Rooted in Prayer: 31-Day Devotional on Abiding, Surrender, & Legacy

Welcome to Rooted in Prayer: Day 12

Do you ever notice how prayer softens your heart—turning frustration into empathy, and distance into care?

Prayer is not only about receiving—it is about releasing love.

This devotional is your invitation to embody compassion in prayer.

Today, we open our arms:
The Heart of Compassion.

📖 Scripture for Today

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” — Colossians 3:12 (NIV)

💬 Theme

Prayer is not indifference—it is compassion.

🪷 The Power of Caring

Compassion is not pity. It is love in action.

When you pray with compassion, you align your heart with God’s heart for others. Compassion moves you beyond self-focus into intercession, advocacy, and kindness. It transforms prayer from obligation into overflow.

To show compassion means to feel, to care, and to act. It is the posture of empathy, the practice of kindness, and the pathway to healing.

Prayer doesn’t begin with distance.
It begins with compassion.

🙏 Today’s Prayer

Father, clothe me with compassion.
Teach me to see others through Your eyes.
Let my prayers today release kindness and healing for generations.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

📣 A Word from the Author
