O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Thy Name. Your Name is a strong tower. Your Name is above all other names, in fact, one day every knee will bow and tongue confess that You are Lord. We thank You Lord for the blessing and privilege to know there is power in the Name Jesus. There is deliverance in the Name Jesus. There is salvation in the Name Jesus. There is peace in the Name Jesus. There is victory in the Name Jesus. Thank You Lord for blessing us to see another perfect day and with everything that we have, we shout out hallelujah Jesus for the victory today! We declare in the Name of Jesus, no weapon formed against us shall prosper. We will not be distracted by the tricks and schemes of the enemy. We will not allow our minds to play tricks on us. We will not speak negative words or entertain negative thoughts. We will not let yesterday control our today, it's over and we're moving forward. We cancel the plans, schemes and attacks of the enemy against the body of Apostle Berry. This is the day the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it. Thank You for being so good. Thank You for being our friend. Thank You for always making a way. Thank You for being our all in all. Thank You for always giving us a reason to praise You, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to see another day. Lord, no matter how many times we mess up; No matter how many times we do what we said we wouldn't do; No matter how many times we insist on doing things our way; You still remain the same loving, kind, compassionate, merciful God. You still look beyond our faults and see the best in us. You still have a plan for our lives. You still are right there waiting patiently for us to surrender our lives over to You. This morning we say, thank You for being the same yesterday, today and forever. Help us to know although You remain the same, there are still consequences for every action; But, even in the consequences You're right there strengthening our faith and giving us the courage to move forward. Help us this day to stop: Stop trying to figure everything out, stop trying to fix everything and make it right and stop trying to see in to the future. Help us this day to relax and trust You to move on our behalf and give us the courage to speak to our situations and call them, "GOOD". They may not work out the way we want them to, but if You work them out, they will be worked out for our good. We ask a special blessing on the Kim Tucker and Family as they mourned the passing of their brother and son, and we ask this in Jesus Name.We give You praise for this great day, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Good morning O Mighty God! Hallelujah to our reigning King! All praises to our wonderful Savior! We thank You Lord for waking us this morning with our mind focused on You. We thank You for a clear understanding that You are the ONLY true and living God. Father, we thank You for accepting us just as we are, and for loving us so much that You won't let us stay the way we were, but everyday we're growing stronger, better and wiser. We often complain about our situations, but after taking the time to think things over we have to admit, if we never had rain we would never grow; If we never had a problem, we would never know You can solve them. So Lord, we thank You because through all of our situations and circumstances we're learning to love and trust You more; We're learning to lean and depend on Your Word. We pray one for another, asking You to give us the wisdom to seek Your face in every situation and learn to praise You in advance for every victory. Help us to know it's not about how things look to our eyes, but it's about how things are because of our faith in You to always take good care of us. Give us the courage to disregard our feelings and step out on our faith in our all powerful, all wise, everywhere present God. We give You praise in advance for the victory today, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Our Father, Who aren't in heaven, holy You are and holy You'll always be. We thank You for already preparing our daily bread, for already forgiving us for our sins, for already providing a way of escape when temptation comes. We praise You Lord for always going before us, providing, protecting and preparing the right way for us to go. We confess we don't always take the route You provide, but we thank You for always giving us another chance to say yes to Your will. Lord, You're good and Your mercy endures forever, we worship You for Who You are and we thank You for making us who we are --we are beautifully and wonderfully made by the Master Designer, marvelous is Your work! We are great because the Great One lives inside of us! Help us this day to not to complain about anything, but look to praise You in everything. We thank You Lord for the first day of the best days of our lives, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Good morning, led to share the lyrics of, "Dear God"
It feels so good to make it this far And I didn't think I could take it so long
There were days I wanted to quit
I said surely this is it but I held on
And I watched as so called friends turn and walk away It hurt so much I didn't have words to say
But even when my day turns to night and nothin' seems just right
Lord, I thank You for, for my life
For my life, Lord, I thank You For every victory in You I've seen
And all the moments I know it was You who kept me
So I thank You for, for my life
And I watched you take my family from there to here And when times where a lil' rough, God, I know You were near
And the moments I thought I'd fail, I was reminded of your nails
So I held on
And if I never live to see another day There is nothin' I would change or take away
I've had so many ups that they far outweigh my downs
Lord, I thank You for my life
For my life, Lord, I thank You For every victory in You I've seen
And all the moments I know it was You who kept me
So I thank You for, for my life
I realized some didn't make it I could've been one of the ones who lost my way
And there was times, Lord, I knew I almost went crazy
But I'm still here with my life
For my life, Lord, I thank You For every victory in You I've seen
And all the moments I know it was You who kept me
So I thank You for, for my life
It may not be all that I hope for And every dream has not yet been realized
And to see Your face one day, God
I know it's all gonna be worth it
Yeah, yeah
So I thank You, thank You for every mountain, every valley God, everything You brought me through, thank You
I know, I know it was You
Just wanna take the time to say thank You Jesus, for my life
Our Father in heaven, we thank and praise You for blessing us to see another day. You have blessed us to see 361 days in 2011, and every second, every minutue, every hour of each one of those days You have been faithful. You kept Your Word and stayed with us, no matter what. No matter what You extended Your grace and mercy to us. No matter what Your love to us remained unconditional. For 361 days this year, everything we needed Your faithful hand has provided; The fact of the matter is all of us can multiply 365 x our age and come up with thousands of days that You have remained the same faithful God in our lives. Great is Your faithfulness!! We pray that each one who reads this prayer will recognize how great You are and learn to lean and depend on You for everything. Help us to remember the last time You moved on our behalf and recognize based on Your reputation in our lives, it's time to start shouting right now for every victory we EXPECT to experience. We pray that each one is reminded, without faith it is impossible to please You--FAITH, not whining, fussing, complaining and crying, FAITH moves the hand of God! We trust You Lord and we stand on tip-toe anticipatation expecting the great beginning now. We give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Good morning Lord! O what a beautiful morning it is! Thank You for opening our eyes to see another beautiful day. Wow, 2011 is almost gone and many of us are saying, "Where did the time go?" We've had good times, bad times, happy times, sad times, wasted time and regretful times; There were times we wanted to give up, times we wished would never end, times we should have listened--we could go on and on about yesterdays times, but the fact of the matter is, they're over and done with and it's time to move forward. It's time to let go of yesterday and trust You in our todays. We thank You Lord for 2011, for if it had not been for You we would not have made it. We look to the last days of 2011 and all of 2012 by faith, expecting the GREAT and we're not settling for anything less. We are Our Father's children and nothing the enemy whispers in our ears is believable, because we believe God! We believe in every situation You're right there with us, working all things together for our good. We may experience some tough days, but we thank You in advance for being with us and making those days bearable. We love You Lord! We praise You Lord! We thank You Lord! We bless You Lord! We worship You Lord! We adore You Lord! In Jesus Name, Amen.
Praise the Name of Jesus! You're our Rock! You're our Fortress! You're our Deliverer, in You O Mighty God do we trust! We thank You Lord for blessing us to see another magnificent day, graced with Your presence. Help us this day to remember You're everywhere we go and it makes no sense to not utilize Your ever presence in our lives. It makes no sense to not call on You when the hint of trouble comes. It makes no sense to go through sickness, heartache, pain, disappointment or trouble without seeking Your face and trusting Your deliverance. Lord, this morning we're interceding on the behalf of Charles Crawford, asking that You will move mightily with Your healing touch. We pray one for another, especially Apostle Rebecca Washington Berry, Dr. Claudetta Williams and Dr. Aldina Washington, asking that You will bless each one of us with the touch from You we stand in the need of. We thank You Lord because we know whatever we need, You can provide. We thank You Lord because we know, even if You don't move in our lives the way we ask, it does not mean You can't, it means it's best. Give us the courage to always trust You enough to know You're always working all things together for our good, and if it's for our good it's what's best for us. Strengthen us to truly trust You more and more each day of our lives. It's a beautiful day today and we will rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Good morning Lord! We thank You for waking us this morning and reminding us of how great You are. Lord, we thank You for letting us know You are holy, faithful, righteous, loving, kind, and compassionate; Many of us have searched all over the world looking for the best, looking for completeness, looking for happiness, looking for peace, looking for contentment ---but the only thing we have found is there is NONE like You! Father, we thank You for loving us with everything that You are, we pray that each one who reads this prayer will commit to surrendering their lives to You and trust You enough to love You with heart, mind and soul. We ask for special prayer for Mother Mercedes Snowden. Help us to trust You enough to say, "I'm Yours Lord, everything I am, everything I'm not; I'm Yours and I'm available to be used by You". On this 4th day of the new year, some of us are slipping back into our old patterns of 2011 after saying, "I'm not going back", help us to know, the change does not come with the new year, the change has to begin within us. The change comes with a made up mind, a will to move forward and wisdom to call on You every time we think about going back. Strengthen our understanding so we know, our desire may be to move forward, but the enemy likes it better when we remain where we are; Hence, distractions will come, but we're thankful to You because greater is He Who lives in us, than he who lives in the world. Victory belongs to us today, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Our Father, we thank You for blessing us to see another beautiful day. We thank You for waking us in our right mind--a mind to worship and praise the only true and living God. We thank You for providing our every need. We thank You for family and friends. We thank You for the things we call good and for the things we perceive to be bad, because all in all You work everything together for our good. It's a great day today and we pray one for another asking that You will give us the strength and courage to press past negativity. Negativity slows us down and causes us to be distracted. Negativity plays a big role in getting us to forget who we are and act in ways that are not becoming to children of the Most High God. Help us Lord to listen to Your voice in every situation and be careful to do as You say. Father, help us to love ourselves more and not insist on staying where we're not wanted, hanging where we're not respected or accepting treatment that we don't deserve. We are Designer's Originals, we're one of a kind. You loved us so much that You created only one of us and we're uniquely, beautifully and wonderfully made. God, You have done great things in our lives, help us to know You will continue to do as You always have, so it is not necessary for us to settle for any person, place or thing; But, it is ours to keep looking ahead dismissing negativity and expecting greatness. We give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.
An old fable that has been passed down for generations tells about an elderly man who was traveling with a boy and a donkey. As they walked through a village, the man was leading the donkey and the boy was walking behind. The townspeople said the old man was a fool for not riding, so to please them he climbed up on the animal’s back. When they came to the next village, the people said the old man was cruel to let the child walk while he enjoyed the ride. So, to please them, he got off and set the boy on the animal’s back and continued on his way. In the third village, people accused the child of being lazy for making the old man walk, and the suggestion was made that they both ride. So the man climbed on and they set off again. In the fourth village, the townspeople were indignant at the cruelty to the donkey because he was made to carry two people. The frustrated man was last seen carrying the donkey down the road.
We smile, but this story makes a good point: We can’t please everybody, and if we try we end up carrying a heavy burden. Well-meaning Christians may offer us advice, and much of it is valuable. But when we try to do everything other believers want us to do, we can easily become frustrated and confused. That’s why we need to remember that the One we must please above all others is Christ. And we do that by obeying God’s Word.
Carried any donkeys lately? You don’t have to if you’re trying to please Jesus.
Our Father in heaven, we thank and praise You for blessing us to see another beautiful day. Father, right now we choose to begin this day "With God"and we choose to go throughout this day "With God". "With God" though things may seem impossible, you make all things possible. Help us to remember today no matter what comes our way and no matter who is against us, because You're with us, it's more than the whole world against us. With You we can smile while others are wearing a frown. With You we can take a deep breath and forget the one who cuts us off on the freeway. With You we can have patience with the one who normally works our nerves. With You we can work without stress. With You our speech will be seasoned with grace. With You a song of praise will always be in our hearts and on our lips. With You we can conquer anything, so we begin this day thanking You in advance for a victorious day! We're rejoicing and being glad in this day because we know You're with us and that means all things are possible if we would only believe. We love You Lord and we thank You for this great day filled with Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace. We give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Lord, we praise You! We worship You! We adore You! We bless You! We lift up and magnify Your holy and righteous Name! We confess You are the only true and living God and You deserve all that we have left. We may be weak and not feeling well, but we still have some praise left. We may be down and out, but we still have some praise left. We may be broke and not know how we're going to make ends meet, but we still have some praise left. We may be lonely and sad, but we still have some praise left. God, we have some praise left because we believe whatever our situation is, You're working all things together for good, so by faith we shout out, "Hallelujah Jesus!!!" Thank You for breath to still praise Your Name in the middle of our situations. Lord, You made this day so we trust You and believe all things presented to us in this day will not catch You by surprise, and You already have the answer. So, beginning now we're praising You, we're rejoicing and we're determined to be glad all day today, all because we serve the Great I Am, and You're with us no matter what. We win, we're victorious, we're more than conquerors, in Jesus Name, Amen.
O Lord, our God, how excellent is Your Name in all the earth! From the rising of the sun until the going down of the same Your Name is to be praised! So we woke up this morning with our minds stayed on You, hallelujah Jesus! Thank You Lord for blessing us to see another perfect day. We thank You for all of life's lessons that come with each day. Some of us are hard headed and have to go over lessons more than once, but we thank You because after all of the lessons, we're learning to pass the test; And, after each test we have a testimony. Give us the courage to not be stingy with our testimonies, but instead realize You blessed us with the testimony to help someone else get through their lessons and pass their test. This morning we're specifically praying for Fred Jingles, Terry Wheeler and Saniya Jones, each one is laying in the hospital bed for different reasons, but we thank You Lord because no matter what the issue, You are the Specializer. We also a special blessing on the wife of Dr. Nathan Berry, Bro. Greg Robinson, Sis. Theodora Cade and Mother Mercedes Snowden, last but foremost dear Jesus, touch Apostle Rebecca Washington-Berry and Bishop Eldoris Bonner. We're asking for a mighty move from You, in the Name of Jesus. Bless each one who reads this prayer, give us a clean heart and renew a right spirit within us. Help us to know there is something in all of us that needs to come out and be a blessing to someone. Let today be the day we share Your love to us with someone in desperate need of a touch from You. We give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to see today, another day that we have never seen before. It's a new day, filled with new mercy. It's a new day filled with endless possibilities. It's a new day and we're blessed to have a new chance to say yes to Your will. Bless each one to have a new praise in our hearts, determined to offer praise to the Most High God, no matter what. Help us to realize everything that happened yesterday is old and to continue to dwell on it is wasted time and energy. Give us the courage to trust You in all things, believing You make all things new. We thank You for new peace. We thank You for new love. We thank You for new relationships. We thank You for new healing. We thank You for new finances. We thank You for new forgiveness. We thank You for new courage. We thank You for new determination. We thank You for new visions. We thank You for new attitudes. Thank You Lord for moving mightily in each of our lives and for opening our eyes to see, You are working all things together for our good. It's a great day today and we're determined to rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Good morning Lord! Thank You for waking us to see another day. Right now we're thinking about You promised to never leave us. We're thinking about You telling us, in this world we shall have tribulation, but we could be of good cheer because You have already overcome them all. We're thinking about You telling us to take no thought for tomorrow, but instead seek first the Kingdom of God and You will take care of us. There are so many things You told us in Your Word, but oh what needless pains we bear all because we don't trust what You've said. Help us this day to trust what You've already told us, then talk back to You using Your Word, expecting a mighty move from You in our lives. Give us the courage to praise, instead of complaining; Pray instead of whining; Worship You instead of worrying. Help us to remember You're with us always; You've already overcome what we're going through and You will take care of us through it all. So really, all that's left for us to do is speak life into our situations, encourage ourselves in the Lord, and rejoice and be glad in this day that You made, we give You praise in Jesus Name, Amen.
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for waking us to see another perfect day. We thank You for life, health and strength. We thank You for giving us Your Word and blessing us to have a relationship with the only true and living God, Who always keeps His Word. We pray one for another, praying that each one will be drawn to Your Word and see the importance of a closer walk with You. Bless each one to know the more time we spend talking to You, the less time we'll spend depending on others advice. The more time we spend talking to You, the less time we'll spend bending over backwards trying to please man. The more time we spend talking to You, the less time we'll spend changing who we are to satisfy someone else. The more time we spend talking to You, the less time we'll spend whining and complaining. Help us to know You are a loving, compassionate God and You're not interested in the formality of prayer, but we can talk to You on our knees, we can talk to You in the shower, we can talk to You while we're driving, we can talk to You while we're walking, we can always talk to You anytime, anywhere about everything; AND we KNOW You're always available to listen, hear and answer our prayers. Lord, we love You for being that kind of friend! We thank You in advance for this great day filled with victory after victory, in Jesus Name, Amen.
I want to thank You for what you have already done. I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until I feel better or things look better; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until people say they are sorry or until they stop talking about me; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears ; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves; I am going to thank you right now. I am not going to wait until the children are asleep and the house is quiet; I am going to thank you right now. I am not going to wait until I get promoted at work or until I get the job; I am going to thank you right now. I am not going to wait until I understand every experience in my life that has caused me pain or grief; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or the challenges are removed; I am thanking you right now.
I am thanking you because I am alive. I am thanking you because I made it through the day's difficulties. I am thanking you because I have walked around the obstacles. I am thanking you because I have the ability and the opportunity to do more and do better. I'm thanking you because FATHER, YOU haven't given up on me.
Good morning Lord! Thank You for doing it again! You woke us up early this morning, again. You provided us with shelter, food and clothing, again. You blessed us with the activity of our limbs, again. You kept our family and friends safe, again. You graced us with Your loving presence in our lives, again. We are the recipients of brand new mercy, again. Over and over and over, You keep doing great things for us, so again Lord we just want to say, "Thank You!" It's Monday and many of us don't want to get up and go to work, but instead of grumbling and complaining, we'll say, "Thank You!" We pray one for another, asking that You will bless each one to remember how blessed we are; We don't have everything we want, but You have provided everything we need. You have been faithful all the days of our lives and we trust You to continue to be faithful, because You're GREAT like that! Help us today to be more like You: More loving, more kind, more respectful, more gracious, more forgiving, more compassionate, more patient. We're determined not to settle for now, but we look to "new" great things every day of our lives, because You're GREAT like that! We serve an awesome God and we thank You because You love to share Your "awesomeness" with us!! It's a great day today and we're rejoicing and being glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Our Father, we love You, we praise You, we adore You, we worship You and we thank You for the blessing and privilege to be here one more day. Help us to know there is a reason we're still here and the reason is not to grumble, fuss and complain. The reason is not to hold on to past disagreements, past hurt, past mistakes, past failures or past successes. But, the reason is to worship and praise our God by being who You created us to be and living a life that points to You saying, "How Great Thou Art." We're praying that each one knows, for some we are the only Bible they will read and it's up to us to draw attention to You. Your Word says, "By this shall all men know we are Your disciples, if we have love one to another." Today we're praying for a conscious "love effort". We could retaliate, but instead we will love. We could cuss back, but instead we will love. We could spread rumors, but instead we will love. We could turn our head to keep from speaking, but instead we will love. We will love because You first loved us and You continue to do so, no matter what. Thank You Lord for Your unconditional love! We give You praise in advance for the victory today, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Lord, we thank and praise You for opening our eyes to see another day. We thank You Lord for opening our eyes to see that You are an awesome God. It's because of You the birds are still singing. It's because of You the wind is still blowing. It's because of You the sun is still shining. It's because of You the rain is still falling. It's because of You the clouds are still occupying their space in the sky. It's because of You the trees and grass are still growing. You are the maker and sustainer of all life and we give You praise this morning for speaking to us and saying, "LIVE!" We're still here because of the words You spoke, help us to know we have You in us and our words are also powerful; Therefore, we speak life into our lives. We cast down every negative thought and we call out victory in all that we do. Bless each one to have a praying, praising spirit, believing all things are possible if we would just believe Who our God is and who we are because of our God. We are more than conquerors! We are blessed in the city and blessed in the fields. We are the head and not the toe. We are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus! We are our Father's children and we win!! This is the day that the Lord has made, we're rejoicing and being glad in it!!!! Thank You Lord for the victory today, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Good morning O Mighty God! It's another beautiful day that You have made and we're thankful to You for blessing us to still be here. Lord we thank You for Your loving kindness and tender mercy. Lord, for our sin we ask that You will forgive us and give us the courage to forgive ourselves. Help us to know nothing we do will ever catch You by surprise, in fact, You love us so much that You always already have a plan to work all that we do together for our good. Bless each one to know praising You should be first on our list always, for it is in You that we live, move and have our being. Without You we would be nothing, could do nothing, would know nothing and wouldn't have anything to live for. You are the source of our strength and the strength of our lives, we owe You the praise, always. We thank You Lord for always supplying our every need. Today we will concentrate on how blessed we are to have You in our lives. We will not speak negative, nor will we allow others to speak negative to us. We're putting the past behind us and pressing our way forward, recognizing it's not always easy to press forward, but WITH God all things are possible. Today we're looking at all situations and believing all things are possible. We praise You because we are victors and we're going forth with our heads high, our chest stuck out and our steps ordered by the Most High God. We ask that you would remember Apostle Berry and she guides Bishop Bonner through these few days and she prepares for what you have already fixed for her, we are also asking that you remember Bishop Ronald Stovall as he waits to consult with the specialist regarding his condition. We thank You in advance for making all things possible today and for giving us a smile to share with everyone we meet, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to see another beautiful day. We thank You for our life, health and strength. Most importantly we thank You for drawing us to You and letting us know how much You love us. We thank You for using us to be a witness for how great You are. We thank You for the many test and trials we have experienced in our lives, for You have turned the test in to testimonies. We pray one for another asking that we not be ashamed to share our testimony, for it is our testimony that let's the world know, it was Nobody But Jesus! Help us to praise You more during the test believing bragging rights are on the way. You are the Great Provider and we should brag about it. You are the Great Healer and we should brag about it. You are the Great Comforter and Peacemaker and we should brag about it. You are the Great I Am and we should brag about it. You have always been everything we need, when we needed it, so based on what we've bragged about You in the past, we're praising You right now for future bragging rights. This morning we're praying for Kyria LeFlore and family asking that You continue to be their Comforter, give them the strength to praise You in the midst of their hurt and believe You always do what's best. We thank You Lord for this beautiful victorious day. We thank You for moving mightily in our lives and for giving us a praying, praising spirit, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Our Father in heaven, we thank and praise You for another day of life. We thank You Lord because Your mercy endures forever! We thank You Lord because You're good all the time and all the time You are good! We thank You Lord for resting on our hearts like the dew in the morning. Lord, we thank You for Your Word and for the songs You have inspired men and women to write/sing to remind us of Your faithfulness. We thank You Lord for the song You have placed in our heart to make it through tough times. We thank You for the song that wakes up the joy in our hearts early in the morning. We thank You for the melody that carries our smile throughout the day. You have given us everything we need to survive, forgive us for making excuses to do things our way. This morning we're praying for each eye that reads this prayer, help us to surrender all to You and trust You to lead, guide and direct our path. Yes, sometimes we think we know it all, we even think we know what's best for us; Lord, help us to remember, we see now, but You see the future and You always know what's best for us, help us to trust You. Give us the strength and courage to sew seeds of love today. Season our speech with grace and help us to know, just because we can say it, doesn't mean we should say it. Thank You Lord for being the Source of our strength and the strength of our lives, we lift our hands in total praise to You, in Jesus Name, Amen.
O Lord, we praise You! We worship and adore You! We lift up Your Holy and Righteous Name, for truly, most certainly, without a doubt You are the only true and living God and You alone are worthy of our worship and all of the praise. There is none like You and we thank You for loving us unconditionally always. We thank You for the ability to breathe in and out, and the mere fact that we have breath lets us know, it's time to praise You! For, without You we couldn't breathe. Without You we couldn't communicate. Without You we couldn't give or receive love. Without You we wouldn't be able to be who You created us to be. Lord, we thank You that we don't have to go through life without You, but just as You promised, You're always there, no matter what. We begin this day with the complete understanding that You're with us, and because You're with us there is nothing about this day that we can't handle, because with You all things are possible. God, we thank You that everything we put our hands to do today shall prosper. Every word we speak shall encourage, edify or be a blessing to someone else. The path that we walk shall be ordered by You and we shall come through victorious. We will not cuss anyone out, put anyone down, talk bad about anyone, stir up the mess from the past, roll our eyes or smack our lips, but we will show love one to another, be patient with one another, listen to one another, help where we can help and back off where we need to back off. It's a good day today, and we're rejoicing and being glad because our attitude determines our altitude, we give You praise, 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 Lord do we trust! We love You Lord! We bless You Lord! We thank You Lord for waking us this morning with an attitude of praise. So often we take days for granted, but not today, today we are making a special effort to say, thank You! We thank You for our life, health and strength. We thank You because we know things may not be as they should be or what we would like them to be, but they could be so much worse. It's a good day to give thanks unto the Most High God and sing praises to Your Name! Thank You Lord! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! We're not asking for anything this morning, we're just thanking You for all You've done for us! We bless Your Name God and we look forward to thanking You throughout this day for Your goodness, kindness, mercy, grace, faithfulness, love, peace, joy, provision and protection. You are a mighty God and we thank You for being mighty in our lives, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Good morning Lord! We worship You O Mighty God, there is none like You. We worship You O Prince of Peace, that is what we desire to do. We give You praise because You are our righteousness. We'll pay the price, such a small sacrifice to worship You. Father, our desire is that the words of our mouth be acceptable in Thy sight, and that You will continue to work on our hearts until we mean every word we say. Lord, it's easy to say we love You, it's easy to say we worship You, it's easy to say Your praise shall continually be in our mouth, but God we want to mean it from our hearts in the good times as well as the bad times. We want to trust You when our eyes can see no way out. We want to love You when we don't feel loved. We desire a closer relationship with You, help us Lord. Help us to lean and depend on You. Help us to talk to You about everything, all the time. Help us to pay attention to Your voice and be quick to do just as You say. You've given us another chance today to be better and do better, so right now by faith we say, we will be better and we will do better. We will not be distracted by the tricks and schemes of the enemy. We will stay on course, we will speak positive words and dismiss negative thoughts. We will find some time today to read a verse of Scripture, we will find some time to say, "thank You Lord", we will find some time to pray for someone else. We declare by faith today is a better day than yesterday and we praise You for making all things new. It's a new day and we are determined to rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what. Thank You Jesus for a life filled with Your love, in Jesus Name, Amen.
The song, "Be Grateful" is ringing in my ears, in particular the words, "Be grateful, because there's someone else who's worse off then you. Be grateful, because there's someone else who would love to be in your shoes." Week after week we complain about going to work, we complain about going to school, we complain about having to run errands, we complain about not having anything to do, but when Friday comes it's, "Thank God It's Friday!" or "TGIF!"
We mess up our (own) days by having the wrong attitude. If all we have to look forward to in a week is Friday, we're in sad shape. If all we have to be grateful for is sleeping in on Saturday, O, what a shame. Everyday is a blessing from God and everyday we should be excited about God giving us another chance to live, another chance to draw closer to Him, another chance to be who He created us to be, another chance to be a blessing to someone else. I know, I know, save the preaching for Sunday, right? Just for a moment, think about it, there are so many who would love to get up and go to work. So many who would love to go to school, run errands, clean the house---would trade places with us in a heartbeat! Right?
Today is a good day, not because it's Friday, but because it's another day of life! Our life may not be like his or hers, but we're living, be glad about it! It's another days journey, be glad about it!! God has given us health and strength, be glad about it! He's given us food to eat, be glad about it! He's provided transportation, be glad about it! He's given us family and friends, be glad about it! He continues to provide for us, be glad about it! Then, when you wake up tomorrow and the next day, do it all over again, be glad about it! TGIS! TGIS! TGIM! TGIT! TGIW! TGIT! TGIF! Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to see today. Thank You for smiling on us with Your unconditional love. We're going forth today excited about Your love to us! We're not complaining about anything and we're praising You for everything. Thank You Lord for today, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Our Father in heaven, Lord we thank You for waking us to see the breaking of a brand new day. We thank You for a wonderful weekend, and we look forward to a great week. Father, we're praying for the family of Whitney Houston, give strength to her mother and daughter. Lord, You know every tear they shed, every moment they grieve, we pray they will be open to Your peace and allow You to comfort them. We pray one for another, asking that You will help us learn to look for the good in one another. We have all sinned and fallen short of Your glory, we may never have done a number of things, but we are guilty of something. Help us not to look down on others for what they've done, but rather remember Jesus is our measuring stick, and You told us to have love one to another. Let us make a special effort today to look for good in each person we meet, a special effort to offer a smile everywhere we go, a special effort to speak to someone we haven't spoken to in a while, a special effort to forgive, a special effort to be respectful, a special effort to let go and live. Let us make a special effort to love ourselves, for we are truly Designer's Originals. We praise You Lord for this beautiful day and we shall make a special effort to rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.
"Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, and bids me at my Father's throne. Make all my wants and wishes known; in seasons of distress and grief, my soul has often found relief, and oft escaped the tempter's snare, by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!" Good morning Lord! Thank You for the privilege to be able to approach Your throne of grace boldly, expecting help in our time of need. You are the Great I Am and we thank You for being everything we need You to be. Father, today is Valentine's Day, and we thank You for showing us You are our Valentine over 2,000 years ago. Greater love has no man than this, that a Man lay down His life for a friend. You did it Lord and we love You! Lord, because You're our Valentine we're smiling today, no flowers, candy, diamonds, steak or lobster could ever compare to Your love to us on a daily basis. Your love is unconditional, You love us when we're right, when we're wrong, when we're obedient, when we're disobedient, and even when we don't love ourselves, thank You! We pray that no one is sad today because they don't have a valentine--For You are our sweet Valentine, always and forever. God, we have tasted and experienced You are good, thank You Lord for being our Valentine today and always. It's a great day today and we will rejoice and be glad in it. Please remember Dr. Mae Anderson and family, especially Yvette who was involved in a serious auto accident, strengthen, heal and deliver, we ask in Jesus Name. And, we give You all praise, all the glory in Jesus Name, Amen.
Thank You Lord. Thank You Lord. Thank You Lord, we just want to thank You Lord. You've been so good! You've been our friend! You've made a way! You've brought us out! You spoke peace in to our situations! You gave us strength to endure heartache and disappointments. You've been so good and we just want to thank You Lord! We lift our hands to worship You. We bow in humble submission to You. We clap our hands and shout hallelujah offering praise to our Almighty God! We thank You Lord for blessing us to see another magnificent day. There are some things we could complain about, but we have so much more to be grateful about, so we'll just say, thank You Lord. We pray for each person who reads this prayer, help us Lord to reach beyond what our eyes can see. Help us to know it's not about what our eyes can see, but it's about how much we can trust You to take us where You're directing us to go. Today is the day to do what we said we would do. Today is the day to say what we keep saying we're going to say. Today is the day to let go of what or who we said we would. Today is the day to stop putting off tomorrow what we can do today. We pray a special prayer for the Oden family as they mourn the passing of their loved one. Father, comfort them and let them know You always keep Your promises, You're with them now and You'll never leave them, grant them peace; remember also the Anderson Family, be the physician that performs the surgery on Yvettte this day in the Name of Jesus, Amen.
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to see another beautiful day. We thank You for our lives, our health and our strength. We thank You for a mind to thank You, the breath to praise You and a heart to worship You. You are the source of our strength and the strength of our lives, we thank You for giving us enough to hold out, enough to continue to praise You, enough to trust You, enough to press our way, enough to believe all things are possible, enough to know You're with us always; And, because You're always with us we always know we have more than enough. Father, this morning we're praying for Sarah Crowell's sister Lucy, asking that You will move mightily with Your healing touch, in the Name of Jesus. One thing we know for sure is, You can!!! Strengthen the family and grant them peace. We pray one for another, asking that You will regulate minds, fix hearts, lift up bowed down heads, comfort the lonely and bereaved. God, we're praying that each one who reads this prayer will have or desire to have a praise on the inside that we refuse to keep to ourselves. Help us to live the life we teach, preach, sing and talk about, and that glorifying You in all we do becomes first in our lives. We're excited about today, believing all things are possible. We purpose in our hearts right now to rejoice and be glad in this day, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Tuesday Morning Prayer - Good morning Lord! We thank God it's Tuesday!!! It doesn't matter what day of the week it is, we're just thankful to see another beautiful day. We're thankful for another chance to say yes to Your will. We're thankful for the privilege to talk to You. We're thankful for the blessing to go forth today being who You created us to be. Because of Who You are we give You glory, we give You praise and we're excited about the blessings this Tuesday holds for us. It's a great day today, thank You Jesus!!! Father, we're praying for Sara Crowell, Michael Lilly and families, asking You to comfort them in their time of bereavement. Lord, although they know their loved one is resting with You, they still must deal with the pain of them not physically being here anymore, so we ask You to move mightily, give them the strength they need to hold on and grant them peace. We pray one for another, also please remember the mother of Sis. Joanna Coles, Yvette Anderson and Pat Gardenshire asking You to bless each one with the blessing they're standing in the need of. Help us to know You are the Great I Am--if healing is what we need, it's in You. If restoration is what we need, it's in You. If deliverance is what we need, it's in You. If guidance is what we need, it's in You. Everything we need, it's already in You, give us the wisdom to come to You, surrender to You and trust You in all that we do How great Thou Art and we give You praise in advance for the victory today, in Jesus Name, Amen. Because of Calvary,

O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Thy Name. Your Name is a strong tower. Your Name is above all other names, in fact, one day every knee will bow and tongue confess that You are Lord. We thank You Lord for the blessing and privilege to know there is power in the Name Jesus. There is deliverance in the Name Jesus. There is salvation in the Name Jesus. There is peace in the Name Jesus. There is victory in the Name Jesus. Thank You Lord for blessing us to see another perfect day and with everything that we have, we shout out hallelujah Jesus for the victory today! We declare in the Name of Jesus, no weapon formed against us shall prosper. We will not be distracted by the tricks and schemes of the enemy. We will not allow our minds to play tricks on us. We will not speak negative words or entertain negative thoughts. We will not let yesterday control our today, it's over and we're moving forward. We cancel the plans, schemes and attacks of the enemy against the body of Apostle Berry. This is the day the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it. Thank You for being so good. Thank You for being our friend. Thank You for always making a way. Thank You for being our all in all. Thank You for always giving us a reason to praise You, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to see another day. Lord, no matter how many times we mess up; No matter how many times we do what we said we wouldn't do; No matter how many times we insist on doing things our way; You still remain the same loving, kind, compassionate, merciful God. You still look beyond our faults and see the best in us. You still have a plan for our lives. You still are right there waiting patiently for us to surrender our lives over to You. This morning we say, thank You for being the same yesterday, today and forever. Help us to know although You remain the same, there are still consequences for every action; But, even in the consequences You're right there strengthening our faith and giving us the courage to move forward. Help us this day to stop: Stop trying to figure everything out, stop trying to fix everything and make it right and stop trying to see in to the future. Help us this day to relax and trust You to move on our behalf and give us the courage to speak to our situations and call them, "GOOD". They may not work out the way we want them to, but if You work them out, they will be worked out for our good. We ask a special blessing on the Kim Tucker and Family as they mourned the passing of their brother and son, and we ask this in Jesus Name.We give You praise for this great day, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Good morning O Mighty God! Hallelujah to our reigning King! All praises to our wonderful Savior! We thank You Lord for waking us this morning with our mind focused on You. We thank You for a clear understanding that You are the ONLY true and living God. Father, we thank You for accepting us just as we are, and for loving us so much that You won't let us stay the way we were, but everyday we're growing stronger, better and wiser. We often complain about our situations, but after taking the time to think things over we have to admit, if we never had rain we would never grow; If we never had a problem, we would never know You can solve them. So Lord, we thank You because through all of our situations and circumstances we're learning to love and trust You more; We're learning to lean and depend on Your Word. We pray one for another, asking You to give us the wisdom to seek Your face in every situation and learn to praise You in advance for every victory. Help us to know it's not about how things look to our eyes, but it's about how things are because of our faith in You to always take good care of us. Give us the courage to disregard our feelings and step out on our faith in our all powerful, all wise, everywhere present God. We give You praise in advance for the victory today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Our Father, Who aren't in heaven, holy You are and holy You'll always be. We thank You for already preparing our daily bread, for already forgiving us for our sins, for already providing a way of escape when temptation comes. We praise You Lord for always going before us, providing, protecting and preparing the right way for us to go. We confess we don't always take the route You provide, but we thank You for always giving us another chance to say yes to Your will. Lord, You're good and Your mercy endures forever, we worship You for Who You are and we thank You for making us who we are --we are beautifully and wonderfully made by the Master Designer, marvelous is Your work! We are great because the Great One lives inside of us! Help us this day to not to complain about anything, but look to praise You in everything. We thank You Lord for the first day of the best days of our lives, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Lord,
We come thanking you so much for all that you have done for us, our families, and our friends.

We know, Lord, that you have seen our challenges, seen our weaknesses, and rejoiced in our successes.
Lord, as you know, we are now coming up on a New Year. Lord, you know that we have made resolutions to change the areas of our lives that need it, and Lord we ask for your strength to help us to make those changes. Lord, we ask for your continued blessings and guidance in the New Year to make us more like you, to walk better in your path, this year.
We ask, Lord, for your continued blessings on those Classmates around us.

Lord, we ask that you would continue to be a presence in all of our lives. Lord, we ask that you give each of us a heart for you and a desire to serve and to give service wherever we can to make this world a better place.

Good morning, led to share the lyrics of, "Dear God"
It feels so good to make it this far
And I didn't think I could take it so long
There were days I wanted to quit
I said surely this is it but I held on
And I watched as so called friends turn and walk away
It hurt so much I didn't have words to say
But even when my day turns to night and nothin' seems just right
Lord, I thank You for, for my life
For my life, Lord, I thank You
For every victory in You I've seen
And all the moments I know it was You who kept me
So I thank You for, for my life
And I watched you take my family from there to here
And when times where a lil' rough, God, I know You were near
And the moments I thought I'd fail, I was reminded of your nails
So I held on
And if I never live to see another day
There is nothin' I would change or take away
I've had so many ups that they far outweigh my downs
Lord, I thank You for my life
For my life, Lord, I thank You
For every victory in You I've seen
And all the moments I know it was You who kept me
So I thank You for, for my life
I realized some didn't make it
I could've been one of the ones who lost my way
And there was times, Lord, I knew I almost went crazy
But I'm still here with my life
For my life, Lord, I thank You
For every victory in You I've seen
And all the moments I know it was You who kept me
So I thank You for, for my life
It may not be all that I hope for
And every dream has not yet been realized
And to see Your face one day, God
I know it's all gonna be worth it
Yeah, yeah
So I thank You, thank You for every mountain, every valley
God, everything You brought me through, thank You
I know, I know it was You
Just wanna take the time to say thank You Jesus, for my life

Our Father in heaven, we thank and praise You for blessing us to see another day. You have blessed us to see 361 days in 2011, and every second, every minutue, every hour of each one of those days You have been faithful. You kept Your Word and stayed with us, no matter what. No matter what You extended Your grace and mercy to us. No matter what Your love to us remained unconditional. For 361 days this year, everything we needed Your faithful hand has provided; The fact of the matter is all of us can multiply 365 x our age and come up with thousands of days that You have remained the same faithful God in our lives. Great is Your faithfulness!! We pray that each one who reads this prayer will recognize how great You are and learn to lean and depend on You for everything. Help us to remember the last time You moved on our behalf and recognize based on Your reputation in our lives, it's time to start shouting right now for every victory we EXPECT to experience. We pray that each one is reminded, without faith it is impossible to please You--FAITH, not whining, fussing, complaining and crying, FAITH moves the hand of God! We trust You Lord and we stand on tip-toe anticipatation expecting the great beginning now. We give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Good morning Lord! O what a beautiful morning it is! Thank You for opening our eyes to see another beautiful day. Wow, 2011 is almost gone and many of us are saying, "Where did the time go?" We've had good times, bad times, happy times, sad times, wasted time and regretful times; There were times we wanted to give up, times we wished would never end, times we should have listened--we could go on and on about yesterdays times, but the fact of the matter is, they're over and done with and it's time to move forward. It's time to let go of yesterday and trust You in our todays. We thank You Lord for 2011, for if it had not been for You we would not have made it. We look to the last days of 2011 and all of 2012 by faith, expecting the GREAT and we're not settling for anything less. We are Our Father's children and nothing the enemy whispers in our ears is believable, because we believe God! We believe in every situation You're right there with us, working all things together for our good. We may experience some tough days, but we thank You in advance for being with us and making those days bearable. We love You Lord! We praise You Lord! We thank You Lord! We bless You Lord! We worship You Lord! We adore You Lord! In Jesus Name, Amen.

Praise the Name of Jesus! You're our Rock! You're our Fortress! You're our Deliverer, in You O Mighty God do we trust! We thank You Lord for blessing us to see another magnificent day, graced with Your presence. Help us this day to remember You're everywhere we go and it makes no sense to not utilize Your ever presence in our lives. It makes no sense to not call on You when the hint of trouble comes. It makes no sense to go through sickness, heartache, pain, disappointment or trouble without seeking Your face and trusting Your deliverance. Lord, this morning we're interceding on the behalf of Charles Crawford, asking that You will move mightily with Your healing touch. We pray one for another, especially Apostle Rebecca Washington Berry, Dr. Claudetta Williams and Dr. Aldina Washington, asking that You will bless each one of us with the touch from You we stand in the need of. We thank You Lord because we know whatever we need, You can provide. We thank You Lord because we know, even if You don't move in our lives the way we ask, it does not mean You can't, it means it's best. Give us the courage to always trust You enough to know You're always working all things together for our good, and if it's for our good it's what's best for us. Strengthen us to truly trust You more and more each day of our lives. It's a beautiful day today and we will rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Good morning Lord! We thank You for waking us this morning and reminding us of how great You are. Lord, we thank You for letting us know You are holy, faithful, righteous, loving, kind, and compassionate; Many of us have searched all over the world looking for the best, looking for completeness, looking for happiness, looking for peace, looking for contentment ---but the only thing we have found is there is NONE like You! Father, we thank You for loving us with everything that You are, we pray that each one who reads this prayer will commit to surrendering their lives to You and trust You enough to love You with heart, mind and soul. We ask for special prayer for Mother Mercedes Snowden. Help us to trust You enough to say, "I'm Yours Lord, everything I am, everything I'm not; I'm Yours and I'm available to be used by You". On this 4th day of the new year, some of us are slipping back into our old patterns of 2011 after saying, "I'm not going back", help us to know, the change does not come with the new year, the change has to begin within us. The change comes with a made up mind, a will to move forward and wisdom to call on You every time we think about going back. Strengthen our understanding so we know, our desire may be to move forward, but the enemy likes it better when we remain where we are; Hence, distractions will come, but we're thankful to You because greater is He Who lives in us, than he who lives in the world. Victory belongs to us today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Our Father, we thank You for blessing us to see another beautiful day. We thank You for waking us in our right mind--a mind to worship and praise the only true and living God. We thank You for providing our every need. We thank You for family and friends. We thank You for the things we call good and for the things we perceive to be bad, because all in all You work everything together for our good. It's a great day today and we pray one for another asking that You will give us the strength and courage to press past negativity. Negativity slows us down and causes us to be distracted. Negativity plays a big role in getting us to forget who we are and act in ways that are not becoming to children of the Most High God. Help us Lord to listen to Your voice in every situation and be careful to do as You say. Father, help us to love ourselves more and not insist on staying where we're not wanted, hanging where we're not respected or accepting treatment that we don't deserve. We are Designer's Originals, we're one of a kind. You loved us so much that You created only one of us and we're uniquely, beautifully and wonderfully made. God, You have done great things in our lives, help us to know You will continue to do as You always have, so it is not necessary for us to settle for any person, place or thing; But, it is ours to keep looking ahead dismissing negativity and expecting greatness. We give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.

You Can’t Please Everyone
An old fable that has been passed down for generations tells about an elderly man who was traveling with a boy and a donkey. As they walked through a village, the man was leading the donkey and the boy was walking behind. The townspeople said the old man was a fool for not riding, so to please them he climbed up on the animal’s back. When they came to the next village, the people said the old man was cruel to let the child walk while he enjoyed the ride. So, to please them, he got off and set the boy on the animal’s back and continued on his way. In the third village, people accused the child of being lazy for making the old man walk, and the suggestion was made that they both ride. So the man climbed on and they set off again. In the fourth village, the townspeople were indignant at the cruelty to the donkey because he was made to carry two people. The frustrated man was last seen carrying the donkey down the road.
We smile, but this story makes a good point: We can’t please everybody, and if we try we end up carrying a heavy burden. Well-meaning Christians may offer us advice, and much of it is valuable. But when we try to do everything other believers want us to do, we can easily become frustrated and confused. That’s why we need to remember that the One we must please above all others is Christ. And we do that by obeying God’s Word.
Carried any donkeys lately? You don’t have to if you’re trying to please Jesus.

Our Father in heaven, we thank and praise You for blessing us to see another beautiful day. Father, right now we choose to begin this day "With God"and we choose to go throughout this day "With God". "With God" though things may seem impossible, you make all things possible. Help us to remember today no matter what comes our way and no matter who is against us, because You're with us, it's more than the whole world against us. With You we can smile while others are wearing a frown. With You we can take a deep breath and forget the one who cuts us off on the freeway. With You we can have patience with the one who normally works our nerves. With You we can work without stress. With You our speech will be seasoned with grace. With You a song of praise will always be in our hearts and on our lips. With You we can conquer anything, so we begin this day thanking You in advance for a victorious day! We're rejoicing and being glad in this day because we know You're with us and that means all things are possible if we would only believe. We love You Lord and we thank You for this great day filled with Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace. We give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Lord, we praise You! We worship You! We adore You! We bless You! We lift up and magnify Your holy and righteous Name! We confess You are the only true and living God and You deserve all that we have left. We may be weak and not feeling well, but we still have some praise left. We may be down and out, but we still have some praise left. We may be broke and not know how we're going to make ends meet, but we still have some praise left. We may be lonely and sad, but we still have some praise left. God, we have some praise left because we believe whatever our situation is, You're working all things together for good, so by faith we shout out, "Hallelujah Jesus!!!" Thank You for breath to still praise Your Name in the middle of our situations. Lord, You made this day so we trust You and believe all things presented to us in this day will not catch You by surprise, and You already have the answer. So, beginning now we're praising You, we're rejoicing and we're determined to be glad all day today, all because we serve the Great I Am, and You're with us no matter what. We win, we're victorious, we're more than conquerors, in Jesus Name, Amen.

O Lord, our God, how excellent is Your Name in all the earth! From the rising of the sun until the going down of the same Your Name is to be praised! So we woke up this morning with our minds stayed on You, hallelujah Jesus! Thank You Lord for blessing us to see another perfect day. We thank You for all of life's lessons that come with each day. Some of us are hard headed and have to go over lessons more than once, but we thank You because after all of the lessons, we're learning to pass the test; And, after each test we have a testimony. Give us the courage to not be stingy with our testimonies, but instead realize You blessed us with the testimony to help someone else get through their lessons and pass their test. This morning we're specifically praying for Fred Jingles, Terry Wheeler and Saniya Jones, each one is laying in the hospital bed for different reasons, but we thank You Lord because no matter what the issue, You are the Specializer. We also a special blessing on the wife of Dr. Nathan Berry, Bro. Greg Robinson, Sis. Theodora Cade and Mother Mercedes Snowden, last but foremost dear Jesus, touch Apostle Rebecca Washington-Berry and Bishop Eldoris Bonner. We're asking for a mighty move from You, in the Name of Jesus. Bless each one who reads this prayer, give us a clean heart and renew a right spirit within us. Help us to know there is something in all of us that needs to come out and be a blessing to someone. Let today be the day we share Your love to us with someone in desperate need of a touch from You.

Good morning Lord! Thank You for waking us to see another day. Right now we're thinking about You promised to never leave us. We're thinking about You telling us, in this world we shall have tribulation, but we could be of good cheer because You have already overcome them all. We're thinking about You telling us to take no thought for tomorrow, but instead seek first the Kingdom of God and You will take care of us. There are so many things You told us in Your Word, but oh what needless pains we bear all because we don't trust what You've said. Help us this day to trust what You've already told us, then talk back to You using Your Word, expecting a mighty move from You in our lives. Give us the courage to praise, instead of complaining; Pray instead of whining; Worship You instead of worrying. Help us to remember You're with us always; You've already overcome what we're going through and You will take care of us through it all. So really, all that's left for us to do is speak life into our situations, encourage ourselves in the Lord, and rejoice and be glad in this day that You made, we give You praise in Jesus Name, Amen.

Our Father in heaven, we thank You for waking us to see another perfect day. We thank You for life, health and strength. We thank You for giving us Your Word and blessing us to have a relationship with the only true and living God, Who always keeps His Word. We pray one for another, praying that each one will be drawn to Your Word and see the importance of a closer walk with You. Bless each one to know the more time we spend talking to You, the less time we'll spend depending on others advice. The more time we spend talking to You, the less time we'll spend bending over backwards trying to please man. The more time we spend talking to You, the less time we'll spend changing who we are to satisfy someone else. The more time we spend talking to You, the less time we'll spend whining and complaining. Help us to know You are a loving, compassionate God and You're not interested in the formality of prayer, but we can talk to You on our knees, we can talk to You in the shower, we can talk to You while we're driving, we can talk to You while we're walking, we can always talk to You anytime, anywhere about everything; AND we KNOW You're always available to listen, hear and answer our prayers. Lord, we love You for being that kind of friend! We thank You in advance for this great day filled with victory after victory, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Good morning Lord! Thank You for doing it again! You woke us up early this morning, again. You provided us with shelter, food and clothing, again. You blessed us with the activity of our limbs, again. You kept our family and friends safe, again. You graced us with Your loving presence in our lives, again. We are the recipients of brand new mercy, again. Over and over and over, You keep doing great things for us, so again Lord we just want to say, "Thank You!" It's Monday and many of us don't want to get up and go to work, but instead of grumbling and complaining, we'll say, "Thank You!" We pray one for another, asking that You will bless each one to remember how blessed we are; We don't have everything we want, but You have provided everything we need. You have been faithful all the days of our lives and we trust You to continue to be faithful, because You're GREAT like that! Help us today to be more like You: More loving, more kind, more respectful, more gracious, more forgiving, more compassionate, more patient. We're determined not to settle for now, but we look to "new" great things every day of our lives, because You're GREAT like that! We serve an awesome God and we thank You because You love to share Your "awesomeness" with us!! It's a great day today and we're rejoicing and being glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Our Father, we love You, we praise You, we adore You, we worship You and we thank You for the blessing and privilege to be here one more day. Help us to know there is a reason we're still here and the reason is not to grumble, fuss and complain. The reason is not to hold on to past disagreements, past hurt, past mistakes, past failures or past successes. But, the reason is to worship and praise our God by being who You created us to be and living a life that points to You saying, "How Great Thou Art." We're praying that each one knows, for some we are the only Bible they will read and it's up to us to draw attention to You. Your Word says, "By this shall all men know we are Your disciples, if we have love one to another." Today we're praying for a conscious "love effort". We could retaliate, but instead we will love. We could cuss back, but instead we will love. We could spread rumors, but instead we will love. We could turn our head to keep from speaking, but instead we will love. We will love because You first loved us and You continue to do so, no matter what. Thank You Lord for Your unconditional love! We give You praise in advance for the victory today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

It's because of You the wind is still blowing. It's because of You the sun is still shining. It's because of You the rain is still falling. It's because of You the clouds are still occupying their space in the sky. It's because of You the trees and grass are still growing. You are the maker and sustainer of all life and we give You praise this morning for speaking to us and saying, "LIVE!" We're still here because of the words You spoke, help us to know we have You in us and our words are also powerful; Therefore, we speak life into our lives. We cast down every negative thought and we call out victory in all that we do. Bless each one to have a praying, praising spirit, believing all things are possible if we would just believe Who our God is and who we are because of our God. We are more than conquerors! We are blessed in the city and blessed in the fields. We are the head and not the toe. We are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus! We are our Father's children and we win!! This is the day that the Lord has made, we're rejoicing and being glad in it!!!! Thank You Lord for the victory today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Good morning O Mighty God! It's another beautiful day that You have made and we're thankful to You for blessing us to still be here. Lord we thank You for Your loving kindness and tender mercy. Lord, for our sin we ask that You will forgive us and give us the courage to forgive ourselves. Help us to know nothing we do will ever catch You by surprise, in fact, You love us so much that You always already have a plan to work all that we do together for our good. Bless each one to know praising You should be first on our list always, for it is in You that we live, move and have our being. Without You we would be nothing, could do nothing, would know nothing and wouldn't have anything to live for. You are the source of our strength and the strength of our lives, we owe You the praise, always. We thank You Lord for always supplying our every need. Today we will concentrate on how blessed we are to have You in our lives. We will not speak negative, nor will we allow others to speak negative to us. We're putting the past behind us and pressing our way forward, recognizing it's not always easy to press forward, but WITH God all things are possible. Today we're looking at all situations and believing all things are possible. We praise You because we are victors and we're going forth with our heads high, our chest stuck out and our steps ordered by the Most High God. We ask that you would remember Apostle Berry and she guides Bishop Bonner through these few days and she prepares for what you have already fixed for her, we are also asking that you remember Bishop Ronald Stovall as he waits to consult with the specialist regarding his condition. We thank You in advance for making all things possible today and for giving us a smile to share with everyone we meet, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to see another beautiful day. We thank You for our life, health and strength. Most importantly we thank You for drawing us to You and letting us know how much You love us. We thank You for using us to be a witness for how great You are. We thank You for the many test and trials we have experienced in our lives, for You have turned the test in to testimonies. We pray one for another asking that we not be ashamed to share our testimony, for it is our testimony that let's the world know, it was Nobody But Jesus! Help us to praise You more during the test believing bragging rights are on the way. You are the Great Provider and we should brag about it. You are the Great Healer and we should brag about it. You are the Great Comforter and Peacemaker and we should brag about it. You are the Great I Am and we should brag about it. You have always been everything we need, when we needed it, so based on what we've bragged about You in the past, we're praising You right now for future bragging rights. This morning we're praying for Kyria LeFlore and family asking that You continue to be their Comforter, give them the strength to praise You in the midst of their hurt and believe You always do what's best. We thank You Lord for this beautiful victorious day. We thank You for moving mightily in our lives and for giving us a praying, praising spirit, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Our Father in heaven, we thank and praise You for another day of life. We thank You Lord because Your mercy endures forever! We thank You Lord because You're good all the time and all the time You are good! We thank You Lord for resting on our hearts like the dew in the morning. Lord, we thank You for Your Word and for the songs You have inspired men and women to write/sing to remind us of Your faithfulness. We thank You Lord for the song You have placed in our heart to make it through tough times. We thank You for the song that wakes up the joy in our hearts early in the morning. We thank You for the melody that carries our smile throughout the day. You have given us everything we need to survive, forgive us for making excuses to do things our way. This morning we're praying for each eye that reads this prayer, help us to surrender all to You and trust You to lead, guide and direct our path. Yes, sometimes we think we know it all, we even think we know what's best for us; Lord, help us to remember, we see now, but You see the future and You always know what's best for us, help us to trust You. Give us the strength and courage to sew seeds of love today. Season our speech with grace and help us to know, just because we can say it, doesn't mean we should say it. Thank You Lord for being the Source of our strength and the strength of our lives, we lift our hands in total praise to You, in Jesus Name, Amen.

O Lord, we praise You! We worship and adore You! We lift up Your Holy and Righteous Name, for truly, most certainly, without a doubt You are the only true and living God and You alone are worthy of our worship and all of the praise. There is none like You and we thank You for loving us unconditionally always. We thank You for the ability to breathe in and out, and the mere fact that we have breath lets us know, it's time to praise You! For, without You we couldn't breathe. Without You we couldn't communicate. Without You we couldn't give or receive love. Without You we wouldn't be able to be who You created us to be. Lord, we thank You that we don't have to go through life without You, but just as You promised, You're always there, no matter what. We begin this day with the complete understanding that You're with us, and because You're with us there is nothing about this day that we can't handle, because with You all things are possible. God, we thank You that everything we put our hands to do today shall prosper. Every word we speak shall encourage, edify or be a blessing to someone else. The path that we walk shall be ordered by You and we shall come through victorious. We will not cuss anyone out, put anyone down, talk bad about anyone, stir up the mess from the past, roll our eyes or smack our lips, but we will show love one to another, be patient with one another, listen to one another, help where we can help and back off where we need to back off. It's a good day today, and we're rejoicing and being glad because our attitude determines our altitude, we give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.

We thank You Lord for waking us this morning with an attitude of praise. So often we take days for granted, but not today, today we are making a special effort to say, thank You! We thank You for our life, health and strength. We thank You because we know things may not be as they should be or what we would like them to be, but they could be so much worse. It's a good day to give thanks unto the Most High God and sing praises to Your Name! Thank You Lord! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Good morning Lord! We worship You O Mighty God, there is none like You. We worship You O Prince of Peace, that is what we desire to do. We give You praise because You are our righteousness. We'll pay the price, such a small sacrifice to worship You. Father, our desire is that the words of our mouth be acceptable in Thy sight, and that You will continue to work on our hearts until we mean every word we say. Lord, it's easy to say we love You, it's easy to say we worship You, it's easy to say Your praise shall continually be in our mouth, but God we want to mean it from our hearts in the good times as well as the bad times. We want to trust You when our eyes can see no way out. We want to love You when we don't feel loved. We desire a closer relationship with You, help us Lord. Help us to lean and depend on You. Help us to talk to You about everything, all the time. Help us to pay attention to Your voice and be quick to do just as You say. You've given us another chance today to be better and do better, so right now by faith we say, we will be better and we will do better. We will not be distracted by the tricks and schemes of the enemy. We will stay on course, we will speak positive words and dismiss negative thoughts. We will find some time today to read a verse of Scripture, we will find some time to say, "thank You Lord", we will find some time to pray for someone else. We declare by faith today is a better day than yesterday and we praise You for making all things new. It's a new day and we are determined to rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what. Thank You Jesus for a life filled with Your love, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Friday Morning Inspiration by Kimberlyn J.
"TGI . . ."
The song, "Be Grateful" is ringing in my ears, in particular the words, "Be grateful, because there's someone else who's worse off then you. Be grateful, because there's someone else who would love to be in your shoes." Week after week we complain about going to work, we complain about going to school, we complain about having to run errands, we complain about not having anything to do, but when Friday comes it's, "Thank God It's Friday!" or "TGIF!"
We mess up our (own) days by having the wrong attitude. If all we have to look forward to in a week is Friday, we're in sad shape. If all we have to be grateful for is sleeping in on Saturday, O, what a shame. Everyday is a blessing from God and everyday we should be excited about God giving us another chance to live, another chance to draw closer to Him, another chance to be who He created us to be, another chance to be a blessing to someone else. I know, I know, save the preaching for Sunday, right? Just for a moment, think about it, there are so many who would love to get up and go to work. So many who would love to go to school, run errands, clean the house---would trade places with us in a heartbeat! Right?
Today is a good day, not because it's Friday, but because it's another day of life! Our life may not be like his or hers, but we're living, be glad about it! It's another days journey, be glad about it!! God has given us health and strength, be glad about it! He's given us food to eat, be glad about it! He's provided transportation, be glad about it! He's given us family and friends, be glad about it! He continues to provide for us, be glad about it! Then, when you wake up tomorrow and the next day, do it all over again, be glad about it! TGIS! TGIS! TGIM! TGIT! TGIW! TGIT! TGIF!
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to see today. Thank You for smiling on us with Your unconditional love. We're going forth today excited about Your love to us! We're not complaining about anything and we're praising You for everything. Thank You Lord for today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Our Father in heaven, Lord we thank You for waking us to see the breaking of a brand new day. We thank You for a wonderful weekend, and we look forward to a great week. Father, we're praying for the family of Whitney Houston, give strength to her mother and daughter. Lord, You know every tear they shed, every moment they grieve, we pray they will be open to Your peace and allow You to comfort them. We pray one for another, asking that You will help us learn to look for the good in one another. We have all sinned and fallen short of Your glory, we may never have done a number of things, but we are guilty of something. Help us not to look down on others for what they've done, but rather remember Jesus is our measuring stick, and You told us to have love one to another. Let us make a special effort today to look for good in each person we meet, a special effort to offer a smile everywhere we go, a special effort to speak to someone we haven't spoken to in a while, a special effort to forgive, a special effort to be respectful, a special effort to let go and live. Let us make a special effort to love ourselves, for we are truly Designer's Originals. We praise You Lord for this beautiful day and we shall make a special effort to rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.

"Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, and bids me at my Father's throne. Make all my wants and wishes known; in seasons of distress and grief, my soul has often found relief, and oft escaped the tempter's snare, by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!" Good morning Lord! Thank You for the privilege to be able to approach Your throne of grace boldly, expecting help in our time of need. You are the Great I Am and we thank You for being everything we need You to be. Father, today is Valentine's Day, and we thank You for showing us You are our Valentine over 2,000 years ago. Greater love has no man than this, that a Man lay down His life for a friend. You did it Lord and we love You! Lord, because You're our Valentine we're smiling today, no flowers, candy, diamonds, steak or lobster could ever compare to Your love to us on a daily basis. Your love is unconditional, You love us when we're right, when we're wrong, when we're obedient, when we're disobedient, and even when we don't love ourselves, thank You! We pray that no one is sad today because they don't have a valentine--For You are our sweet Valentine, always and forever. God, we have tasted and experienced You are good, thank You Lord for being our Valentine today and always. It's a great day today and we will rejoice and be glad in it. Please remember Dr. Mae Anderson and family, especially Yvette who was involved in a serious auto accident, strengthen, heal and deliver, we ask in Jesus Name. And, we give You all praise, all the glory in Jesus Name, Amen.

Thank You Lord. Thank You Lord. Thank You Lord, we just want to thank You Lord. You've been so good! You've been our friend! You've made a way! You've brought us out! You spoke peace in to our situations! You gave us strength to endure heartache and disappointments. You've been so good and we just want to thank You Lord! We lift our hands to worship You. We bow in humble submission to You. We clap our hands and shout hallelujah offering praise to our Almighty God! We thank You Lord for blessing us to see another magnificent day. There are some things we could complain about, but we have so much more to be grateful about, so we'll just say, thank You Lord. We pray for each person who reads this prayer, help us Lord to reach beyond what our eyes can see. Help us to know it's not about what our eyes can see, but it's about how much we can trust You to take us where You're directing us to go. Today is the day to do what we said we would do. Today is the day to say what we keep saying we're going to say. Today is the day to let go of what or who we said we would. Today is the day to stop putting off tomorrow what we can do today. We pray a special prayer for the Oden family as they mourn the passing of their loved one. Father, comfort them and let them know You always keep Your promises, You're with them now and You'll never leave them, grant them peace; remember also the Anderson Family, be the physician that performs the surgery on Yvettte this day in the Name of Jesus, Amen.
Because of Calvary,

Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to see another beautiful day. We thank You for our lives, our health and our strength. We thank You for a mind to thank You, the breath to praise You and a heart to worship You. You are the source of our strength and the strength of our lives, we thank You for giving us enough to hold out, enough to continue to praise You, enough to trust You, enough to press our way, enough to believe all things are possible, enough to know You're with us always; And, because You're always with us we always know we have more than enough. Father, this morning we're praying for Sarah Crowell's sister Lucy, asking that You will move mightily with Your healing touch, in the Name of Jesus. One thing we know for sure is, You can!!! Strengthen the family and grant them peace. We pray one for another, asking that You will regulate minds, fix hearts, lift up bowed down heads, comfort the lonely and bereaved. God, we're praying that each one who reads this prayer will have or desire to have a praise on the inside that we refuse to keep to ourselves. Help us to live the life we teach, preach, sing and talk about, and that glorifying You in all we do becomes first in our lives. We're excited about today, believing all things are possible. We purpose in our hearts right now to rejoice and be glad in this day, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Tuesday Morning Prayer - Good morning Lord! We thank God it's Tuesday!!! It doesn't matter what day of the week it is, we're just thankful to see another beautiful day. We're thankful for another chance to say yes to Your will. We're thankful for the privilege to talk to You. We're thankful for the blessing to go forth today being who You created us to be. Because of Who You are we give You glory, we give You praise and we're excited about the blessings this Tuesday holds for us. It's a great day today, thank You Jesus!!! Father, we're praying for Sara Crowell, Michael Lilly and families, asking You to comfort them in their time of bereavement. Lord, although they know their loved one is resting with You, they still must deal with the pain of them not physically being here anymore, so we ask You to move mightily, give them the strength they need to hold on and grant them peace. We pray one for another, also please remember the mother of Sis. Joanna Coles, Yvette Anderson and Pat Gardenshire asking You to bless each one with the blessing they're standing in the need of. Help us to know You are the Great I Am--if healing is what we need, it's in You. If restoration is what we need, it's in You. If deliverance is what we need, it's in You. If guidance is what we need, it's in You. Everything we need, it's already in You, give us the wisdom to come to You, surrender to You and trust You in all that we do How great Thou Art and we give You praise in advance for the victory today, in Jesus Name, Amen.
