FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO RUIN YOUR DAY?
(I've shared this one before, but worth a repeat, have a great day!!!)
What does it take to ruin your day? Traffic? Someone didn’t speak to you? Your coworkers are not doing their job and criticizing you for doing yours? You weren’t appreciated for doing something you believe appreciation was warranted? The sun is not shinning? It’s raining or snowing? Too hot, too cold? How about you’re not being treated the way you believe you should be treated? What really does it take to ruin your day?
What happens when YOU allow your day to be ruined? You walk around pouting? You take out your frustrations on undeserving people? Snapping at everyone, frowning and looking mean, reserved and withdrawn? You miss the good that’s happening now because you’re stuck in your moment of perceived to be ruin?
Well, here is truth, the clock will continue to tick second after second, minute after minute, hour after hour, the fact that YOU let something or someone ruin your day will not stop time. Snap out of it! YOU should determine how your day goes! Yes, circumstances and situations will come that you were not expecting or simply weren’t prepared for, but if you are always conscious of the greatness that resides IN YOU, you will not be so easily flustered by the things you cannot change.
You cannot control traffic. If they don’t speak to you, that’s their prerogative, don’t take on their issue. If you’re being criticized, ask yourself, is it constructive or is it messy? If it’s constructive, appreciate the “heads up” and work to do better. If it’s messy, don’t bite the bone, move on, period. There are going to be times when we won’t be appreciated, bottom line, some people think you owe it to them or you’re supposed to do what you’re doing. Don’t take it personal, make up your mind, “I’m going to do it and not expect anything in return.” The weather? Come on, your complaining is not going to do anything except show your inappreciation to still being here to experience whatever the climate. People will treat you the way “they think” you deserve to be treated, if what they think and what you believe don’t line up, maybe you’re not worth it to them and it’s time for you to move on.
Every day is a day God made, so absolutely nothing takes Him by surprise. Trust each day He calls good and never insist on calling it anything less. It’s a good day today, rejoice and be glad no matter what, and let nothing ruin this beautiful day. Keep smiling, keep appreciating your beauty and keep basking in the fact that you’re alive to enjoy today.

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER
O Lord, our God, we praise You! We thank You Lord for the blessing and privilege to see one more day. It's another day that we have never seen before, we thank You for the newness of this day. You have blessed us with a fresh start, so we begin this day saying, "Thank You!" We pray one for another, asking that You will draw us closer to You. Help us to take the time to look over our lives and see how good You've been to us. Help us to remember the many times You brought us out, kept us safe and made a way. For some it doesn't matter how good You've been, how faithful You are, still it's not enough to cause them to want to commit to Your way; But Lord, our desire is to please You. Our desire is to be grateful for all that You've done in our lives, so grateful that we want to do our part. We want to be committed to the things You've called us to do, without excuses. We pray that You will give us the strength to not grow weary in doing good and believe in due season we shall reap a harvest of blessings. In due season we'll see the other side of through. In due season "this to" shall pass. In due season we shall enjoy the desires of our heart. We thank You Lord in advance for our due season on the way. We pray healing for the sick and those recovering (Michael Lilly and Maria Richards), deliverance for those in bondage and peace to the troubled. Thank You Lord for this day and we purpose in our hearts right now to rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.

WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER
Lord, You are good and Your mercy endures forever! We worship You for Who You are! Thank You Lord for opening our eyes to experience another new day that You created just for us. We pray one for another, asking You to give us the courage to be all we can be, refusing to settle for mediocrity. Help each one to remember when we settle for any circumstance, situation, or relationship; we're forgetting we are "The King's" children. You have made us promises that You love to keep, so help us take You at Your Word today and go forth with expectation. Go forth expecting no weapon formed against us to prosper. Go forth expecting Goodness and Mercy to follow us. Go forth expecting to be blessed in the city and in the field. Go forth expecting You to be our Shepherd. Go forth expecting You to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think and trust eyes have not seen, neither ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man the things You have prepared for us. The best is yet to come. Lord, as we go forth with great expectation, we pray each one remembers to offer praise to You with the lives we live. Be glorified in our life today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for our life, health and strength. We thank You for family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, acquaintances and enemies too. We thank You for food, clothing and shelter. We thank You for air to breathe, birds to hear and flowers to enjoy. We have so much to be thankful for, but most importantly we're thankful because absolutely nothing can separate us from Your love. We thank You Lord for Your faithfulness--all the days of our life You have not repeated one day and we have not taken the same breath--You are an awesome God and we praise You for always sharing Your awesomeness with us. We pray one for another, asking You to help us use yesterday as a stepping stone in to today. Help us to know if we pick up yesterday and bring it into today, it will hinder us from fully enjoying all that You have for us today. Yesterday we suffered heartache and pain, we enjoyed laughter and successes, but yesterday is gone never to return again; Today is here and we praise You for doing a new thing in our life today. We pray for the sick, bereaved and troubled all over the land, draw them closer to You and grant them peace. Again we say thank You for today and we praise You in advance for the victory today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Because of Calvary,

To: Bishop Willie Williams, Reggie Hall, and Alumni who e-mailed me privately,

 

Thank You all for your thoughts and prayers for the passing of my young Cousin. 

 

Even though and in the midst of the sorrow that my family feels right now my family still knows that" God is good all of the time" and that "this time right now shall pass".

              

 Thank You so much Bishop Willie for including me and my family in the Monday Morning Prayer.

 

 Much Love and Peace to all of you.

 

God bless!!

 

Love and Blessings, Phoebe

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER:

O Lord we praise You. We worship You. We honor You. We adore You. We love You. We bless Your holy and righteous Name, for You are the only living God and we are convinced there is none like You. We thank You for blessing us to see one more day; A day filled with Your goodness, kindness, mercy, grace, direction and correction. We pray one for another, asking that You forgive us for our sin and wrongdoing and lead us this day in the way that You would have us to go. We pray also for Phoebe and her family as the mourn the transitioning of their family member. Give us the courage to trust You enough to acknowledge You in all our ways and trust You to direct our path. We pray each one purposes in their heart to be obedient to Your way and lean not to our own understanding. For there are many things about today that we may not understand, but help us trust You and believe You have the master plan. A plan not meant for evil or destruction, but it is a plan of hope designed to lead us to life more abundantly. It's a great day today and we shall go forth expecting Your master plan to continue to unfold in our lives, and we stand on tip toe anticipation for the many blessings You have for us, but most importantly for the victories planned by You for us today. We give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.

May the grace of God be with you all through this difficult time and may he comfort you. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Love you Phoebe, take care and God bless!
