THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER:
Great is thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies we see! All we have needed Thy hand hath provided. Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto us. We praise You Lord for bringing us through yesterday and blessing us to see today. We thank You Lord because we realize it's not because of any good that we have done, but it's all because of Your mercy and grace. God, we pray one for another, lifting all doubt, worry, trouble, sickness and confusion to You; Father, as we lift all our cares to You, we pray for strength to keep our hands lifted up, praising and worshiping You in all things. Help us to realize we can't, but You can. Lord, open our ears so we may hear Your voice so clear and help us to know, our will is weak unless it's joined together with Your will--without You, life has NO meaning. So, we thank You for Your ever presence in our lives and since we know You're with us today, we surrender our day to You, trusting You to bring us through. Thank You Lord for Your peace, in Jesus Name, Amen.

WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER:
Hallelujah, salvation and glory, honor and power unto the Lord our God. For the Lord our God is mighty, yes the Lord our God is omnipotent. The Lord our God is wonderful! We worship You for Who You are in all of Your glory. Thank You Lord for waking us to see today. We thank You for Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace. Lord we thank You because we recognize You are the Source of our strength and the strength of our life. We recognize without You we would be nothing. We recognize it is in You we live, move and have our being. We recognize if it had not been for You on our side there is no way we would be where we are today. We may not have all we desire to have, but we praise You because all of our need Your faithful hand continues to provide. Great is Your faithfulness!!! We pray each one will remember today all we know about You and based on what we know about You live today not looking back, but pressing forward. Today we refuse to be distracted by the tricks and schemes of our enemy. We refuse to give in to negativity. We shall go forth knowing who we are because of Whose we are, declaring the victory in all things. We believe we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus Who loves us, which means we win, that’s it, that’s all! In Jesus Name, Amen.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER:
O Lord, our God, how excellent is Thy Name in all the earth! We praise You Lord because there is none like You in all the earth. We praise You Lord because You know everything there is to know about us and there is nothing You know that will stop You from loving us. We praise You Lord because no matter what we say or do, Your grace and mercy towards us continues and You keep doing great things for us. We're blessed!! We're blessed!! We're blessed!! Thank You Lord for Your amazing grace! It's a new day that You have blessed us to see, filled with new mercy. Yesterday is gone, never to return again, help each one to know what matters most right now is what we do today. We praise You Lord because You have given us breath today to be a blessing to someone else. You've given us breath today to forgive and move on. You've given us breath today to let go of what we insist on holding on to, knowing You said, "No". You've given us breath today to take another step in the direction of living out our purpose. Lord we shall not take advantage of the breath that You have given us. We purpose in our hearts right now to live today so You can use us. We will not dwell on negative things, but we will look for You in every situation, then rejoice and be glad because knowing You're there makes the difference. Lord we're praying for Annette Wilson, asking that You draw her closer to You and grant her peace. We thank You Lord for today, we're going forth rejoicing and being glad no matter what, in Jesus Name, Amen.

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER:
Lord, You are good and Your mercy endures forever! We worship You for Who You are; You are the Great I Am, everything we need You to be, all the time.Thank You Lord for waking us to see another perfect day. We make special request for the family of Dr. Stephanie Douglas as they adjust to the transitioning of their beloved Barbara Perdue; grant them the strength and peace that comes from knowing that to be absent from the body, is to be present with the LORD! We also pray one for another, praying each one will purpose in their heart to go forth today with an attitude of a winner. Help us to stop fighting battles not designed for us to fight. Help us to know there is a war going on that cannot be fought with bullets and guns. It cannot be fought with tricks and schemes. It cannot be fought with lies and backbiting. It’s a spiritual warfare and it’s time we put on our God-given armor. It’s time we get our minds right, stand on Your promises and go forth declaring words of victory. We’re going forth today being all we can be. We’re going forth declaring, no weapon formed against us shall prosper. We’re going forth dismissing all negative and clinging to all positive. We’re going forth believing, I can do all things through Christ Who gives us strength. We’re going for not looking back but reaching forth to new heights, new ideas, new dreams, believing You have great things in store for us. This is the day that our faithful God has made and we shall rejoice and be glad, in Jesus Name, Amen.

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION:
WHO ARE YOU?
When it comes to you, what you say about you should matter more than what anyone else says about you?

Listening to others opinion about you will tempt you to change to who they believe you should be. The more you listen to them, the more they will believe they have a license to tell you who you should be and what you should do. Stop listening to them! Revoke their license. Tell them, “I know who I am!”

So the million dollar question is, “Who do you say YOU are?” If you know who you are, nothing anyone says can make you change who you are. We are all a piece of a giant puzzle, designed to fit in our place. Any change to who you are messes up the fit. I don’t know, maybe that’s why so many have to go and “find themselves”, because they have let what others say intimidate who they are.

You are a perfect YOU. There is no one like YOU. There is no one better than YOU. There is nothing you have to do to impress anyone. Nothing you need to do to make “them” like you. You have to know who you are and be proud to be you. You have to know when God made YOU, He created a masterpiece.

Take the time to get to know YOU. Love on YOU. Take care of YOU. Don’t change YOU. Go forth and let YOU shine. Go forth and be happy being YOU. Look at YOU and smile, you’re beautiful! When you’re happy being you, goodness will prevail and God, the Creator of YOU will be glorified.

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER:
Our Father in heaven, Lord we thank You for this another day You have blessed us to see. We thank You for our life, health and strength. We thank You for Your Word, full of Your promises that assure us You're always with us and You will always take care of us. Your Word promises nothing will separate us from Your love. Your Word promises You will cause all things to work together for good, for those of us who love You and are called according to Your purpose. In Your Word You told us tribulations would come, but we could be of good cheer because You have overcome them all. God, because of Your Word we can live knowing our life is worth living and we can live expecting great things. Thank You Jesus for Your Word! God, we're taking You at Your Word, we will trust You with all our hearts and we will not lean to our own understanding, but in all our ways we will acknowledge You first and expect You to direct our paths. We pray one for another, asking You to bless each one with the blessings we stand in need of and give us the strength and courage to take You at Your Word and keep pressing forward believing Your Word is true. It's a great day today, we're expecting great things, and we purpose in our hearts to rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.

WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER:
Our Father in heaven, for Your grace and mercy we say, thank You! For blessing us to see this beautiful Wednesday morning we say, thank You! For supplying all of our needs we say, thank You! We ask that You forgive us of our sin and help us to remember once You forgive us, that's it, that's all. Man often times will hold things against us, bring up our past and try to keep us hostage to our mistakes, but we praise You Lord because no matter what man sees in us, You always see the best in us, thank You Lord. We pray a special prayer for Apostle R. Berry and Tawnette Gilbert and we pray one for another, asking You to bless each one with the courage to live today in love. Loving ourselves, loving those around us, loving those who mistreat us, loving those who upset us; For You told us by this shall all men know we're Your disciples if we have love one to another. Help us to remember loving is not an option, but all circumstances and situations are reason to love on purpose, because You said so. Let us declare today, this little light of mine I'm going to let it shine. It's going to shine in our home, our neighborhoods, our schools, at work, driving in our cars, walking down the streets, waiting on the bus--everywhere we go and in all that we do, we're going to shine, shine, shine! We thank You Lord for giving us our joy and for letting us know the joy of the Lord is our strength. We're going forth today strong in the Lord and in the power of Your might and having done all we shall stand. We give glory to You Lord, in Jesus Name, Amen.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER:
Good morning Lord! We bow our heads and we stretch forth our hands before You, worshiping and praising You for Your excellency. We thank You Lord for showing us daily that You are an awesome God. Lord, You made man smart and intelligent, You gave us the ability to rhyme and reason; And sometimes we get so busy trying to make things happen, or trying to make things work out the way we want, until we forget it's because of You that we're able to move around. It's because of You that we can think. It's because of You we have jobs to go to or means to take care of ourselves. It's because of You our families are provided for and our children are safe. It's because of You that we live, we move and have our being, so right now we want to take the time to say, "Thank You!" Thank You for all You have done, are doing and shall continue to do. Lord, when we see the sun or feel the heat of the sun today, help us remember You put it there. And as long as what we're dealing with today does not get bigger than You causing the sun to rise and set, we should trust You. For some of us things are a little tough right now, but we're not asking You to help us climb our mountains or give us the strength to go around them, but we are asking You to take us through, for we believe there are more blessings on the other side of through. Today is an absolutely wonderful day and we thank You for the sun, which is our constant reminder that the Son is still alive, and through Him we are more than conquerors! We give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER:
We praise Your Name Jesus, for there is nobody greater than You. Lord we praise You because mighty are the works of Your hands. You are the reason we still have life. You are the reason we have peace. You are the reason we have strength, for the joy of the Lord is our strength. You are the reason we can shout, “hallelujah the victory is ours today!” Because of Who You are and Your love to us, we feel safe and secure in Your loving arms. You promised to never leave us, remind each one of Your presence in our life and give us the courage to make the effort to move forward. We shall not waste any time today fussing or complaining, but we shall use the breath we have to encourage someone along the way. We shall look for good in every situation, knowing in every situation You’re present and having You there makes the difference. We’re praying for Michelle Evans as she prepares to go in for surgery. Draw her closer to You, remind her You’re with her and because You’re there it’s all good. We pray one for another, praying each one take the time to see the green grass, smell the flowers and appreciate air to breathe. Life is good and we praise You because we’re still here to live it, in Jesus Name, Amen.

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION:
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR

If you take a look in the upper right hand corner of your cell phone, you can see how much battery life remains. Fully charged – 100%. A few hours later, depending on how much you use your phone, 85%, 80%, 70%, but once 30% or lower shows, we will be careful not to play any games or talk on the phone too long until we can get to a charger. Why? No battery-no cell phone. There are some who can’t live without their cell phone!

Just as our cell phone has a low battery indicator, so it is with our body. We know when we’re tired. We know when we’re stressed. We know when we’re sick. We know because we have low battery indicators: Headaches, stomach aches, high blood pressure, grouchy, short-tempered, sadness, depression; Our bodies have indicators that tell us when something is not right. These indicators warn us of low battery and a charge is necessary.

We don’t ignore our cell phone low battery indicator and we absolutely should not ignore our body low battery indicators. If a situation is too stressful, why are you still there? If you know what sends your blood pressure sky high, or what affects your sugar level, leave it alone! If you’re tired, stop going for a minute, take the time to rest. Whatever you do, don’t ignore your low battery indicators. Your life has to be more important than the cell phone!

How do you recharge? What do you do to regain your energy, your strength, your health, your sanity? We can’t use anyone’s battery charger, what works for them is not guaranteed to work for you. But, there is a “universal” battery charger, one that works for all---Prayer, Praise & Worship! (If this is not your brand, do what works for you, just don’t ignore the low battery indicator).

When we pray, praise and worship our minds are shifted from those things that are affecting our charge, to concentrating on the One Who will not only provide the charge, but will remind us how to retain a charge. We retain the charge by talking to our God about everything and taking the time to listen. WARNING: Being hard-headed, stubborn, and disobedient will drain our battery and a re-charge will become necessary. Oh yea, playing games and dealing with drama will drain our battery faster.

Prayer, Praise and Worship extends our battery life. Take a few minutes each day to praise God for all He’s done and worship Him for Who He is. Don’t ignore the low battery indicator, talk to your Creator about a charge.
