WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER: Our Father in heaven, we love You, we praise You, we lift up Your holy and righteous Name, for You are the only living God. We thank You for life, health and strength. We thank You for family and friends. We thank You for food, clothing and shelter. We thank You for being so good. We thank You for always being our friend. We thank You for always making a way. We thank You for the blessing that awaits us on the other side of through. We thank You for being patient with us. We thank You for making sure we have all we need. We thank You for the gifts and talents You’ve placed within us. We thank You for always providing direction and for redirecting us when we don’t follow Your direction. We have so much to thank You for, so we’re not asking for anything this morning, we just want to say, “Thank You Jesus!” We pray each one will live today showing all how thankful we are to our faithful God. Be glorified in our life today, in Jesus Name, Amen.
THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER: Our Father, we thank You for waking us to a new day. We thank You for protecting us throughout yesterday and for watching over us as we slept last night. We thank You Lord for Your promise to be with us always. Help us to remember, You with us is more than the whole world against us. Because You're with us, it doesn't matter what comes our way, if we trust You the victory will always belong to us. Lord help us to remember the victory is not always seen right away with our natural eye, but our faith in You helps us know it with our Spiritual eyes. Father, we pray one for another, asking You to give us the wisdom, strength and courage not to react based on what we see with our natural eye, but instead use our Spiritual eyes to know we can be of good cheer because You have already overcome all that we see with our natural eye. Today we will not let what we "see" get us down, we will not let what we "see" cause us to react negatively, we will not let what we "see" alarm us and cause us to fear, but instead we will use what we "KNOW" -- We "know" we're more than conquerors through Christ Jesus Who loves us. We "know" we can do all things through Christ Who strengthens us. We "know" greater is He Who's in us than he that's in the world. We "know" God's grace is sufficient for us! So, based on what we "know" we're not going to wait until the day is over to say thank You, but we're going to shout "hallelujah!' right now, for the victory already belongs to us, 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; O Lord, our God how excellent is Thy Name in all the earth. We love You, we praise You, we adore and we worship You because we know it is in You we live, move and have our being. It’s because of You we’re still alive and because we’re still here we know there is more You’re requiring of us. Thank You for another chance to do all we’ve been assigned to do. This is the day You have made, help each one to know part of our assignment is to rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what. Help us to know whether we’re happy or sad, our assignment is to glorify You in all we say and do. Lord we believe You and we trust You, but there are some areas we’re unsure of, some areas we doubt, we ask You to strengthen those areas and be glorified in our lives today. This morning we’re praying for Carolyn Moore, asking for Your mighty healing touch in her life. Draw her closer to You and grant her peace. We pray our Pastor, Apostle Rebecca Berry, asking you to restore all that she expended in ministering to the Body of Christ in both services on yesterday. We pray one for another, thanking You in advance for the victories we will experience today. We thank You in advance for the miracles that will be performed in our lives, and especially in our loved ones lives. We’re expecting You to exceed abundantly above all we’ve asked and are thinking, get glory in our lives today, in Jesus Name, Amen.
TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER: We praise the Name of Jesus! We thank You for being our Rock, our Fortress and our Deliverer, in You O Lord do we trust. We thank You for always being there to love us, comfort us, protect us, inspect us, direct us, correct us, provide for us, assure and validate us. We are confident in the fact that we are who we are because of You and nothing or no one can change who we are in You. We are more than conquerors and our name is victory because of who You are. Because of Who You are we have hope and our faith in You adds the fuel necessary to keep our hope alive. We’re praying for Susie Kemp as she prepares to enter the operating room. Draw her closer to You and grant her peace. We’re expecting a mighty move from You that the doctors, nurses, technicians, family and friends will be amazed by Your healing touch. Bless each eye who reads this prayer, search us through and through, see our desire, see our need, see our issues, see our struggle, see our pain, see our sickness, see us and provide the mighty move we’re expecting. Give us the courage to keep expecting You to exceed abundantly above all we’re expecting and the strength to keep pressing our way forward determined to please our faithful God, in Jesus Name, Amen.
O Give thanks unto the Lord for You are good! Thank You Lord for blessing us to see today, another day with another chance to move forward and know that You are God. Lord we thank You because our testimony today is, through it all You have kept us. Through it all we're growing stronger, better and wiser. Through it all we're learning it is better to trust You, than to count on man. Through it all we have found out You are our very best Friend and You always keep Your Word. We pray each one knows there are some things specifically designed for Your hands only. You continue to say, "Let Me Do It", and we continue to try to fix it ourselves-- give us the wisdom to know when it's time to remove our hands and the strength and courage to let go and allow You to have Your way. Help us to know You're working, we may not see Your hand moving but we have to trust Your Word and know You work all things together for good. Lord, while You're working, honestly sometimes it's hard to stay out of it, it's hard to deal with the pain, it's hard to deal with the unknown--During these times give us the strength to do what You created us to do--praise and worship the only true and living God. Not just with our lips, but with the lives we live. Let our song today be, "I Surrender All". All to Jesus we surrender, all to You we freely give. We will love and trust You and recognize we are in Your presence as we live today. It's a great day today and we purpose in our hearts right now to rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what, in Jesus Name, Amen.
THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER: God, it's so easy to love You because You're wonderful. It's so easy to love You because You're marvelous. It's so easy to love You because You're Glorious. It's so easy to love You because You call us friend, and we thank You for being our best friend always. Lord, You know the good, the bad, and the ugly; You know our thoughts before we think them, You know our actions, including the ones we try to keep secret. You know our motives, our desires, our habits and addictions; And we have found out no matter what You know about us, You still love us and You still have a plan for our lives. This morning Lord, we celebrate You!!!! There is none like You and we praise You for looking beyond what others see and seeing the best in us. Help us this day to not let the distractions in our lives overshadow Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace. Bless each one to know we're still here for a reason and the reason is not to fuss, gripe and complain; But we're here to praise and glorify You by being who You created us to be and doing what You've assigned for us to do. It's a great day and we're going forth with a positive attitude, looking to be a blessing to someone else. We give You praise for the first day of the best days of our lives, in Jesus Name, Amen.

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM ME? What do you expect from me? Do you expect me to only say things that will validate you? Do you expect me to only do things that will make you happy? Do you expect me to make you laugh, comfort you, please you and make all your dreams come true? Do you expect me to know what you’re thinking and respond based on what I know you’re thinking? Do you expect me to do this, that and the other for you, even when I don’t want to?
Well, I can’t do all of that! I can’t do all you expect me to do and be who I am. Me living up to your expectations will cause me to slowly dwindle away. If I do all you expect me to do, who will take care of my expectations? What about me?
What can you expect from me? You can expect me to be honest, because when you tell the truth you don’t have to think of what lie you need to cover up. You can expect me to say no when I mean no and yes when I mean yes. You can expect me to be who I am, no pretending and no “show-boating”, what you see is who I am. You can expect me to not be bullied into doing what you expect. You can expect me to not feel guilty when I don’t live up to your expectations.
My Creator expects me to be who He created me to be. He expects me to use what He breathed in me to use for His glory. God expects me to show love one to another; But don’t get it twisted, loving you is not doing what you expect me to do. Loving you is sharing with you who God created me to be. Loving you is hearing God’s voice and doing what He says. Loving you is not doing “it” because that’s what you expect, it’s doing “it” because that’s what I want to do and it’s from my heart.
I hope we’re clear on what to expect from me. What about you? Whose expectations are you living up to? Maybe that explains why you’re always so tired, worn out, stressed and sick. God created us to worship and praise Him with our life. Be careful not to be more concerned about living up to other’s expectations than you are living to glorify God.
TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER: Our Father in heaven, we thank You for waking us to see another beautiful day. We thank You because You’re good and Your mercy endures forever. It’s a good day today because You made it. We pray each one remembers because You made this day there is nothing about this day You cannot handle. There is nothing about this day that will take You by surprise. Help us to know with certainty, just as You have taken care of us all the other days You’ve made, You will take care of us today. We’re asking a special blessing for Eric & Tonya Jasper and family as they mourn the passing of their mother Theresa Jasper, also remember the family of Lyle Spruill as they mourn his passing. Place Your loving arms of comfort all around them, draw them closer to You and grant them peace. There are so many things about today we may not understand, so help us to not count on what we can understand, but instead trust our faithful God Who knows all, sees all and can do all. Strengthen our ears that we may hear Your voice so clear and follow where You lead. Give us the strength and courage to not go in search for the easy route, but trust You to lead us through the best route. We cast our cares to You, believing You care for us. Be glorified in our lives today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER: Bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is within us, we bless Your Holy Name. Thank You Lord for opening our eyes to see another new day. It's a new day filled with endless possibilities, a new day filled with brand new mercy, a new day filled with Your unconditional love to us. Yesterday we did some things right and we did some things wrong; Yesterday we had the chance to speak kind words and we blew it; Yesterday we could have been a better friend, cousin, brother, sister, daughter, mother, father, son, uncle or aunt--BUT, yesterday is gone and we refuse to live today based on yesterday. Lord we thank You for another chance today to say yes to Your will. Today we will put yesterday behind us and press forward. We're pressing to be all that You created us to be. We're pressing to glorify You in all we say and do. We're pressing to live a life of praise and thanksgiving. We're pressing and we're determined when trouble comes to speak the words, "Nay, in all these things I am more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus Who loves me!" Nothing that this day brings shall be able to separate us from Your love, so no matter what comes our way today, it's ALL good! We give You praise and we thank You for the victories we will experience today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER: Blessed be the Name of the Lord! You are worthy to be praised and adored, so we lift our hands and we shout out, hallelujah to the only living God!

Kim and family, the Burton-Sharp, and the Benton family as they all grieve the pass of their loved ones; we pray that Thou Who art the God of all comfort, will comfort them as only You can, in Jesus Name.
FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION: CAN I GET A WITNESS?
I’ve had good days.
I’ve had not so good days. (I refuse to call any day a bad day!)
I’ve had times when I laughed out louder than anyone.
I’ve shed tears that I never thought would stop flowing.
I’ve experienced the best friends anyone could ask for.
I’ve had people turn on me with no explanation.
But my testimony is, “Through it all, I’m still standing!” I’m standing because my God is faithful.
I’m standing because when God blew the breath of life in me, it was attached to a “don’t quit” spirit.
I’m standing because I have a relationship with my Creator. Yes, my Creator walks with me, talks with me, assures me, corrects me, directs me and always reminds me I’m on the winning team.
This may not be your testimony, and that’s fine, this is MY story! I’m not sharing because I NEED a witness.
I’m sharing because if I have a witness, I want to remind you why you’re still standing.
Think about how you’ve stood through it all, and based on that, keep standing.
We will not always have days that end up the way we planned. Things may not always work out our way.
Sometimes loved ones will have to go and we’ll have to say, “So long for now”.
People will not always live up to our expectations. Wait a minute! Why should they?
But in order to have the testimony, “Through it all, I’m still standing” you have to declare by faith in ALL things, I will stand, even if the ground is shaky. I will stand even if there’s muddy water. I will stand in the midst of potholes and roadblocks. I will stand because my testimony is, “Through it all, I’m still standing!”
Can I get a witness?

We thank You because we can still look up and see the sun shinning, we can still see the moon and stars in their place. We can see the blue sky adorned with the beautiful white clouds. For some, we can see the snow and the raindrops falling. Lord although we may complain sometimes about what we see and how we feel, we are so thankful to still be alive, thank You Lord! We’re alive and blessed with another opportunity to live out our purpose. We’re blessed with another chance to apologize to those we have wronged,and forgive those who have wronged us. We’re blessed with another privilege to laugh and enjoy life, thank You Lord!

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER: Lord, You are good and Your mercy endures forever! We worship You for Who You are. You are good all the time and all the time You are good! Thank You Lord for waking us to see another beautiful today. We thank You for watching over our family and friends. We thank You for helping us to know everything we need is supplied, but still there are some things we must do to get our supply. We must work to afford food, clothing and shelter--- we thank You for supplying the jobs and giving us the strength to work. We need love, peace and joy – we thank You for drawing us to You and letting us know it’s ours for the asking. Help each one to know You always keep Your Word, but it’s for us to know Your Word, believe Your Word and trust Your Word. We thank You for not making us robots, You don’t make us do anything. You’ve given us the right to choose and we choose to love You. We’re praying for little AJ Johnson and little Delani touch and heal their bodies.

WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER: Our Father in heaven, holy You are and holy You will always be! We shout out to the world, great and mighty is our God! There is none like You!

We’re excited about the endless benefits and possibilities we have, all because we belong to the Most High God.

We declare by faith today is the day to go get it! Today is the day to reach beyond our comfort zone and stretch. Today is the day to be stronger than we were on yesterday. Today is the day to let go of a little more hurt, disappointment and frustration. Today is the day to be all You designed us to be and shine, shine, shine!

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER: How great is our God! How great, how great is our God!!! Thank You Lord for waking us this morning seconds before the alarm clock went off to remind us of the fact, it is because of Your grace and mercy that we're able to hear the alarm clock. It's because of You that we're able to feel the rain, see the snow or experience whatever the current weather condition. It's because of You that we're still here, blessed with another chance to say yes to Your will. We may not feel the best, but Lord we sure thank You for blessing us to still be here to know how we feel. We pray one for another, asking You to help us not to complain today, but instead have a praying, praising spirit; For as long as we're praying and praising You we're in constant communication with You and there will be peace! It's a great day today and it's mighty nice to know everywhere we go today, our Great God is already there before we get there, and at the same time walking with us to help us get there. You're here, there and everywhere all at the same time and we praise You for making sure every moment and time in our lives are always covered with Your presence, hallelujah!!! How great is our God!! Help us remember today You are with us and because You’re with us the victory belongs to us, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Have you ever heard these sayings? “Into each life some rain must fall”.
“If we never had any rain, then we would never grow”.
“Rain, rain, go away, come back another day”
What's all this talk about rain? Some love the rain, others despise the rain. But there's one thing for sure, whether we love or hate the rain, there is nothing we can do to hold it back or make it come. Why? Because our reigning King controls the rain.
When the rain comes it washes away all the impurities in the air; Yes for a little while we can breathe fresh air. However, sometimes the affects of the rain can be a little messy or uncomfortable. Mud everywhere, potholes appear out of nowhere on our favorite routes and the grass is too wet to have a picnic or just sit and relax.
After the rain we must be careful where we walk. After the rain we have to slow down and be mindful of the road conditions.
After the rain some things are not as comfortable as usual.
After the rain the residual from the storm has to be washed away.
We see clearly after the rain, in particular those things that need to be cleaned. After the rain we wash the car, wash down the sidewalk, clean the windows and shine our shoes. Once the cleansing has taken place we’re reminded how beautiful life is.
Most importantly, after the rain if you look closely, you'll see a new flower blooming, new grass poking through, yes, new life has begun.
It may be raining in your life right now, but the rain will stop. After the rain will you remember the rain came to cause you to be careful where you walk? Will you remember the rain came so you will pay attention to the road you're traveling? Will you remember sometimes you have to become uncomfortable to realize you were too comfortable? Will you remember every now and then a cleansing must take place?
Most importantly will you remember our reigning King controls the rain and although we may not understand it and often times not like it, we’ll understand it better after the rain. Why? Because new life has begun.
MONDAY MORNING PRAYER: Lord, it's another days journey and we're glad about it! We thank You Lord for Your loving kindness and tender mercy, for we recognize if it had not been for You on our side, there is no way we would have made it this far. We praise You for all that You have done for us, for every mountain You gave us the strength to climb and for every valley You gave us the courage to go through. We worship You God because You are the Great I Am, everything we need, when we need it, all the time. Lord, we ask that You will help us to stay focused today, give us the strength to not be distracted by small things that won't matter at the end of this day. Help us to keep pressing our way forward and give our all to glorify You in all that we do and say. We ask a special blessing upon Apostle Rebecca Washington-Berry and Bishop-Elect, Dr. Yolanda Gamble, give strength to the weak, heal the sick, and deliver those who are in bondage to negative thinking and speaking. Help us to remember we are beautifully and wonderfully made--Your works are marvelous! We are Designer's Originals and no one can beat us being who You created us to be. We are extraordinary and we expect great things today because Greater is He Who lives in us! We give You praise, in Jesus Name we pray, Amen.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER: O Lord, our God, we love You. We praise You. We adore You. We worship You. We praise Your holy and righteous Name, for truly, truly, certainly, certainly, You are the only true and living God. Thank You Lord for never changing, even when we’re wrong and determined to do things our way, You’re still God. You’re still God even when we don’t recognize it’s because of You that we live move and have our being. We pray each one recognizes You remain the same always and You will always take care of us. Help us to know the harvest of the seeds we plant shall come up, and even in those times of harvest that we didn’t expect to come up, help us remember You are still the same loving, merciful God Who always keeps Your word. We pray one for another, help us to be mindful of the seeds we plant daily with the words we speak and the action we take. Help us to remember to only speak words that will bring life. We pray for Terrance Evans and Michelle Rapaport asking that You draw them closer to You and grant them peace. You know what their individual need is, touch, heal and deliver in the Name of Jesus. We’re going forth today fully aware the seeds we plant today shall come up again. We’re going forth fully aware this is the day our faithful God has made, we shall rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.

We thank You for drawing us closer to You and blessing us to see You are the source of our strength and the strength of our life. We thank You for another chance to say yes to Your will. We thank You because we realize without You we wouldn’t be able to say thank You. Lord, each day we come with many request, today we just want to thank You for being so good to us. We want to thank You for always making a way. We want to thank You for being our best Friend. We want to thank You for hearing and answering our prayers. We want to thank You for giving us the strength to go through our storms. We want to thank You for a closer walk with You. We want to thank You for peace that surpasses all understanding. We want to thank You for supplying our every need and making sure we have a lot of what we desire as well. You are a mighty God and we praise You for always moving mightily in our lives.

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER: Our Father in heaven, we thank You for this day we’ve never seen before. All the days of our life You have been faithful in creating a new day, every day. Many of those days we didn’t understand why what happened had to happen, but You have been faithful in bringing us through them all. You have brought us through hard times, difficult days, aching hearts, confused minds, sickness, betrayal, disappointment and frustration. Through it all You have proven to us that You are the Great I Am and You continue to exceed abundantly above all we ask and think. Thank You Lord for being faithful all the time. We praise You in advance for today, for we know You are the same yesterday, today and forever, and just as You’ve always been there for us, we thank You for Your ever presence today. We thank You for the miracles we shall experience today. We thank You for the victories we will share today. We thank You for the relationships that will be mended today. We thank You for the strength and courage to say what we need to say and do all that’s been assigned for us to do today. Victory belongs to us today! Be glorified in our lives today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

PUT AWAY CHILDISH THINGS “When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man (woman), I put away childish things.” I Cor. 13:11
At what point do we say, “Enough is enough?” There should come a time in our life when we put away childish things. We have to decide for ourselves, what and who is important, the rest has to be a “non-factor”. We allow so many “non-factors” to affect our everyday life. We have to take charge of our own lives and stop letting things affect us that have nothing to do with us.
We have to come to the conclusion, people will say and do what they please and often times it will be without consideration for you. Now, should that affect you? Well, if they are a “non-factor” then absolutely not! Let them say or do what they want, and let them deal with their consequences for their actions. Don’t take on someone’s fight for something they said or did that was a “non-factor” to you. Stay out of it, there comes a time when we have to put away childish things.
People are free to say what they want on facebook, twitter, and other social media—why does what “they” say affect you? But, for the same token, to the people who are saying what they are free to say, remember people are free to respond to what you’re saying. Why does it have to be a fight? There comes a time when we should put away childish things.
If you deal with someone who is always in messy situations, unless you like mess, maybe it’s time for you to put away childish people. If someone says you are a “ . . . .” or you did “ . . . .” –if you know that’s not who you are and you know you didn’t do that, then don’t let it affect you. It’s a childish ploy to get you to act unbecoming of who you are –don’t fall for it!
Dealing with childish things will affect our mental, physical and spiritual health. There comes a time when we should put away childish things, for YOU and ME the time is now.

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER: We praise the Name of Jesus! Thank You for being our Rock. Thank You for being our Fortress. Thank You for being our Deliverer. Thank You for being our Healer. Thank You for being our Comforter. Thank You for being our Provider. Thank You for being our Friend. Lord You are our All in all and we thank You for all You have done, are doing and shall do for us. It’s a new day and we thank You for giving us new mercy. We thank You for another chance to say yes to Your will; Another chance to work on our purpose; Another chance to forgive and let go; Another chance to trust You with all our heart and lean not to our own understanding. We pray Your blessings on each eye that shall read this prayer. Search us through and through, see our need, see our desire, see our frustration, see our issue, see our sickness, see our pain, see our confusion, see where we need You most and touch, heal and deliver, in the Name of Jesus. We’re praying for Demetrius Johnson, asking that You draw him closer to You, let him know You’re with him, touch and heal his body. We’re also praying for the Fleming family, asking that You comfort them as they deal with the pain of the loss of their mother. Time is winding up for us all, help us to live today in appreciation to You, by living so You can use us anytime and anywhere, in Jesus Name, Amen.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER: Good morning Lord! Thank You for waking us to see another beautiful day filled with Your mercy and grace. Lord we recognize You to be a mighty God. You’re holy and righteous. You’re sovereign and just. Because of Who You are we give You glory and praise. Because of Who You are we love You more than anything. We pray one for another, asking You to draw us closer to You that our desire be to know You more and more. We pray the more we know You the more we know how much You love us. The more we know You’re working all things together for our good. The more we know You knew our current situations before we knew ourselves, and because You already knew what we would be experiencing now, You already had a plan to use it to prepare us for the next matter in our life. We thank You because the more we know You, the more we know we’re getting stronger, wiser and better. The more we know You, the more we know we are more than conquerors and victory belongs to us. So Lord, because we know You we shout, “hallelujah!!!” and we praise You in advance for a victorious day today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER: Our Father in heaven, we lift our hands in total praise to You. We praise You because You are the source of our strength. We praise You because there is NONE like You. We praise You because Your love to us is amazing, it never runs out and it’s always unconditional. Thank You Lord for the blessing and privilege to see one more day. We pray each one remembers You promised to never leave us, which means You’re with us always. Wake up our consciousness to the fact that through it all You’re with us and because You’re with us we have all we need to make it through any situation. We have all we need to succeed. We have all we need to make our dream and reality. We have all we need to forget what’s behind us, reach for what’s in front of us and press forward. We shall continue to lift our hands in total praise to You, recognizing our praise is our weapon. We declare by faith today is the first day of the best days of our life and we shall rejoice and be glad in this day, no matter what. We look to You because looking to You always gives us a reason to praise our way through, in Jesus Name, Amen.

We thank You for family and friends. We thank You for food, clothing and shelter. We thank You for being so good. We thank You for always being our friend. We thank You for always making a way. We thank You for the blessing that awaits us on the other side of through. We thank You for being patient with us. We thank You for making sure we have all we need. We thank You for the gifts and talents You’ve placed within us. We thank You for always providing direction and for redirecting us when we don’t follow Your direction. We have so much to thank You for, so we’re not asking for anything this morning, we just want to say, “Thank You Jesus!” We pray each one will live today showing all how thankful we are to our faithful God.

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER:
Our Father, we thank You for waking us to a new day. We thank You for protecting us throughout yesterday and for watching over us as we slept last night. We thank You Lord for Your promise to be with us always. Help us to remember, You with us is more than the whole world against us. Because You're with us, it doesn't matter what comes our way, if we trust You the victory will always belong to us. Lord help us to remember the victory is not always seen right away with our natural eye, but our faith in You helps us know it with our Spiritual eyes. Father, we pray one for another, asking You to give us the wisdom, strength and courage not to react based on what we see with our natural eye, but instead use our Spiritual eyes to know we can be of good cheer because You have already overcome all that we see with our natural eye. Today we will not let what we "see" get us down, we will not let what we "see" cause us to react negatively, we will not let what we "see" alarm us and cause us to fear, but instead we will use what we "KNOW" -- We "know" we're more than conquerors through Christ Jesus Who loves us. We "know" we can do all things through Christ Who strengthens us. We "know" greater is He Who's in us than he that's in the world. We "know" God's grace is sufficient for us! So, based on what we "know" we're not going to wait until the day is over to say thank You, but we're going to shout "hallelujah!' right now, for the victory already belongs to us, in Jesus Name, Amen.

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION:
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;
O Lord, our God how excellent is Thy Name in all the earth. We love You, we praise You, we adore and we worship You because we know it is in You we live, move and have our being. It’s because of You we’re still alive and because we’re still here we know there is more You’re requiring of us. Thank You for another chance to do all we’ve been assigned to do. This is the day You have made, help each one to know part of our assignment is to rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what. Help us to know whether we’re happy or sad, our assignment is to glorify You in all we say and do. Lord we believe You and we trust You, but there are some areas we’re unsure of, some areas we doubt, we ask You to strengthen those areas and be glorified in our lives today. This morning we’re praying for Carolyn Moore, asking for Your mighty healing touch in her life. Draw her closer to You and grant her peace. We pray our Pastor, Apostle Rebecca Berry, asking you to restore all that she expended in ministering to the Body of Christ in both services on yesterday. We pray one for another, thanking You in advance for the victories we will experience today. We thank You in advance for the miracles that will be performed in our lives, and especially in our loved ones lives. We’re expecting You to exceed abundantly above all we’ve asked and are thinking, get glory in our lives today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER:
We praise the Name of Jesus! We thank You for being our Rock, our Fortress and our Deliverer, in You O Lord do we trust. We thank You for always being there to love us, comfort us, protect us, inspect us, direct us, correct us, provide for us, assure and validate us. We are confident in the fact that we are who we are because of You and nothing or no one can change who we are in You. We are more than conquerors and our name is victory because of who You are. Because of Who You are we have hope and our faith in You adds the fuel necessary to keep our hope alive. We’re praying for Susie Kemp as she prepares to enter the operating room. Draw her closer to You and grant her peace. We’re expecting a mighty move from You that the doctors, nurses, technicians, family and friends will be amazed by Your healing touch. Bless each eye who reads this prayer, search us through and through, see our desire, see our need, see our issues, see our struggle, see our pain, see our sickness, see us and provide the mighty move we’re expecting. Give us the courage to keep expecting You to exceed abundantly above all we’re expecting and the strength to keep pressing our way forward determined to please our faithful God, in Jesus Name, Amen.

WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER:
O Give thanks unto the Lord for You are good! Thank You Lord for blessing us to see today, another day with another chance to move forward and know that You are God. Lord we thank You because our testimony today is, through it all You have kept us. Through it all we're growing stronger, better and wiser. Through it all we're learning it is better to trust You, than to count on man. Through it all we have found out You are our very best Friend and You always keep Your Word. We pray each one knows there are some things specifically designed for Your hands only. You continue to say, "Let Me Do It", and we continue to try to fix it ourselves-- give us the wisdom to know when it's time to remove our hands and the strength and courage to let go and allow You to have Your way. Help us to know You're working, we may not see Your hand moving but we have to trust Your Word and know You work all things together for good. Lord, while You're working, honestly sometimes it's hard to stay out of it, it's hard to deal with the pain, it's hard to deal with the unknown--During these times give us the strength to do what You created us to do--praise and worship the only true and living God. Not just with our lips, but with the lives we live. Let our song today be, "I Surrender All". All to Jesus we surrender, all to You we freely give. We will love and trust You and recognize we are in Your presence as we live today. It's a great day today and we purpose in our hearts right now to rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what, in Jesus Name, Amen.

God, it's so easy to love You because You're wonderful. It's so easy to love You because You're marvelous. It's so easy to love You because You're Glorious. It's so easy to love You because You call us friend, and we thank You for being our best friend always. Lord, You know the good, the bad, and the ugly; You know our thoughts before we think them, You know our actions, including the ones we try to keep secret. You know our motives, our desires, our habits and addictions; And we have found out no matter what You know about us, You still love us and You still have a plan for our lives. This morning Lord, we celebrate You!!!! There is none like You and we praise You for looking beyond what others see and seeing the best in us. Help us this day to not let the distractions in our lives overshadow Your goodness, kindness, mercy and grace. Bless each one to know we're still here for a reason and the reason is not to fuss, gripe and complain; But we're here to praise and glorify You by being who You created us to be and doing what You've assigned for us to do. It's a great day and we're going forth with a positive attitude, looking to be a blessing to someone else. We give You praise for the first day of the best days of our lives, in Jesus Name, Amen.

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION:
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM ME?
What do you expect from me? Do you expect me to only say things that will validate you? Do you expect me to only do things that will make you happy? Do you expect me to make you laugh, comfort you, please you and make all your dreams come true? Do you expect me to know what you’re thinking and respond based on what I know you’re thinking? Do you expect me to do this, that and the other for you, even when I don’t want to?
Well, I can’t do all of that! I can’t do all you expect me to do and be who I am. Me living up to your expectations will cause me to slowly dwindle away. If I do all you expect me to do, who will take care of my expectations? What about me?
What can you expect from me? You can expect me to be honest, because when you tell the truth you don’t have to think of what lie you need to cover up. You can expect me to say no when I mean no and yes when I mean yes. You can expect me to be who I am, no pretending and no “show-boating”, what you see is who I am. You can expect me to not be bullied into doing what you expect. You can expect me to not feel guilty when I don’t live up to your expectations.
My Creator expects me to be who He created me to be. He expects me to use what He breathed in me to use for His glory. God expects me to show love one to another; But don’t get it twisted, loving you is not doing what you expect me to do. Loving you is sharing with you who God created me to be. Loving you is hearing God’s voice and doing what He says. Loving you is not doing “it” because that’s what you expect, it’s doing “it” because that’s what I want to do and it’s from my heart.
I hope we’re clear on what to expect from me. What about you? Whose expectations are you living up to? Maybe that explains why you’re always so tired, worn out, stressed and sick. God created us to worship and praise Him with our life. Be careful not to be more concerned about living up to other’s expectations than you are living to glorify God.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER:
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for waking us to see another beautiful day. We thank You because You’re good and Your mercy endures forever. It’s a good day today because You made it. We pray each one remembers because You made this day there is nothing about this day You cannot handle. There is nothing about this day that will take You by surprise. Help us to know with certainty, just as You have taken care of us all the other days You’ve made, You will take care of us today. We’re asking a special blessing for Eric & Tonya Jasper and family as they mourn the passing of their mother Theresa Jasper, also remember the family of Lyle Spruill as they mourn his passing. Place Your loving arms of comfort all around them, draw them closer to You and grant them peace. There are so many things about today we may not understand, so help us to not count on what we can understand, but instead trust our faithful God Who knows all, sees all and can do all. Strengthen our ears that we may hear Your voice so clear and follow where You lead. Give us the strength and courage to not go in search for the easy route, but trust You to lead us through the best route. We cast our cares to You, believing You care for us. Be glorified in our lives today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is within us, we bless Your Holy Name. Thank You Lord for opening our eyes to see another new day. It's a new day filled with endless possibilities, a new day filled with brand new mercy, a new day filled with Your unconditional love to us. Yesterday we did some things right and we did some things wrong; Yesterday we had the chance to speak kind words and we blew it; Yesterday we could have been a better friend, cousin, brother, sister, daughter, mother, father, son, uncle or aunt--BUT, yesterday is gone and we refuse to live today based on yesterday. Lord we thank You for another chance today to say yes to Your will. Today we will put yesterday behind us and press forward. We're pressing to be all that You created us to be. We're pressing to glorify You in all we say and do. We're pressing to live a life of praise and thanksgiving. We're pressing and we're determined when trouble comes to speak the words, "Nay, in all these things I am more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus Who loves me!" Nothing that this day brings shall be able to separate us from Your love, so no matter what comes our way today, it's ALL good! We give You praise and we thank You for the victories we will experience today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

You’re all knowing! You’re everywhere present at the same time. You are merciful and full of grace. You are our reigning King and we love You for being the only constant we have. We love You because You know everything there is to know about us and You look past our faults and see the best in us. We love You because You continue to love us unconditionally, always. We pray each one will know how much You love us and live accordingly. We shall live today declaring the victory belongs to us. We shall live today believing we can do all things through Christ Who gives us strength. We shall live today being all You designed us to be, no excuses. We shall live today believing NOTHING can separate us from Your love. We win! We give You praise in advance for giving us the courage to live a victorious life today, in Jesus Name, Amen. We pray a special prayer Sis. Kim and family, the Burton-Sharp, and the Benton family as they all grieve the pass of their loved ones; we pray that Thou Who art the God of all comfort, will comfort them as only You can, in Jesus Name.

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION:
CAN I GET A WITNESS?
I’ve had good days.
I’ve had not so good days. (I refuse to call any day a bad day!)
I’ve had times when I laughed out louder than anyone.
I’ve shed tears that I never thought would stop flowing.
I’ve experienced the best friends anyone could ask for.
I’ve had people turn on me with no explanation.
But my testimony is, “Through it all, I’m still standing!”
I’m standing because my God is faithful.
I’m standing because when God blew the breath of life in me, it was attached to a “don’t quit” spirit.
I’m standing because I have a relationship with my Creator. Yes, my Creator walks with me, talks with me, assures me, corrects me, directs me and always reminds me I’m on the winning team.
This may not be your testimony, and that’s fine, this is MY story!
I’m not sharing because I NEED a witness.
I’m sharing because if I have a witness, I want to remind you why you’re still standing.
Think about how you’ve stood through it all, and based on that, keep standing.
We will not always have days that end up the way we planned.
Things may not always work out our way.
Sometimes loved ones will have to go and we’ll have to say, “So long for now”.
People will not always live up to our expectations. Wait a minute! Why should they?
But in order to have the testimony, “Through it all, I’m still standing” you have to declare by faith in ALL things, I will stand, even if the ground is shaky. I will stand even if there’s muddy water. I will stand in the midst of potholes and roadblocks. I will stand because my testimony is, “Through it all, I’m still standing!”
Can I get a witness?

We thank You because we can still look up and see the sun shinning, we can still see the moon and stars in their place. We can see the blue sky adorned with the beautiful white clouds. For some, we can see the snow and the raindrops falling. Lord although we may complain sometimes about what we see and how we feel, we are so thankful to still be alive, thank You Lord! We’re alive and blessed with another opportunity to live out our purpose. We’re blessed with another chance to apologize to those we have wronged,and forgive those who have wronged us. We’re blessed with another privilege to laugh and enjoy life, thank You Lord! We pray for Michelle Morgan and Bobbie Lang, thanking You in advance for complete healing and that they will continue to give all praises to the Almighty God. This is the day our amazing God has made and we purpose in our heart to rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what.

Thank You Lord for waking us to see another beautiful today. We thank You for watching over our family and friends. We thank You for helping us to know everything we need is supplied, but still there are some things we must do to get our supply. We must work to afford food, clothing and shelter--- we thank You for supplying the jobs and giving us the strength to work. We need love, peace and joy – we thank You for drawing us to You and letting us know it’s ours for the asking. Help each one to know You always keep Your Word, but it’s for us to know Your Word, believe Your Word and trust Your Word. We thank You for not making us robots, You don’t make us do anything. You’ve given us the right to choose and we choose to love You. We’re praying for little AJ Johnson and little Delani touch and heal their bodies. We’re also praying for Pastor Diggins as he prepares for surgery this morning, move mightily heal and restore. We pray one for another, asking that You build a hedge of protection all around us.

We declare by faith today is the day to go get it! Today is the day to reach beyond our comfort zone and stretch. Today is the day to be stronger than we were on yesterday. Today is the day to let go of a little more hurt, disappointment and frustration. Today is the day to be all You designed us to be and shine, shine, shine!

How great is our God! How great, how great is our God!!! Thank You Lord for waking us this morning seconds before the alarm clock went off to remind us of the fact, it is because of Your grace and mercy that we're able to hear the alarm clock. It's because of You that we're able to feel the rain, see the snow or experience whatever the current weather condition. It's because of You that we're still here, blessed with another chance to say yes to Your will. We may not feel the best, but Lord we sure thank You for blessing us to still be here to know how we feel. We pray one for another, asking You to help us not to complain today, but instead have a praying, praising spirit; For as long as we're praying and praising You we're in constant communication with You and there will be peace! It's a great day today and it's mighty nice to know everywhere we go today, our Great God is already there before we get there, and at the same time walking with us to help us get there. You're here, there and everywhere all at the same time and we praise You for making sure every moment and time in our lives are always covered with Your presence, hallelujah!!! How great is our God!!

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION:
RAIN
Have you ever heard these sayings?
“Into each life some rain must fall”.
“If we never had any rain, then we would never grow”.
“Rain, rain, go away, come back another day”
What's all this talk about rain?
Some love the rain, others despise the rain. But there's one thing for sure, whether we love or hate the rain, there is nothing we can do to hold it back or make it come. Why? Because our reigning King controls the rain.
When the rain comes it washes away all the impurities in the air; Yes for a little while we can breathe fresh air. However, sometimes the affects of the rain can be a little messy or uncomfortable. Mud everywhere, potholes appear out of nowhere on our favorite routes and the grass is too wet to have a picnic or just sit and relax.
After the rain we must be careful where we walk.
After the rain we have to slow down and be mindful of the road conditions.
After the rain some things are not as comfortable as usual.
After the rain the residual from the storm has to be washed away.
We see clearly after the rain, in particular those things that need to be cleaned. After the rain we wash the car, wash down the sidewalk, clean the windows and shine our shoes. Once the cleansing has taken place we’re reminded how beautiful life is.
Most importantly, after the rain if you look closely, you'll see a new flower blooming, new grass poking through, yes, new life has begun.
It may be raining in your life right now, but the rain will stop. After the rain will you remember the rain came to cause you to be careful where you walk? Will you remember the rain came so you will pay attention to the road you're traveling? Will you remember sometimes you have to become uncomfortable to realize you were too comfortable? Will you remember every now and then a cleansing must take place?
Most importantly will you remember our reigning King controls the rain and although we may not understand it and often times not like it, we’ll understand it better after the rain. Why? Because new life has begun.

Lord, it's another days journey and we're glad about it! We thank You Lord for Your loving kindness and tender mercy, for we recognize if it had not been for You on our side, there is no way we would have made it this far. We praise You for all that You have done for us, for every mountain You gave us the strength to climb and for every valley You gave us the courage to go through. We worship You God because You are the Great I Am, everything we need, when we need it, all the time. Lord, we ask that You will help us to stay focused today, give us the strength to not be distracted by small things that won't matter at the end of this day. Help us to keep pressing our way forward and give our all to glorify You in all that we do and say. We ask a special blessing upon Apostle Rebecca Washington-Berry and Bishop-Elect, Dr. Yolanda Gamble, give strength to the weak, heal the sick, and deliver those who are in bondage to negative thinking and speaking. Help us to remember we are beautifully and wonderfully made--Your works are marvelous! We are Designer's Originals and no one can beat us being who You created us to be. We are extraordinary and we expect great things today because Greater is He Who lives in us! We give You praise, in Jesus Name we pray, Amen.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER:
O Lord, our God, we love You. We praise You. We adore You. We worship You. We praise Your holy and righteous Name, for truly, truly, certainly, certainly, You are the only true and living God. Thank You Lord for never changing, even when we’re wrong and determined to do things our way, You’re still God. You’re still God even when we don’t recognize it’s because of You that we live move and have our being. We pray each one recognizes You remain the same always and You will always take care of us. Help us to know the harvest of the seeds we plant shall come up, and even in those times of harvest that we didn’t expect to come up, help us remember You are still the same loving, merciful God Who always keeps Your word. We pray one for another, help us to be mindful of the seeds we plant daily with the words we speak and the action we take. Help us to remember to only speak words that will bring life. We pray for Terrance Evans and Michelle Rapaport asking that You draw them closer to You and grant them peace. You know what their individual need is, touch, heal and deliver in the Name of Jesus. We’re going forth today fully aware the seeds we plant today shall come up again. We’re going forth fully aware this is the day our faithful God has made, we shall rejoice and be glad in it, in Jesus Name, Amen.

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER:
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for this day we’ve never seen before. All the days of our life You have been faithful in creating a new day, every day. Many of those days we didn’t understand why what happened had to happen, but You have been faithful in bringing us through them all. You have brought us through hard times, difficult days, aching hearts, confused minds, sickness, betrayal, disappointment and frustration. Through it all You have proven to us that You are the Great I Am and You continue to exceed abundantly above all we ask and think. Thank You Lord for being faithful all the time. We praise You in advance for today, for we know You are the same yesterday, today and forever, and just as You’ve always been there for us, we thank You for Your ever presence today. We thank You for the miracles we shall experience today. We thank You for the victories we will share today. We thank You for the relationships that will be mended today. We thank You for the strength and courage to say what we need to say and do all that’s been assigned for us to do today. Victory belongs to us today! Be glorified in our lives today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

FRIDAY MORNING INSPIRATION:
PUT AWAY CHILDISH THINGS
“When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man (woman), I put away childish things.” I Cor. 13:11
At what point do we say, “Enough is enough?” There should come a time in our life when we put away childish things. We have to decide for ourselves, what and who is important, the rest has to be a “non-factor”. We allow so many “non-factors” to affect our everyday life. We have to take charge of our own lives and stop letting things affect us that have nothing to do with us.
We have to come to the conclusion, people will say and do what they please and often times it will be without consideration for you. Now, should that affect you? Well, if they are a “non-factor” then absolutely not! Let them say or do what they want, and let them deal with their consequences for their actions. Don’t take on someone’s fight for something they said or did that was a “non-factor” to you. Stay out of it, there comes a time when we have to put away childish things.
People are free to say what they want on facebook, twitter, and other social media—why does what “they” say affect you? But, for the same token, to the people who are saying what they are free to say, remember people are free to respond to what you’re saying. Why does it have to be a fight? There comes a time when we should put away childish things.
If you deal with someone who is always in messy situations, unless you like mess, maybe it’s time for you to put away childish people. If someone says you are a “ . . . .” or you did “ . . . .” –if you know that’s not who you are and you know you didn’t do that, then don’t let it affect you. It’s a childish ploy to get you to act unbecoming of who you are –don’t fall for it!
Dealing with childish things will affect our mental, physical and spiritual health. There comes a time when we should put away childish things, for YOU and ME the time is now.

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER:
We praise the Name of Jesus! Thank You for being our Rock. Thank You for being our Fortress. Thank You for being our Deliverer. Thank You for being our Healer. Thank You for being our Comforter. Thank You for being our Provider. Thank You for being our Friend. Lord You are our All in all and we thank You for all You have done, are doing and shall do for us. It’s a new day and we thank You for giving us new mercy. We thank You for another chance to say yes to Your will; Another chance to work on our purpose; Another chance to forgive and let go; Another chance to trust You with all our heart and lean not to our own understanding. We pray Your blessings on each eye that shall read this prayer. Search us through and through, see our need, see our desire, see our frustration, see our issue, see our sickness, see our pain, see our confusion, see where we need You most and touch, heal and deliver, in the Name of Jesus. We’re praying for Demetrius Johnson, asking that You draw him closer to You, let him know You’re with him, touch and heal his body. We’re also praying for the Fleming family, asking that You comfort them as they deal with the pain of the loss of their mother. Time is winding up for us all, help us to live today in appreciation to You, by living so You can use us anytime and anywhere, in Jesus Name, Amen.

TUESDAY MORNING PRAYER:
Good morning Lord! Thank You for waking us to see another beautiful day filled with Your mercy and grace. Lord we recognize You to be a mighty God. You’re holy and righteous. You’re sovereign and just. Because of Who You are we give You glory and praise. Because of Who You are we love You more than anything. We pray one for another, asking You to draw us closer to You that our desire be to know You more and more. We pray the more we know You the more we know how much You love us. The more we know You’re working all things together for our good. The more we know You knew our current situations before we knew ourselves, and because You already knew what we would be experiencing now, You already had a plan to use it to prepare us for the next matter in our life. We thank You because the more we know You, the more we know we’re getting stronger, wiser and better. The more we know You, the more we know we are more than conquerors and victory belongs to us. So Lord, because we know You we shout, “hallelujah!!!” and we praise You in advance for a victorious day today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

WEDNESDAY MORNING PRAYER:
Our Father in heaven, we lift our hands in total praise to You. We praise You because You are the source of our strength. We praise You because there is NONE like You. We praise You because Your love to us is amazing, it never runs out and it’s always unconditional. Thank You Lord for the blessing and privilege to see one more day. We pray each one remembers You promised to never leave us, which means You’re with us always. Wake up our consciousness to the fact that through it all You’re with us and because You’re with us we have all we need to make it through any situation. We have all we need to succeed. We have all we need to make our dream and reality. We have all we need to forget what’s behind us, reach for what’s in front of us and press forward. We shall continue to lift our hands in total praise to You, recognizing our praise is our weapon. We declare by faith today is the first day of the best days of our life and we shall rejoice and be glad in this day, no matter what. We look to You because looking to You always gives us a reason to praise our way through, in Jesus Name, Amen.
