Yesterday and tomorrow

As we look back on the wondrous things that we have experienced in the year 2016, we remember that we were never alone. When we couldn't see a way, He brought us out.  When it seemed that our enemies would win, they were suddenly defeated. We have seen victory,  healing, growth and positive change. Our relationships have been healed and we have been able to move through darkness into the marvelous light. We thank you Lord for keeping us and for answering our prayers. May 2017 find us tucked safely in the palm of the hand of God and may we rise above any stumbling blocks of defeat and tricks of the enemy.  We thank you Lord that no matter what goes on around us.  WE RISE. In Jesus name we pray. Amen

Never turn your head oh God

Blessings and honor, glory and power be unto you oh great and glorious God! You are awesome in all your ways. You have seen  beyond the river and to the end of every sea. You already know all of our tomorrows and you see to the end of our years.  You've already set things in motion to bless and protect us. We have nothing to fear because You hold us in your hands.  We thank you oh God for all that you do. We thank you that we are not alone. We thank you that your love for us cannot be swayed.  We thank you that you do not turn your head. We will ever sing your praise oh Lord our God because you alone are worthy. In Jesus name we give our praise. Amen.

Glorious morning

Father we praise you for this glorious morning.  We thank you for the sunshine and for the breeze.  We thank you for the breath that we were able to draw into our lungs when we awoke. We give you glory that we were able to lay our heads on a pillow inside a home that was warm and dry. We know that our family surrounds us because You allow it. Help us Oh God to be worthy of your blessings.  Give us grace for the day and health to continue to  serve you.  This we ask in Jesus name. Amen

A Miraculous day

Oh Heavenly Father may we rise up this morning with new hope and new courage.  May we rise up with faith made new! Oh Lord cause us to know that we are not alone and that the prayers of the saints rise up to encourage us and to wrap us in your Love as we begin our day. May we know the power of the resurrection and may we walk as never before in the realm of the miraculous today in the name of Jesus. Amen

Blessings for you

Heavenly Father, we thank you that according to your word, blessings are heading our way. We thank you that you are watching over your word to see that it is performed. According to Your Word we are "fearfully and wonderfully made" by You. You created us for blessing.  No maker designs and brings forth a creation for harm.  Today we stand on your words, from Jeremiah 29:11 " I know the plans I have for you. plans for blessing and not a curse, plans for hope and for a future. " May we be ready for the blessings that are coming our way. We stand in great anticipation of the blessings you have for us.  Thank you Lord. May your favor continually shine on your children as we yield to Your will. In Jesus name we pray. Amen 😊 🙏 🙌 💒

Prayer for communities

Lord, help us to keep others in mind as we go to work today. Help us to pray for the homes, families, and neighborhoods as we go through them in our car, on the bus, or on the train.  As our answered prayers build and change their neighborhoods for the better, may our neighborhoods improve, too.  Help all of the members of their community begin to see each other as you see them. Help them to respect and care for one another.  Help us all to provide for each other's needs as we are able.  We all make up this world community by community, so  help us to be examples of light and selflessness in Jesus name we pray. Amen 😊 🙏 🙌 💒

Your word promises me

     Father, Your word says that woman was made for man 1Corinthians 11:9.  We thank you that it means that every single woman was made for a man.  Please bring together the man and the woman that were made to be together.  Lord, You said that a man would leave his mother and father and cling to his wife.  Your word says that "A man who finds a wife finds a good thing".  Please send wives to your men according to your word.
     I thank you that you are teaching the women what it means to respect their husbands to be.  A man "sits in the gates".  This means that they sit in a place of honor and respect.  God built men such that they need respect to fuel their "life tanks".  A man who is respected by his family is fueled to go out and conquer the world for them.  We thank you that You are teaching the men what it means to love a wife the way Christ loved the church.  Love is almost automatic for women, so you didn't have to tell women to love.  A woman is energized and made alive by the love of a good man.  You told men to love, because they sometimes get busy and forget that love fuels the 'life tank' of a woman.  A woman who feels loved by a Godly man will build a good home for her family and will constantly think about ways to bring smiles to all their faces and warmth to their hearts.  We thank you Lord for your love, your faithfulness, for the way you made us and for the instructions on life that you give us.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Prayer for spouses, singles, and spouses to be

Lord, you taught us that husbands should love their wives the way that you loved the church, remembering that you gave your life for the church.  You have also taught us that wives should respect their husbands.  When a man is respected by his lady he will go to any length to keep that respect. Those two things are like premium gasoline for a car.  They are the best quality fuel that we can give to our spouses and it enables them to be at their best. Lord, your word also says, “Woman was made for man.” This is because man needs woman. Your word in Genesis says, “It is not good for man to be alone”.  Since your word is quick and alive, we stand on it for all the saints who are currently single and who are waiting for their spouse, and for those who are married. You have also said that You were “always at work to make us both willing and able to do that which you have called us to do”.  For this reason we thank you for enabling us to be the best spouses and potential spouses that we can be in You.  Father, you have told us what love is and so we ask that you would help us to recognize and to be love.  We know that loves helps to hold relationships together. Help us to be patient and kind.  Keep us from envy and boasting. Please don’t allow us to be arrogant or rude or self absorbed.  Help us not to be irritable or resentful and please keep us from rejoicing in things that are wrong.  You have reminded us that love never fails, and that means it always forgives.  Help us to be forgiving just as you are oh God. 

  Lord, please bless our relationships and keep the enemy of the people of God from destroying what you have joined together.  Thank you Father, in Jesus name. Amen.

Greater is He who is in you...

"Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. "  1 John 4:4
We often feel compelled to eat, say, or do something that isn't going to be good for us in the end.  The bible says,"resist the devil and he will run from you. " For those of you who have trouble with the knowledge that demons exist, Jesus spoke more about them than anyone snd he "isn't a man that he should lie". He warned us that the devil and his cohorts exist to build the kingdom of hell and to tear down the people of God.  He was kicked out of heaven for attempting a coupe de tat. Here's a little something to chew on.  The man from Gaderenes, was called legion because of the 2000 demons who lived in and controlled him. He broke chains that people used to bind him, and he scratched and tore himself.  He was frightful,  wild, and uncontrollable, yet when Jesus came to his area, the human in him ran out to be saved.  The demons couldn't keep the man from running to Jesus for help. They cried out in fear when the man went to Jesus and they were cast out of him.  The God in you is greater than the enemy. Resist the words, thoughts, and action s that you feel tempted to do. (Especially eating too much food). The devil will run from you. THE POWER IN YOU IS GREATER.  Stick with HIM 💒 and you will win. 😈🔦😱🏃💒🙌🙏☝💪🏆

A man who finds a wife finds a good thing

So this prayer has been on my heart for two weeks.   If it's for you, please receive it from the Father. If it's not for you, pray and stand in the gap for a friend or family member.
Heavenly Father, your word says that woman was made for man.  You said that a man who finds a wife finds a good thing. Lord, you told us that for this reason shall a man leave his mother and father and cling only to his wife. We stand on your Word today oh, Lord. For all the single women, you said that they were made for a man. Lird, please send the man for whom they were made.  Father, you said a man who finds a wife finds a good thing.  Lord , please help the single men look in the right places and FIND a wife. In Jesus name we pray. Amen 😊

Grateful

Heavenly Father, please help us to be grateful for what we have, and for where we are in life. Please cause us to find favor at work, at school, or in whatever situation we find ourselves.  Help us to rejoice in you no matter what is going on around us because we know that praise breaks down walls and conquers enemies.  Help us to be a blessing to others, knowing that our blessing is on its way.  Our lives are full and our futures are secure because of You, oh God. For this and for all things we give thanks. In Jesus name we pray. Amen 😊 🙏 🙌 ❤

prayer for spouses and 'spouses to be'

Lord, you taught us that husbands should love their wives the way that you loved the church, remembering that you gave your life for the church.  You have also taught us that wives should respect their husbands.  When a man is respected by his lady he will go to any length to keep that respect. Those two things are like premium gasoline for a car.  They are the best quality fuel that we can give to our spouses and it enables them to be at their best. Lord, your word also says, “Woman was made for man.” This is because man needs woman. Your word in Genesis says, “It is not good for man to be alone”.  Since your word is quick and alive, we stand on it for all the saints who are currently single and who are waiting for their spouse, and for those who are married. You have also said that You were “always at work to make us both willing and able to do that which you have called us to do”.  For this reason we thank you for enabling us to be the best spouses and potential spouses that we can be in You.  Father, you have told us what love is and so we ask that you would help us to recognize and to be love.  We know that loves helps to hold relationships together. Help us to be patient and kind.  Keep us from envy and boasting. Please don’t allow us to be arrogant or rude or self absorbed.  Help us not to be irritable or resentful and please keep us from rejoicing in things that are wrong.  You have reminded us that love never fails, and that means it always forgives.  Help us to be forgiving just as you are oh God. 

  Lord, please bless our relationships and keep the enemy of the people of God from destroying what you have joined together.  Thank you Father, in Jesus name. Amen.

Make us a reflection of You

Heavenly Father, please help us to make a difference this week. Give us the courage to speak truth to power.  Give us the compassion to stop and help someone in need. Give us the mercy to forgive harsh words that are directed at us.  Give us the will to walk our dreams into reality instead of just talking about them because if you have given us those dreams then they are already a reality in heaven.  Help us to go out of our way to do what we can for others.  Help us not only to walk away from gossip, but to denounce the practice. Make us people who are a reflection of You so that if we are the only bible that someone reads, they will know who you are. In Jesus name we pray. Amen 😊 🙏 💒

You're all we can count on

***you're all we can count on ***
Lord, everything is a little crazy down here, but I know it's nothing new for you.  Children are killing children,  rich people are robbing the middle class to give to the super rich, it used to be that young people had the fear of God with older people,  but now older people are afraid to death of young people.  Music and television teach death and violence, and rebellion is everywhere.  We can't count on the banker, the lawyer, the pharmacist or the police.  We can only count on you.  You are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.  Your yes is yes, and your no is no. We can always count on you. You dont make promises that you can't keep, and you're not a man that you should lie.  You never leave us nor forsake us, and you've always got our backs. We know that if your eye is on the sparrow,  surely you're watching over us. You forgive and forget, you turn everything out for good for us. The world is going crazy Lord, but we can always count on you.  Thank you.😊 🙌☝💒🙏😍

Thank you

Heavenly Father, 

     We thank you for the morning and all of the opportunities that it brings.  We thank you for the chance to make relationships stronger today than yesterday,  and to solidify friendships.  Thank you Lord that you make forgiveness and restoration possible so that any problems that have arisen in our relationships can be healed. May we forgive and be forgiven today so that we can have a brand new start as we bounce out from under the heavy blanket of unforgiveness.  We thank you for the opportunity to be creative and to use our creative nature to enhance the lives of others. We thank you for the opportunity to lift the spirits and hopes of someone who is feeling as though they can't rise from despair. We thank you for the opportunity to put our health on a more positive road and to improve our eating habits today.  We are thankful today for everything, and we are satisfied with our blessings; even the ones we don't appreciated today.  We know that you are the center of everything and that you hold our lives in your hands. Thank you Lord for this.  Help us to be worthy in Jesus name we pray. Amen. 

Happy where you are

Dear Lord, help us to be satisfied with what we have and where we are. Help us to see the blessings that exist in our lives right now.  Before our eyes go wandering and our desires become unquenchable help us to see how far we've come from where we started out. Even if we've had several stops and several starts, even if we've had to make several redo's,  we're thankful for the opportunity to be able to start over again. Each time we've learned something new so we start out again wiser and more competent. Help us to know that as we are thankful for what we have and where we are, our positive behavior changes everything around us.
In 2 Chronicles the Lord told his prophet to send the praisers out ahead of the army.  Spiritual battles look like that. Give thanks for what you have and for where you are. That sets wheels in motion. Your victory,  your request, your hopes and dreams are on their way. In Jesus name.

The earth is the Lord's

I'm so glad the 🌎 is in YOUR 👐 Lord. Mankind has made a mess of it, but you cause all things to work together for the good of those who love You and  who are called according to Your good purpose.
🙏, children 🙏. Pray like our tomorrow depends on it.
Lord if there is even one who loves you and worships you in spirit and in truth, then please spare our country. We are here, Lord, on our knees.
Please bless our families. Tell us what to do and we will do it because we trust you.  Jesus, you are Lord of all. Amen

Be blessed

In the name of Jesus I pray that joy will fill you from the top of your head to the souls of your feet. I claim your deliverance from those who seek to cause you to stumble.  I pray that your faith will rise up inside you like the powerful surge of water in the most beautiful fountain  in an outdoor plaza.  I pray that your body will be healthy and strong.  I ask in Jesus name that you will find favor with those who sit above you, those who work beside you, and those who look up to where you stand. May you walk together with those who walk in peace and may your heart search for grace and mercy. I pray that you find the desires of your heart nestled securely in the palm of the hand of God and that your kindness and generosity would be used to bless those who have a great need, but no voice to ask for help. May you rise with the morning and may your💒 day be glorious.  In Jesus name. Amen 😊 🙏 🙌 ❤

We believe and declare

This morning we believe and declare that as children of the most high God our children shall be free of deadly diseases as long as they serve the Lord our God. We will have wisdom and knowledge to help others. We will become inventors, authors, healers of disease and creators of tools that are helpful to mankind as God gives them to us. We believe and declare that we will find favor at work as children of the most high God.  We will have victory over our enemies. We will be successful business owners, and we will use our knowledge to lift up other children of God. We will pass our God given wisdom to our future generations.  We declare in Jesus name that all stumbling blocks which are not placed by God will be removed. We will bless  you oh Lord at all times and your praise will continually be in our mouths.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen

Everything we need

Heavenly Father, you are Lord of everything. You have created everything with peace and with balance. The trees gladly take in our carbon dioxide and generously share the oxygen that they make. The sun gives us light and warmth without a thought.  The earth provides water for us to use. You, oh God, have provided us with everything we need. For this we give you thanks and praise.  Please help us to be the people we were created  to be. In Jesus name. Amen 😊 🙏 🙌

Public schools in trouble

So I'm in Massachusetts where I watched some Satan worshippers petition the public schools in a few states to allow them to sponsor a Satan After School" program. They are contending that if students can have Youth For Christ  meetings,  they should be able to offer a choice.  Are these the end times?  Pray children, PRAY.  Even if your children don't go to public schools, or if they are older and have graduated,  PRAY.  People have discovered that if you want to change a society you can do it easily by introducing it to children in schools. They have already taken prayer out of schools.  Don't allow them to put satan in.

Joy and hope

"I pray for you that God who gives hope will bless you with complete joy and peace because of your faith and through that faith, may the power of the Holy Spirit fill you with hope."  Romans 15:13
Faith is a choice, that when watered brings forth bouquets of hope with a bountiful fragrance that will sustain you through all your joys, trials and tribulations.

Pray for our country

Heavenly Father, we praise you and lift you up.  We give you all the glory. We thank you for your presence in our lives. We thank you for your grace and mercy. Father we ask that you would look upon your people with favor.  We trust in you oh Lord our God. Now please remember us as we elect a president in this country. We know that disaster can come, but not harm us, however we pray for the entire country. We know that a thousand can fall at our left side and ten thousand can fall on our right, but nothing can harm us.  Psalm 91 tells us that. As we look to you for hope, please guide us and help us so that we will have a leader of your choosing who will bless us and not harm us. Please keep our children under your wing and our hearts in your hand. May our words bring peace and our actions lift you up in Jesus name we pray. Amen 😊 🙏 🙌 🙇

If -then for the answer to your prayers

Heavenly Father, we thank you that you love us so much. Thank you that you acknowledge our weaknesses and that you show us a way to get out of the messes that we make. Thank you for forgiving us and for giving us instructions.
If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. " Thank you.😊 now father, please help us to humble ourselves, to pray in earnest, to seek your face, and to turn from our wicked ways so that you will hear our prayers, forgive our sins and solve our problems. In Jesus name we pray. Amen 😊 🙏 🙌 🙇

Jehovah Shalom

Jehovah Shalom- The Lord who is our peace.
John 14:27 says, "Peace  I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."  The peace of God removes stress and fear.   As we move through our day we must remember that God is our Jehovah Shalom by choice. The scriptures tell us about an evening when the disciples were in a boat and a storm was coming, scripture tells us that they panicked and cried out for Jesus who was in the boat. Jesus spoke to the storm and made it calm down. He changed its natural state. He doesn't want us to worry, stress  or be afraid. The storms of life will come, but Jesus is in the midst of them with you.  Call on Jehovah Shalom. He will speak to the source of your problem and make it change its troublesome nature.  He us Jehovah Shalom - The God who does not just give us, but who IS, has become, our peace. Shalom.

Change isn't easy, but it is necessary

Shadrack, Meshack, and Abednego were thrown into a fiery furnace because they refused to turn their backs on God. The Lord honored their faithfulness by joining them in the fire.  Notice He didn't deliver them FROM the fire, He delivered them THROUGH the fire.  It was because of the fire that the king believed.
It was because of the fire that the people of all his lands believed.
It was because of the fire that change came to the nation,
And it was because of the fire that the young men received a promotion.   You may not be delivered FROM your fire, but YOU WILL BE DELIVERED THROUGH THE FIRE.  Your own personal struggle could be used to change a nation, a culture, or a situation. People are watching to see how you handle your life. Rejoice in your fire and thank God for the change that is coming. You are not alone.
P.S. Do you think these 9 years were easy for Barack Obama? He went through the fire and change did come to America.  If God can use him, then God can use you. Change isn't easy, but it is necessary.

One Minute Longer

Heavenly Father we thank you for your presence in our lives. We thank you for your grace and mercy. We thank you for the many blessings that you have placed in our lives.  Father, we ask that you would give us the strength and courage to hold on one minute longer when things in our lives are tough.  When we finally let go of our strength may we hold on to yours. You have said that in our weakness You are made strong.  We bless you Lord for that one-more - minute.  Thank you for helping us to hold on.  We know that you have overcome the world and that gives us peace.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen 😊 🙏 💒

It's for your good

Heavenly Father, we give you thanks and praise for all that you do.  We thank you that when people try to control us with their words and their position that You just use their behavior to dig a foundation for our blessings. We thank You that there is nothing that can take our blessings away from us and that no one can hinder Your plans for our lives. Thank you for your love. In Jesus name. Amen

The question

Is there anything too hard for the Lord? Believe and stand in faith.

Help us to walk in peace

Heavenly Father please help us to stand strong even when the storms of life blow through our lives. Help us to walk  with confidence on the path that you have set up for us. Help us to know peace.  Help us Lord to recognize and to follow your voice as we go through the wilderness.  We are yours oh God. When we try to take over and we choose the wrong way, please "Jesus  take the wheel ".  Protect us from the enemy and from ourselves. May your love for us be like honey from a bee hive. May it nurture us like the rain nurtures the lush vegetation of the tropics. As we lift up our hands and our hearts receive our praises and our worship. We are yours. Teach us to be the people you created us to be. In Jesus name we pray. Amen 😊 🙏 🙌 ❤

Choices

Choices

Lord we worship you with all of our hearts.  Your presence is what we long for.  Help us so that we don’t get so busy in our day that we forget to whisper your name.  Let us know that you are with us at all times and that we are never alone.  Help us so that we have quiet times that allow you to enter our spirits and our minds like a gentle wind and then please stand strong within our souls like a rock.  Remind us that in those times when we have to make decisions, we can turn to you and wait for an answer.  We are sure to get the right one when we seek your wisdom.  Choices are difficult when we don’t know the outcome.  We are so concerned about making the right choices and not making mistakes, that we forget sometimes that You have the answers.  You have seen our lives from before the beginning to after the end.  You, oh God have given us minds to think, hearts to feel, and a spirit to reach out to you.  Help us so that our mind and our body, our emotions and our desires move out of the way and flood our minds with your wisdom so that the choices we make today will benefit us  and will result in receiving your righteousness and Your glory.  This we ask in Jesus name.  Amen.

Super family summer

Father, as we come closer to the summer and super family time, we want to lift up our families to you.  This summer may we take the time to really look at each other.  Help us to see the crinkle under our eyes when we smile, the way our faces change when we laugh, the way our eyes light up when family walks into the room.  Show us the difference in our body language so we can see the happiness, sadness or worry in the way we walk, sit, or stand so that we can respond with actions that reflect your love.  Help us to pay attention to the impact that words have on our loved ones.  Help us to know our friends and family members the same way that you do, so that we don't take each other for granted. May we grow closer, love more, forgive completely, speak kindly and spend more time than money on each other. This summer, for super family time, may we become super family members to everyone.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen 😊 👪

Builders of societies

Father, we want to lift up our men to you in the name of Jesus. Lord,  we ask that you would move on them and cause them to rise up and be leaders, mentors, healers of our community, and fathers to the fatherless.  Help them to say the right things and to be able to do the right things to bring the boys and the young men of our communities to a place where they will have morals and standards that are positive and uplifting.   Help our men teach them to become productive and not destructive, helpful and not neglectful, hard working and not slothful, tender hearted and not cold hearted.  Please help our men so that they can teach young men to build families, communities, and societies which will bring forth loving  caring, prosperous, strong, positive young people whose desire it is to follow You.  This will change our world and the direction of our future.  We know that it can be done with your help.  Children grow well when they are surrounded with love.  Great societies come from strong families.  Strong families are built on faith,  hope, and love.   We thank you for the change that is coming, in Jesus name we pray. Amen

A prayer for the children

Father, this morning we want to lift up the children of the world to you.  So many of them are suffering in so many ways.  They are homeless or hungry,  they are alone with no family, some have family and are still alone.  Some exist in brutal environments, and some are victims of brutality.  Some children are confused and teased and they endure torment every day.  Some babies hear vile language and see horrible behavior from the adults who care for them, so they never truly get to be children.  Some babies live in constant fear from the day that they are born.  While we hold our children and grandchildren so dearly, and give them far too many things just to see them smile; while we cheer their every triumph and supply their every need, let us bow our heads in prayer, and then lift our hands, to do  anything  we can for the children of this world who don't live like ours and who aren't loved like ours. In Jesus name we pray. Amen 👼

Our leader must be chosen by You

Father, the most important position of any group is the leader.   The bible notes how carefully you selected leaders in the past.  Today we ask that you would choose a leader for the USA who would help and not hurt us.  One who would be just and fair.  One who would consider the words of the Constitution that state, "All men are created equal,  and are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights...." May our leader be chosen this November by You.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen 😊 🙏 💒

Masters and not slaves

Heavenly Father, we want to become good stewards of all that you give us.  Help us to be faithful over our little so that you will trust us to be faithful over much.  This morning we come before you asking that we be able to pull ourselves completely,  totally, 100% out of debt.  We know it is possible because all things are possible with You.  Help us to pay off our automobiles, our homes, our credit, and any other thing that has us bound.  You have said that the economy will tighten and then adjust, so Help us to be prepared.  Teach us to be masters and not slaves of our money.   Show us the financial traps that have been set for us  by banks and big corporations so that we won't fall into them.  Cause us to be as wise as foxes,yet still as gentle as lambs.  We are thankful for Your love and guidance.  It is new every morning. Please prosper our wisdom and then help us to teach those who will learn, in Jesus name we pray. Amen 😊 🙏 💒

Tasha Cobbs - For Your Glory

Joy in our pockets

Father we thank you today that we go forward with peace and that we carry joy in with us in the palm of our hands.  Help us Oh God to see with your eyes and to hear with your ears so that our love, compassion, and insight will reveal your presence in our lives.  Give us wisdom and knowledge so that we can walk in the path that you have set up for us.   We thank you for your grace and mercy which keeps us from being stuck in sorrow and regret.  We are yours, Lord, heart, mind and soul.  May we live a life that is pleasing to You. In Jesus name we pray. Amen

Fix Me Jesus

Heavenly Father, Your Word tells us that you are "always at work to make us both willing and able to do that which you have called us to do." Please make us into the people you want us to be so that we can fulfill our purpose and our destiny.   We are here for a reason that is greater than any we could fathom.  Please don't let us fall short of Your glory. In Jesus name we pray. Amen

Trust in the Lord

I will trust in the name of the Lord!  Father we have no one but you to trust in.  Our faith waivers at times because we are bombarded with the things of the world, but we always return to you.  You are our strength and comfort.  You whisper to us in the still of the night.  In you, the waters of peace  run deep.  In you, hope rises like the sun.  It is new every morning.  As we put ourselves to bed at night, let us also put our fears and our discontentments to bed.  When we rise in the morning, may our fears and discontent be gone forever.  Lord please make this morning new. Make it bright like the sun.  Help us to shine so that we share your glory with only a look.  Our sorrows and frustration faded with the night.
We thank you for being the God of Hope.  Please fill us as we come to your well to drink of hope and of joy, of peace and of security, of strength and of prosperity.
Thank you for your presence in our lives  today Lord, in Jesus name we pray. Amen

Filter

A screen in a window or door filters out things that aren't good for the environment.  The cool breeze and sunshine are allowed inside and they are refreshing and they brighten the environment.
As you go through your day, allow God to be your screen filter.  Speak with confidence and with Godly love.  Refuse negative influences.  Let those aggravation that are coming at you hit your screen like a fly who hits the window screen and bounces off.  The fly just can't get in.  Thank you Lord that you are our screen.  Please keep out all those things that are trying to get into our lives and ruin our day.  Be the filter for our thoughts and for our words so that we keep our spiritual environment filled with the sweet aroma of peace and joy. In Jesus name we pray. Amen

Holy

In the book of Jeremiah Your word tells us " Behold, I will bring you health and healing; I will heal you and reveal to you the abundance of peace and truth."
Lord we thank you for your Word.  It brings hope,  light, life and strength.  Today we pray that all our friends and family members as well as ourselves would receive your blessed healing and be completely healed.  May we all walk in peace and joy today and slways, in Jesus name we pray. Amen

Safety

Father, your word says that wherever two or more agree in touching, it shall be done.  We all ask together that you would help us to keep our finances in good order,
Keep predators away from our families, especially our children and elders,
Help us to be in good health,
Help our jobs to be stable.
We ask for promotions and pay increases,
Strength and courage to face trials with a path to victory,
And we thank you that no weapon formed against us shall prosper and every word raised against you shall fall.
We pray and agree, father that your promises are true and your will be done, in Jesus name we pray. Amen 😊 🙏 💒

In Jesus name we pray. Amen 😊 🙏 💒 😇

To your glory

Blessings and honor, glory and power be unto you oh great and glorious God.  You who created the mountains and the ocean, the creatures on land and in the sea; You are the mighty one who causes the sun to shine in the morning  and the moon to glow at night.  Everything you have created has an order an a purpose.   Everything You created glorifies Your holy name.  The birds sing, the trees bow down, the squirrels lift up their heads to the sky.  All of your creation gives you praise!  May we not be left out O God.  We sing your praise also!  We magnify your name! We remember your mercy and  your goodness toward us.  We give thanks at all times. We know that every breath we take is because of you. We know that there are answers to all our problems because of You.  We know that there is a tomorrow because of You.  We know that you both hear and answer our prayers.   Thank you Lord. It is incredible to us that you who are the creator of the universe take the time to love and care for us.  We give you praise in Jesus name. Amen 😊 🙏 💒

Sing with Your eyes

Lord give us eyes to see as you see.  Help us to see beauty in things that are not beautiful.   Help us to see value in those who are without honor.  Help us to find hope in hopeless situations.  Give us patience to wait when we really don't want to.  Help us to see a way to give mercy when anger rises up within us.  Help us to see a way to let go when we want so badly to hold on to negative things in our lives.  Help us to see need, and a way to fill it.  Help us to place love on the heads of the homeless.   Bless us with your eyes Lord so that we can walk the earth in peace.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen 😊 🙏 💒

Forgive

  Heavenly Father please forgive us for any wrongs we have committed before you in thought, word, or in deed.  Lord, you are "merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in mercy."                                      Teach us Lord to forgive those who have committed wrongs against us. 
Help us to walk away from our anger at being treated unjustly so that in our forgiving, we can be made free. 
Remind us Lord that a clean heart is a light heart , and a light heart can be touched by God.  May our desire be only for you Oh Lord. May our thoughts be made pure and clean.  May forgiveness flow freely from our lips, our minds, and our hearts so that we may be forgiven, and then be able to spend eternity with you.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen 😊 🙏 💒

Removing stumbling blocks

**Stumbling blocks**
Father we thank you that you have laid out a path for every one of us.  You know where we should plant each foot, how we should make each move, and when we should take each breath.  You know who we will meet and what we should say to them.  You know the places where we will work and you know when we will leave that place.  You have placed a way out if we should fall into the enemy's snares and you have a wheelbarrow to haul away stumbling blocks.   Lord please remove the people who don't belong on our paths, or in our lives. Please remove the traps and the stumbling blocks which were set to cause us to fall.  Open our eyes so that we can see the stumbling blocks, and open our ears so that we can hear you when you give us directions.   Strengthen our hearts so that we will have the faith to follow you into fire knowing that we won't get burned.  Help us to do what you say and to avoid the stumbling blocks that are in the way of our success and of our obedience to you. In Jesus name we pray. Amen

Hallelujah! Rejoice!

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord!

We bring our joy and our praise before you!

You are so worthy

Hallelujah!! Holy, Holy, Holy Lord!

You turn our situations around to give yourself glory and to give us relief.

You are our victory!

Holy are you Lord God almighty!

Even before we express our need, you are filling it

Our trust is in you Oh God!

You make impossible things possible

You heal the sick and deliver those captured by sin

Man is small, but you count us precious

We are weak, but you give us strength

We lack understanding, but you are all wise

Your concern and your love are for us.  You love us as a mother and a father looking at their newborn baby.  So precious do you hold us that you sent Jesus to cover our sins like a blanket. 

You reach down to pick us up when we fall.

You don’t throw our mistakes in our faces

Your love is all encompassing. 

We rejoice at the mention of your name.

Hallelujah!!  You are so holy.  Worthy are you in all the earth and all the heaven.

Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,

Heaven and earth are full of your glory. 

We sing hallelujah!
