Morning Moment of Prayer… 

 Dear Heavenly Father… I am so grateful to wake up each morning in Your presence. You alone have rescued me and continue to save me from shame, pride, and guilt. In this broken and fallen world, heartaches abound, yet as I walk close beside You, I am empowered to pray mightily in Your name. We have seen floods, fires, famine, and war. There truly is nothing new under the sun as Your Word tells us, yet You have given us Your armor to wear and the power of Your name to effectively pray. Please work through my life today. In the Name Above All Names, King Jesus. Amen!

You have caused men to ride over our heads;
We went through fire and through water;
But You brought us out to rich fulfillment.
Psalm 66:12

Morning Moment of Prayer…

Dear Lord Jesus…If there is one thing that I am confident of, it is that You care about everything that concerns me. You know the number of hairs upon my head and are intimately knowledgeable about the small and large matters that I face. You know things about me that I have no clue about and You are changing me into Your image, restoring my soul, filling me with joy, and renewing my strength. You will never, ever give up on me and for that, I love You with all of my heart. I am ready for this day! In Your Limitless Name, Jesus. Amen!

And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ, right up to the time of His return, developing that good work and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.

Please pour through me to others and wash away my selfishness as well. I have all that I need and so much more, all because of YOU! In the Almighty Name of Jesus. Amen!

…for He, God Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. I will not, I will not, I will not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake, nor let you down, nor relax My hold on you! Assuredly not!
