WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER:
Bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is within us, we bless Your Holy Name. Thank You Lord for opening our eyes to see another new day. It's a new day filled with endless possibilities, a new day filled with brand new mercy, a new day filled with Your unconditional love to us. Yesterday we did some things right and we did some things wrong; Yesterday we had the chance to speak kind words and we blew it; Yesterday we could have been a better friend, cousin, brother, sister, daughter, mother, father, son, uncle or aunt--BUT, yesterday is gone and we refuse to live today based on yesterday. Lord we thank You for another chance today to say yes to Your will. Today we will put yesterday behind us and press forward. We're pressing to be all that You created us to be. We're pressing to glorify You in all we say and do. We're pressing to live a life of praise and thanksgiving. We're pressing and we're determined when trouble comes to speak the words, "Nay, in all these things I am more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus Who loves me!" Nothing that this day brings shall be able to separate us from Your love, so no matter what comes our way today, it's ALL good! We give You praise and we thank You for the victories we will experience today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER:
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for waking us to see another beautiful day. We thank You because You’re good and Your mercy endures forever. It’s a good day today because You made it. We pray each one remembers because You made this day there is nothing about this day You cannot handle. There is nothing about this day that will take You by surprise. Help us to know with certainty, just as You have taken care of us all the other days You’ve made, You will take care of us today. We’re asking a special blessing for Eric & Tonya Jasper and family as they mourn the passing of their mother Theresa Jasper, also remember the family of Lyle Spruill as they mourn his passing. Place Your loving arms of comfort all around them, draw them closer to You and grant them peace. There are so many things about today we may not understand, so help us to not count on what we can understand, but instead trust our faithful God Who knows all, sees all and can do all. Strengthen our ears that we may hear Your voice so clear and follow where You lead. Give us the strength and courage to not go in search for the easy route, but trust You to lead us through the best route. We cast our cares to You, believing You care for us. Be glorified in our lives today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION:

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM ME?
What do you expect from me? Do you expect me to only say things that will validate you? Do you expect me to only do things that will make you happy? Do you expect me to make you laugh, comfort you, please you and make all your dreams come true? Do you expect me to know what you’re thinking and respond based on what I know you’re thinking? Do you expect me to do this, that and the other for you, even when I don’t want to?
Well, I can’t do all of that! I can’t do all you expect me to do and be who I am. Me living up to your expectations will cause me to slowly dwindle away. If I do all you expect me to do, who will take care of my expectations? What about me?
What can you expect from me? You can expect me to be honest, because when you tell the truth you don’t have to think of what lie you need to cover up. You can expect me to say no when I mean no and yes when I mean yes. You can expect me to be who I am, no pretending and no “show-boating”, what you see is who I am. You can expect me to not be bullied into doing what you expect. You can expect me to not feel guilty when I don’t live up to your expectations.
My Creator expects me to be who He created me to be. He expects me to use what He breathed in me to use for His glory. God expects me to show love one to another; But don’t get it twisted, loving you is not doing what you expect me to do. Loving you is sharing with you who God created me to be. Loving you is hearing God’s voice and doing what He says. Loving you is not doing “it” because that’s what you expect, it’s doing “it” because that’s what I want to do and it’s from my heart.
I hope we’re clear on what to expect from me. What about you? Whose expectations are you living up to? Maybe that explains why you’re always so tired, worn out, stressed and sick. God created us to worship and praise Him with our life. Be careful not to be more concerned about living up to other’s expectations than you are living to glorify God.

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER:
God, it's so easy to love You because You're wonderful. It's so easy to love You because You're marvelous. It's so easy to love You because You're Glorious. It's so easy to love You because You call us friend, and we thank You for being our best friend always. Lord, You know the good, the bad, and the ugly; You know our thoughts before we think them, You know our actions, including the ones we try to keep secret. You know our motives, our desires, our habits and addictions; And we have found out no matter what You know about us, You still love us and You still have a plan for our lives. This morning Lord, we celebrate You!!!! There is none like You and we praise You for looking beyond what others see and seeing the best in us. Help us this day to not let the distractions in our lives overshadow Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace. Bless each one to know we're still here for a reason and the reason is not to fuss, gripe and complain; But we're here to praise and glorify You by being who You created us to be and doing what You've assigned for us to do. It's a great day and we're going forth with a positive attitude, looking to be a blessing to someone else. We give You praise for the first day of the best days of our lives, in Jesus Name, Amen.

WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER:

O Give thanks unto the Lord for You are good! Thank You Lord for blessing us to see today, another day with another chance to move forward and know that You are God. Lord we thank You because our testimony today is, through it all You have kept us. Through it all we're growing stronger, better and wiser. Through it all we're learning it is better to trust You, than to count on man. Through it all we have found out You are our very best Friend and You always keep Your Word. We pray each one knows there are some things specifically designed for Your hands only. You continue to say, "Let Me Do It", and we continue to try to fix it ourselves-- give us the wisdom to know when it's time to remove our hands and the strength and courage to let go and allow You to have Your way. Help us to know You're working, we may not see Your hand moving but we have to trust Your Word and know You work all things together for good. Lord, while You're working, honestly sometimes it's hard to stay out of it, it's hard to deal with the pain, it's hard to deal with the unknown--During these times give us the strength to do what You created us to do--praise and worship the only true and living God. Not just with our lips, but with the lives we live. Let our song today be, "I Surrender All". All to Jesus we surrender, all to You we freely give. We will love and trust You and recognize we are in Your presence as we live today. It's a great day today and we purpose in our hearts right now to rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what, in Jesus Name, Amen.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER:
We praise the Name of Jesus! We thank You for being our Rock, our Fortress and our Deliverer, in You O Lord do we trust. We thank You for always being there to love us, comfort us, protect us, inspect us, direct us, correct us, provide for us, assure and validate us. We are confident in the fact that we are who we are because of You and nothing or no one can change who we are in You. We are more than conquerors and our name is victory because of who You are. Because of Who You are we have hope and our faith in You adds the fuel necessary to keep our hope alive. We’re praying for Susie Kemp as she prepares to enter the operating room. Draw her closer to You and grant her peace. We’re expecting a mighty move from You that the doctors, nurses, technicians, family and friends will be amazed by Your healing touch. Bless each eye who reads this prayer, search us through and through, see our desire, see our need, see our issues, see our struggle, see our pain, see our sickness, see us and provide the mighty move we’re expecting. Give us the courage to keep expecting You to exceed abundantly above all we’re expecting and the strength to keep pressing our way forward determined to please our faithful God, in Jesus Name, Amen.

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER;
O Lord, our God how excellent is Thy Name in all the earth. We love You, we praise You, we adore and we worship You because we know it is in You we live, move and have our being. It’s because of You we’re still alive and because we’re still here we know there is more You’re requiring of us. Thank You for another chance to do all we’ve been assigned to do. This is the day You have made, help each one to know part of our assignment is to rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what. Help us to know whether we’re happy or sad, our assignment is to glorify You in all we say and do. Lord we believe You and we trust You, but there are some areas we’re unsure of, some areas we doubt, we ask You to strengthen those areas and be glorified in our lives today. This morning we’re praying for Carolyn Moore, asking for Your mighty healing touch in her life. Draw her closer to You and grant her peace. We pray our Pastor, Apostle Rebecca Berry, asking you to restore all that she expended in ministering to the Body of Christ in both services on yesterday. We pray one for another, thanking You in advance for the victories we will experience today. We thank You in advance for the miracles that will be performed in our lives, and especially in our loved ones lives. We’re expecting You to exceed abundantly above all we’ve asked and are thinking, get glory in our lives today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION:
HE'LL CARRY YOU NOW

Time is filled with swift transitions.
People are here today, gone tomorrow.
Healthy one day, fighting for their lives the next.
Families are together this week, asking, “Where is mom/dad?” the next.
Best friends for many years, struggling to be mere acquaintances today.

Everything must change; they say nothing remains the same.
But who would have thought "I" would be experiencing what I am right now?
Not in a million years would I have thought “THIS” would be me!
So what do you do when your world is turned upside down?
What do you do when the little hope you had is now gone?
Who do you run to when your brother has let go of your hand?
Your sister doesn't understand?
Your mother can't dry your tears?
Your father can't be there?
And your best friend can’t be found?

Well, in the words of the song,”There's Jesus and He'll never let you down”.
He’s the same yesterday, today and forever. When all else fails, look for Him.
He's waiting patiently in line for you to notice He has never left you, in fact, if you let Him He'll carry you now.

Don't wait for a perceived bad situation to look for Jesus, look up He sees you in the good as well as the bad. He’s always standing with His arms wide open, extending the invitation, “Come to Me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”
Don’t carry what your body is not designed to carry, let it all go, trust HIM and He’ll carry YOU now.

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER:
Our Father, we thank You for waking us to a new day. We thank You for protecting us throughout yesterday and for watching over us as we slept last night. We thank You Lord for Your promise to be with us always. Help us to remember, You with us is more than the whole world against us. Because You're with us, it doesn't matter what comes our way, if we trust You the victory will always belong to us. Lord help us to remember the victory is not always seen right away with our natural eye, but our faith in You helps us know it with our Spiritual eyes. Father, we pray one for another, asking You to give us the wisdom, strength and courage not to react based on what we see with our natural eye, but instead use our Spiritual eyes to know we can be of good cheer because You have already overcome all that we see with our natural eye. Today we will not let what we "see" get us down, we will not let what we "see" cause us to react negatively, we will not let what we "see" alarm us and cause us to fear, but instead we will use what we "KNOW" -- We "know" we're more than conquerors through Christ Jesus Who loves us. We "know" we can do all things through Christ Who strengthens us. We "know" greater is He Who's in us than he that's in the world. We "know" God's grace is sufficient for us! So, based on what we "know" we're not going to wait until the day is over to say thank You, but we're going to shout "hallelujah!' right now, for the victory already belongs to us, in Jesus Name, Amen.

WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER:
Our Father in heaven, we love You, we praise You, we lift up Your holy and righteous Name, for You are the only living God. We thank You for life, health and strength. We thank You for family and friends. We thank You for food, clothing and shelter. We thank You for being so good. We thank You for always being our friend. We thank You for always making a way. We thank You for the blessing that awaits us on the other side of through. We thank You for being patient with us. We thank You for making sure we have all we need. We thank You for the gifts and talents You’ve placed within us. We thank You for always providing direction and for redirecting us when we don’t follow Your direction. We have so much to thank You for, so we’re not asking for anything this morning, we just want to say, “Thank You Jesus!” We pray each one will live today showing all how thankful we are to our faithful God. Be glorified in our life today, in Jesus Name, Amen.
