Our Father in heaven, we thank You for waking us this morning to see another perfect day that You have created. We thank You for assuring us one more day, Great is Your Faithfulness, for everyday of our lives You have given us brand new mercy. Lord we thank You because You keep doing great things for us, You keep loving us in spite of ourselves, You keep providing all of our needs, You keep being the One we can always count on --We praise You Lord for all You've done for us! We pray one for another, asking that we come to the realization that it would be nice if You could count on us. Count on us to offer praise to You with the lives we live. Count on us to have love one to another, not just who we pick and choose, but to all. Count on us to use the gifts You have given us to use for Your glory. Count on us to live out the purpose for which You created us. Lord, for the times You haven't been able to count on us, we ask Your forgiveness; And, we pray today be the day we purpose in our hearts to do better. We pray today be the day we let our little light shine on purpose. Thank You Lord for today, the first day of the best days of our lives, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Thank You Lord for this another day that You have blessed us to see. We thank You Lord for another chance to say yes to Your will. We thank You Lord for another opportunity to say, "Thank You Lord for all You've done for us". We thank You Lord for the privilege to bow before You and worship You just for Who You are; We pray each one realizes we must praise and worship You for ourselves. Each day we make plans to do this and that, we decide what's best for us and we become determined to do what we want to do; Help each one to know the key to success is to trust You with all our hearts and lean not to our own understanding, but in all our ways acknowledge You (first) and You will direct our path. Lord, help us to remember You are the One Who is Omniscience (all knowing), You are the One Who is Omnipotent (all powerful) and You are the One Who is Omnipresent (everywhere present at the same time), which lets us know You are more than capable to be in charge of our lives. You're more than capable to lead, guide and direct our paths. You're more than capable to protect us at all times. You're more than capable of leading us away from temptation and You're more than capable of bringing us through trouble, heartaches and pain. Lord, help us to remember You are with us always and with everything that You are and all that You have, You will take care of us, BUT we must trust You. Lord, help us this day to run our plans by You first and trust You to provide "The Answer". You are the Source of our strength and the strength of our lives, help us this day to go forth in the power You have made available to us. We give You praise in advance for a victorious day, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to see another beautiful day. Although it's raining outside, we thank and praise You for adding the "Sonshine" to our lives. We pray that You will bless each one with traveling grace as we travel up and down the wet and slippery highways. Protect us from hurt, harm and accidents, and let us reach our different destinations safely. Lord, listening to the raindrops fall is comforting and soothing, some of us wish we could stay home and relax, we dread getting out in the rain. But, we thank You for the rain, because if we never had any rain we couldn't enjoy the colorful plant life, the impurities in the air would never be washed away and our food supply would become scarce. Lord, just as the physical rain improves our survival and brings about growth, so it is with the storms of our lives--we don't like going through the storms, but we praise You because after the storms are over, we're stronger, better and wiser. Lord help us to remember, because You are our Father, You will take care of us. Help us not to complain about the rain, but instead thank and praise You in advance for the green trees and grass, the beautiful flowers and fresh air, thank You Lord for always taking good care of us. Lord, whether it's raining or the sun is shinning bright, it's a beautiful day, help us to remember our attitude will determine our altitude, so we're thanking and praising You all the way through, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Good morning Lord! We thank You for the blessing and privilege to still be here. Still here to offer praises to Your Name. Still here to worship and adore You. Still here to see the bright sunshine. Still here blessed with the love of family and friends. Still here and we thank You for another chance to say yes to Your will. Lord we pray one for another asking that You will give us the strength to not waste one minute on negative thinking, negative people or negative situations. Help us to think on things that are true, honorable, right, pure, lovely and admirable. Help us to think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Give us the courage to purpose in our hearts to keep pressing on, no matter what. It's a beautiful day and it makes no sense to add clouds of confusion, doubt, despair, worry or fear; So if a situation comes that has the potential of causing us to cloudy up our day, give us the strength to use our energy to praise our way through. It's a great day today and we purpose in our hearts right now to rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to see another day. Father, yesterday we celebrated the fact that You raised Jesus from the dead and we praise You today because the celebration is not over! We still celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ today and everyday. We celebrate because the blood of Jesus still works today and forevermore, it will never loose its power! We thank You Jesus for loving us so much that You gave Your life in order that we might be saved. We pray for each one who reads this prayer, praying that all see the sense of urgency in sharing Your love. Praying that we realize tomorrow is not promised, so today is the day to have love one to another. Today is the day to share the Good News. Today is the day to let our lights so shine everywhere we go. We're praying for those who are struggling with making a decision to do right; Those who are struggling with making up their minds to do it Your way--give us the courage, wisdom and strength to trust You to give us what we need to make the decision and stand on Your promise that You will never leave us. Help us to know because You're with us, the power to make the decision and stand by it is available to us. Today is the day to rejoice and be glad through it all, today is the day to let nothing stop us from giving praise to the Most High God, not just with our lips, but with the lives we live, we pray for those struggling with spiritual, physical, mental, emotional illnesses, we pray especially for Apostle Berry, Bishop Bonner, Lori Williams, Tawnette Fulton, Barbara Hayes and Mother Shirley Jackson and her husband Bishop Jackson and Johnny Tucker, we ask for divine healing for all of us who are standing in the need of prayer, and the family of Bishop Gregory Dixon as they mourn the loss of their loved one. We ask in Jesus Name, Amen.

Don't give up.....
One day I decided to quit... I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality... I wanted to quit my life. I went to the woods to have one last talk with God. 'God', I asked, 'Can you give me one good reason not to quit?' His answer surprised me... 'Look around', He said. 'Do you see the fern and the bamboo?' 'Yes', I replied. 'When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water.
The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. He said. 'In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit. In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit.' He said.
'Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant...But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle.'
He asked me. 'Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots'. 'I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you.' 'Don't compare yourself to others,' He said, 'The bamboo had a different Purpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful.' 'Your time will come', God said to me.
'You will rise high' 'How high should I rise?' I asked. 'How high will the bamboo rise?' He asked in return. 'As high as it can?' I questioned. 'Yes.' He said, 'Give me glory by rising as high as you can.'
I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you. Never, Never, Never Give up. Here, Lord we ask a special Blessing on Sis. Verlaine Stauffer; give her the strength and courage to never give up.
Our Father we praise You for Who You are and for always knowing and doing what's best for us! We praise You because we're growing stronger and we will rise as high as we can to give glory to You, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Good morning Lord! We praise Your Name Lord Jesus! You're our Rock! You're our Fortress! You're our Deliverer! In You Oh Lord do we trust! Thank You for waking us to see another beautiful day. We thank You for yesterday, but we're more excited about today! We're excited because we're expecting more goodness. We're excited because we have new mercies. We're excited because everyday with You Lord is sweeter than the day before. Lord, today is the first day of the best days of our lives and we begin this day worshiping and praising our God Who makes all things new. We're not concerned about how bad our situations may seem, because we trust You! You have always came through for us; You have never let us down and based on Your reputation in our lives, we're looking at our situations and by faith calling them, "GOOD". Lord, today we're expecting great, we're expecting nothing but victory because we're on the winning team. Lord You are our Quarterback and we are Your Wide Receivers, we thank You in advance for throwing us the ball and going before us to block our way all the way to the finish line. Touchdown after touchdown we shall experience, thank You Jesus! We give You praise and we shout out, "Go Jesus! Go Jesus! Go!!" In the mighty Name of Jesus we pray, amen.
