Daily Blessing Prayers through Lent have been created by Rev. Dr. Cynthia Davis, who has dedicated her life to serving others. She spent 24 years in nursing as a clinician, educator, and leader in trauma, surgical, and cardiovascular care. She later supported students as a college counselor, faculty member, and admissions manager.
Following a call to ministry, Dr. Davis pastored both local United Methodist congregations and served as district superintendent. She retired in 2022 to focus on home care ministry.
Dr. Davis holds a BSN from the University of Mississippi, an MS in Counseling from the University of Memphis, and a Doctor of Ministry from United Theological Seminary, where she focused on public health in the Black Church. A sought-after speaker and award recipient, she serves on multiple boards.
She and her husband, Dr. Elvernice “Sonny” Davis, have four children and three grandchildren.
Isaiah 40:31
Isaiah 40:31
Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Gracious God,
though the journey sometimes gets weary and arduous,
sometimes where it's difficult
to place one foot in front of the other,
I am reminded of your precious promises to us.
Those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength!
Just hearing those words—
they resonate in my spirit and reverberate in my heart.
I know you will give me the strength
to go just a little bit farther.
Hallelujah!
You are my hope and my joy.
Thank you for filling my soul
with the hope of endurance
to see my way through.
I thank you today
that I'm not tired or weary yet.
I thank you
that my walk is steadfast and strong.
I feel my help coming on.
Hallelujah—
and his name is Jesus.
And we give thanks in that name.
Amen
