FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION HOW DO YOU SEE YOU?
Do you see yourself getting through what you’re going through?
Do you see yourself saying, “NO”, finally?
Do you see yourself realizing your value and dismissing everyone who does not?
Do you see yourself NOT going with the flow, because that’s not you?
Do you see yourself standing up for what you believe?
Do you see yourself victorious in all you do?
Do you see yourself healthy? Do you see yourself delivered from that addiction?
Do you see yourself debt free?
Do you see yourself by yourself, if that means not being hurt anymore?
Do you see yourself being confident because you know who you are?
Do you see yourself letting go of the past, refusing to let it dictate your present and define your future?
In ALL these things you are more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus If you can’t see it, maybe it’s time you change how you see you.
How do you see you? TRUTH: How you see you is how others will see you and they will treat you based on how you show them “YOU”.
Are you tired of being used and abused? Tired of being lied to? Tired of being walked on and over? If YOU are tired, then show them who YOU are.
You are beautifully and wonderfully made. You can do all things through Christ Who gives you strength
You are a Designer’s Original, you’re one of a kind. There is no one like you or no one better than you.
How do you see you? You are a child of the Most High God, with all the benefits and privileges of a King’s Child.
Take a look at yourself again. Now, act like who you are!

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER Good morning Lord! We praise Your Name Lord Jesus! We sing, "Bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is within me. Bless Your holy Name. You have done great things, bless Your holy Name!" We thank You Lord for life, health and strength. Some of us are ill, but still we must say thank You, because we're still here to know we're not feeling well. We pray a special prayer for Fred Redd and DeCarlos Cannon, asking that You move mightily with Your healing touch. We pray one for another, asking that You draw each one closer to You, and that we fall in love with You so much until our desire becomes to please You, more and more. Lord, You speak to us every day of our lives, we hear You, but often times we ignore You or pretend we don't know Who's speaking; We pray each one understands You see everything and You know everything, so it's smart to obey Your voice. When we hear, "No", give us the will power to move on. When we hear, "Smile", help us with our stubbornness, smiling is free and is healthy. When we hear, "forgive", although it may be hard, it's in the category of "ALL things" --all things are possible if we believe. It's a great day today and we're going forth believing, "Nothing is impossible!" We can love where hate is prevalent. We can bring peace into a confused situation. We can walk away from arguments. We can take another step towards our goals, dreams and visions. We can rejoice and be glad in this day, no matter what! We give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.
WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER Good morning Lord! We sing, "I love You Lord and I lift my voice to worship You, Oh my soul rejoice. Take joy my King in what You hear. Let it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear. We exalt You, Oh oh Lord!" Thank You Lord for waking us to see another beautiful perfect day. It is another day that we have never seen before, so we thank You for giving us something new every day of our lives. We shout out, "Hallelujah!!" Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies we see. All we have needed, Your hand has provided; Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto us! Lord, we're going forward today trusting You. We're trusting You because Your reputation in our lives is impeccable and we know You always have our best interest planned. We pray for continued strength to yield not to temptation. We are tempted everyday to go back to what we've been delivered from. We're tempted everyday to take matters into our hands and work them the way we desire. We've tempted everyday to strike back in order to get our point across. When these times come, Lord help us to take the time to ask our Savior to help us and believe You will carry us through. We're praying for Lois Gilmore and Patsy Turner, asking for a mighty healing touch from You, in the Name of Jesus. We pray for those whose names we do not know, those who are suffering with sickness, bereavement and so much more--search our hearts Lord and touch the one who we're thinking of right now, in the Name of Jesus. We thank You Lord in advance for a mighty move from our Mighty God in each life. It's a great day today and we shall rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Good morning Lord! We sing, "We worship You Almighty God, there is none like You. We worship You O Prince of Peace, that is what we want to do. We give You praise, for You are our righteousness. We worship You Almighty God, there is none like You." We thank You Lord because You know everything there is to know about us, but still You call us friend and continue to love us unconditionally. Yesterday we did some things we shouldn't have, we said some things we should have kept to ourselves; But still this morning You woke us with Your merciful touch--We thank You for another chance to say yes to Your will. Lord, as we approach the day we call Christmas, the day we're supposed to celebrate Your birth, we pray each one remembers You. Help each one to know after Christmas is over, we still must live and it's best to live within our means now so we won't be stressed after Christmas is over. As we approach the end of another year, we pray each one begins their New Year's resolution now, because if we need to do it in the new year, we need to start now. Today is a good day to make the first step to being what we say we're going to be in 2013. Today is a good day to start doing what we say we're going to do in 2013. Today is a good day for new beginnings, so we shall use our NOW faith to make the first step! It's a great day today, we pray each one sees the beauty of today and purpose in our hearts to rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Thank You Lord. Thank You Lord. Thank You Lord, we just want to thank You Lord. You've been so good, we just want to thank You Lord. You've been our friend, we just want to thank You Lord. You continue to make a way, we just want to thank You Lord. We thank You for Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace. We thank You Lord for opening our eyes to see another day. We thank You for family, friends and enemies too. We thank You for another chance to say yes to Your will. We thank You Lord for truly You have done great things for us. Lord, You have brought us through sickness, disease, addictions, troubled times, heartache, pain--so we just want to thank You Lord. We have so much to thank You for and our desire is not to take anything for granted; We thank You Lord for all You've done for us. All that we've needed, Your faithful hand has provided. Great is Thy faithfulness! We pray one for another, praying that each one takes the time to think back over their lives and recognize things don't have to be as well as they are; And it's by Your grace and mercy that we're still here. We pray each one is more sensitive to the fact, You didn't bring us this far to leave us now, so the best thing for us to do is keep holding on to our faith. We're continuing to pray for Lois Gilmore. You know her condition and no matter how serious it may seem to man, it's just right for You--touch, heal and deliver Lord, in the Name of Jesus. We're also praying for Kathy Harris, she too is standing in the need of a healing touch from You. Today is a good day to praise the Lord, no matter what. It's a good day to be thankful in all things and we shall rejoice and be glad in this day, in Jesus Name, Amen.
WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER O Come let us adore Him! O Come let us adore Him! O Come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord! For He alone is worthy! Lord, we thank You for waking us to see the day after Christmas. We were excited yesterday and we're still excited today because You are the same yesterday, today and forever! You are always faithful, loving, kind, compassionate, true, just--and we give You all the glory! You are the reason! Without You, there would be no us, hallelujah Jesus! We love You Lord and our hearts are filled with praise! Thank You for being Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace--and with everything that You are You love us, thank You! We praise You for always living up to Your Name! This morning we're not asking for anything, we just want to love on You. We're excited today because it is another day we have the privilege of walking and talking with You, we give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.
THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER Our Father, our Lord, our Savior, our King we offer praises to You! You are the only true and living God and we love You! Thank You for opening our eyes to see another day filled with Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace. We don't know what today will bring, but we're excited because our lives are in Your hands and we know we're in good hands. We're in the hands of our loving God Who promised to never leave us or forsake us. We're in the hands of God Almighty and You're never intimidated by any circumstance or situation. We pray each one trusts You enough to obey Your voice and follow Your lead. There is so much going on around us, so many are going through and some are at the point of almost giving up--Lord, help us remember Who You are in the midst of it all. Help us remember all the many times You brought us through. All the many times You did what man said couldn't be done. All the many times we thought we wouldn't make it through, but You spoke peace and gave us the strength to ride through the storm. You are a mighty God and we praise You for loving us with all Your might. We're praying for Fred Redd, draw him closer to You and grant him peace. We're trusting You for a mighty healing touch from You and we believe a testimony is on the way. Today is a great day, we pray one for another asking You to give us the courage to give You a sacrifice of praise and believe our victory lies in our "right now" praise. In Jesus Name, Amen.
Time is filled with swift transitions. People are here today, gone tomorrow.
Healthy one day, fighting for their lives the next.
Families are together this week, asking, “Where is mom/dad?” the next.
Best friends for many years, struggling to be mere acquaintances today.
Everything must change; they say nothing remains the same. But who would have thought "I" would be experiencing what I am right now?
Not in a million years would I have thought “THIS” would be me!
So what do you do when your world is turned upside down? What do you do when the little hope you had is now gone?
Who do you run to when your brother has let go of your hand?
Your sister doesn't understand?
Your mother can't dry your tears?
Your father can't be there?
And your best friend can’t be found?
Well, in the words of the song,”There's Jesus and He'll never let you down”. He’s the same yesterday, today and forever. When all else fails, look for Him.
He's waiting patiently in line for you to notice He has never left you, in fact, if you let Him He'll carry you now.
Don't wait for a perceived bad situation to look for Jesus, look up He sees you in the good as well as the bad. He’s always standing with His arms wide open, extending the invitation, “Come to Me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”
Don’t carry what your body is not designed to carry, let it all go, trust HIM and He’ll carry YOU now.
MONDAY MORNING PRAYER**********HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!! Our Father in heaven, we thank You for waking us to see the last day of 2012. It's been a great year, we've had ups and downs, but through it all we're learning to trust in You and depend on Your Word. We pray each one will continue to have the courage to be strong in the Lord and in Your mighty power. We pray each one will get dressed and put on the full Armor of God, so we can stand against the tricks and schemes of the devil. Help us to realize our fight is not against flesh and blood, so when we find ourselves getting upset with our brother or sister, help us to remember it's a trick. We pray each one purposes in their heart to keep standing and having done all to stand, be determined to stand. We pray each one gets serious about their High Calling and purpose in their heart to run the race with patience. Help us to know there is so much more Kingdom building we must do and the time is now. It's time we use our individual gifts provided by You, come together and use them to glorify our Father in heaven. We pray each one will surrender all to You on this last day of the year and begin the new year trusting You to lead, guide and direct our paths. A New Year's Resolution is not necessary, but a new commitment to You is--give us the wisdom and courage to do so. We shout out, "Hallelujah Jesus!!!" and we thank You for another chance to say YES to YOUR will, in Jesus Name, Amen.
WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER Our Father in heaven, we again say thank You for blessing us to see the beginning of another year. Last year is gone and some of us declared we wouldn't bring the old into the new, but already the old seems to be dominating. We pray each one recognizes the enemy does not start over just because it's a new year, but rather the goal to kill, steal and destroy lives on. The enemy will not ease up because we made a resolution or commitment, but rather the desire to sift us as wheat remains. Lord, help us remember we have immediate access to Your throne of grace and if we approach boldly we can expect Your help in our time of need. O what needless pains we bare all because we don't care everything to our faithful God in prayer. We pray each one remembers to make our requests known unto You and trust You to give us peace that surpasses all understanding. Help us to remember our fight is not against flesh and blood, but there are always wicked spiritual forces working against us. Fighting one another, being angry, holding grudges plays right into the enemy's hand and causes us to be disobedient to Your Word--You told us, "A New Commandment I give unto you, that You love one another as I have loved you . . . by this shall all men know you are My disciples". Open our eyes that we may see, having love one to another is Kingdom Building business and it's time we be about it. We pray for those suffering with cold/flu/other illnesses (Barbara Washington, Zelma Hawkins, Della Ford, Kyria LeFlore), we know a few names, but You know all names--move mightily, touch, heal and deliver, in the Name of Jesus. It's a great day today, help us to remember our High Calling, focus on our goals and move forward. We give You praise in advance for the victory today, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for waking us to see another new day. We thank You for new mercy. We thank You for new air to breathe, new light to see, new sounds to hear, new smiles to share and most importantly new praise on our lips --hallelujah Jesus! Lord we say, "Bless the Lord O My Soul and all that is within me, bless His holy Name!" We thank You Lord because You have done, are doing and will continue to do great things. Lord with all the "new" You have already provided us today we pray each one will show our appreciation to You by not insisting on dragging the old things of yesterday into this new day. We pray each one will see there are some things designed by the enemy to keep us distracted and as long as we insist on having them there, we will continue to be distracted, frustrated and left feeling a void. Give us clear vision so we may recognize what those things are and the courage and strength to say, "Enough is enough, I'm moving forward." We pray each one purposes in their heart to make new steps forward today, with a determination to not go back. Time is winding up and continuing to do the "two step"-- two steps forward and two steps back is outdated. It's time for a new dance, a new praise, a new worship, a new attitude, a new commitment and a new determination to have new thoughts, new ideas and new goals. We thank You for the first day of the best days of our lives--we're moving forward, in Jesus Name, Amen.

What’s the difference, a new day, a new year? The new year began a day after yesterday.
Yesterday’s trouble, heartache and pain did not end because it’s a new year.
The affects of the argument you had New Year’s Eve did not ease when the clock struck 12:01.
Illnesses suffered with yesterday, still have you concerned today.
What’s the difference, a new day, a new year?
We said, “I’m not bringing 2012 into 2013”. But really, how could you not? It’s a new year, but it’s just the day after yesterday.
It’s the 4th day of the new year and already people are frustrated because 2013 looks a lot like 2012.
People are frustrated because what they said wouldn’t happen in 2013, is already happening.
Calm down everybody! What’s the difference, a new day, a new year?
Year after year we set ourselves up for failure by saying what’s not going to happen. How about we take one minute, one hour, one day at a time?
Do your best today to take a step forward and don’t forget to celebrate the one step forward.
God gives us something new each day; Take the time to celebrate the new and not concentrate so hard on forgetting the old.
It’s a new year, but what’s the difference, a new day, a new year?
Today we have a new opportunity to appreciate God for all “the new” He continues to bless us with each day of our lives. All that we said we would do in 2013, start today one minute at a time. For each step forward, celebrate progress and before you know it, all that you said you would do—you’re doing it. And, all that you said you wouldn’t do is no longer a thought, because you have moved forward one step at a time.
MONDAY MORNING PRAYER Lord, we thank and praise You for opening our eyes to see another brand new day. We thank You for a wonderful weekend and we stand on tip toe anticipation for a week filled with victory after victory. We're thanking You in advance for healing those who are sick, strengthening those who are weak and delivering those who are in bondage. Many of us have made a new commitment to be better, do better and stick to it; We ask that You will continue to give us new strength and help us to be more determined each day to be/do better than the day before. We pray each one knows all things are possible to them that believe. If we can think it, we can achieve it, the sky is the limit for all of God's children. We pray for our children as they prepare to go back to school, build a hedge of protection all around them that they may be safe from the physical and spiritual attack of the enemy. We pray for the teachers, administrators and staff, strengthen their love, concern and compassion for the children and help them do their best to make a difference. It's the first Monday of the new year, we don't regret having to go to work, instead we're offering praise to You for blessing us with a job to go to. We're blessed and we know we're blessed by our Almighty God! Thank You! We give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Good morning Lord! We worship and praise You because You're good and Your mercy endures forever! Morning by morning new mercy we see, great is Your faithfulness. We love You Lord! We worship You Lord! We praise You Lord! We thank You Lord for the blessing and privilege to approach Your throne of Grace boldly, expecting a mighty move from You in our lives. We pray one for another, asking You to help us remember, understand and be mindful of the fact that You blessed us with one life to live and one body to take care of. You extended the open invitation to, “Come to Me, all who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest;” Help us to accept Your invitation. Open our eyes so we will see our bodies are not designed to carry stress and heavy loads. You created us to praise and worship You, in obedience to You. Lord, help us see everything we should be doing to bring glory to You, and give us the strength to let go all we should carry to You and allow You to work out. We pray each one develops a desire to trust You more and more each day, and with each day surrender more to You. We thank You for blessing us to see this beautiful day, we shall rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what. We thank You Lord because we recognize You to be the source of our strength and the strength of our lives, so we're lifting our hands in total praise to You, thanking You in advance for the victory today. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Our Father in heaven, we offer praises to You because You are our refuge, our strength, our present help, our strong tower, our rock, our healer, our deliverer; You are everything to us, You mean the world to us and we love You! We love You because Your love to us is always amazing. In spite of the many times we choose our way instead of Your way, You continue to love us unconditionally and for this we give You praise. Thank You Lord for blessing us to see another day and for giving us another chance to say yes to Your will. We thank You for always being worthy of all the praise. We thank You Lord because we don't have to think hard, we don't have to look far or listen close, we can always sense Your nearness and feel Your presence wherever we go, thank You for always keeping Your Word to us. Lord we pray for each eye that will read this prayer and each ear that will hear, asking that You continue to draw us closer to You and that we make a conscious decision to do our best in Your presence today. Help us remember everywhere we go, in all that we do and say, You are there and our goal should always be to please You. The words we speak, the actions we take, let everything we do be to Your glory. We pray someone will be blessed today by the love we share through our smiles. We pray someone will be encouraged today by the simple words, "Good morning" and "Have a nice day". We pray each person will open up to You and declare, "Here I am Lord, use me." Today is the day to let our light shine. Today is the day to let the world see You through us. Today is the day to take another step forward in living out our purpose, the victory belongs to us, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Lord, You are good and Your mercy endures forever! We worship You, hallelujah, hallelujah! We worship You for Who You are. We thank You Lord for being good all the time. We thank You for being faithful all the time. We thank You for being loving all the time. We thank You for being just all the time. We thank You for being forgiving all the time. You are an "ALL THE TIME" God and we praise You for being all that You are in our lives all the time. What a mighty God we serve! Lord, we thank You for blessing us to see one more day. We pray one for another, asking that You will give us the courage to trust You with all our heart and lean not to our own understanding. In all our ways, before we do anything, acknowledge You first and believe You will direct our path. We thank You for hearing and answering our prayers--You're continuing to heal. You're continuing to deliver. You're continuing to bring us through. You're continuing to make ways where there seems to be no way. You're continuing to close doors that we can't pry open, help us to know it's for our good. You're continuing to give us new strength. We pray each one is reminded of the fact that You are the same yesterday, today and forever; Which means You will continue to be the same God that You continue to be; Which further means we can trust You with our lives. You see all, know all and can do all--help us to know it's best to surrender all to You. It's a great day today, we shall rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what. In Jesus Name we pray, Amen.

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER We praise Your Name Jesus! We thank You Lord for opening our eyes to another new day filled with Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace. We thank You Lord for our life, health and strength. We thank You Lord because You just keep on being God, no matter what we say or do. You continue to be faithful even when we're unfaithful. You continue to be loving even when we refuse to obey Your command to have love one to another. You continue to be merciful even when we refuse to acknowledge it's been You all the time keeping us from day to day; It's been You opening doors for us and refusing to let anyone close them; It's been You causing us to live, move and have our being ---We thank You Lord because You keep doing great things for us, no matter what we say or do. We pray each one appreciates Your never ending love to us more by praising You with the lives we live. We thank You for today and because we know tomorrow is not promised, we will live today to be a blessing to someone else. We will live today forgetting about the wrong that was done yesterday. We will live today letting our light shine so that those who need to see You, will see You through us. We will live today offering praises to the Most High God, the only True and Living God, our Rock, our Savior, our Redeemer, our Strength, our Comforter, our Peace, our Lord, our Savior, our King! Hallelujah Jesus! We're rejoicing and being glad in this great day, no matter what, in Jesus Name, Amen.
We worship You Almighty God, there is none like You. We worship You O Prince of Peace, this is what we love to do. We give You praise because You are our righteousness. We love You Lord and we lift our voice to praise You, for You are a mighty God. We shout out, HALLELUJAH!!! Because there is none like You! Lord, we thank You for loving us just the way we are; You know everything there is to know about us and still You call us friend. We thank You for being the kind of friend Who we can talk to about everything and our worry is never that You will judge us, but You continue to pour Your love on us and assure us there is nothing too bad that You can't fix and make good. We pray one for another, asking that You will help us remember Who our friend is; You've blessed us with humans to call friend, but we pray no one forgets You are the only constant friend we have. Help us remember You're with us everywhere we go today, so there is no need for us to tackle any situation alone. Help us to remember we can do all things through Christ Who gives us strength. So, we're going forth today with vision and purpose; AND we shall let nothing trick us, discourage us, or stop us from rejoicing and being glad in this beautiful day that You made for us. We praise You Lord and we thank You in advance for giving us the confidence and the assurance that we can trust our Best Friend, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Good morning Lord! It's mighty nice to see another beautiful day and know our God is still the reigning King of kings and Lord of lords. Bless each one to know, today will be so much better if we would only remember, You reign forever and with all of Your power You're on our side. The truth that You're on our side makes us automatically winners! We win because there is nothing too hard for You to do. We win because You are faithful, You did it yesterday and You will do it today. We win because You're all knowing, You know what's best for us and if we follow Your game-plan we will continue to be champions. We win because You're all powerful and You have empowered us to go. We can go forth with the plan to glorify You with our visions, dreams, and goals knowing we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus. We pray each one knows we're on the winning team and it's time to start playing like the winners we are. Help us to know winners don't fuss, complain, whine, or have pity-parties; Winners simply play the game. Winners run the race with confidence knowing when a hurdle comes You will give us the strength to jump over, and with each obstacle You will give us the wisdom, strength and courage to get through. We pray each one goes forth today displaying their "winner light" and praising their "Winning coach" knowing the victory belongs to us. We're rejoicing and being glad in this day, no matter what, in Jesus Name, Amen.
TODAY DOES NOT HAVE TO BE LIKE YESTERDAY You worried yesterday, today trust God. Worrying affects your health and quite frankly, does not look good on you.
You were grouchy yesterday, today smile. Being grouchy makes you miserable and causes others to run when they see you coming.
Yesterday you were sick and you let everybody know it. Today speak Truth, “I am healed, I am well, in the Name of Jesus!”
Yesterday you found pleasure in reminding others of what they did. Today remember you have a past as well. What would you do if God held your past against you?
Yesterday you asked the Lord for more and thanked Him less. Today switch it around, thank the Lord more and ask for less, got’ta feeling things will work out better for you.
Yesterday you continued the ”two step” from the day before-- two steps forward and two steps back. Today do a new dance called, “forward march”. Bust a move, get “jiggy wit it”, have fun, but keep moving forward! Why keep going back to where you’ve been before?
Today can be the first day of the best days of your life, but that depends on you. Will you renew your mind today and purpose in your heart to rejoice and be glad in this day, no matter what?
Everyday declare, “Today will not be like yesterday”. Do something that will make someone smile and be happy you are here today.

Our Father in heaven, we thank You for waking us to see another new day. We thank You for all that our eyes have seen, our ears have heard and our hearts have been made to bear witness. Out of all that we've seen, heard and felt our conclusion is, You are: Loving, kind, compassionate, good, gracious, merciful, forgiving, faithful, just-- You are the Great I Am ALL time and we love You for loving us with all of You. We pray one for another, asking that You will help us remember there is no need to panic today, there is no need to worry today, there is no need to allow ourselves to get angry today, there is no need to take matters into our own hands today--because the same God that has kept us all the days of our lives is still on the throne. You're still healing, You're still delivering, You're still making ways where there seem to be no way, You're still opening doors man thought were closed air tight, You're still the only true and living God and all we need to do today is trust You, worship You and praise You with our lives because "You've got ALL of this!" It's a great day made by our Great God and we're expecting great things. We thank You for bringing Cora Carter through her surgery and we're thanking You in advance for a speedy recovery. We pray for our family and friends, asking that You will heal the sick, deliver those in bondage, lift up bowed down heads and if there is anything we can do to make today better, we surrender all to You, use us in this great day to do great things, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Our Father in heaven, it's another day's journey and we're glad about it! You've blessed us with our health and strength and we're glad about it! We looked around and our family and friends are well and we're glad about it! We're glad because You blessed us to see another beautiful day. We're glad because all our needs Your hand has provided. We're glad because goodness and mercy continues to follow us everywhere we go. We're glad because our God is an awesome God! We're glad because Your faithfulness to us is great all the time. We're glad because absolutely nothing can separate us from Your unconditional love to us---thank You Lord for blessing us to see another perfect day, we shall rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what! We're praying one for another, asking that You help us to stay focused and on course today. There are many distractions that continue to surround us everyday, give us the wisdom to know distractions are designed to take us off course. Distractions keep us from thinking great, doing great, and expecting great. Open our eyes so we will see the distraction and give us the courage to say "no" and continue to move forward in the things You have called us to do. We can do all things through Christ Who gives us strength; Help us to know our dreams, visions and goals are included in "all things". Today is the day to continue pursuing our "all things" and know You have already given us the victory, but we have to do our work. We love You Lord and we praise You in advance for our realized victory today, in Jesus Name, Amen.
We worship You O mighty God, there is none like You. We worship You O Prince of Peace, that is what we love to do. We give You praise, for You are our righteousness. We worship You O mighty God, there is none like You! Thank You Lord for waking us to see another beautiful day. It may be raining outside and for some it's raining in our personal lives, but still it's a beautiful day because You made it. Help us to know because You made this day, there is nothing about this day that will take You by surprise. Help us begin this day leaning on You and believe even if something happens that takes us by surprise, You're already busy working it together for good; So we will trust You Lord. This morning we lift the family of Larvine Johnson to You, asking that You draw them closer to You, so they will experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding. We pray one for another, asking that each one recognizes time is winding up, we're closer today to meeting You face to face than we ever have been. It's time we be about Your business, more today than we were yesterday. You told us to have love one to another and by our love one to another people will know we belong to You. Help us to know the love we display will cause others to see You and become curious about receiving Who we have--that's Kingdom Business. Give us the strength and courage to walk away from the things that are causing us to concentrate more on our feelings, anger and opinions. Help us dismiss the things that continue to distract us and cause us to not be concerned about the reason we're here. We're here to glorify Your Name. We're here to live out the purpose for which You created us. We're here to point others to You by the life we live. We pray each one is serious today about living so You can use us. Today is a great day, it's the best day to live out the love that You continue to freely give to us unconditionally. Today is the best day to leave yesterday where it is and press forward today believing we are more than conquerors, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Question: When you woke up this morning what was the first thing you thought about? Was it the argument you had last night? The disappointment you experienced last week? Your job? The fact that you don't have a job? Your health? Your bills? Your relationship or lack thereof? What was your first thought? I compare life to a basketball game, if your head is not in the game you will make bad passes, miss the layup, shoot bricks and you won’t be ready for the “no look” pass. The best way to have a great game each day is to think about the “Coach’s Playbook” all the time. Our first thought in the morning should be, “Thank You Lord for one more day”. Just as we exercise to form our muscles, we must exercise our thoughts to form our mind. Thinking about things we cannot change weakens our mind; Hence our thoughts are weak and not centered around TRUTH. The fact is, if your first thought was not, “Thank You Lord”, you woke up with your head not in the game and your thoughts not centered around TRUTH. The fact is, “In this world we shall have tribulations—things that get us down, discourage us, tempt us, etc. But TRUTH said, “Be of good cheer for I have overcome the world.” If we don’t think we are winners, we will struggle to win the game.
Let’s get our head in the game. Here’s the game plan 1. Get to know the Coach 2. Listen to and trust the Coach 3. Praise the Coach 4. Follow the plays the Coach has written on the board (Bible) 5. Worship the Coach because of His great reputation Get your head in the game, practice going to sleep saying, “Thank You” and waking up saying, “Thank You”. Saying “Thank You” is a great start to a great Game Day. Our coach has the Master Game Plan which says, “Bottom line, we win!” Let’s go team!!! Today we’re playing another game we automatically win. Don’t concentrate on the score, just play the game and trust our Coach.
Our Father in heaven, we recognize You to be a mighty God and You're worthy of all the praise. We begin this morning shouting out, "HALLELUJAH!!" to the Lord our God! You are Great! You're the King of kings and the Lord of lords and most definitely You are our wonderful Savior and Prince of Peace. Thank You Lord for waking us to see another one of Your perfect days. It doesn't matter what the weather man says, You are the One Who controls the weather, so rain, shine, snow or sleet, it's a great day made by our Great God and we shall rejoice and be glad in it. We're praying one for another, asking You to help us take a look at ourselves today. Let each one say, "It's not my mother, father, nor sister or brother, but it's me O Lord and I'm standing in the need of a touch from You." Praying today we not concern ourselves with what others are saying about us, but that our goal be to please You, so that You will say, "Well done". Open our eyes so we will be aware of the tricks and schemes of the enemy who will do whatever necessary to distract us from being all that You created us to be. The enemy is doing whatever necessary to kill, steal and destroy our dreams and keep us from living inside-out. We pray each one will recognize the bitterness they have towards another is an arrangement made by the enemy and as long as we stay bitter or angry, we're forfeiting our status of "More than Conquerors". Help us look at one another through "love eyes" and see the beauty You have planted within each of us. We have all made mistakes, said things we shouldn't have said, and acted in a manner that does not exemplify who we are, but still You love us unconditional. Give us the courage and strength to follow Your lead and obey Your command to have love one to another. Today we shall let the Jesus in us be visible to all. We thank You Lord in advance for a victorious day today, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for the blessing and the privilege to still be here another glorious day. We thank You for another chance to say yes to Your will. We thank You for another opportunity to draw closer to You and be compelled to go where You tell us to go; Speak what You tell us to speak and do what You tell us to do. We pray each one recognizes how good and how pleasant it is to dwell together in love and unity. We pray all disagreements will be dismissed. All wrong doings will be forgiven. All hurt will be soothed. All sickness will be healed. We're praying for those who are suffering with the dreaded disease called, Cancer. Help them to know, You always have the final say so, grant them peace that surpasses all understanding. We're praying those who are depressed, sad or lonely will have the courage to lift up their heads and expect the King of Glory to come in and speak deliverance. We're praying all who are in bondage will be set free and feel empowered to live the abundant life You have called us to. Bless each one to know with certainty, we can do all things through Christ Who gives us strength and advance victory. Today we're walking in victory. We're walking in love. We're walking in peace. We're walking in joy. We're moving forward recognizing everything in the past we have already experienced and You're calling us to experience the new You have prepared for us today. Help us to know if makes sense to trust You with all our hearts and lean not to our own understanding. It makes sense to acknowledge You first in all our ways and expect You to direct our path. It makes sense to praise You with the lives we live today because You are a mighty God and You're worthy to be praised, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to see one more day. Thank You for continuing to supply all our needs. Help us to know there are some things we need that we're not aware of, but You know, so in all things we must trust You and believe You're busy keeping Your Word. Lord, we're standing in agreement with Pastor Trevor Johnson, believing You for his healing. There are so many others suffering with sickness, disease, disobedience, bondage, addiction, low self esteem, and other strong holds; But, we know You have already conquered them all, so we can be of good cheer and shout the victor's shout because You're working all things together for our good. We pray as we deal with our individual issues that presently don't look or feel good, that we remember Your past reputation in our lives and know You are the same, today, yesterday and forever, and believe You will continue to be faithfully good to us. We shall stand on Your Word and declare, "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us!" Today is a good day made by our Great God, so we shall rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what. We give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Good morning Lord! Great are You O God and greatly are You to be praised! Thank You Lord for this beautiful day that You created for us. We thank You Lord because You didn't need anything from yesterday to make today, instead You bless us with a new day, everyday. All the days of our lives You have been faithful and for this we give You praise. It's a new day and we thank You for giving us another fresh start. We have the privilege of living today and making the choice to forget about all that didn't go as we planned yesterday and trust You today, believing everything that happens You already knew it would happen. Nothing takes You by surprise, so it makes sense to stay in constant communication with You--O what needless pains we bear all because we don't carry everything to our faithful God in prayer. We surrender our lives to You and we ask You to help us trust You to direct our path. Help us trust You to work all things together for our good--and while we wait, help us not add anything to the "all things" by insisting on doing things our way. Lord, help us trust Your voice and believe You're speaking because You know what's best for us. Lord, You are aware of the distractions that wait for us today, strengthen us now and give us the courage to yield not to temptation. Praying each one has a new determination to move forward expecting great things from our Great God, we pray also for Apostle Rebecca Washington-Berry, Bishop Eldoris Bonner, Mother Mercedes Snowden, and the Wadsworth Family during theri time of bereavement, strengthen them where they are weak, and lift themup where they are torn down, in Jesus Name, Amen.
We praise Your Name Jesus. We worship and adore You. We thank You for the blessing and privilege to see this day filled with Your grace and mercy. We thank You for giving us another chance to live out our purpose and be all You created us to be. We have another chance to live a life pleasing in Your sight. Another chance to walk away from the things or people we know are not good for us. We thank You for another chance to refuse an argument, dismiss a disagreement, stand on Your promises and walk a few steps closer to the other side of through. We thank You for the privilege to approach Your Throne of Grace boldly and expect help in our time of need. We confess we need You every second, minute and hour of the day; There is no way we could live without You. We pray each one desires to be more sensitive to Your voice today and be determined to be obedient to You. Your are the source of our strength and the strength of our life, help us this day to lean on You. Family and friends are a blessing to have, but Lord there is nothing like being safe in Your arms. You promised to never leave us, help us remember that truth throughout this day and trust You to keep Your Word. We offer praise to the most high God, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Good morning Lord! We praise Your Name Jesus! We thank You for being our Rock, our Fortress, our Deliverer and for proving to us over and over again that You are our mighty God and we can most definitely trust You. Lord, we're praying for Della Ford and family as they deal with the passing of her brother, Charles Crawford. Asking a special blessing for his 94 year old mother, Cora Paige. Surround them with Your loving arms of comfort and envelop them with Your peace. Grant traveling grace for the family coming from out of State. We're praying for all those battling sickness and disease. You know each one by name, so we're asking for a mighty healing touch from You. Bless each one who reads this prayer with peace, protection, and provision. Help us to know whatever our "it" is, You can handle it, so it's good to trust You in all things. Your Word tells us to give thanks in everything, we confess sometimes our circumstances are so great, it seems as if we will never get through---during those times help us remember our God is the Great I AM. You are the King of Glory, You are strong and mighty and mighty in battle! Help us remember our TRUTH is, we are who we are because of Whose we are, SO we always have a reason to give thanks in every situation. Today is another great day that You made for us, help us not waste one minute fussing, complaining or whining, but instead purpose in our hearts to rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what. We give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Our Father, we thank You for blessing us to see another beautiful day. We thank You for eyes to see, ears to hear, legs to walk. a mouth to talk and hands to reach out and touch our fellowman. We thank You Lord because even when our eyes can't see, ears can't hear, legs are not functional, words cannot be uttered, still You have provided us with Seeing Eye dogs, hearing aids, walking canes, wheelchairs, sign language and so much more---ALL our needs, Your faithful hand has provided, thank You Lord. We pray each one takes the time to think things over and come to the conclusion, we have so much to be grateful for. We may not have all we desire, but Your Word tells us to delight ourselves in the Lord and You will give us the desire of our heart. You have placed things in order for us to have all we desire, the rest is up to us. We pray each one desires to please You more and more each day. We pray the words we speak and actions we take are powered by our desire to glorify You in all we say and do. Help us to remember, the world is watching us, for some we are the only Bible they will ever read. We pray each one remembers Your command to love one another and know by our love one to another, people will know we belong to You. We ask a special healing touch for Josh Coy; You know his situation and we know there is nothing too hard for You to do. Today is a good day to put the past behind us and press forward making steps to pursue the purpose for which we are still here. We give You praise in advance for the many victories we shall experience this day, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Lord, You are good and Your mercy endures forever! We worship You for Who You are. You are good all the time, all the time You are good! We say, hallelujah, salvation and glory, honor and power unto the Lord our God. For the Lord our God is mighty. Yes, the Lord our God is omnipotent. The Lord our God is wonderful! All praises be to the King of kings and the Lord of lords, You are wonderful! We thank You Lord for waking us to see another wonderful day, filled with Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace. We thank You Lord because if it had not been for You on our sides, we don't know where we would be. There are many who have turned their backs on us, many who have betrayed us, many who have said they will always have our backs; But, our experience has been You are the only One Who has stuck by us through thick and thin. Whether we're right or wrong, You remain the same God full of mercy and grace. Thank You Lord! You know everything there is to know about us, but still You keep doing great things for us. Thank You Lord! Today we shall go forth thinking of Your goodness, with a new determination not to be distracted. We shall be mindful of Your constant unconditional love to us, always. Everything else is insignificant and should not gain more attention than Your constant love to us. It's a great day today and we purpose in our hearts right now to rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what. Lord, we ask a special prayer for Bro. Darrell Adams, Bro. Frank Harrris and Bro. Jarrod Williams, Lord keep them and protect them as only YOU can. You are good all the time and we shall relax in Your never ending love to us, believing, "You've got this!" In Jesus Name, Amen.
IS IT REALLY THAT SERIOUS? Every day of our lives we have an, “Is it really that serious” moment. Breakfast was a little cold. Husband didn’t let the toilet seat down. The black blouse and black pants don’t match exactly. You forgot your lunch. The person in front of you is driving too slow. The person in the car next to you is staring at you. Your co-worker forgot to make the coffee. The meeting was supposed to start 10 minutes ago. A friend didn’t say good morning. All of these things have the potential of ruining your day, so the question has to be, “Is it really that serious?” Every little thing does not have to become a thing.
Too often we let things that should not matter, matter too much. We let the fact that someone else is having a bad day become our issue and we allow it to ruin our day. Stop! It’s really not that serious. We let too much of our lives pass us by dealing with things, when we think about it, are not our issue and should neither concern nor affect us.
You will have an, “Is it really that serious” moment today, don’t brush it off, have your moment. Ask yourself the question, "Is it really that serious?" BUT, before you answer it consider this; God has given you another chance to draw closer to Him. He has given you another chance to say yes to His will. He has given you another chance to live out your purpose. He has given you another chance to take one more step towards the other side of through where your blessing awaits you.
Now answer the question, “Is it really that serious?” Things happen, but if you don't give it all of your attention, most of the time it will go away. If “they” want to have a bad day, let them! It’s really not that serious. Purpose in your heart to have a great day on purpose, no matter what---it really is that serious!
TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER Our Father in heaven, Lord we praise You for Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace. We praise You Lord because You desire to be our all in all and through it all we can trust You always. For those of us who are struggling with having something or someone in Your place, give us the courage to let go and allow You to have Your way in our lives. Help us to know we can't live without You. You are the air we breathe, our light in darkness, our strength in weakness, our way where there seems to be no way. There are many forces fighting against us, trying to distract us, but help us to know with our whole being that the Lord our God is strong and mighty and mighty in battle. The battles we continue to fight are wasted energy, help us to know if we hold our peace and allow You to fight our battles, we can shout the victory by faith, NOW! You alone are our strength and shield, help us desire to worship You and You alone. We declare today will be better than yesterday. What affected us yesterday will NOT affect us today. Today we shall walk in victory and know in all things we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus Who loves us and continues to give us the victory. We love You Lord and we praise You for being the only constant we have. You constantly, consistently love us no matter what and for this we give You praise. We're praying for Precious Carter, and our young young friend who is in a coma, asking You to move mightily with Your healing touch. We also lift unto you the families of Latrice Simmons, Gebry Blackshear and Michael Williams, all who mourn/celebrate the tgransitioning of loved ones, in Jesus Name, Amen.
THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER Good morning Love of our life.. We praise Your Name Lord Jesus! You're our Rock, our Fortress, our Deliverer, our Friend, in You O Lord do we trust! On this Valentine's Day, we praise You because no matter what, You are our forever Valentine. You love us through good and bad times. You love us even though we're not perfect and sometimes neglect to recognize Your forever presence in our lives. Thank You Lord for Your unconditional love to us always. There is no candy, no roses, no diamonds, no steak and lobster that will ever compare to the gift of love You so freely give to us every day of our lives. We thank You for being so in love with us, not just today, but always. We thank You Lord for loving us so much until You keep Your promise to never leave us, no matter what. Thank You Lord because it feels so good to be loved by the Almighty God Who continues to shower us with blessings and You make everyday special. We pray one for another, asking You to help us love ourselves so much until mediocrity is not an option. So much until we not settle for anything or anybody in the meantime, but instead expect greatness in all things. Bless those who are struggling where they are right now, help them to know You see them and You're working all things together for their good. Give us the strength to trust You to work our "it" out and the courage to keep moving forward. It's a great day today and we shall rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.
TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER: O Lord, our God, how excellent is Thy Name in all the earth! We praise You Lord because we know for a fact, there is NONE like You in all the earth. We praise You because You are all mighty, all knowing, and everywhere present at the same time. You are loving, merciful, righteous, just and true --You are everything we need You to be and You love us always unconditionally. Thank You!! It's another new day that You have made and it doesn't matter if it's sunny, overcast, raining or snowing--it's an absolutely beautiful day and we're glad to still be alive to experience whatever the weather. We're glad to still be alive to experience our aches and pains. We're glad because You've given us another chance to work out our purpose. You've given us another chance to be obedient to You. You've given us another chance to forgive and move on. You've given us another chance to say, "good morning", "good afternoon" and "have a nice day". Lord, You're good and Your mercy endures forever! Thank You!! We pray one for another, asking that You will grant strength, direction, peace, healing, restoration, and courage. We pray each one knows fighting Your way is wasted strength and time; But rather it's always best to surrender our will to Your way. Help us to remember You remain true to Your Word always, so now is not the time to give up. Now is not the time to grow weary in well doing. Help us to hold on and believe we're just one praise away from our breakthrough. We're going forth today determined to do something new. No more of the same arguments, conversations and negative attitudes. We're expecting great things from our Great God! We offer praise to You and we thank You in advance for a victorious day, in Jesus Name, Amen.
WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER Our Father in heaven, we thank You for waking us to see one more day. In spite of the snow; it is another day we have not seen before; The fact of the matter is all the days of our lives we have never seen one day repeated. Each day is new, filled with new mercy, new blessings, and new opportunities. We thank You Lord because Your faithfulness to us is great. We thank You for supplying all our needs and for blessing us with a lot of what we want as well. We thank You for continuing to open doors and giving us the courage to walk through expecting victory. We have so much to be grateful for, so we say, "Thank You Lord!' We pray each one remembers today how You have always taken good care of us; And because You're the same yesterday, today and forever, today will be no different --You will continue to take good care of us. Give us the courage to cast our cares to You and trust You to work them together for good. It's a great day today and we praise You because with each step we take, we shall walk in victory. We're rejoicing and we're glad to be here one more day and we thank You for advancing us the victory today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION
HOW DO YOU SEE YOU?
Do you see yourself getting through what you’re going through?
Do you see yourself saying, “NO”, finally?
Do you see yourself realizing your value and dismissing everyone who does not?
Do you see yourself NOT going with the flow, because that’s not you?
Do you see yourself standing up for what you believe?
Do you see yourself victorious in all you do?
Do you see yourself healthy?
Do you see yourself delivered from that addiction?
Do you see yourself debt free?
Do you see yourself by yourself, if that means not being hurt anymore?
Do you see yourself being confident because you know who you are?
Do you see yourself letting go of the past, refusing to let it dictate your present and define your future?
In ALL these things you are more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus
If you can’t see it, maybe it’s time you change how you see you.
How do you see you?
TRUTH: How you see you is how others will see you and they will treat you based on how you show them “YOU”.
Are you tired of being used and abused? Tired of being lied to? Tired of being walked on and over?
If YOU are tired, then show them who YOU are.
You are beautifully and wonderfully made.
You can do all things through Christ Who gives you strength
You are a Designer’s Original, you’re one of a kind. There is no one like you or no one better than you.
How do you see you?
You are a child of the Most High God, with all the benefits and privileges of a King’s Child.
Take a look at yourself again. Now, act like who you are!

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER
Good morning Lord! We praise Your Name Lord Jesus! We sing, "Bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is within me. Bless Your holy Name. You have done great things, bless Your holy Name!" We thank You Lord for life, health and strength. Some of us are ill, but still we must say thank You, because we're still here to know we're not feeling well. We pray a special prayer for Fred Redd and DeCarlos Cannon, asking that You move mightily with Your healing touch. We pray one for another, asking that You draw each one closer to You, and that we fall in love with You so much until our desire becomes to please You, more and more. Lord, You speak to us every day of our lives, we hear You, but often times we ignore You or pretend we don't know Who's speaking; We pray each one understands You see everything and You know everything, so it's smart to obey Your voice. When we hear, "No", give us the will power to move on. When we hear, "Smile", help us with our stubbornness, smiling is free and is healthy. When we hear, "forgive", although it may be hard, it's in the category of "ALL things" --all things are possible if we believe. It's a great day today and we're going forth believing, "Nothing is impossible!" We can love where hate is prevalent. We can bring peace into a confused situation. We can walk away from arguments. We can take another step towards our goals, dreams and visions. We can rejoice and be glad in this day, no matter what! We give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.

WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER
Good morning Lord! We sing, "I love You Lord and I lift my voice to worship You, Oh my soul rejoice. Take joy my King in what You hear. Let it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear. We exalt You, Oh oh Lord!" Thank You Lord for waking us to see another beautiful perfect day. It is another day that we have never seen before, so we thank You for giving us something new every day of our lives. We shout out, "Hallelujah!!" Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies we see. All we have needed, Your hand has provided; Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto us! Lord, we're going forward today trusting You. We're trusting You because Your reputation in our lives is impeccable and we know You always have our best interest planned. We pray for continued strength to yield not to temptation. We are tempted everyday to go back to what we've been delivered from. We're tempted everyday to take matters into our hands and work them the way we desire. We've tempted everyday to strike back in order to get our point across. When these times come, Lord help us to take the time to ask our Savior to help us and believe You will carry us through. We're praying for Lois Gilmore and Patsy Turner, asking for a mighty healing touch from You, in the Name of Jesus. We pray for those whose names we do not know, those who are suffering with sickness, bereavement and so much more--search our hearts Lord and touch the one who we're thinking of right now, in the Name of Jesus. We thank You Lord in advance for a mighty move from our Mighty God in each life. It's a great day today and we shall rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER
Good morning Lord! We sing, "We worship You Almighty God, there is none like You. We worship You O Prince of Peace, that is what we want to do. We give You praise, for You are our righteousness. We worship You Almighty God, there is none like You." We thank You Lord because You know everything there is to know about us, but still You call us friend and continue to love us unconditionally. Yesterday we did some things we shouldn't have, we said some things we should have kept to ourselves; But still this morning You woke us with Your merciful touch--We thank You for another chance to say yes to Your will. Lord, as we approach the day we call Christmas, the day we're supposed to celebrate Your birth, we pray each one remembers You. Help each one to know after Christmas is over, we still must live and it's best to live within our means now so we won't be stressed after Christmas is over. As we approach the end of another year, we pray each one begins their New Year's resolution now, because if we need to do it in the new year, we need to start now. Today is a good day to make the first step to being what we say we're going to be in 2013. Today is a good day to start doing what we say we're going to do in 2013. Today is a good day for new beginnings, so we shall use our NOW faith to make the first step! It's a great day today, we pray each one sees the beauty of today and purpose in our hearts to rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER
Thank You Lord. Thank You Lord. Thank You Lord, we just want to thank You Lord. You've been so good, we just want to thank You Lord. You've been our friend, we just want to thank You Lord. You continue to make a way, we just want to thank You Lord. We thank You for Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace. We thank You Lord for opening our eyes to see another day. We thank You for family, friends and enemies too. We thank You for another chance to say yes to Your will. We thank You Lord for truly You have done great things for us. Lord, You have brought us through sickness, disease, addictions, troubled times, heartache, pain--so we just want to thank You Lord. We have so much to thank You for and our desire is not to take anything for granted; We thank You Lord for all You've done for us. All that we've needed, Your faithful hand has provided. Great is Thy faithfulness! We pray one for another, praying that each one takes the time to think back over their lives and recognize things don't have to be as well as they are; And it's by Your grace and mercy that we're still here. We pray each one is more sensitive to the fact, You didn't bring us this far to leave us now, so the best thing for us to do is keep holding on to our faith. We're continuing to pray for Lois Gilmore. You know her condition and no matter how serious it may seem to man, it's just right for You--touch, heal and deliver Lord, in the Name of Jesus. We're also praying for Kathy Harris, she too is standing in the need of a healing touch from You. Today is a good day to praise the Lord, no matter what. It's a good day to be thankful in all things and we shall rejoice and be glad in this day, in Jesus Name, Amen.

WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER
O Come let us adore Him! O Come let us adore Him! O Come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord! For He alone is worthy! Lord, we thank You for waking us to see the day after Christmas. We were excited yesterday and we're still excited today because You are the same yesterday, today and forever! You are always faithful, loving, kind, compassionate, true, just--and we give You all the glory! You are the reason! Without You, there would be no us, hallelujah Jesus! We love You Lord and our hearts are filled with praise! Thank You for being Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace--and with everything that You are You love us, thank You! We praise You for always living up to Your Name! This morning we're not asking for anything, we just want to love on You. We're excited today because it is another day we have the privilege of walking and talking with You, we give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER
Our Father, our Lord, our Savior, our King we offer praises to You! You are the only true and living God and we love You! Thank You for opening our eyes to see another day filled with Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace. We don't know what today will bring, but we're excited because our lives are in Your hands and we know we're in good hands. We're in the hands of our loving God Who promised to never leave us or forsake us. We're in the hands of God Almighty and You're never intimidated by any circumstance or situation. We pray each one trusts You enough to obey Your voice and follow Your lead. There is so much going on around us, so many are going through and some are at the point of almost giving up--Lord, help us remember Who You are in the midst of it all. Help us remember all the many times You brought us through. All the many times You did what man said couldn't be done. All the many times we thought we wouldn't make it through, but You spoke peace and gave us the strength to ride through the storm. You are a mighty God and we praise You for loving us with all Your might. We're praying for Fred Redd, draw him closer to You and grant him peace. We're trusting You for a mighty healing touch from You and we believe a testimony is on the way. Today is a great day, we pray one for another asking You to give us the courage to give You a sacrifice of praise and believe our victory lies in our "right now" praise. In Jesus Name, Amen.

HE'LL CARRY YOU NOW
Time is filled with swift transitions.
People are here today, gone tomorrow.
Healthy one day, fighting for their lives the next.
Families are together this week, asking, “Where is mom/dad?” the next.
Best friends for many years, struggling to be mere acquaintances today.
Everything must change; they say nothing remains the same.
But who would have thought "I" would be experiencing what I am right now?
Not in a million years would I have thought “THIS” would be me!
So what do you do when your world is turned upside down?
What do you do when the little hope you had is now gone?
Who do you run to when your brother has let go of your hand?
Your sister doesn't understand?
Your mother can't dry your tears?
Your father can't be there?
And your best friend can’t be found?
Well, in the words of the song,”There's Jesus and He'll never let you down”.
He’s the same yesterday, today and forever. When all else fails, look for Him.
He's waiting patiently in line for you to notice He has never left you, in fact, if you let Him He'll carry you now.
Don't wait for a perceived bad situation to look for Jesus, look up He sees you in the good as well as the bad. He’s always standing with His arms wide open, extending the invitation, “Come to Me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”
Don’t carry what your body is not designed to carry, let it all go, trust HIM and He’ll carry YOU now.

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER**********HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for waking us to see the last day of 2012. It's been a great year, we've had ups and downs, but through it all we're learning to trust in You and depend on Your Word. We pray each one will continue to have the courage to be strong in the Lord and in Your mighty power. We pray each one will get dressed and put on the full Armor of God, so we can stand against the tricks and schemes of the devil. Help us to realize our fight is not against flesh and blood, so when we find ourselves getting upset with our brother or sister, help us to remember it's a trick. We pray each one purposes in their heart to keep standing and having done all to stand, be determined to stand. We pray each one gets serious about their High Calling and purpose in their heart to run the race with patience. Help us to know there is so much more Kingdom building we must do and the time is now. It's time we use our individual gifts provided by You, come together and use them to glorify our Father in heaven. We pray each one will surrender all to You on this last day of the year and begin the new year trusting You to lead, guide and direct our paths. A New Year's Resolution is not necessary, but a new commitment to You is--give us the wisdom and courage to do so. We shout out, "Hallelujah Jesus!!!" and we thank You for another chance to say YES to YOUR will, in Jesus Name, Amen.

WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, we again say thank You for blessing us to see the beginning of another year. Last year is gone and some of us declared we wouldn't bring the old into the new, but already the old seems to be dominating. We pray each one recognizes the enemy does not start over just because it's a new year, but rather the goal to kill, steal and destroy lives on. The enemy will not ease up because we made a resolution or commitment, but rather the desire to sift us as wheat remains. Lord, help us remember we have immediate access to Your throne of grace and if we approach boldly we can expect Your help in our time of need. O what needless pains we bare all because we don't care everything to our faithful God in prayer. We pray each one remembers to make our requests known unto You and trust You to give us peace that surpasses all understanding. Help us to remember our fight is not against flesh and blood, but there are always wicked spiritual forces working against us. Fighting one another, being angry, holding grudges plays right into the enemy's hand and causes us to be disobedient to Your Word--You told us, "A New Commandment I give unto you, that You love one another as I have loved you . . . by this shall all men know you are My disciples". Open our eyes that we may see, having love one to another is Kingdom Building business and it's time we be about it. We pray for those suffering with cold/flu/other illnesses (Barbara Washington, Zelma Hawkins, Della Ford, Kyria LeFlore), we know a few names, but You know all names--move mightily, touch, heal and deliver, in the Name of Jesus. It's a great day today, help us to remember our High Calling, focus on our goals and move forward. We give You praise in advance for the victory today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for waking us to see another new day. We thank You for new mercy. We thank You for new air to breathe, new light to see, new sounds to hear, new smiles to share and most importantly new praise on our lips --hallelujah Jesus! Lord we say, "Bless the Lord O My Soul and all that is within me, bless His holy Name!" We thank You Lord because You have done, are doing and will continue to do great things. Lord with all the "new" You have already provided us today we pray each one will show our appreciation to You by not insisting on dragging the old things of yesterday into this new day. We pray each one will see there are some things designed by the enemy to keep us distracted and as long as we insist on having them there, we will continue to be distracted, frustrated and left feeling a void. Give us clear vision so we may recognize what those things are and the courage and strength to say, "Enough is enough, I'm moving forward." We pray each one purposes in their heart to make new steps forward today, with a determination to not go back. Time is winding up and continuing to do the "two step"-- two steps forward and two steps back is outdated. It's time for a new dance, a new praise, a new worship, a new attitude, a new commitment and a new determination to have new thoughts, new ideas and new goals. We thank You for the first day of the best days of our lives--we're moving forward, in Jesus Name, Amen.

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE, A NEW DAY, A NEW YEAR?
What’s the difference, a new day, a new year?
The new year began a day after yesterday.
Yesterday’s trouble, heartache and pain did not end because it’s a new year.
The affects of the argument you had New Year’s Eve did not ease when the clock struck 12:01.
Illnesses suffered with yesterday, still have you concerned today.
What’s the difference, a new day, a new year?
We said, “I’m not bringing 2012 into 2013”. But really, how could you not?
It’s a new year, but it’s just the day after yesterday.
It’s the 4th day of the new year and already people are frustrated because 2013 looks a lot like 2012.
People are frustrated because what they said wouldn’t happen in 2013, is already happening.
Calm down everybody! What’s the difference, a new day, a new year?
Year after year we set ourselves up for failure by saying what’s not going to happen.
How about we take one minute, one hour, one day at a time?
Do your best today to take a step forward and don’t forget to celebrate the one step forward.
God gives us something new each day; Take the time to celebrate the new and not concentrate so hard on forgetting the old.
It’s a new year, but what’s the difference, a new day, a new year?
Today we have a new opportunity to appreciate God for all “the new” He continues to bless us with each day of our lives. All that we said we would do in 2013, start today one minute at a time. For each step forward, celebrate progress and before you know it, all that you said you would do—you’re doing it. And, all that you said you wouldn’t do is no longer a thought, because you have moved forward one step at a time.
Happy New Day!

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER
Lord, we thank and praise You for opening our eyes to see another brand new day. We thank You for a wonderful weekend and we stand on tip toe anticipation for a week filled with victory after victory. We're thanking You in advance for healing those who are sick, strengthening those who are weak and delivering those who are in bondage. Many of us have made a new commitment to be better, do better and stick to it; We ask that You will continue to give us new strength and help us to be more determined each day to be/do better than the day before. We pray each one knows all things are possible to them that believe. If we can think it, we can achieve it, the sky is the limit for all of God's children. We pray for our children as they prepare to go back to school, build a hedge of protection all around them that they may be safe from the physical and spiritual attack of the enemy. We pray for the teachers, administrators and staff, strengthen their love, concern and compassion for the children and help them do their best to make a difference. It's the first Monday of the new year, we don't regret having to go to work, instead we're offering praise to You for blessing us with a job to go to. We're blessed and we know we're blessed by our Almighty God! Thank You! We give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Good morning Lord! We worship and praise You because You're good and Your mercy endures forever! Morning by morning new mercy we see, great is Your faithfulness. We love You Lord! We worship You Lord! We praise You Lord! We thank You Lord for the blessing and privilege to approach Your throne of Grace boldly, expecting a mighty move from You in our lives. We pray one for another, asking You to help us remember, understand and be mindful of the fact that You blessed us with one life to live and one body to take care of. You extended the open invitation to, “Come to Me, all who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest;” Help us to accept Your invitation. Open our eyes so we will see our bodies are not designed to carry stress and heavy loads. You created us to praise and worship You, in obedience to You. Lord, help us see everything we should be doing to bring glory to You, and give us the strength to let go all we should carry to You and allow You to work out. We pray each one develops a desire to trust You more and more each day, and with each day surrender more to You. We thank You for blessing us to see this beautiful day, we shall rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what. We thank You Lord because we recognize You to be the source of our strength and the strength of our lives, so we're lifting our hands in total praise to You, thanking You in advance for the victory today. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Our Father in heaven, we offer praises to You because You are our refuge, our strength, our present help, our strong tower, our rock, our healer, our deliverer; You are everything to us, You mean the world to us and we love You! We love You because Your love to us is always amazing. In spite of the many times we choose our way instead of Your way, You continue to love us unconditionally and for this we give You praise. Thank You Lord for blessing us to see another day and for giving us another chance to say yes to Your will. We thank You for always being worthy of all the praise. We thank You Lord because we don't have to think hard, we don't have to look far or listen close, we can always sense Your nearness and feel Your presence wherever we go, thank You for always keeping Your Word to us. Lord we pray for each eye that will read this prayer and each ear that will hear, asking that You continue to draw us closer to You and that we make a conscious decision to do our best in Your presence today. Help us remember everywhere we go, in all that we do and say, You are there and our goal should always be to please You. The words we speak, the actions we take, let everything we do be to Your glory. We pray someone will be blessed today by the love we share through our smiles. We pray someone will be encouraged today by the simple words, "Good morning" and "Have a nice day". We pray each person will open up to You and declare, "Here I am Lord, use me." Today is the day to let our light shine. Today is the day to let the world see You through us. Today is the day to take another step forward in living out our purpose, the victory belongs to us, in Jesus Name, Amen.

We pray one for another, asking that You will give us the courage to trust You with all our heart and lean not to our own understanding. In all our ways, before we do anything, acknowledge You first and believe You will direct our path. We thank You for hearing and answering our prayers--You're continuing to heal. You're continuing to deliver. You're continuing to bring us through. You're continuing to make ways where there seems to be no way. You're continuing to close doors that we can't pry open, help us to know it's for our good. You're continuing to give us new strength. We pray each one is reminded of the fact that You are the same yesterday, today and forever; Which means You will continue to be the same God that You continue to be; Which further means we can trust You with our lives. You see all, know all and can do all--help us to know it's best to surrender all to You. It's a great day today, we shall rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what. In Jesus Name we pray, Amen.

We praise Your Name Jesus! We thank You Lord for opening our eyes to another new day filled with Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace. We thank You Lord for our life, health and strength. We thank You Lord because You just keep on being God, no matter what we say or do. You continue to be faithful even when we're unfaithful. You continue to be loving even when we refuse to obey Your command to have love one to another. You continue to be merciful even when we refuse to acknowledge it's been You all the time keeping us from day to day; It's been You opening doors for us and refusing to let anyone close them; It's been You causing us to live, move and have our being ---We thank You Lord because You keep doing great things for us, no matter what we say or do. We pray each one appreciates Your never ending love to us more by praising You with the lives we live. We thank You for today and because we know tomorrow is not promised, we will live today to be a blessing to someone else. We will live today forgetting about the wrong that was done yesterday. We will live today letting our light shine so that those who need to see You, will see You through us. We will live today offering praises to the Most High God, the only True and Living God, our Rock, our Savior, our Redeemer, our Strength, our Comforter, our Peace, our Lord, our Savior, our King!

Lord, we thank You for loving us just the way we are; You know everything there is to know about us and still You call us friend. We thank You for being the kind of friend Who we can talk to about everything and our worry is never that You will judge us, but You continue to pour Your love on us and assure us there is nothing too bad that You can't fix and make good. We pray one for another, asking that You will help us remember Who our friend is; You've blessed us with humans to call friend, but we pray no one forgets You are the only constant friend we have. Help us remember You're with us everywhere we go today, so there is no need for us to tackle any situation alone. Help us to remember we can do all things through Christ Who gives us strength. So, we're going forth today with vision and purpose; AND we shall let nothing trick us, discourage us, or stop us from rejoicing and being glad in this beautiful day that You made for us. We praise You Lord and we thank You in advance for giving us the confidence and the assurance that we can trust our Best Friend, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Good morning Lord! It's mighty nice to see another beautiful day and know our God is still the reigning King of kings and Lord of lords. Bless each one to know, today will be so much better if we would only remember, You reign forever and with all of Your power You're on our side. The truth that You're on our side makes us automatically winners! We win because there is nothing too hard for You to do. We win because You are faithful, You did it yesterday and You will do it today. We win because You're all knowing, You know what's best for us and if we follow Your game-plan we will continue to be champions. We win because You're all powerful and You have empowered us to go. We can go forth with the plan to glorify You with our visions, dreams, and goals knowing we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus. We pray each one knows we're on the winning team and it's time to start playing like the winners we are. Help us to know winners don't fuss, complain, whine, or have pity-parties; Winners simply play the game. Winners run the race with confidence knowing when a hurdle comes You will give us the strength to jump over, and with each obstacle You will give us the wisdom, strength and courage to get through. We pray each one goes forth today displaying their "winner light" and praising their "Winning coach" knowing the victory belongs to us. We're rejoicing and being glad in this day, no matter what, in Jesus Name, Amen.

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION
TODAY DOES NOT HAVE TO BE LIKE YESTERDAY
You worried yesterday, today trust God. Worrying affects your health and quite frankly, does not look good on you.
You were grouchy yesterday, today smile. Being grouchy makes you miserable and causes others to run when they see you coming.
Yesterday you were sick and you let everybody know it. Today speak Truth, “I am healed, I am well, in the Name of Jesus!”
Yesterday you found pleasure in reminding others of what they did. Today remember you have a past as well. What would you do if God held your past against you?
Yesterday you asked the Lord for more and thanked Him less. Today switch it around, thank the Lord more and ask for less, got’ta feeling things will work out better for you.
Yesterday you continued the ”two step” from the day before-- two steps forward and two steps back. Today do a new dance called, “forward march”. Bust a move, get “jiggy wit it”, have fun, but keep moving forward! Why keep going back to where you’ve been before?
Today can be the first day of the best days of your life, but that depends on you. Will you renew your mind today and purpose in your heart to rejoice and be glad in this day, no matter what?
Everyday declare, “Today will not be like yesterday”. Do something that will make someone smile and be happy you are here today.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for waking us to see another new day. We thank You for all that our eyes have seen, our ears have heard and our hearts have been made to bear witness. Out of all that we've seen, heard and felt our conclusion is, You are: Loving, kind, compassionate, good, gracious, merciful, forgiving, faithful, just-- You are the Great I Am ALL time and we love You for loving us with all of You. We pray one for another, asking that You will help us remember there is no need to panic today, there is no need to worry today, there is no need to allow ourselves to get angry today, there is no need to take matters into our own hands today--because the same God that has kept us all the days of our lives is still on the throne. You're still healing, You're still delivering, You're still making ways where there seem to be no way, You're still opening doors man thought were closed air tight, You're still the only true and living God and all we need to do today is trust You, worship You and praise You with our lives because "You've got ALL of this!" It's a great day made by our Great God and we're expecting great things. We thank You for bringing Cora Carter through her surgery and we're thanking You in advance for a speedy recovery. We pray for our family and friends, asking that You will heal the sick, deliver those in bondage, lift up bowed down heads and if there is anything we can do to make today better, we surrender all to You, use us in this great day to do great things, in Jesus Name, Amen.

We looked around and our family and friends are well and we're glad about it! We're glad because You blessed us to see another beautiful day. We're glad because all our needs Your hand has provided. We're glad because goodness and mercy continues to follow us everywhere we go. We're glad because our God is an awesome God! We're glad because Your faithfulness to us is great all the time. We're glad because absolutely nothing can separate us from Your unconditional love to us---thank You Lord for blessing us to see another perfect day, we shall rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what! We're praying one for another, asking that You help us to stay focused and on course today. There are many distractions that continue to surround us everyday, give us the wisdom to know distractions are designed to take us off course. Distractions keep us from thinking great, doing great, and expecting great. Open our eyes so we will see the distraction and give us the courage to say "no" and continue to move forward in the things You have called us to do. We can do all things through Christ Who gives us strength; Help us to know our dreams, visions and goals are included in "all things". Today is the day to continue pursuing our "all things" and know You have already given us the victory, but we have to do our work. We love You Lord and we praise You in advance for our realized victory today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

We worship You O mighty God, there is none like You. We worship You O Prince of Peace, that is what we love to do. We give You praise, for You are our righteousness. We worship You O mighty God, there is none like You! Thank You Lord for waking us to see another beautiful day. It may be raining outside and for some it's raining in our personal lives, but still it's a beautiful day because You made it. Help us to know because You made this day, there is nothing about this day that will take You by surprise. Help us begin this day leaning on You and believe even if something happens that takes us by surprise, You're already busy working it together for good; So we will trust You Lord. This morning we lift the family of Larvine Johnson to You, asking that You draw them closer to You, so they will experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding. We pray one for another, asking that each one recognizes time is winding up, we're closer today to meeting You face to face than we ever have been. It's time we be about Your business, more today than we were yesterday. You told us to have love one to another and by our love one to another people will know we belong to You. Help us to know the love we display will cause others to see You and become curious about receiving Who we have--that's Kingdom Business. Give us the strength and courage to walk away from the things that are causing us to concentrate more on our feelings, anger and opinions. Help us dismiss the things that continue to distract us and cause us to not be concerned about the reason we're here. We're here to glorify Your Name. We're here to live out the purpose for which You created us. We're here to point others to You by the life we live. We pray each one is serious today about living so You can use us. Today is a great day, it's the best day to live out the love that You continue to freely give to us unconditionally. Today is the best day to leave yesterday where it is and press forward today believing we are more than conquerors, in Jesus Name, Amen.

GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME
Question: When you woke up this morning what was the first thing you thought about?
Was it the argument you had last night?
The disappointment you experienced last week?
Your job? The fact that you don't have a job?
Your health? Your bills? Your relationship or lack thereof?
What was your first thought?
I compare life to a basketball game, if your head is not in the game you will make bad passes, miss the layup, shoot bricks and you won’t be ready for the “no look” pass.
The best way to have a great game each day is to think about the “Coach’s Playbook” all the time.
Our first thought in the morning should be, “Thank You Lord for one more day”.
Just as we exercise to form our muscles, we must exercise our thoughts to form our mind. Thinking about things we cannot change weakens our mind; Hence our thoughts are weak and not centered around TRUTH. The fact is, if your first thought was not, “Thank You Lord”, you woke up with your head not in the game and your thoughts not centered around TRUTH.
The fact is, “In this world we shall have tribulations—things that get us down, discourage us, tempt us, etc. But TRUTH said, “Be of good cheer for I have overcome the world.” If we don’t think we are winners, we will struggle to win the game.
Let’s get our head in the game. Here’s the game plan
1. Get to know the Coach
2. Listen to and trust the Coach
3. Praise the Coach
4. Follow the plays the Coach has written on the board (Bible)
5. Worship the Coach because of His great reputation
Get your head in the game, practice going to sleep saying, “Thank You” and waking up saying, “Thank You”. Saying “Thank You” is a great start to a great Game Day.
Our coach has the Master Game Plan which says, “Bottom line, we win!” Let’s go team!!! Today we’re playing another game we automatically win. Don’t concentrate on the score, just play the game and trust our Coach.

You're the King of kings and the Lord of lords and most definitely You are our wonderful Savior and Prince of Peace. Thank You Lord for waking us to see another one of Your perfect days. It doesn't matter what the weather man says, You are the One Who controls the weather, so rain, shine, snow or sleet, it's a great day made by our Great God and we shall rejoice and be glad in it. We're praying one for another, asking You to help us take a look at ourselves today. Let each one say, "It's not my mother, father, nor sister or brother, but it's me O Lord and I'm standing in the need of a touch from You." Praying today we not concern ourselves with what others are saying about us, but that our goal be to please You, so that You will say, "Well done". Open our eyes so we will be aware of the tricks and schemes of the enemy who will do whatever necessary to distract us from being all that You created us to be. The enemy is doing whatever necessary to kill, steal and destroy our dreams and keep us from living inside-out. We pray each one will recognize the bitterness they have towards another is an arrangement made by the enemy and as long as we stay bitter or angry, we're forfeiting our status of "More than Conquerors". Help us look at one another through "love eyes" and see the beauty You have planted within each of us. We have all made mistakes, said things we shouldn't have said, and acted in a manner that does not exemplify who we are, but still You love us unconditional. Give us the courage and strength to follow Your lead and obey Your command to have love one to another. Today we shall let the Jesus in us be visible to all. We thank You Lord in advance for a victorious day today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for the blessing and the privilege to still be here another glorious day. We thank You for another chance to say yes to Your will. We thank You for another opportunity to draw closer to You and be compelled to go where You tell us to go; Speak what You tell us to speak and do what You tell us to do. We pray each one recognizes how good and how pleasant it is to dwell together in love and unity. We pray all disagreements will be dismissed. All wrong doings will be forgiven. All hurt will be soothed. All sickness will be healed. We're praying for those who are suffering with the dreaded disease called, Cancer. Help them to know, You always have the final say so, grant them peace that surpasses all understanding. We're praying those who are depressed, sad or lonely will have the courage to lift up their heads and expect the King of Glory to come in and speak deliverance. We're praying all who are in bondage will be set free and feel empowered to live the abundant life You have called us to. Bless each one to know with certainty, we can do all things through Christ Who gives us strength and advance victory. Today we're walking in victory. We're walking in love. We're walking in peace. We're walking in joy. We're moving forward recognizing everything in the past we have already experienced and You're calling us to experience the new You have prepared for us today. Help us to know if makes sense to trust You with all our hearts and lean not to our own understanding. It makes sense to acknowledge You first in all our ways and expect You to direct our path. It makes sense to praise You with the lives we live today because You are a mighty God and You're worthy to be praised, in Jesus Name, Amen.

WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for blessing us to see one more day. Thank You for continuing to supply all our needs. Help us to know there are some things we need that we're not aware of, but You know, so in all things we must trust You and believe You're busy keeping Your Word. Lord, we're standing in agreement with Pastor Trevor Johnson, believing You for his healing. There are so many others suffering with sickness, disease, disobedience, bondage, addiction, low self esteem, and other strong holds; But, we know You have already conquered them all, so we can be of good cheer and shout the victor's shout because You're working all things together for our good. We pray as we deal with our individual issues that presently don't look or feel good, that we remember Your past reputation in our lives and know You are the same, today, yesterday and forever, and believe You will continue to be faithfully good to us. We shall stand on Your Word and declare, "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us!" Today is a good day made by our Great God, so we shall rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what. We give You praise, in Jesus Name, Amen.

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER
Good morning Lord! Great are You O God and greatly are You to be praised! Thank You Lord for this beautiful day that You created for us. We thank You Lord because You didn't need anything from yesterday to make today, instead You bless us with a new day, everyday. All the days of our lives You have been faithful and for this we give You praise. It's a new day and we thank You for giving us another fresh start. We have the privilege of living today and making the choice to forget about all that didn't go as we planned yesterday and trust You today, believing everything that happens You already knew it would happen. Nothing takes You by surprise, so it makes sense to stay in constant communication with You--O what needless pains we bear all because we don't carry everything to our faithful God in prayer. We surrender our lives to You and we ask You to help us trust You to direct our path. Help us trust You to work all things together for our good--and while we wait, help us not add anything to the "all things" by insisting on doing things our way. Lord, help us trust Your voice and believe You're speaking because You know what's best for us. Lord, You are aware of the distractions that wait for us today, strengthen us now and give us the courage to yield not to temptation. Praying each one has a new determination to move forward expecting great things from our Great God, we pray also for Apostle Rebecca Washington-Berry, Bishop Eldoris Bonner, Mother Mercedes Snowden, and the Wadsworth Family during theri time of bereavement, strengthen them where they are weak, and lift themup where they are torn down, in Jesus Name, Amen.

We praise Your Name Jesus. We worship and adore You. We thank You for the blessing and privilege to see this day filled with Your grace and mercy. We thank You for giving us another chance to live out our purpose and be all You created us to be. We have another chance to live a life pleasing in Your sight. Another chance to walk away from the things or people we know are not good for us. We thank You for another chance to refuse an argument, dismiss a disagreement, stand on Your promises and walk a few steps closer to the other side of through. We thank You for the privilege to approach Your Throne of Grace boldly and expect help in our time of need. We confess we need You every second, minute and hour of the day; There is no way we could live without You. We pray each one desires to be more sensitive to Your voice today and be determined to be obedient to You. Your are the source of our strength and the strength of our life, help us this day to lean on You. Family and friends are a blessing to have, but Lord there is nothing like being safe in Your arms. You promised to never leave us, help us remember that truth throughout this day and trust You to keep Your Word. We offer praise to the most high God, in Jesus Name, Amen.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER
Good morning Lord! We praise Your Name Jesus! We thank You for being our Rock, our Fortress, our Deliverer and for proving to us over and over again that You are our mighty God and we can most definitely trust You. Lord, we're praying for Della Ford and family as they deal with the passing of her brother, Charles Crawford. Asking a special blessing for his 94 year old mother, Cora Paige. Surround them with Your loving arms of comfort and envelop them with Your peace. Grant traveling grace for the family coming from out of State. We're praying for all those battling sickness and disease. You know each one by name, so we're asking for a mighty healing touch from You. Bless each one who reads this prayer with peace, protection, and provision. Help us to know whatever our "it" is, You can handle it, so it's good to trust You in all things. Your Word tells us to give thanks in everything, we confess sometimes our circumstances are so great, it seems as if we will never get through---during those times help us remember our God is the Great I AM. You are the King of Glory, You are strong and mighty and mighty in battle! Help us remember our TRUTH is, we are who we are because of Whose we are, SO we always have a reason to give thanks in every situation. Today is another great day that You made for us, help us not waste one minute fussing, complaining or whining, but instead purpose in our hearts to rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what.

Our Father, we thank You for blessing us to see another beautiful day. We thank You for eyes to see, ears to hear, legs to walk. a mouth to talk and hands to reach out and touch our fellowman. We thank You Lord because even when our eyes can't see, ears can't hear, legs are not functional, words cannot be uttered, still You have provided us with Seeing Eye dogs, hearing aids, walking canes, wheelchairs, sign language and so much more---ALL our needs, Your faithful hand has provided, thank You Lord. We pray each one takes the time to think things over and come to the conclusion, we have so much to be grateful for. We may not have all we desire, but Your Word tells us to delight ourselves in the Lord and You will give us the desire of our heart. You have placed things in order for us to have all we desire, the rest is up to us. We pray each one desires to please You more and more each day. We pray the words we speak and actions we take are powered by our desire to glorify You in all we say and do. Help us to remember, the world is watching us, for some we are the only Bible they will ever read. We pray each one remembers Your command to love one another and know by our love one to another, people will know we belong to You. We ask a special healing touch for Josh Coy; You know his situation and we know there is nothing too hard for You to do. Today is a good day to put the past behind us and press forward making steps to pursue the purpose for which we are still here. We give You praise in advance for the many victories we shall experience this day, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Lord, You are good and Your mercy endures forever! We worship You for Who You are. You are good all the time, all the time You are good! We say, hallelujah, salvation and glory, honor and power unto the Lord our God. For the Lord our God is mighty. Yes, the Lord our God is omnipotent. The Lord our God is wonderful! All praises be to the King of kings and the Lord of lords, You are wonderful! We thank You Lord for waking us to see another wonderful day, filled with Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace. We thank You Lord because if it had not been for You on our sides, we don't know where we would be. There are many who have turned their backs on us, many who have betrayed us, many who have said they will always have our backs; But, our experience has been You are the only One Who has stuck by us through thick and thin. Whether we're right or wrong, You remain the same God full of mercy and grace. Thank You Lord! You know everything there is to know about us, but still You keep doing great things for us. Thank You Lord! Today we shall go forth thinking of Your goodness, with a new determination not to be distracted. We shall be mindful of Your constant unconditional love to us, always. Everything else is insignificant and should not gain more attention than Your constant love to us. It's a great day today and we purpose in our hearts right now to rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what. Lord, we ask a special prayer for Bro. Darrell Adams, Bro. Frank Harrris and Bro. Jarrod Williams, Lord keep them and protect them as only YOU can. You are good all the time and we shall relax in Your never ending love to us, believing, "You've got this!" In Jesus Name, Amen.

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION
IS IT REALLY THAT SERIOUS?
Every day of our lives we have an, “Is it really that serious” moment.
Breakfast was a little cold. Husband didn’t let the toilet seat down. The black blouse and black pants don’t match exactly. You forgot your lunch. The person in front of you is driving too slow. The person in the car next to you is staring at you. Your co-worker forgot to make the coffee. The meeting was supposed to start 10 minutes ago. A friend didn’t say good morning. All of these things have the potential of ruining your day, so the question has to be, “Is it really that serious?” Every little thing does not have to become a thing.
Too often we let things that should not matter, matter too much. We let the fact that someone else is having a bad day become our issue and we allow it to ruin our day. Stop! It’s really not that serious. We let too much of our lives pass us by dealing with things, when we think about it, are not our issue and should neither concern nor affect us.
You will have an, “Is it really that serious” moment today, don’t brush it off, have your moment. Ask yourself the question, "Is it really that serious?" BUT, before you answer it consider this; God has given you another chance to draw closer to Him. He has given you another chance to say yes to His will. He has given you another chance to live out your purpose. He has given you another chance to take one more step towards the other side of through where your blessing awaits you.
Now answer the question, “Is it really that serious?” Things happen, but if you don't give it all of your attention, most of the time it will go away. If “they” want to have a bad day, let them! It’s really not that serious. Purpose in your heart to have a great day on purpose, no matter what---it really is that serious!

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, Lord we praise You for Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace. We praise You Lord because You desire to be our all in all and through it all we can trust You always. For those of us who are struggling with having something or someone in Your place, give us the courage to let go and allow You to have Your way in our lives. Help us to know we can't live without You. You are the air we breathe, our light in darkness, our strength in weakness, our way where there seems to be no way. There are many forces fighting against us, trying to distract us, but help us to know with our whole being that the Lord our God is strong and mighty and mighty in battle. The battles we continue to fight are wasted energy, help us to know if we hold our peace and allow You to fight our battles, we can shout the victory by faith, NOW! You alone are our strength and shield, help us desire to worship You and You alone. We declare today will be better than yesterday. What affected us yesterday will NOT affect us today. Today we shall walk in victory and know in all things we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus Who loves us and continues to give us the victory. We love You Lord and we praise You for being the only constant we have. You constantly, consistently love us no matter what and for this we give You praise. We're praying for Precious Carter, and our young young friend who is in a coma, asking You to move mightily with Your healing touch. We also lift unto you the families of Latrice Simmons, Gebry Blackshear and Michael Williams, all who mourn/celebrate the tgransitioning of loved ones, in Jesus Name, Amen.

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER
Good morning Love of our life.. We praise Your Name Lord Jesus! You're our Rock, our Fortress, our Deliverer, our Friend, in You O Lord do we trust! On this Valentine's Day, we praise You because no matter what, You are our forever Valentine. You love us through good and bad times. You love us even though we're not perfect and sometimes neglect to recognize Your forever presence in our lives. Thank You Lord for Your unconditional love to us always. There is no candy, no roses, no diamonds, no steak and lobster that will ever compare to the gift of love You so freely give to us every day of our lives. We thank You for being so in love with us, not just today, but always. We thank You Lord for loving us so much until You keep Your promise to never leave us, no matter what. Thank You Lord because it feels so good to be loved by the Almighty God Who continues to shower us with blessings and You make everyday special. We pray one for another, asking You to help us love ourselves so much until mediocrity is not an option. So much until we not settle for anything or anybody in the meantime, but instead expect greatness in all things. Bless those who are struggling where they are right now, help them to know You see them and You're working all things together for their good. Give us the strength to trust You to work our "it" out and the courage to keep moving forward. It's a great day today and we shall rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER:
O Lord, our God, how excellent is Thy Name in all the earth! We praise You Lord because we know for a fact, there is NONE like You in all the earth. We praise You because You are all mighty, all knowing, and everywhere present at the same time. You are loving, merciful, righteous, just and true --You are everything we need You to be and You love us always unconditionally. Thank You!! It's another new day that You have made and it doesn't matter if it's sunny, overcast, raining or snowing--it's an absolutely beautiful day and we're glad to still be alive to experience whatever the weather. We're glad to still be alive to experience our aches and pains. We're glad because You've given us another chance to work out our purpose. You've given us another chance to be obedient to You. You've given us another chance to forgive and move on. You've given us another chance to say, "good morning", "good afternoon" and "have a nice day". Lord, You're good and Your mercy endures forever! Thank You!! We pray one for another, asking that You will grant strength, direction, peace, healing, restoration, and courage. We pray each one knows fighting Your way is wasted strength and time; But rather it's always best to surrender our will to Your way. Help us to remember You remain true to Your Word always, so now is not the time to give up. Now is not the time to grow weary in well doing. Help us to hold on and believe we're just one praise away from our breakthrough. We're going forth today determined to do something new. No more of the same arguments, conversations and negative attitudes. We're expecting great things from our Great God! We offer praise to You and we thank You in advance for a victorious day, in Jesus Name, Amen.

We thank You for supplying all our needs and for blessing us with a lot of what we want as well. We thank You for continuing to open doors and giving us the courage to walk through expecting victory. We have so much to be grateful for, so we say, "Thank You Lord!' We pray each one remembers today how You have always taken good care of us; And because You're the same yesterday, today and forever, today will be no different --You will continue to take good care of us. Give us the courage to cast our cares to You and trust You to work them together for good. It's a great day today and we praise You because with each step we take, we shall walk in victory.

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION
DON’T LET “THEY” AND “THEM” DISTRACT YOU
You are known by what YOU do and what YOU say.
It doesn’t matter what I say about you, if you didn’t do it, what I say cannot change the truth.
We waste a lot of time chasing rumors, trying to get “them” straight.
Leave the rumor along and let “them” say what they will.
You will soon find out “they” will stop talking about you and move on to the next one “they” may devour.
Speaking of “them” and “they”, who are they anyway?
No one knows! Why? Because cowards are always throwing rocks and hiding their hands.
Don’t waste time on “them” and “they”. Your time is too precious.
Don’t waste time trying to be who “they” want you to be. “They” didn’t make you.
The reason “they” have so much time on their hands is because “they” don’t know who ”they” are.
Instead of talking about what “they” said, why don’t you use your words to speak well of our God.
Instead of chasing rumors, why don’t you use your energy to chase your dream.
God has placed something great in you, but “they” will do whatever to distract you.
“They” see the great in you, why don’t you?
Go forth today and forget about what “they” say. Go with what God says about you and let you shine!
