MONDAY MORNING PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to see another day. We thank You for another wonderful weekend and we look forward to another victorious week. We pray for Mercedes Snowden, Cheryl Williams Shirley Jackson, Thomas Brinkley, Marty and Derrick, Tawnette, Apostle Berry and we pray one for another asking You to help us remember who we are because of Whose we are; Help us to remember the scars of life will come, but if we keep our dancing partner (Jesus), we can dance with the scars. Lord we thank You for choosing us to be Your silent partner--we're silent because we trust You to make all the decisions; we're silent because when it's time to make a move, we trust You to do what's best for us. We're silent because You're God and You're God all by Yourself and You don't need any assistance from us. Lord, in the areas we lack in being silent and trusting You, give us the strength and courage to desire to do better. Help us to use our voice to offer praise to You, speak life and encourage ourselves in the Lord. Bless us today to remember our words are powerful and if we don't want it, we should not speak it. We give You praise for this beautiful day and we thank You in advance for a better day than yesterday, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Because of Calvary,

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION AND PRAYER
WHAT IF?

What if God couldn't take the time to bless us today because we couldn't take the time to thank Him yesterday?
What if God decided to stop leading us tomorrow because we didn't follow Him today?
What if we never saw another flower bloom because we grumbled when God sent the rain?
What if God didn't walk with us today because we failed to recognize it as His day?
What if God took away His message because we failed to listen to the messenger?
What if God didn't send His only begotten Son because He wanted us to be prepared to pay the price for sin?
What if the door of the church was closed because we did not open the door of our heart?
What if God stopped loving and caring for us because we failed to love and care for others?
What if God would not hear us today because we would not listen to Him yesterday?
What if God answered our prayers the way we answer His call to service?
What if God met our needs the way we give Him our lives?
What if? God doesn't have to, but it's because of His grace and Mercy.
God we thank and praise You today because You continue to love us unconditionally. Lord, we pray one for another that we never take advantage of Your grace, for You don't owe us anything, but we owe You our lives.You freely give to us always and we ask that You forgive us for being selfish, inconsiderate and stubborn. Forgive us for acting as if our lives belong to us, when clearly You told us we have been bought with a price and we are to glorify You. We pray Your forgiveness for the many times we didn't honor and praise You the way You so rightly deserve. Lord, today is the day to realize You don't have to, but You do because You love us, and for this we owe You the praise. We thank You in advance for giving us the strength to press through our distractions, and purpose in our hearts to praise, worship and honor You, in Jesus Name, Amen.

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, we begin this day giving You praise, Hallelujah Jesus! We bless Your Name and shout out, "Thank You Jesus for one more day!" You have blessed us with one more day to praise Your Name, one more day to worship and adore You, one more day to draw closer to You, one more day to forgive our brother or sister, one more day to let go of grudges, one more day to choose to say no to our will and yes to Your will; Thank You Lord for one more day. We pray that each one comes to the realization that tomorrow is not promised, people are dying everyday, all we know we have is right now, so right now is the time to get it right with You. Right now is the time to stop insisting we know what's best for our lives. Right now is the time to stop running from You and start chasing after You. Lord bless each person that feels a void to know it can only be filed by You and right now is the time to surrender to You. It's a great day today and we shall not be distracted by the way things look to us, but instead we will give You a "right now" praise, because we know You're behind the scene working all things together for our good. Help us to know when things are 'worked together' it will not always feel good to us, but it's ours to trust You in all things, and believe Your grace and mercy will see us through. We give You praise for the victory today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for our life, health and strength. We thank You for watching over us throughout the night and waking us to a new day filled with Your grace and mercy. We praise You Lord for all that You've done for us; And, we worship You for Who You are, confessing there is none like You. No one else can touch our hearts like You do. No one else can love us like You do. No one else can cover us and protect us like You do. No one else can provide for us like You do, so we worship You Almighty God because there is none like You! We pray one for another, asking You to bless each one with the blessings we stand in need of, and help us to know You know better what we need. We can ask You for what we want, but help us accept the fact, what we want is not always what we need and You promised to supply our every NEED. Help us to know what we need is not always what we want, but if You say we need it, it's what's best for us. Lord, we say we trust You, but where we lack help us to trust You more and more each day. We praise You Lord for this beautiful day that You have made and we declare by faith we shall rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to see another day. We thank You Lord for Your grace and mercy, for recognize it's because of You that we're still living, we're still moving around, and we still have our right mind. Lord, we thank You because things are as well as they are, there is so much that "could be" and there is so much that "could've happened", but Lord You blessed us to be where we are and we thank You. We don't know what today holds, but we praise You Father because we know You hold today. Lord, this morning we're asking that You help us let go and let You have Your way in our lives. Help us to know in order to let go we have to open our hands in submission to You, which means we don't have a choice in what we let go and what we hold on to, but it has to be Your way. We make plans everyday, we desire to see things go certain ways and often times we believe we're doing what's best for us, but help us today to know, we see right now, but You see beginning to end, and You plan on what You know. Father, we're letting go of our plan today and we're going with Your perfect plan. We declare by faith, something good will happen to us today and we praise You because today is the first day of the best days of our lives, in Jesus Name, Amen.

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for waking us to see another day. We thank You for a wonderful weekend and we look forward to a victorious week. Bless each one to know You are the Great I Am and You're always on Your post. We may not see Your hand moving, but You're always working all things together for our good. Help us to accept the fact, sometimes things seem to get worse before they get better, but if we wait on You, You will renew our strength, mount us up with wings as eagles; we'll run and not be weary, and walk and not faint. Help us to know waiting on You is not sitting passively doing things our way, but it is continuing to seek and rely on You instead of our own strength. We thank You Lord that when we're weak, if we rely on You, You'll give us strength to do as eagles and soar over life circumstances and situations. Lord, there is nobody greater than You, and more than any other relationship, we need a closer relationship with You. Father, we praise You for drawing us to You, bless each one to not become discouraged and pursue a closer relationship with others, but instead everyday chase after You and come to know we need You more than material things, more than people in our lives, more than fame and fortune we need You. We need You to lead, guide and direct our path, so that everywhere You have prepared a blessing for us--we'll walk right to it. We give You praise in advance for the blessings You have prepared today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION AND PRAYER
Struggle a Little - Then Fly!
.
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly, that he brought home. One day a small opening appeared he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours. It struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther. So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily, but, it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. He continued to watch the butterfly, he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and the body would contract. Neither happened!
In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It was never able to fly.
The man acted with well-intentioned kindness but he didn't understand the consequences. The restricting cocoon and the struggle required to get through the tiny opening, were nature's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were to go through life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could have been and we could never fly.
So the next time you are faced with an obstacle, a challenge, or a problem, remember the butterfly. Struggle a little - then fly!
Lord, we thank You for this another day that You have blessed us to see. God, we don't know what this day holds for us, but the one thing we are certain of is, the Lord our God is strong and mighty and mighty in battle; Help us to remember the battle is not ours, but it belongs to You. Lord, we're praying one for another asking that You will strengthen those who are in a struggle now, bless those who just came through a struggle and prepare those who are approaching a struggle. Father, whatever our position is to the struggle, we thank You because struggles, challenges, problems and obstacles come to make us lean and depend on You more. So, we thank You Lord for the struggles in our life and we declare by faith, we will come through stronger, better and wiser. Hallelujah Jesus! We will fly, in the Name of Jesus, Amen.

Because of Calvary,

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to see another day. We praise Your Name Jesus because You're our Rock, our Fortress, our Deliverer and we're learning to trust You more and more each day. Lord, this is the day that You made, help us to know because You made this day there is NOTHING about this day that You cannot handle. There is nothing about this day that will take You by surprise; So Lord, since You know all about this day when things come up today that we don't understand, we'll talk to You first, then we'll trust You to lead, guide and direct our path. We'll trust You Lord to give us what we need to handle all that comes up today. We're praying for the youth all over the land, as they prepare for the Summer we pray that You will place a hedge of protection all around them, guard their hearts and minds against the attack of the enemy. Bless each one who reads this prayer, draw us closer to You so we will know Your voice, come familiar with Your ways and recognize the tricks and schemes of the enemy. Give us a praying spirit so we will talk to You all the time about everything, and help us to know if our desire is to please You we have to let go of our way and trust Your way. We give You praise and we thank You in advance for the victory today, in Jesus Name, Amen.
