “What if God doesn’t answer me? I don’t want to be disappointed, so I just won’t ask for this thing.”

But honestly, that’s pretty silly on my part. God wants us to ask Him for what we need, and He listens to our prayers. And I do believe that prayer makes a difference, that at specific times and in God’s wisdom He will intervene – either in our circumstances or in our hearts – based on our prayers.

So really, I shouldn’t be afraid to pray just because I might be disappointed. Instead, I should be afraid of missing out on the answers God could provide or the ways He wants to involve me in His plans, just because I was too afraid to ask. Think about the verse that says “you do not have because you do not ask”; doesn’t that indicate how important it is to just try and see what happens?

Now, there will be times when you pray and see God respond. But there will also be times when you pray and God doesn’t seem to answer, or doesn’t answer the way you want Him to. What then?

A while back I was praying for something, and I felt God nudging me, “But how will you respond if the answer is no?”

I had to really wrestle with that. If God didn’t answer me the way I wanted, how would I react? Would I lash out in anger at Him? Would I give up on prayer completely, deciding that He’s forgotten me or doesn’t care about me? Would I refuse to accept His answer and try to make it happen on my own?

If I were to respond in one of these ways, it’d be natural. But I have to remind myself that when the answer is no, it doesn’t mean that I prayed wrong, or that I’m not good enough for God to do what I want, or that He doesn’t care. The only thing it means is that the answer is no.

In Luke 11, Jesus teaches His disciples how to pray. In verses 9-10, He tells them that those who ask receive, and those who seek find, and those who knock have the door opened to them. Then right after that, He says the following:

“Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he? Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?”

I think one of the reasons Jesus says this right here is because not all of the answers we get from God are what we want. Think about Paul asking God to remove the thorn in his flesh, or even Jesus asking God to let the cup of suffering pass from Him before His crucifixion.

In those moments of disappointment, it would be easy for us to say “You said that those who ask would receive. Then why did I not get what I prayed for?” We might feel as though (to follow the analogy) we asked God for a fish or an egg, and were given a snake or a scorpion instead. And so I think it’s really perfect that Jesus says this here. He reminds us that no matter how unjust things seem to be, no matter how wronged we feel by our circumstances or by God, He is working on our behalf even still. He is providing for us and redeeming our most painful circumstances, even if it doesn’t feel like it.

One last thought – I think we can get it wrong when the answer is yes, too. We can get our desired answer from God and then begin thinking that we got it because we’re just so deserving of it. We can idolize the gift rather than the Giver. We can become entitled, thinking God owes us something.

So whenever we pray, we need to ask ourselves “What will I do, with either answer?”

If the answer is yes, we can thank God and humbly steward what He’s given us. If the answer is no, we can still worship Him for being good and for being the source of our strength to endure. And that frees us up to pray honestly and specifically for what is important to us; we can pray open-handed, knowing that no matter what answer we receive, we can trust the One who hears us.

Luke 11:1-13

“It happened that while Jesus was praying in a certain place, after He had finished, one of His disciples said to Him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray just as John also taught his disciples.’And He said to them, ‘When you pray, say:

Father, hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins,
For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation.’

Then He said to them, ‘Suppose one of you has a friend, and goes to him at midnight and says to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves;for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; and from inside he answers and says, ‘Do not bother me; the door has already been shut and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.’ I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened. Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he? Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he?If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?'”

And He has said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.’ Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.”

Jeremiah 17

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose trust is the Lord. For he will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream and will not fear when the heat comes; but its leaves will be green, and it will not be anxious in a year of drought nor cease to yield fruit. (Jeremiah 17:7-8)

The tree described in these verses, which has been planted by a stream of water, has no reason to fear when outside circumstances get difficult. Despite the drought and heat, this tree still has access to what it needs not just to survive, but to thrive. Its leaves are green and healthy, and it doesn’t stop bearing fruit.

In the same way, when we take our root in God, deriving nourishment from and relying completely on Him, we have nothing to fear. During periods of dryness and insecurity, when we’re just trying to make it through, we can still thrive. Even when growth is slow or invisible, if we place our security in God and act faithfully to Him He will certainly work in our lives, yielding fruit from our trusting obedience.

It’s important to note that the tree planted by the water does not avoid the years of heat and drought; rather, it continues to exist in a threatening environment. But because it has abundant access to water, it has no reason to wilt or to become stagnant. This is vital for us to recognize: putting our trust in God is by no means a shortcut to avoid all the pain in the world. We still live in a broken, earthly environment, and we will face hardships that threaten to overturn our peace. But, when our hope is where it should be – in the God who is our life, our nourishment, our refreshment – we have no cause for despair. The weight of our crises is nothing but a fraction of the abundant power of our God.

Seasons of drought will come, but they don’t have to shake us. I believe that God can cause us to grow in spite of, and often because of, these times of insecurity. So, we can rest assured that all we need to survive – and to thrive – is found in the hands of our God.
