THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER
Thank You Lord for waking us to see another beautiful Thursday morning. We thank You Lord for Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace. We thank You Lord for Your ever presence in our lives and for opening our understanding to know, it is in You that we live, move and have our being. Lord, there is no way we could make it without You, the fact of the matter is You are the Source of our strength and the strength of our lives. So, instead of complaining today, we pray that each one will take a look around and see the beauty You have strategically placed in our lives, then lift up our hands in total praise to You. We pray one for another, asking that You will strengthen our ears to hear beyond the trouble, confusion and distractions in our lives; And, let us hear Your voice clearly saying, "I'm working that together for your good." Let us hear Your voice saying, "Lo, I'll be with you always, even through this that you're going through." Bless us to know because You're with us it's time to praise You; Because You're with us it's time to worship You; Because You're with us it's time to shout the victory cheer, "We are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus Who loves us --- we win!!!!" This is the day that You have made, we will rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for opening our eyes to see another beautiful day. We thank You for waking us in our right mind, a mind to say, "Thank You". We thank You Lord because You have given us food and clothing; We thank You Lord for shelter with all the amenities, it may not be all that we desire, but it is absolutely all we need. We thank You Lord for family and friends, recognizing You have made each one of us unique and sometimes our uniqueness clashes; We ask that You will help us to not get so upset with one another that we stop appreciating each life that You have strategically placed in our lives. You do all things well, including turning the messes we've made in our lives to messages ---messages to remind us that our way may seem right, but Your way is always the best way. Lord, sometimes we don't understand why things have to happen the way they do, we don't understand why it seems to always have to happen to us--For those who are experiencing those moments right now, we ask that You place a "Yet Praise" in their spirit. Help us to know the more we praise You, the more our mind is on You, the more we can expect Your perfect peace. Father, help us to remember our song today, the song that reminds us of how good You are and how special we are to You, and give us the strength to sing, hum, whistle or play that song throughout this day. Lord we thank You in advance for the victory today and we declare by faith, today is the first day of the best days of our lives, in Jesus Name, Amen.

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER
Good morning Lord! It's another Monday morning and instead of complaining, we'll just say, "Thank You Lord for blessing us to see another day!" It's Monday and instead of fussing about having to go to work, we'll just say, "Thank You Lord for blessing us with a job!" Lord, for those who have the "Monday blues" help them to remember every day is a day of thanksgiving; Because everyday You bless us with new mercy. Everyday You shower us with Your grace. Everyday You look beyond our faults and bless us anyway. So, with our hands lifted up, mouths filled with praise and hearts of thanksgiving, we bless You O Lord! Help us this day to appreciate life. There may be some things that happen today that we don't appreciate, but help us to rejoice in the Lord anyway, believing it's all good because You said so. Help us this day to look around and see the natural beauty pictures You have painted for us. Help us breathe in and out and appreciate the air. Our lives may not be all we desire them to be, but we thank You for giving us this life to live. Help us live this day remembering we represent You and there are people in our lives who need to see You shining through us. We pray for all our loved ones and friends, and especially for little Brandon and Apostle Berry. This is the day that You have made and we purpose in our hearts right now to rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what, in Jesus Name, Amen.

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION
GOD IS NEVER WRONG

A king who did not believe in the goodness of God, had a slave who, in all circumstances would always say, “My king, do not be discouraged, because everything God does is perfect. He makes no mistakes!”

One day they went hunting and along the way a wild animal attacked the king. His slave managed to kill the animal, but could not prevent his majesty from losing a finger.
Furious and without showing his gratitude for being saved, the nobleman asked
"Is God good? If He was good, I would not have been attacked and lost my finger."

The slave replied: "My king, despite all these things, I can only tell you that God is good, and He knows why these things happened. What God does is perfect. He is never wrong!"

Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his slave. Later, the King left for another hunt, this time alone. He was captured by savages who engaged in human sacrifices. On the altar and ready to sacrifice the nobleman, the savages discovered that their victim did not have one of his fingers. According to them, only a whole person with all his/her parts intact could be offered to the gods. The King without a finger was deemed an abominable sacrifice for their gods. So they released the King.

Upon his return to the palace, the King authorized the release of his slave. He received the slave affectionately. He asked his slave, "My dear, God was really good to me! I was almost killed by the wild men, but for lack of a single finger, I was let go! But I have a question: if God is so good, why did he allow me to put you in jail?"

The slave answered, "My King, if I had gone with you on this hunt, I would have been sacrificed instead because I have no missing finger. Remember everything God does is perfect. He is never wrong. He made you keep me in jail so I would not be with you on the hunt."

Often we complain about life, and negative things that happen to us, forgetting that nothing is random and that everything has a purpose. Every morning, offer your day to God, don't be in a rush. Ask God to inspire your thoughts, guide your actions, and ease your feelings. And do not be afraid. God is never wrong!

You know why this message is for you? I do not know, but God knows, because He never makes mistakes....... The path of God and his word is perfect, without impurities. He is the way of all those who trust in Him, as He says in 2 Samuel 22: 31. What you do with this message is up to you. May God put in your heart the desire to send it to someone. God knows why He choose you to receive this message. Please bless someone with it. God is never wrong!

This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it! This is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made! Thank You Lord for blessing us to see another perfect day that You have made. We thank You Lord for waking us in our right mind, a mind to say, "Thank You!" We pray one for another, we pray a special prayer for the Robinson family, praying that each of us will remember today how blessed we truly are; We may not have all that we want, but You have been faithful to Your Word and supplied all of our need. We're blessed, there's no reason to complain. We're blessed, there's no reason to be stressed. We're blessed, there's no reason to put anyone down. We're blessed, there's no reason to hold on to grudges. We're blessed, there's nothing in our past for us, but the benefits are endless in our today. We're blessed because we belong to the Most High God and we have all the reason to smile. We have all the reason to show love one to another. We have all the reason to thank You for all You've done for us. We have all the reason to praise You with the lives we live today. We will rejoice, we will rejoice because You have made us glad!!! We give You praise, hallelujah Jesus!!! We thank You in advance for the victory today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, we thank and praise You for blessing us to see another day. We thank You Lord for yesterday, a day set aside to remember those who fought to protect us and lost their lives doing so; Father, thank You for blessing us with brave men and women willing to fight to protect us. Lord, there are still some who are fighting, still some who are standing at attention watching to make sure we're protected, we ask that You will build a hedge of protection all around them and keep them safe. Lord, it's a new day today, we pray that You will help us live today with excitement. Live today thanking You for another chance to get it right; Another chance to let go of the grudge we've been holding on to; Another chance to treat people the way we want to be treated; Another chance to love without boundaries; Another chance to offer praises to You, not just with our lips but with the lives we live. Lord, You're worthy to be praised, not just on Sunday, but everyday of our lives. Help us to know praising You is not something we pick up and put down, it's not something we do only when we feel like it, it's not something we do because everyone else is doing it; Praising You is a lifestyle and our lives should reflect the One we're praising. We're going forth today speaking words that bring life, thinking thoughts that bring life and in all that we do today, we will do it to your glory. If by chance a situation comes that tempts us to act unbecoming of who we are, remind us who we are because of You, we give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION
I Refuse!

I refuse to be discouraged, To be sad, or to cry;
I refuse to be downhearted, and here's the reason why:
I have a God who's mighty, Who's sovereign and supreme;
I have a God who loves me, and I am on His team.
He is all-wise and powerful. Jesus is His name;
Though everything is changeable, My God remains the same.
My God knows all that's happening; Beginning to the end;
His presence is my comfort; He is my dearest Friend.
When sickness comes to weaken me, To bring my head down low,
I call upon my mighty God; Into His arms I go.
When circumstances threaten to rob me of my peace;
He draws me close unto His breast, Where all my strivings cease.
When my heart melts within me, and weakness takes control;
He gathers me into His arms, He soothes my heart and soul.
The great "I AM" is with me. My life is in His hand.
The "Son of the Lord" is my hope. It's in His strength I stand.
I refuse to be defeated. My eyes are on my God;
He has promised to be with me, As through this life I trod.
I'm looking past all my circumstances, To Heaven's throne above;
My prayers have reached the heart of God I'm resting in His love.
I give God thanks in everything. My eyes are on His face;
The battle's His, the victory mine; He'll help me win the race. Hallelujah!!!!
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!!!!

Father God, we praise You right now because we know You to be an awesome God! We thank You Lord for Your Word. In Your Word You have made us many promises, including we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus Who loves us. Your Word declares to us that we are winners! Although there is so much we don't understand, there may even be some things we don't agree with and wonder why it had to happen to us, but in all and through all we choose to trust the fact that You have already declared we win. Lord, because of Your Word we choose to rejoice in the God of our salvation. We choose to thank You in advance for the victory. We choose to look at our situations and by faith call them good. We choose to use the breath that You have given us to praise You. Today we choose to look past trouble and perceived defeat and see victory. Today we choose to let brotherly love continue. We choose to forgive, even if they don't ask our forgiveness. We choose to keep living through it all, believing the victory is already ours. We choose to declare, in Christ we are new creatures, old things have passed away and You are making all things new. Today is a new day and we choose not to bring yesterdays arguments, disagreements, disappointments, hurt or failure in to today, it's over with and we're moving forward in to the newness of today. We give You praise for another chance to say yes to Your will, another chance to rejoice and be glad in this new day that You have made, in Jesus Name, Amen.

WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER
Good morning Lord!!! We thank You for this new day filled with endless benefits and possibilities. Today we choose to focus on what You said and not what "they" said. You commanded us to have love one to another, You didn't give us the right to choose, You simply said, "Love". Help us to know love is about agreeing to honor and respect, even if it means agreeing to disagree and keep loving. Love is about sharing the light of the Lord everywhere we go, for love is of God and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Your Word tells us to trust You with all our heart and lean not to our own understanding; In all our ways acknowledge You and You will direct our path-- We pray that each one is reminded to talk more to You about decisions. Talk more to You about how to love. Talk more to You about everything, all the time. Father, it's no secret, we need You every second, every minute, every hour of the day. This morning we're praying for Edward Crawford, the brother of Della Ford, as he prepares to go in to surgery. Lord, we thank You for doing it for his mother Monday and we're praising You in advance for doing it for him today. We're also praying for Jenetta Croom Johnson, asking for Your mighty healing touch, draw her closer to You and grant her peace. Father, there is so much going on in our lives and in the lives of the people around us, help us to remember You made today and there is nothing about this day that You cannot handle. There is nothing about today that will take You by surprise. There is nothing about today that will intimidate You or cause You to panic, so it's best we continue to trust You enough to allow You to hold our hands and lead us through whatever today brings. Lord we praise You and we purpose in our hearts right now to rejoice and be glad in this day, in Jesus Name, Amen.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, we humbly bow before You to worship and adore You. We worship You because You are a mighty God and with all Your might You continue to move mightily in our lives. We praise Your Name Lord Jesus because You're our Rock, You're our Fortress, You're our Deliverer, in You O Lord do we trust. Help us Lord to not just say words that sound nice, but give us the wisdom to know trusting You is the best thing we'll ever do. Give us the strength to surrender all to You and the courage to let You deal with all that we have surrendered to You, Your way and in Your time. Help us to know You don't always move in the way we would like for You to move, but You always move in a way that's best for us. Strengthen us to trust Your way and continue to praise our way through. Bless each one who reads this prayer, bless our family and friends and help us all to realize the importance of letting our light shine everywhere we go today, including in our homes. So many of us are struggling with different things and issues, help us to know our struggle becomes greater when we take matters into our own hands, it becomes greater when we fuss, complain and worry; It becomes greater when we don't trust the Great One Who lives in us. Help us to know it may not be easy, but it becomes easier if we just keep singing our song. We all have a different song, but any song that reminds us of what a Friend we have in Jesus, will help us get through today and really that's all we need to do, take one day at a time believing just as You care for the sparrow, You will take care of us. We give You praise, in the Name of Jesus, Amen.
