Our Father in heaven, we thank You for life, health and strength. We thank You for food, clothing and shelter. We thank You for family, friends and enemies. We thank You for providing our every need. Most importantly, we thank You for Your never ending love to us, Your amazing grace and new mercy everyday. Today we will have an attitude of thanksgiving. There are many things we can complain about, but we have so much more to be thankful for; So with our hands lifted up and our mouths filled with praise, with a heart of thanksgiving we will bless You Lord! Lord, when trouble, disappointment, heartache or pain comes today, lead us back to this moment, the moment where we were thankful for all You've done for us, we give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Our Father in heaven, Lord we thank and praise You for blessing us to see another beautiful day. We thank You Lord for the sunshine and we thank You for the rain. We thank You for the heat and we thank You for the cold. We pray each one realizes in order to experience any weather condition, we have to be alive; So, instead of complaining about the weather conditions, we instead thank You for blessing us to still be alive, blessed with another opportunity to say yes to Your will. Blessed with another opportunity to speak to someone we haven't spoken to in a while. Blessed with another opportunity to forgive a wrong-doing. Blessed with another opportunity to walk away from the thing that's holding us back. Blessed with another opportunity to love on purpose. We're blessed, we're blessed, we're blessed!!! Thank You Lord for all of Your many wonderful blessings! This morning we lift Geary Faggett to You, asking that You move mightily with Your healing hand; we also pray for Apostle Rebecca Washington-Berry, Mother Shirley Jackson. We thank You because they know You, they believe Your Word and they expect complete healing. Father, bless each eye that reads this prayer, each ear that hears this prayer with the mighty move from You that we stand in need of; We thank You in advance for doing exceedingly, abundantly above all we ask or think. It's a new day and we declare by faith, something good will happen to us and for us today, we give You praise in Jesus Name, Amen.
PERSPECTIVE One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"
"It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked..
"Oh yeah ," said the son.
"So , tell me , what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered:
"I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.
We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us , they have friends to protect them."
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added , "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.
Appreciate every single thing you have , especially your family and friends!

Because of Calvary, Bishop Willie Williams
The Prayer Ministry
We love You Lord, and we lift our voices to worship You, O Mighty God; Because You are the source of our strength and the strength of our lives. Lord, if it had not been for You allowing us to be on Your side, there is no way we would have made it this far. There is no way we would have a sane mind, love in our hearts and praise on our lips, if it had not been for You refusing to leave us. We thank You for the blessing and privilege to see another beautiful day. Open our eyes to see, this is the day that You have made and You wouldn't make anything You could not handle. Lord, You have blessed each one to be a blessing to someone else, give us the strength and courage to not let the circumstances of this day stop us from being a blessing. Being a blessing does not have to cost us anything, it's a blessing to be able to smile, it's a blessing to be able to wave our hands and say, "good morning", it's a blessing to shake someones hand or render a hug; It's a blessing to be alive and we will use the life that You have blessed us with to offer praises to You. There are so many petty things that cause us to loose focus and become bothered, angered or stubborn; NOT TODAY! Today we will believe Your Word and know our fight is not against flesh and blood--we will forgive, forget and do all we can to stand on Your promises. We will do all we can to let nothing stop us from rejoicing and being glad in this day, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Our Father, we thank You for our life, health and strength. We thank You for the ability to open our mouth and say, "Thank You Jesus!" We thank You for a mind to worship You. We thank You Lord for another day of life, another day of love, another day of freedom. We pray one for another, asking that You will bless each person with the ability to forget about the past and look for Your movement today. Help us to remember there is no life in the past, but there is life more abundantly in our future. We declare today, we're pressing on the upward way, new heights we're gaining everyday. Lord, help us to keep praying, praising and trusting You to plant our feet on higher ground. Higher ground of living. Higher ground of trusting. Higher ground of worship. Higher ground of praise. Higher ground of loving. Higher ground of forgiving. Higher ground of peace. Higher ground of learning to live by faith. We declare by faith, today will be better than yesterday because everyday with You, is sweeter than the day before. It's a great day and we thank You in advance for the many victories we will experience today, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Lord, for waking us up this morning, we thank You. For Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace, we thank You. For Your unconditional love always and forever, we thank You. For being our provider, protector and peace, we worship You. We worship You for being all powerful, all knowing, everywhere present at the same time; We worship You because You are our Sovereign God, and although Your providence is mysterious---You always do all things well! Father, You blessed us with another day of living and we shall live this day leaning, trusting and depending on You. Lord, help us this day to acknowledge You first in all our ways ---no decision, no action will be made until we talk it over with You; Help us to be slow to speak, slow to anger, but always ready to give love one to another. Help us to be real in our dealings and not afraid to do what's right. Lord we love You and our desire is to please You, but often times we allow our "buts" to get in the way. We want to do what's right, "but" . . . We love the Lord, "but" . . . I don't want to hurt you, "but" . . . Father, help us to surrender all of our "buts" to You and declare daily, "I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me." This is the day that the Lord has made, we SHALL rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for another day of living. We thank You for watching over us throughout the night and for touching us with Your finger of love, mercy and grace this morning. Lord, today is a day that You made and because You are perfect in all Your ways we trust the fact that You made this day good and perfect. We trust the fact that You are all knowing and You created this day knowing all that would happen today, so Lord it just makes sense for us to trust You today. It makes sense to lean and depend on You today. It makes sense to acknowledge You (first) in all our ways today. If trouble happens to come, it just makes sense to not panic, nor take matters into our own hands, but instead simply remember You made this day, so there is nothing about this day that You cannot handle. Help us to remember, in the Name of Jesus we have the victory. Lord, strengthen our minds today, if a bad thought happens to pass through, give us the courage to not give it a second thought, but instead declare, "In the Name of Jesus I have the victory!" Help us today to fix our thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Let our desire be to think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. It's a great day today and we will rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to see another day. Lord, we thank You for hearing and answering our prayer on yesterday and we look forward to communicating with You today. We look forward to offering praise to You today, in fact, right now we shout out, hallelujah! We bless the Name of Jesus, for truly You are the Source of our strength and the strength of our lives. We look forward to worshiping You today, for You are an awesome God. Help us to remember, we don't praise and worship You with just our lips, but You're looking to see our praise and worship in the way we live our daily lives. Father, You have always supplied our every need, You have always taken good care of us, You have always looked beyond our faults and gave us unconditional love; Lord, because You have always, it's time for us to be consistent with our obedience to You, consistent with trusting You, consistent with showing all around us that we're in love with You and our love to You will show up in the way we walk and talk. Help us to recognize distractions today and give us the strength to turn to the One Who knows exactly how to handle each distractions. Lord, give us a praying praising spirit and we thank You in advance for perfect peace today. We're not arguing today, we're praising. We're not complaining today, we're praising. We're not doubting today, we praising. We're not gossiping today, we're praising. We shall let nothing stop us from rejoicing and being glad in this day, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Lord, we thank You for blessing us to see another day. We thank You for showering us with brand new mercy and Your never ending love. You have been faithful all the days of our life and for this we give You praise. Lord, we have so much to be thankful for, we pray that each one will take the time to say, "Thank You". Father, it has been requested that we pray for family today, in particular family members who are battling an addiction. Father, we know, no matter what or who the addiction is, there is absolutely nothing too hard for You to do. Lord, as each person who reads this prayer thinks about a family member or friend battling an addiction, we ask that You move mightily in the Name of Jesus. Draw them closer to You, strengthen them where they're weak, and give them the courage to surrender all to You so they may experience victory in Jesus. Father, this prayer goes all over the world, so there are hundreds of people praying for their loved one; We thank You for being everywhere present at the same time, all powerful and all knowing---which lets us know, You can move in each persons life at the same time. Father, we don't know how You're going to do it, we don't know what has to happen in order for You to do it, but we're placing this situation in Your hands, give us the strength to leave it with You and trust You to continue to do all things well. We thank You in advance that many lives will be changed, deliverance will be experienced and brotherly love will continue. Our war cry is, "he is defeated, the devil is defeated, in the Name of Jesus!" Our song is, "In the Name of Jesus, we have the victory! In the Name of Jesus, Satan will have to flee. Oh, tell me who can stand before us when we call on that GREAT Name, Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus, we have the victory!!!!" Thank You Jesus, in Your Name we pray, Amen.
Praise Your Name Lord Jesus. You're our Rock. You're our Fortress. You're our Deliverer, in You oh Lord do we trust. We love You Lord today, because You cared for us in such a special way. We praise You, we lift You up, we magnify Your Name! Lord, we thank You for waking us this morning with songs of worship and praise in our hearts. Truly You are awesome, loving, compassionate, merciful, forgiving, omnipotent---There aren't even words to describe just how great You are; In all Your majesty You continually provide for us. There just isn't anything that You can’t do Lord. We've seen Your work before so we’ll trust You all the more, because You are our sovereign God, bigger than all our problems and every situation. We praise You Lord because there is nothing too hard for our sovereign God! We thank You Lord for blessing us with many, many songs of worship and praise, remind us Lord to use the gifts You have given us. There is no reason for us to be down and out, when You have blessed us with songs to remind us of how great You are; Our situations may not change right away, but just knowing You makes the difference while we're going through. Let each one remember their song today and throughout this day, let us hum, sing, or whistle our song, the song that reminds us of how great You are, how You are always right there with us and how much You love us all the time, no matter what. It's a great day today and we thank You for blessing us with the privilege to live it. We're rejoicing and being glad in this day, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Your heart is breaking Your mind is unclear
Your tired and restless and full of fear
Come to Me-
even if
You say words you shouldn’t
You don’t do things you should
You doubt and try to change,
but never think you could.
Come to Me-
even if
You thought an evil thought
You thought the thought again
You turned the thought to action and now your bound in sin.
Come to Me-
even if
You say “But I knew better, I belong to you”
Child, I am not surprised by anything you do.
I made you in my image I fashioned you with care,
When you cried tears into your pillow, remember I was there.
I have always been and always will I be.
For even when you do those things, you still belong to Me.
Even if you do these things, Oh child, don’t you see?
Even if, even if, you still can come to me.
There is a secret place I have created where you may seek My face,
this place I have for you is called “The Father’s Warm Embrace”
And when I have held you in my arms and rocked you, listening closely to your fears,
I will place you on my lap and wipe away your tears.
Then, I will smile. A smile to let you know I am pleased.
For when you hurt and when you sinned, still- you came to Me.
So, do not draw back from Me My child,
I am Abba Father to you, remember in my word I said -Behold,
I make all things new.
I will forgive you, heal you, restore you,
I will shower you with grace.
I will never turn my back to you, but you will see my face.
On your journey home, when I see you I will run…..
Even if, Even if, My child, even if just come.
(By Darlene Eastes)
God, we thank You for Your faithfulness to us. We thank You for being the only constant we have, friends come and go, family sometimes can't be there, but You're always there no matter what. We love You and we give You praise for this beautiful day, in Jesus Name, Amen.
MONDAY MORNING PRAYER Our Father in heaven, we thank and praise You for blessing us to see another Monday morning. We thank You for a wonderful weekend and we look forward to a victorious week. We begin this week with our hands lifted up, our mouths filled with praise and a heart of thanksgiving -- we're rejoicing because we know You are a mighty God and with all Your might You're working all things together for good in our lives. Help us this day to practice not speaking about anything that happened in the past, but instead declare, "This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!" We can rejoice because You have made available to us peace that surpasses all understanding; We can rejoice because we can taste and see that the Lord is good; We can rejoice because there are weapons being formed all around us, but they will not prosper; We can rejoice because our Savior is the reigning King. Father, You have given us so much to rejoice about, give us the strength to not waste time talking about old news, but instead rejoice because the breaking news today is, You have given us another chance to put the past behind us; Another chance to walk away from our distractions; Another chance to say yes to Your will; Another chance to rejoice and be glad in a new day of living. Thank You Lord in advance for the victory today, in Jesus Name, Amen.
TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER: Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to see another beautiful day. We thank You for our health and strength. We thank You for providing all of our needs. Lord, yesterday things may not have gone the way we would have liked for them to go, but we thank You for stepping in and causing all things to work together for good. We may not see that it is good with our natural eye right now, but with our spiritual eye we're looking through faith and calling it good. Lord, we thank You for Your Word, for in Your Word You promised to take care of us. In Your Word You promised to never leave us; In Your Word You promised that we can always look behind and see Goodness and Mercy following us. In Your Word You promised when our enemy comes against us with full force, You will lift up a standard against him. God, we believe You today and we're standing on Your promises. Lord, You have given us breath, so we will praise the Lord! We're praising You through it all, believing there is a blessing on the other side of through. It's a great day today and we thank You in advance for letting nothing separate us from Your love. We love You Lord, we love You, we love You, in Jesus Name, Amen.
WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER It's another days journey and we're glad about it!! Thank You Lord for opening our eyes to see another beautiful day that You have made. We don't know what this day will bring, but we know Who created today, so today we will trust You in all and through all. Lord, help us today to speak words that will bring life, words of love that will encourage and uplift. We waste so much valuable time speaking words just because we can, we insist on "speaking our mind" just because we can; Help us this day to let our conversation be full of grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that we will know how to respond to each person we speak to. You have blessed us with many means to communicate, telephone, text, email, facebook, skype, etc. --today give us the wisdom to use all that You have blessed us with to Your glory. Help us think before we communicate, ask ourselves, "How will what I communicate bring glory to God?" If the answer is, "It does not", give us the strength to keep it to ourselves. Help us to remember, we represent You and our love to You should be a life that points back to You. Father, You're so worthy of our praise, You're so worthy of our worship, You're so worthy, worthy, worthy! Today we will take the time out to praise You, not just with our lips, but with the lives we live, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Amen, Amen, Amen! Yes Lord, you are truely worthy to be PRAISED! Thank you Lord for your goodness and your mercy and you ever Loving kindness. Thank you for direction, guidance and protection. I repear, LORD, you are truely worthy to be PRAISED!
THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to be a part of one more day. We thank You for Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace. We thank You Lord for always looking out for us, always leading, guiding and directing our path, always loving us, even when we act as if we don't love ourselves. Father, You are an "always" God, the same yesterday, today and forever--we thank You for being the only constant we have. We pray one for another, asking that You will help each one to remember, You've done "it" before and You will do "it" again. If trouble comes, help us to remember You've delivered us before and You will deliver us again. If sickness comes, help us to remember You've healed before and You will heal again. Whatever the problem, You've done "it" before and we should trust You to do it again. We all have different "its", but the great thing about You is, You can handle them ALL, all at the same time. Your Word tells us, In everything give thanks to You, help us to give thanks now, just because You've done "it" before and our victory is in our praise. Help us to know praising You now before we see that You have done "it" again, is our act of faith and You love it when we trust You enough to thank You in advance for the victory. We praise You, we worship You, we adore You and we thank You in advance for a victorious day today, in Jesus Name, Amen.
FRIDAY INSPIRATION AND PRAYER IN GOD WE TRUST
Several years ago, a couple was invited to spend the weekend at the husband's employer's home. The wife was nervous about the weekend. The boss was very wealthy, with a fine home on the waterway, and cars costing more than her house.
The first day and evening went well, and the wife was delighted to have this rare glimpse into how the very wealthy live. The husband's employer was quite generous as a host, and took them to the finest restaurants. The wife knew she would never have the opportunity to indulge in this kind of extravagance again, so was enjoying herself immensely.
As the three of them were about to enter an exclusive restaurant that evening, the boss was walking slightly ahead of the couple. He stopped suddenly, looking down on the pavement for a long, silent moment. The wife wondered if she was supposed to pass him. There was nothing on the ground except a single darkened penny that someone had dropped, and a few cigarette butts Still silent, the man reached down and picked up the penny. He held it up and smiled, then put it in his pocket as if he had found a great treasure. How absurd! What need did this man have for a single penny? Why would he even take the time to stop and pick it up?
Throughout dinner, the entire scene nagged at her. Finally, she could stand it no longer. She casually mentioned that her daughter once had a coin collection, and asked if the penny he had found had been of some value. A smile crept across the man's face as he reached into his pocket for the penny and held it out for her to see. She had seen many pennies before! What was the point of this? 'Look at it.' He said. 'Read what it says.' She read the words ' United States of America '. 'No, not that; read further.' 'One cent?' 'No, keep reading.' 'In God we Trust?' 'Yes!' 'And?' 'And if I trust in God, the name of God is holy, even on a coin. Whenever I find a coin I see that inscription. It is written on every single United States coin, but we never seem to notice it! God drops a message right in front of me telling me to trust Him? Who am I to pass it by? When I see a coin, I pray, I stop to see if my trust IS in God at that moment. I pick the coin up as a response to God; that I do trust in Him. For a short time, at least, I cherish it as if it were gold. I think it is God's way of starting a conversation with me. Lucky for me, God is patient and pennies are plentiful!
Later the wife had this testimony, "When I was out shopping today, I found a penny on the sidewalk. I stopped and picked it up, and realized that I had been worrying and fretting in my mind about things I cannot change. I read the words, 'In God We Trust,' and had to laugh. Yes, God, I get the message. It seems that I have been finding an inordinate number of pennies in the last few months, but then, pennies are plentiful! And, God is patient". Our Father, we thank You Lord for the many simple reminders You give to us to trust You. We pray for Your strength and courage throughout this day so we will remember (even if we don't find a penny), to trust You with all our hearts and lean not to our own understanding; In all our ways acknowledge You first and trust You to direct our paths. We give You praise for a beautiful day, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Great message Bishop Williams, thanks for sharing. Now I have a whole new perspective on the next penny I pick up while on my early morning walk, or stroll in the mall, or along side my grocery cart. Yes, I Trust In God!
AMEN!!I loved the story Bishop Willie, thanks for sharing. It also reminded me of the saying and the story"Pennies from Heaven." God always has a way of getting our attention, one way or the other. God Bless You Bishop and your Ministry!!Love and Blessings, Phoebe
MONDAY MORNING PRAYER Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to see another day. We thank You Lord for our life, health and strength. We thank You for food, clothing and shelter. We thank You for our jobs and means to support ourselves. Thank You Lord for Your unconditional love to us, always. Father, this morning we're praying for Michelle Clark and family as they mourn the passing of their sister. Give them strength to deal with the difficult days ahead and grant them peace. We're continuing to pray for Kaman Richardson, asking that You continue to provide healing to his body. We're also praying for Cora Paige, the mother of Della Ford, as she prepares to go in for surgery this morning. Father, we're thankful for the 93 years You've blessed her to live and we're thanking You in advance for yet another victory in her life. We pray for Apostle Berry, Mercedes Snowden,Stephanie Robinson, Lori Williams and my entire family. Bless each one who reads this prayer with the blessings we stand in the need of. Help us Lord to remember, greater is He Who lives in us, than he who lives in the world. Help us to remember, no matter how great or small, any distraction will do -- anything to cause us to loose focus and concentrate on who or what we can see is a victory for the enemy. Help us to remember, we're in a spiritual warfare and it is not a war that our eyes can see. Help us to remember this battle can't be won with bullets and guns, it can't be won with a "get even spirit", it can't be won by insisting on doing things our way; For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. Help us not to be distracted by what's going on around us in and our lives, but instead purpose in our hearts to rejoice in the God of our salvation, for truly You are the source of our strength and the strength of our life. We lift our hands in total praise to You today, determined to praise You in advance for the victories we shall experience today. We give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.
TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER Our Father in heaven, we humbly bow before You to worship and adore You. We worship You because You are a mighty God and with all Your might You continue to move mightily in our lives. We praise Your Name Lord Jesus because You're our Rock, You're our Fortress, You're our Deliverer, in You O Lord do we trust. Help us Lord to not just say words that sound nice, but give us the wisdom to know trusting You is the best thing we'll ever do. Give us the strength to surrender all to You and the courage to let You deal with all that we have surrendered to You, Your way and in Your time. Help us to know You don't always move in the way we would like for You to move, but You always move in a way that's best for us. Strengthen us to trust Your way and continue to praise our way through. Bless each one who reads this prayer, bless our family and friends and help us all to realize the importance of letting our light shine everywhere we go today, including in our homes. So many of us are struggling with different things and issues, help us to know our struggle becomes greater when we take matters into our own hands, it becomes greater when we fuss, complain and worry; It becomes greater when we don't trust the Great One Who lives in us. Help us to know it may not be easy, but it becomes easier if we just keep singing our song. We all have a different song, but any song that reminds us of what a Friend we have in Jesus, will help us get through today and really that's all we need to do, take one day at a time believing just as You care for the sparrow, You will take care of us. We give You praise, in the Name of Jesus, Amen.
WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER Good morning Lord!!! We thank You for this new day filled with endless benefits and possibilities. Today we choose to focus on what You said and not what "they" said. You commanded us to have love one to another, You didn't give us the right to choose, You simply said, "Love". Help us to know love is about agreeing to honor and respect, even if it means agreeing to disagree and keep loving. Love is about sharing the light of the Lord everywhere we go, for love is of God and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Your Word tells us to trust You with all our heart and lean not to our own understanding; In all our ways acknowledge You and You will direct our path-- We pray that each one is reminded to talk more to You about decisions. Talk more to You about how to love. Talk more to You about everything, all the time. Father, it's no secret, we need You every second, every minute, every hour of the day. This morning we're praying for Edward Crawford, the brother of Della Ford, as he prepares to go in to surgery. Lord, we thank You for doing it for his mother Monday and we're praising You in advance for doing it for him today. We're also praying for Jenetta Croom Johnson, asking for Your mighty healing touch, draw her closer to You and grant her peace. Father, there is so much going on in our lives and in the lives of the people around us, help us to remember You made today and there is nothing about this day that You cannot handle. There is nothing about today that will take You by surprise. There is nothing about today that will intimidate You or cause You to panic, so it's best we continue to trust You enough to allow You to hold our hands and lead us through whatever today brings. Lord we praise You and we purpose in our hearts right now to rejoice and be glad in this day, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Father God, we praise You right now because we know You to be an awesome God! We thank You Lord for Your Word. In Your Word You have made us many promises, including we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus Who loves us. Your Word declares to us that we are winners! Although there is so much we don't understand, there may even be some things we don't agree with and wonder why it had to happen to us, but in all and through all we choose to trust the fact that You have already declared we win. Lord, because of Your Word we choose to rejoice in the God of our salvation. We choose to thank You in advance for the victory. We choose to look at our situations and by faith call them good. We choose to use the breath that You have given us to praise You. Today we choose to look past trouble and perceived defeat and see victory. Today we choose to let brotherly love continue. We choose to forgive, even if they don't ask our forgiveness. We choose to keep living through it all, believing the victory is already ours. We choose to declare, in Christ we are new creatures, old things have passed away and You are making all things new. Today is a new day and we choose not to bring yesterdays arguments, disagreements, disappointments, hurt or failure in to today, it's over with and we're moving forward in to the newness of today. We give You praise for another chance to say yes to Your will, another chance to rejoice and be glad in this new day that You have made, in Jesus Name, Amen.
I refuse to be discouraged, To be sad, or to cry; I refuse to be downhearted, and here's the reason why:
I have a God who's mighty, Who's sovereign and supreme;
I have a God who loves me, and I am on His team.
He is all-wise and powerful. Jesus is His name;
Though everything is changeable, My God remains the same.
My God knows all that's happening; Beginning to the end;
His presence is my comfort; He is my dearest Friend.
When sickness comes to weaken me, To bring my head down low,
I call upon my mighty God; Into His arms I go.
When circumstances threaten to rob me of my peace;
He draws me close unto His breast, Where all my strivings cease.
When my heart melts within me, and weakness takes control;
He gathers me into His arms, He soothes my heart and soul.
The great "I AM" is with me. My life is in His hand.
The "Son of the Lord" is my hope. It's in His strength I stand.
I refuse to be defeated. My eyes are on my God;
He has promised to be with me, As through this life I trod.
I'm looking past all my circumstances, To Heaven's throne above;
My prayers have reached the heart of God I'm resting in His love.
I give God thanks in everything. My eyes are on His face;
The battle's His, the victory mine; He'll help me win the race. Hallelujah!!!!
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!!!!
"Vision is not seeing things as they are, but as they will be..."

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER Our Father in heaven, we thank and praise You for blessing us to see another day. We thank You Lord for yesterday, a day set aside to remember those who fought to protect us and lost their lives doing so; Father, thank You for blessing us with brave men and women willing to fight to protect us. Lord, there are still some who are fighting, still some who are standing at attention watching to make sure we're protected, we ask that You will build a hedge of protection all around them and keep them safe. Lord, it's a new day today, we pray that You will help us live today with excitement. Live today thanking You for another chance to get it right; Another chance to let go of the grudge we've been holding on to; Another chance to treat people the way we want to be treated; Another chance to love without boundaries; Another chance to offer praises to You, not just with our lips but with the lives we live. Lord, You're worthy to be praised, not just on Sunday, but everyday of our lives. Help us to know praising You is not something we pick up and put down, it's not something we do only when we feel like it, it's not something we do because everyone else is doing it; Praising You is a lifestyle and our lives should reflect the One we're praising. We're going forth today speaking words that bring life, thinking thoughts that bring life and in all that we do today, we will do it to your glory. If by chance a situation comes that tempts us to act unbecoming of who we are, remind us who we are because of You, we give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.
This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it! This is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made! Thank You Lord for blessing us to see another perfect day that You have made. We thank You Lord for waking us in our right mind, a mind to say, "Thank You!" We pray one for another, we pray a special prayer for the Robinson family, praying that each of us will remember today how blessed we truly are; We may not have all that we want, but You have been faithful to Your Word and supplied all of our need. We're blessed, there's no reason to complain. We're blessed, there's no reason to be stressed. We're blessed, there's no reason to put anyone down. We're blessed, there's no reason to hold on to grudges. We're blessed, there's nothing in our past for us, but the benefits are endless in our today. We're blessed because we belong to the Most High God and we have all the reason to smile. We have all the reason to show love one to another. We have all the reason to thank You for all You've done for us. We have all the reason to praise You with the lives we live today. We will rejoice, we will rejoice because You have made us glad!!! We give You praise, hallelujah Jesus!!! We thank You in advance for the victory today, in Jesus Name, Amen.
A king who did not believe in the goodness of God, had a slave who, in all circumstances would always say, “My king, do not be discouraged, because everything God does is perfect. He makes no mistakes!”
One day they went hunting and along the way a wild animal attacked the king. His slave managed to kill the animal, but could not prevent his majesty from losing a finger. Furious and without showing his gratitude for being saved, the nobleman asked
"Is God good? If He was good, I would not have been attacked and lost my finger."
The slave replied: "My king, despite all these things, I can only tell you that God is good, and He knows why these things happened. What God does is perfect. He is never wrong!"
Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his slave. Later, the King left for another hunt, this time alone. He was captured by savages who engaged in human sacrifices. On the altar and ready to sacrifice the nobleman, the savages discovered that their victim did not have one of his fingers. According to them, only a whole person with all his/her parts intact could be offered to the gods. The King without a finger was deemed an abominable sacrifice for their gods. So they released the King.
Upon his return to the palace, the King authorized the release of his slave. He received the slave affectionately. He asked his slave, "My dear, God was really good to me! I was almost killed by the wild men, but for lack of a single finger, I was let go! But I have a question: if God is so good, why did he allow me to put you in jail?"
The slave answered, "My King, if I had gone with you on this hunt, I would have been sacrificed instead because I have no missing finger. Remember everything God does is perfect. He is never wrong. He made you keep me in jail so I would not be with you on the hunt."
Often we complain about life, and negative things that happen to us, forgetting that nothing is random and that everything has a purpose. Every morning, offer your day to God, don't be in a rush. Ask God to inspire your thoughts, guide your actions, and ease your feelings. And do not be afraid. God is never wrong!
You know why this message is for you? I do not know, but God knows, because He never makes mistakes....... The path of God and his word is perfect, without impurities. He is the way of all those who trust in Him, as He says in 2 Samuel 22: 31. What you do with this message is up to you. May God put in your heart the desire to send it to someone. God knows why He choose you to receive this message. Please bless someone with it. God is never wrong!

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER Good morning Lord! It's another Monday morning and instead of complaining, we'll just say, "Thank You Lord for blessing us to see another day!" It's Monday and instead of fussing about having to go to work, we'll just say, "Thank You Lord for blessing us with a job!" Lord, for those who have the "Monday blues" help them to remember every day is a day of thanksgiving; Because everyday You bless us with new mercy. Everyday You shower us with Your grace. Everyday You look beyond our faults and bless us anyway. So, with our hands lifted up, mouths filled with praise and hearts of thanksgiving, we bless You O Lord! Help us this day to appreciate life. There may be some things that happen today that we don't appreciate, but help us to rejoice in the Lord anyway, believing it's all good because You said so. Help us this day to look around and see the natural beauty pictures You have painted for us. Help us breathe in and out and appreciate the air. Our lives may not be all we desire them to be, but we thank You for giving us this life to live. Help us live this day remembering we represent You and there are people in our lives who need to see You shining through us. We pray for all our loved ones and friends, and especially for little Brandon and Apostle Berry. This is the day that You have made and we purpose in our hearts right now to rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what, in Jesus Name, Amen.
THANKS, thanks, thanks, Bishop for that prayer and each prayer you send, they're always enlightening and blesses my heart. I know there are others who need prayer and to hear the Word, so I often copy and pass on. God Bless you and yours and continue to do this...it's good!
TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER Our Father in heaven, we thank You for opening our eyes to see another beautiful day. We thank You for waking us in our right mind, a mind to say, "Thank You". We thank You Lord because You have given us food and clothing; We thank You Lord for shelter with all the amenities, it may not be all that we desire, but it is absolutely all we need. We thank You Lord for family and friends, recognizing You have made each one of us unique and sometimes our uniqueness clashes; We ask that You will help us to not get so upset with one another that we stop appreciating each life that You have strategically placed in our lives. You do all things well, including turning the messes we've made in our lives to messages ---messages to remind us that our way may seem right, but Your way is always the best way. Lord, sometimes we don't understand why things have to happen the way they do, we don't understand why it seems to always have to happen to us--For those who are experiencing those moments right now, we ask that You place a "Yet Praise" in their spirit. Help us to know the more we praise You, the more our mind is on You, the more we can expect Your perfect peace. Father, help us to remember our song today, the song that reminds us of how good You are and how special we are to You, and give us the strength to sing, hum, whistle or play that song throughout this day. Lord we thank You in advance for the victory today and we declare by faith, today is the first day of the best days of our lives, in Jesus Name, Amen.
THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER Thank You Lord for waking us to see another beautiful Thursday morning. We thank You Lord for Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace. We thank You Lord for Your ever presence in our lives and for opening our understanding to know, it is in You that we live, move and have our being. Lord, there is no way we could make it without You, the fact of the matter is You are the Source of our strength and the strength of our lives. So, instead of complaining today, we pray that each one will take a look around and see the beauty You have strategically placed in our lives, then lift up our hands in total praise to You. We pray one for another, asking that You will strengthen our ears to hear beyond the trouble, confusion and distractions in our lives; And, let us hear Your voice clearly saying, "I'm working that together for your good." Let us hear Your voice saying, "Lo, I'll be with you always, even through this that you're going through." Bless us to know because You're with us it's time to praise You; Because You're with us it's time to worship You; Because You're with us it's time to shout the victory cheer, "We are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus Who loves us --- we win!!!!" This is the day that You have made, we will rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Begin each day declaring who you are. Who are you? You are created in the image of God. He loves us so much that He breathed a part of Him into us. As we think back on how this world came into existence we must remember, God used His Word, He spoke and it was so . . .
In the morning when I rise, I speak, “it’s a good day today!” · I speak, “It is because of the Lord’s mercies that I’m not consumed, because His compassion's fail not. They are new every morning, great is Thy faithfulness!” (Lam 3:22,23)
· I speak, “Greater is He Who lives in me than he who lives in the world” – (I John 4:4)
· I speak, “No weapon formed against me this day shall prosper” – (Isa 54:17)
· I speak, “I have the peace that surpasses all understanding” – (Phil 4:7)
· I speak, “I am who God says I am, I am more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus Who loves me” – (Rom 8:37)
Wouldn’t you know it, just when I think it’s going to be a great day, a situation comes that has the potential of shaking me, · I speak, “Who shall separate me from the love of God –shall this situation? “No!” (Rom 8:35)
· I speak, “If God be for me, who can be against me!” --(Rom 8:31)
· I speak, “I will trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not to my own understanding” –(Prov 3:5)
· I speak, “This is the day that the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what!” --(Psa 118:24)
It’s lunch time, but my appetite has suddenly vanished, because my troubles have left me sad, worried and doubting if I will ever get to the other side of through · I speak, “The joy of the Lord is my strength” – (Neh 8:10)
· I speak, “Thou will keep me in perfect peace, because I trust God” – (Isa 26:3)
· I speak, “Without faith, it is impossible to please God” – (Heb 11:6)
· I speak, “God, I’m casting all my cares to You, because I know You care” –(I Pet 5:7)
When a disagreement arises with a family member or friend · I speak, “Love is patient, love is kind –I choose love” – (I Cor 13:4-7)
· I speak, “God is not the author of confusion, but of peace” – (I Cor 14:33)
· I speak, “By this shall all me know that we are His disciples, if we have love one to another”
– (Jhn 13:35)
· I speak, “Let brotherly love continue” –(Heb 13:1)
Awe, the night is here and it seems another day has gone by and God has not answered my prayer · I speak, “They that wait upon the Lord, shall renew their strength.” (Isa 40:31)
· I speak, “God, Your thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are Your ways my ways” –(Isa 55:8)
· I speak, “I know, God causes all things to work together for my good” –(Rom 8:28)
· I speak, “God, continue to speak to me while I slumber and sleep”. – (Psa 121:4)
· I speak, “Eyes have not seen, nor ear heard, neither entered into the heart of man, the things God has prepared for me” ---(I Cor 2:9) ---
“So Lord, I speak, “I look forward to tomorrow, the first day of the best days of my life!”
All day long I “speak out” His Word. After all, He gave us His Word to use, so as long as my situation is not bigger than God speaking the heavens and the earth into existence, I believe I’ll use what He used, speak out His Word and expect victory is mine today!
Thank you Bishop Willie for sharing that Friday Morning Inspiration of "SPEAK OUT" with all of us. May God continue to bless you & your Ministry always!!
MONDAY MORNING PRAYER Our Father in heaven, we thank You for the blessing and privilege to see one more day. We thank You Lord for Your new mercy today, the fact of the matter is, all the days of our lives we have experienced new mercy--great is Thy faithfulness! All the days of our lives we have been the recipient of Your unconditional love --great is Thy faithfulness! Hallelujah Jesus, You're worthy to be praised! We lift our hands to praise You Lord and we bow our heads to honor You, because there is none like You! We pray one for another, asking You to help those of us who have memory issues to remember, You are the same yesterday, today and forever more, You change not; And, just as You have always taken good care of us, You will take care of us now. Help us to remember no matter how great our issues may seem to us, You are greater, so it's not time to ignore You and concentrate on our issues, but it's time to praise You in advance for working it out for our good. We’re going forth today believing no weapon formed against us shall prosper. We’re going forth declaring our mind is made up, we are Designer’s Originals and we deserve nothing but the best. We shall not settle for mediocrity, but we’re expecting only the best! We’re going forth declaring our mind is made up, we shall let nothing and no one hinder us from rejoicing and being glad in this great day that You have blessed us to see, we give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.
TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER: Our Father in heaven, we thank You for Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace. We thank You for keeping us throughout the night and waking us this morning to see a brand new day. We thank You Lord for another chance to say yes to Your will. We thank You for another chance to forgive, another chance to let go and allow You to have Your way in our lives. Lord, we pray one for another, praying that we come to the realization that our victory lies in our praise. Help us to know it's an individual thing, we can pray and pray one for another, but it is our faith that will make us whole. Help us to know our faith does not need to be increased; we simply need to use the mountain moving faith we have. Lord, today help us resist the temptation to find fault in someone else; Help us say no to discussing another's business and instead shine the light on ourselves. Help us to see the areas we're lacking in and do something about it. Help us to not give up and say, "I can't" for Your Word tells us we can do all things through Christ Who gives us the strength. Your Word tells us in all things we are more than conquerors "through" Him that loved us. Help us today to go "through" with You Lord and declare by faith, we win! We give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.
WILLIE W. WILLIAMS JR.
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for life, health and strength. We thank You for food, clothing and shelter. We thank You for family, friends and enemies. We thank You for providing our every need. Most importantly, we thank You for Your never ending love to us, Your amazing grace and new mercy everyday. Today we will have an attitude of thanksgiving. There are many things we can complain about, but we have so much more to be thankful for; So with our hands lifted up and our mouths filled with praise, with a heart of thanksgiving we will bless You Lord! Lord, when trouble, disappointment, heartache or pain comes today, lead us back to this moment, the moment where we were thankful for all You've done for us, we give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Our Father in heaven, Lord we thank and praise You for blessing us to see another beautiful day. We thank You Lord for the sunshine and we thank You for the rain. We thank You for the heat and we thank You for the cold. We pray each one realizes in order to experience any weather condition, we have to be alive; So, instead of complaining about the weather conditions, we instead thank You for blessing us to still be alive, blessed with another opportunity to say yes to Your will. Blessed with another opportunity to speak to someone we haven't spoken to in a while. Blessed with another opportunity to forgive a wrong-doing. Blessed with another opportunity to walk away from the thing that's holding us back. Blessed with another opportunity to love on purpose. We're blessed, we're blessed, we're blessed!!! Thank You Lord for all of Your many wonderful blessings! This morning we lift Geary Faggett to You, asking that You move mightily with Your healing hand; we also pray for Apostle Rebecca Washington-Berry, Mother Shirley Jackson. We thank You because they know You, they believe Your Word and they expect complete healing. Father, bless each eye that reads this prayer, each ear that hears this prayer with the mighty move from You that we stand in need of; We thank You in advance for doing exceedingly, abundantly above all we ask or think. It's a new day and we declare by faith, something good will happen to us and for us today, we give You praise in Jesus Name, Amen.

PERSPECTIVE
One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"
"It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked..
"Oh yeah ," said the son.
"So , tell me , what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered:
"I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.
We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us , they have friends to protect them."
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added , "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.
Appreciate every single thing you have , especially your family and friends!

We love You Lord, and we lift our voices to worship You, O Mighty God; Because You are the source of our strength and the strength of our lives. Lord, if it had not been for You allowing us to be on Your side, there is no way we would have made it this far. There is no way we would have a sane mind, love in our hearts and praise on our lips, if it had not been for You refusing to leave us. We thank You for the blessing and privilege to see another beautiful day. Open our eyes to see, this is the day that You have made and You wouldn't make anything You could not handle. Lord, You have blessed each one to be a blessing to someone else, give us the strength and courage to not let the circumstances of this day stop us from being a blessing. Being a blessing does not have to cost us anything, it's a blessing to be able to smile, it's a blessing to be able to wave our hands and say, "good morning", it's a blessing to shake someones hand or render a hug; It's a blessing to be alive and we will use the life that You have blessed us with to offer praises to You. There are so many petty things that cause us to loose focus and become bothered, angered or stubborn; NOT TODAY! Today we will believe Your Word and know our fight is not against flesh and blood--we will forgive, forget and do all we can to stand on Your promises. We will do all we can to let nothing stop us from rejoicing and being glad in this day, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Our Father, we thank You for our life, health and strength. We thank You for the ability to open our mouth and say, "Thank You Jesus!" We thank You for a mind to worship You. We thank You Lord for another day of life, another day of love, another day of freedom. We pray one for another, asking that You will bless each person with the ability to forget about the past and look for Your movement today. Help us to remember there is no life in the past, but there is life more abundantly in our future. We declare today, we're pressing on the upward way, new heights we're gaining everyday. Lord, help us to keep praying, praising and trusting You to plant our feet on higher ground. Higher ground of living. Higher ground of trusting. Higher ground of worship. Higher ground of praise. Higher ground of loving. Higher ground of forgiving. Higher ground of peace. Higher ground of learning to live by faith. We declare by faith, today will be better than yesterday because everyday with You, is sweeter than the day before. It's a great day and we thank You in advance for the many victories we will experience today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Lord, for waking us up this morning, we thank You. For Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace, we thank You. For Your unconditional love always and forever, we thank You. For being our provider, protector and peace, we worship You. We worship You for being all powerful, all knowing, everywhere present at the same time; We worship You because You are our Sovereign God, and although Your providence is mysterious---You always do all things well! Father, You blessed us with another day of living and we shall live this day leaning, trusting and depending on You. Lord, help us this day to acknowledge You first in all our ways ---no decision, no action will be made until we talk it over with You; Help us to be slow to speak, slow to anger, but always ready to give love one to another. Help us to be real in our dealings and not afraid to do what's right. Lord we love You and our desire is to please You, but often times we allow our "buts" to get in the way. We want to do what's right, "but" . . . We love the Lord, "but" . . . I don't want to hurt you, "but" . . . Father, help us to surrender all of our "buts" to You and declare daily, "I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me." This is the day that the Lord has made, we SHALL rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Our Father in heaven, we thank You for another day of living. We thank You for watching over us throughout the night and for touching us with Your finger of love, mercy and grace this morning. Lord, today is a day that You made and because You are perfect in all Your ways we trust the fact that You made this day good and perfect. We trust the fact that You are all knowing and You created this day knowing all that would happen today, so Lord it just makes sense for us to trust You today. It makes sense to lean and depend on You today. It makes sense to acknowledge You (first) in all our ways today. If trouble happens to come, it just makes sense to not panic, nor take matters into our own hands, but instead simply remember You made this day, so there is nothing about this day that You cannot handle. Help us to remember, in the Name of Jesus we have the victory. Lord, strengthen our minds today, if a bad thought happens to pass through, give us the courage to not give it a second thought, but instead declare, "In the Name of Jesus I have the victory!" Help us today to fix our thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Let our desire be to think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. It's a great day today and we will rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Lord, we thank You for blessing us to see another day. We thank You for showering us with brand new mercy and Your never ending love. You have been faithful all the days of our life and for this we give You praise. Lord, we have so much to be thankful for, we pray that each one will take the time to say, "Thank You". Father, it has been requested that we pray for family today, in particular family members who are battling an addiction. Father, we know, no matter what or who the addiction is, there is absolutely nothing too hard for You to do. Lord, as each person who reads this prayer thinks about a family member or friend battling an addiction, we ask that You move mightily in the Name of Jesus. Draw them closer to You, strengthen them where they're weak, and give them the courage to surrender all to You so they may experience victory in Jesus. Father, this prayer goes all over the world, so there are hundreds of people praying for their loved one; We thank You for being everywhere present at the same time, all powerful and all knowing---which lets us know, You can move in each persons life at the same time. Father, we don't know how You're going to do it, we don't know what has to happen in order for You to do it, but we're placing this situation in Your hands, give us the strength to leave it with You and trust You to continue to do all things well. We thank You in advance that many lives will be changed, deliverance will be experienced and brotherly love will continue. Our war cry is, "he is defeated, the devil is defeated, in the Name of Jesus!" Our song is, "In the Name of Jesus, we have the victory! In the Name of Jesus, Satan will have to flee. Oh, tell me who can stand before us when we call on that GREAT Name, Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus, we have the victory!!!!" Thank You Jesus, in Your Name we pray, Amen.

Praise Your Name Lord Jesus. You're our Rock. You're our Fortress. You're our Deliverer, in You oh Lord do we trust. We love You Lord today, because You cared for us in such a special way. We praise You, we lift You up, we magnify Your Name! Lord, we thank You for waking us this morning with songs of worship and praise in our hearts. Truly You are awesome, loving, compassionate, merciful, forgiving, omnipotent---There aren't even words to describe just how great You are; In all Your majesty You continually provide for us. There just isn't anything that You can’t do Lord. We've seen Your work before so we’ll trust You all the more, because You are our sovereign God, bigger than all our problems and every situation. We praise You Lord because there is nothing too hard for our sovereign God! We thank You Lord for blessing us with many, many songs of worship and praise, remind us Lord to use the gifts You have given us. There is no reason for us to be down and out, when You have blessed us with songs to remind us of how great You are; Our situations may not change right away, but just knowing You makes the difference while we're going through. Let each one remember their song today and throughout this day, let us hum, sing, or whistle our song, the song that reminds us of how great You are, how You are always right there with us and how much You love us all the time, no matter what. It's a great day today and we thank You for blessing us with the privilege to live it. We're rejoicing and being glad in this day, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Friday Morning Inspiration and Prayer:
Even If
Your heart is breaking
Your mind is unclear
Your tired and restless and full of fear
Come to Me-
even if
You say words you shouldn’t
You don’t do things you should
You doubt and try to change,
but never think you could.
Come to Me-
even if
You thought an evil thought
You thought the thought again
You turned the thought to action and now your bound in sin.
Come to Me-
even if
You say “But I knew better, I belong to you”
Child, I am not surprised by anything you do.
I made you in my image I fashioned you with care,
When you cried tears into your pillow, remember I was there.
I have always been and always will I be.
For even when you do those things, you still belong to Me.
Even if you do these things, Oh child, don’t you see?
Even if, even if, you still can come to me.
There is a secret place I have created where you may seek My face,
this place I have for you is called “The Father’s Warm Embrace”
And when I have held you in my arms and rocked you, listening closely to your fears,
I will place you on my lap and wipe away your tears.
Then, I will smile. A smile to let you know I am pleased.
For when you hurt and when you sinned, still- you came to Me.
So, do not draw back from Me My child,
I am Abba Father to you, remember in my word I said -Behold,
I make all things new.
I will forgive you, heal you, restore you,
I will shower you with grace.
I will never turn my back to you, but you will see my face.
On your journey home, when I see you I will run…..
Even if, Even if, My child, even if just come.
(By Darlene Eastes)
God, we thank You for Your faithfulness to us. We thank You for being the only constant we have, friends come and go, family sometimes can't be there, but You're always there no matter what. We love You and we give You praise for this beautiful day, in Jesus Name, Amen.

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, we thank and praise You for blessing us to see another Monday morning. We thank You for a wonderful weekend and we look forward to a victorious week. We begin this week with our hands lifted up, our mouths filled with praise and a heart of thanksgiving -- we're rejoicing because we know You are a mighty God and with all Your might You're working all things together for good in our lives. Help us this day to practice not speaking about anything that happened in the past, but instead declare, "This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!" We can rejoice because You have made available to us peace that surpasses all understanding; We can rejoice because we can taste and see that the Lord is good; We can rejoice because there are weapons being formed all around us, but they will not prosper; We can rejoice because our Savior is the reigning King. Father, You have given us so much to rejoice about, give us the strength to not waste time talking about old news, but instead rejoice because the breaking news today is, You have given us another chance to put the past behind us; Another chance to walk away from our distractions; Another chance to say yes to Your will; Another chance to rejoice and be glad in a new day of living. Thank You Lord in advance for the victory today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER:
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to see another beautiful day. We thank You for our health and strength. We thank You for providing all of our needs. Lord, yesterday things may not have gone the way we would have liked for them to go, but we thank You for stepping in and causing all things to work together for good. We may not see that it is good with our natural eye right now, but with our spiritual eye we're looking through faith and calling it good. Lord, we thank You for Your Word, for in Your Word You promised to take care of us. In Your Word You promised to never leave us; In Your Word You promised that we can always look behind and see Goodness and Mercy following us. In Your Word You promised when our enemy comes against us with full force, You will lift up a standard against him. God, we believe You today and we're standing on Your promises. Lord, You have given us breath, so we will praise the Lord! We're praising You through it all, believing there is a blessing on the other side of through. It's a great day today and we thank You in advance for letting nothing separate us from Your love. We love You Lord, we love You, we love You, in Jesus Name, Amen.

WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER
It's another days journey and we're glad about it!! Thank You Lord for opening our eyes to see another beautiful day that You have made. We don't know what this day will bring, but we know Who created today, so today we will trust You in all and through all. Lord, help us today to speak words that will bring life, words of love that will encourage and uplift. We waste so much valuable time speaking words just because we can, we insist on "speaking our mind" just because we can; Help us this day to let our conversation be full of grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that we will know how to respond to each person we speak to. You have blessed us with many means to communicate, telephone, text, email, facebook, skype, etc. --today give us the wisdom to use all that You have blessed us with to Your glory. Help us think before we communicate, ask ourselves, "How will what I communicate bring glory to God?" If the answer is, "It does not", give us the strength to keep it to ourselves. Help us to remember, we represent You and our love to You should be a life that points back to You. Father, You're so worthy of our praise, You're so worthy of our worship, You're so worthy, worthy, worthy! Today we will take the time out to praise You, not just with our lips, but with the lives we live, in Jesus Name, Amen.

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to be a part of one more day. We thank You for Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace. We thank You Lord for always looking out for us, always leading, guiding and directing our path, always loving us, even when we act as if we don't love ourselves. Father, You are an "always" God, the same yesterday, today and forever--we thank You for being the only constant we have. We pray one for another, asking that You will help each one to remember, You've done "it" before and You will do "it" again. If trouble comes, help us to remember You've delivered us before and You will deliver us again. If sickness comes, help us to remember You've healed before and You will heal again. Whatever the problem, You've done "it" before and we should trust You to do it again. We all have different "its", but the great thing about You is, You can handle them ALL, all at the same time. Your Word tells us, In everything give thanks to You, help us to give thanks now, just because You've done "it" before and our victory is in our praise. Help us to know praising You now before we see that You have done "it" again, is our act of faith and You love it when we trust You enough to thank You in advance for the victory. We praise You, we worship You, we adore You and we thank You in advance for a victorious day today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

FRIDAY INSPIRATION AND PRAYER
IN GOD WE TRUST
Several years ago, a couple was invited to spend the weekend at the husband's employer's home. The wife was nervous about the weekend. The boss was very wealthy, with a fine home on the waterway, and cars costing more than her house.
The first day and evening went well, and the wife was delighted to have this rare glimpse into how the very wealthy live. The husband's employer was quite generous as a host, and took them to the finest restaurants. The wife knew she would never have the opportunity to indulge in this kind of extravagance again, so was enjoying herself immensely.
As the three of them were about to enter an exclusive restaurant that evening, the boss was walking slightly ahead of the couple. He stopped suddenly, looking down on the pavement for a long, silent moment. The wife wondered if she was supposed to pass him. There was nothing on the ground except a single darkened penny that someone had dropped, and a few cigarette butts Still silent, the man reached down and picked up the penny. He held it up and smiled, then put it in his pocket as if he had found a great treasure. How absurd! What need did this man have for a single penny? Why would he even take the time to stop and pick it up?
Throughout dinner, the entire scene nagged at her. Finally, she could stand it no longer. She casually mentioned that her daughter once had a coin collection, and asked if the penny he had found had been of some value. A smile crept across the man's face as he reached into his pocket for the penny and held it out for her to see. She had seen many pennies before! What was the point of this? 'Look at it.' He said. 'Read what it says.' She read the words ' United States of America '. 'No, not that; read further.' 'One cent?' 'No, keep reading.' 'In God we Trust?' 'Yes!' 'And?' 'And if I trust in God, the name of God is holy, even on a coin. Whenever I find a coin I see that inscription. It is written on every single United States coin, but we never seem to notice it! God drops a message right in front of me telling me to trust Him? Who am I to pass it by? When I see a coin, I pray, I stop to see if my trust IS in God at that moment. I pick the coin up as a response to God; that I do trust in Him. For a short time, at least, I cherish it as if it were gold. I think it is God's way of starting a conversation with me. Lucky for me, God is patient and pennies are plentiful!
Later the wife had this testimony, "When I was out shopping today, I found a penny on the sidewalk. I stopped and picked it up, and realized that I had been worrying and fretting in my mind about things I cannot change. I read the words, 'In God We Trust,' and had to laugh. Yes, God, I get the message. It seems that I have been finding an inordinate number of pennies in the last few months, but then, pennies are plentiful! And, God is patient".
Our Father, we thank You Lord for the many simple reminders You give to us to trust You. We pray for Your strength and courage throughout this day so we will remember (even if we don't find a penny), to trust You with all our hearts and lean not to our own understanding; In all our ways acknowledge You first and trust You to direct our paths. We give You praise for a beautiful day, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Great message Bishop Williams, thanks for sharing. Now I have a whole new perspective on the next penny I pick up while on my early morning walk, or stroll in the mall, or along side my grocery cart. Yes, I Trust In God!

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to see another day. We thank You Lord for our life, health and strength. We thank You for food, clothing and shelter. We thank You for our jobs and means to support ourselves. Thank You Lord for Your unconditional love to us, always. Father, this morning we're praying for Michelle Clark and family as they mourn the passing of their sister. Give them strength to deal with the difficult days ahead and grant them peace. We're continuing to pray for Kaman Richardson, asking that You continue to provide healing to his body. We're also praying for Cora Paige, the mother of Della Ford, as she prepares to go in for surgery this morning. Father, we're thankful for the 93 years You've blessed her to live and we're thanking You in advance for yet another victory in her life. We pray for Apostle Berry, Mercedes Snowden,Stephanie Robinson, Lori Williams and my entire family. Bless each one who reads this prayer with the blessings we stand in the need of. Help us Lord to remember, greater is He Who lives in us, than he who lives in the world. Help us to remember, no matter how great or small, any distraction will do -- anything to cause us to loose focus and concentrate on who or what we can see is a victory for the enemy. Help us to remember, we're in a spiritual warfare and it is not a war that our eyes can see. Help us to remember this battle can't be won with bullets and guns, it can't be won with a "get even spirit", it can't be won by insisting on doing things our way; For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. Help us not to be distracted by what's going on around us in and our lives, but instead purpose in our hearts to rejoice in the God of our salvation, for truly You are the source of our strength and the strength of our life. We lift our hands in total praise to You today, determined to praise You in advance for the victories we shall experience today. We give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.

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

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

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

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

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

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

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION
GOD IS NEVER WRONG
A king who did not believe in the goodness of God, had a slave who, in all circumstances would always say, “My king, do not be discouraged, because everything God does is perfect. He makes no mistakes!”
One day they went hunting and along the way a wild animal attacked the king. His slave managed to kill the animal, but could not prevent his majesty from losing a finger.
Furious and without showing his gratitude for being saved, the nobleman asked
"Is God good? If He was good, I would not have been attacked and lost my finger."
The slave replied: "My king, despite all these things, I can only tell you that God is good, and He knows why these things happened. What God does is perfect. He is never wrong!"
Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his slave. Later, the King left for another hunt, this time alone. He was captured by savages who engaged in human sacrifices. On the altar and ready to sacrifice the nobleman, the savages discovered that their victim did not have one of his fingers. According to them, only a whole person with all his/her parts intact could be offered to the gods. The King without a finger was deemed an abominable sacrifice for their gods. So they released the King.
Upon his return to the palace, the King authorized the release of his slave. He received the slave affectionately. He asked his slave, "My dear, God was really good to me! I was almost killed by the wild men, but for lack of a single finger, I was let go! But I have a question: if God is so good, why did he allow me to put you in jail?"
The slave answered, "My King, if I had gone with you on this hunt, I would have been sacrificed instead because I have no missing finger. Remember everything God does is perfect. He is never wrong. He made you keep me in jail so I would not be with you on the hunt."
Often we complain about life, and negative things that happen to us, forgetting that nothing is random and that everything has a purpose. Every morning, offer your day to God, don't be in a rush. Ask God to inspire your thoughts, guide your actions, and ease your feelings. And do not be afraid. God is never wrong!
You know why this message is for you? I do not know, but God knows, because He never makes mistakes....... The path of God and his word is perfect, without impurities. He is the way of all those who trust in Him, as He says in 2 Samuel 22: 31. What you do with this message is up to you. May God put in your heart the desire to send it to someone. God knows why He choose you to receive this message. Please bless someone with it. God is never wrong!

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

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

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

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION
SPEAK OUT
Begin each day declaring who you are. Who are you? You are created in the image of God. He loves us so much that He breathed a part of Him into us. As we think back on how this world came into existence we must remember, God used His Word, He spoke and it was so . . .
In the morning when I rise, I speak, “it’s a good day today!”
· I speak, “It is because of the Lord’s mercies that I’m not consumed, because His compassion's fail not. They are new every morning, great is Thy faithfulness!” (Lam 3:22,23)
· I speak, “Greater is He Who lives in me than he who lives in the world” – (I John 4:4)
· I speak, “No weapon formed against me this day shall prosper” – (Isa 54:17)
· I speak, “I have the peace that surpasses all understanding” – (Phil 4:7)
· I speak, “I am who God says I am, I am more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus Who loves me” – (Rom 8:37)
Wouldn’t you know it, just when I think it’s going to be a great day, a situation comes that has the potential of shaking me,
· I speak, “Who shall separate me from the love of God –shall this situation? “No!” (Rom 8:35)
· I speak, “If God be for me, who can be against me!” --(Rom 8:31)
· I speak, “I will trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not to my own understanding” –(Prov 3:5)
· I speak, “This is the day that the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what!” --(Psa 118:24)
It’s lunch time, but my appetite has suddenly vanished, because my troubles have left me sad, worried and doubting if I will ever get to the other side of through
· I speak, “The joy of the Lord is my strength” – (Neh 8:10)
· I speak, “Thou will keep me in perfect peace, because I trust God” – (Isa 26:3)
· I speak, “Without faith, it is impossible to please God” – (Heb 11:6)
· I speak, “God, I’m casting all my cares to You, because I know You care” –(I Pet 5:7)
When a disagreement arises with a family member or friend
· I speak, “Love is patient, love is kind –I choose love” – (I Cor 13:4-7)
· I speak, “God is not the author of confusion, but of peace” – (I Cor 14:33)
· I speak, “By this shall all me know that we are His disciples, if we have love one to another”
– (Jhn 13:35)
· I speak, “Let brotherly love continue” –(Heb 13:1)
Awe, the night is here and it seems another day has gone by and God has not answered my prayer
· I speak, “They that wait upon the Lord, shall renew their strength.” (Isa 40:31)
· I speak, “God, Your thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are Your ways my ways” –(Isa 55:8)
· I speak, “I know, God causes all things to work together for my good” –(Rom 8:28)
· I speak, “God, continue to speak to me while I slumber and sleep”. – (Psa 121:4)
· I speak, “Eyes have not seen, nor ear heard, neither entered into the heart of man, the things God has prepared for me” ---(I Cor 2:9) ---
“So Lord, I speak, “I look forward to tomorrow, the first day of the best days of my life!”
All day long I “speak out” His Word. After all, He gave us His Word to use, so as long as my situation is not bigger than God speaking the heavens and the earth into existence, I believe I’ll use what He used, speak out His Word and expect victory is mine today!
Thank You God for giving us Your Word!

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for the blessing and privilege to see one more day. We thank You Lord for Your new mercy today, the fact of the matter is, all the days of our lives we have experienced new mercy--great is Thy faithfulness! All the days of our lives we have been the recipient of Your unconditional love --great is Thy faithfulness! Hallelujah Jesus, You're worthy to be praised! We lift our hands to praise You Lord and we bow our heads to honor You, because there is none like You! We pray one for another, asking You to help those of us who have memory issues to remember, You are the same yesterday, today and forever more, You change not; And, just as You have always taken good care of us, You will take care of us now. Help us to remember no matter how great our issues may seem to us, You are greater, so it's not time to ignore You and concentrate on our issues, but it's time to praise You in advance for working it out for our good. We’re going forth today believing no weapon formed against us shall prosper. We’re going forth declaring our mind is made up, we are Designer’s Originals and we deserve nothing but the best. We shall not settle for mediocrity, but we’re expecting only the best! We’re going forth declaring our mind is made up, we shall let nothing and no one hinder us from rejoicing and being glad in this great day that You have blessed us to see, we give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER:
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace. We thank You for keeping us throughout the night and waking us this morning to see a brand new day. We thank You Lord for another chance to say yes to Your will. We thank You for another chance to forgive, another chance to let go and allow You to have Your way in our lives. Lord, we pray one for another, praying that we come to the realization that our victory lies in our praise. Help us to know it's an individual thing, we can pray and pray one for another, but it is our faith that will make us whole. Help us to know our faith does not need to be increased; we simply need to use the mountain moving faith we have. Lord, today help us resist the temptation to find fault in someone else; Help us say no to discussing another's business and instead shine the light on ourselves. Help us to see the areas we're lacking in and do something about it. Help us to not give up and say, "I can't" for Your Word tells us we can do all things through Christ Who gives us the strength. Your Word tells us in all things we are more than conquerors "through" Him that loved us. Help us today to go "through" with You Lord and declare by faith, we win! We give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.
