SCRIPTURE REFERENCE
Trying to build a prayer life can be difficult—whether you don’t know how to pray or you don’t feel like praying. So we’re here to help you connect with God with simple prayers for the everyday.
Relaxing In the Shower
There’s something sacred about a hot shower after a long, hard day. The warmth melts the tension in your muscles and the water washes all the dirt, sweat, and stress away. For a few quiet minutes, the world slows down.
Or, maybe you’re more of a morning-shower person, letting the hot water reset your system and prepare your body and mind for the day to come. It might just be a hurried five minutes in the bathroom with the door shut and people who need you on the other side of the door, or a luxurious 20 minutes lasting until the water begins to run cold.
Whatever your situation, hot showers are a small, everyday kind of grace—something that seems simple, but often feels deeply restorative.
And sometimes, these moments of physical relief can also become moments of spiritual connection. Just like the steam rises, we can lift up our prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings. As the water washes over us, we can be reminded of God’s gentle mercy—renewing us, body and soul.
He refreshes weary hearts, tends to tired bodies, and reminds us that we are held, seen, and loved. Every drop of water is a reminder of his cleansing grace and constant presence.
So, as you step into the steam, here’s a scripture and a prayer to invite God into the moment.
“I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean” (Ezekiel 36:25).
A Prayer for a Hot Shower
Living Water, who washes away burdens and refreshes weary souls, thank you for this simple gift of warmth and cleansing. As the water runs over me, renew me inside and out. Wash away my worries, soften my heart, and send me out clean, comforted, and ready to serve. Amen.
