Changing Face of Compton

fireworks3
Compton is a great place to live, work, and raise a family. It is home to almost 100,000 citizens. Known as the “Hub City” because of its unique position in almost the exact geographical center of Los Angeles County, Compton is strategically located along the Alameda Corridor, a passageway of 25 percent of all U.S. waterborne international trade. Compton is rapidly emerging as a large industrial center in Los Angeles County for transit and distribution, business services, high technology, home and lifestyle products, metals, financial services, and textile manufacturing.

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER:
Our Father, our Lord, our God, our Savior, our Friend; we thank You for waking us this morning with the blessed assurance that we belong to You and everything is good. You are everything we need You to be; we pray each one will allow You to be Who You are in our lives. Help each one to remember You’ve been doing great things since the beginning of time; Your Words alone are powerful and have changed many situations. Help us to remember You’re still speaking, give us the courage to trust Your speaking power and let You speak to our situation. We’re praying for those who are trusting You to move in their situation, give us the strength to keep our hands out, and only do what You assign for us to do. Help us remember our praise is our weapon and the time to praise You is now. You are a mighty God and we praise You for loving us with all Your might. Thank You for the new great things of this day, in Jesus Name, Amen.

WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER:

O Lord, our God, we lift our hands in total praise to You. We know it is in You we live, move, and have our being; all of our help comes from You. We worship You because You are the source of our: strength, peace, joy, love, salvation... without You we couldn't do anything, wouldn't be anything, nor would we have anything -- all glory belongs to You. We thank You for this day of thanksgiving, for we recognize, every day we have breath is a day to be thankful to You. We pray You shine a light on each of us, let us see Your light shining on the gift You gave us; and give us the wisdom and courage to stir up the gift and use it for Your glory. Help us to remember, we can do all things when we know it is Jesus Who gives us strength. We pray the life we live today is pleasing in Your sight and all will know we belong to the Most High God, in Jesus Name, Amen.

BECAUSE OF CALVARY

Our Father in heaven, we thank You for Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace. We thank You for Your ever presence in our life; You’re always there being Who You are to us. We thank You for protecting us yesterday, watching over us throughout the night and for starting us off with new mercy today. We’re grateful for another chance to do what we keep saying we’re going to do. We’re grateful for another chance to take a step in the direction of purpose. We’re grateful for another chance to let go of all distractions, excuses, and reasons—it’s time we trust You with all our heart and stop leaning to our own understanding. It’s time we recognize our way always leads to disaster, but Your way leads to the plan You have for us, which leads to abundant life. We choose Your way, help us to stick to our choice, and get excited about You being glorified in our life. This is the day our faithful God has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it all the day long, no matter what, in Jesus Name, Amen.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER:

O mighty God, we worship You for Who You are in all of Your glory.   We’ve tried many things, we’ve trusted many people; we’ve been disappointed, misunderstood, hurt, and sometimes abused—all of our life experiences have taught us, there is NONE like You!!!    You are the Source of our strength; You are the strength of our life; You are the lifter of our head, the joy in our heart and the peace in our soul.   Thank You for being everything we need You to be; thank You for always loving us unconditionally.   We pray each one desires to love You more…each one desires to worship You more…each one desires to praise You more—not just with our lips, but most importantly with the life we live.   We pray each one desires to be more obedient to You and excited about using the gifts You have placed within us for YOUR GLORY!   We pray  You renew our spirit and help us to have a new determination to be all You designed us to be; and live the abundantly life You came to give us.   We walk on by faith this day, trusting You to order our steps and lead us in Your way.  We pray the smile someone needs today—we be available to smile, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me; Father we bless Your holy Name!   You’ve done great things, you’re doing great things and because You change not, we thank You in advance for continuing to do great things all the days of our life.   As we begin another week, we pray each one purpose in our heart to do better than last week.  We pray each one will commit to being more available for Your use—Father, use us to make it better.   We pray each one’s goal is to grow—grow mentally, physically and most importantly, spiritually.   Touch our heart, open our eyes, and unclogged our ears that we may know, without You there is no life—without You we can’t breathe, we can’t walk, or talk.  You are the reason we live, move and have our being—we pray each one is more convinced we owe You a “noticeable to all” life of worship and praise.  It’s time for us, Your people, to become visible to the world—we can make this world a better place to live.   We pray Your expedient healing touch on Latrice Casiano and TJ Whitfield.  We pray each one knows, today is the first day of the best days of our life, and we purpose in our heart to rejoice and be glad, no matter what.  In Jesus Name, Amen.

Tuesday Morning Prayer:
Our Father in heaven. We thank You for waking us to this new day.  Yesterday we didn't say all we should have said, we didn’t do all we should have done, and in some cases we said and did too much; thank You for Your mercy.  Thank You for loving us through our mistakes, and for reassuring us of Your constant presence when we doubt.   Thank You for never giving up on us and for refusing to let go even when we're wrong.  Your love to us is amazing.   Today is a new day and we thank You for a fresh start and a new beginning.   We're excited about the great new things in store for us today.   We will keep moving forward, determined to be a blessing in all we say and do.  We say "no" to all distractions and "yes" to Your will for our life today.  We declare by faith, today is the first day of the best days of our life, we will rejoice and be glad, in Jesus Name, Amen.

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER:

BECAUSE OF CALVARY

There is none like You. No one else can touch our heart like You do. We can search throughout eternity and still we won’t fine anyone like You. Lord, we praise You for the gift of life. Things may not be as well as we would like them to be, but it is well with our soul because we’re still here to experience it all. We pray each one will show all we come in contact with today how grateful we are to still be here, by glorifying You in our smile, our walk and our talk. We pray each one will pursue peace and know You are for us and that is more than the whole world against us. It’s all good! We’re going forth today letting everyone know, it’s all good because we live, move and have our being in the Great I Am; we have all we need!!! It’s a great new day and we will rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.

WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER:

BECAUSE OF CALVARY

Oh Lord, our God, how excellent is Your love toward us. Your love to us is amazing! Knowing all You know about us, still You give us mercy; You give us chance after chance to be all You designed us to be—all You desire is to be glorified in our life…You desire to be noticeable in our life. We pray one for another, help us to be aware of the fact that, everywhere we go there is someone watching us. What they see in us today may be a matter of life or death, we pray each one displays life. We pray You will be displayed in our walk, our talk and in the way we treat one another. We all have expectations, help us to channel our expectations in the right direction—only You can supply our every need. Help us to know if we trust You, we can always expect great! We pray for all who are hurting, disappointed, feeling betrayed, unable to forgive and walking in their feelings; open eyes of understanding, help us to see, we go through what we go through because we expected “them” to do what only You can do. Our prayer today is, “help us Lord to trust Your love to us more” in Jesus Name, Amen.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER:
We worship Christ our Lord! You are a mighty God and we praise You for being mighty in our life. Thank You for the blessing of this beautiful day! We thank You for the blessing and privilege to still be here. We thank You for air to breathe, beauty to behold and a purpose to pursue. Our life has meaning because we live, move and have our being in You. We pray each one is excited about living, so excited that we will live to be a blessing today. We pray someone will be encouraged by our smile and inspired by our walk. We pray the words we speak and the actions we take will be motivated by our love to You. This is the day our faithful God has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what, in Jesus Name, Amen.

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION:
BECAUSE OF CALVARY

BE UNCOMFORTABLE

What's new today? Or, is it just the same old-same old? It's amazing how, all the days of our life, God has made every day different; not one day has been repeated--God is creative like that! Yet, some are comfortable doing the same old-same old. The dream continues to lay dormant, because doing anything about it would mean doing something different--that's uncomfortable.

Do something different today; do something that makes you uncomfortable. What do you do every day out of habit? Don't do "that" today, be uncomfortable. Who do you just "have" to call every day? Don't call them today, be uncomfortable. Experience being uncomfortable today...tomorrow you will see it didn't kill you.

You have "Creative" living IN you, do something creative today. You don't know what to do? Try your purpose, that's what you were created to do. What is your purpose? You don’t know? Ask your Creator, Who's in position for you to be uncomfortable. God can’t wait to show the world why He created you; when will you trust God?

Think about it, the more comfortable you are, the less you feel creativity is necessary; without creativity, how will anyone know the Creator is at work in you?

To be comfortable or uncomfortable, that is the question.
