Morning Moment of Prayer…

Dear Lord Jesus…As I start this day, I put on the shoes of Your peace (Eph.6:15). May everything I do today: what I say and how I treat others, bring peace to every situation. Lord, I am taking a criticism and negativity “fast” with my thoughts and words. You tell me to keep my heart and mind grounded in Your love and power and no work of darkness can overpower Your light in my life. So, I grab hold of that truth, and may I exhibit the Holy Spirit’s fruit of peace as I cultivate all His fruit in my life. In Your Name that Soars Above All Others, King Jesus. Amen!

Depart from evil and do good;
Seek peace and pursue it.
Psalm 34:14

I am so grateful for my spiritual inheritance in You that overflows into my every situation, need, and desire. May I be a testimony of Your love today for others. I worship and adore You in this moment in Your Name that Reigns Above All Other, King Jesus, I pray. Amen!

The LORD shall reign forever and ever.

Morning Moment of Prayer…

Dear Lord Jesus…At the start of this day, I put You first. You know that I have some battles on various fronts of my life, but as You told me, I am not battling people, I am battling the enemy who brings such brokenness to lives and who loves to stir up strife. Well, I’m not falling for his lies. I stand in the truth of Your Word and I pray for Holy Spirit discernment to call out and cast out any demonic entity at work in these situations in the All-Powerful Name of Jesus. I am ready because You go before me. Amen!

Morning Moment of Prayer…

Dear Heavenly Father…I am beyond blessed to be Your loving child. What You have done for me has far exceeded my hopes, dreams, and prayers. I am nothing, but in You, I am more than a conqueror through Your immeasurable love. Today, as I move from this time in Your presence, I pray for strength to guard my thoughts. I cast those thoughts down that are not from You but are from my flesh, the world, or the enemy, and I bring them captive to You. Cover me, O Lord. My expectation is from You alone. In the Exquisite Name of Jesus. Amen!

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
Romans 8:37

Morning Moment of Prayer...

Dear Lord Jesus… I need Your help! Father, I will not make it through this day unless I have Your divine intervention. No matter if I face circumstances large or small; people who are kind or just plain not nice; or anything the adversary tries to entangle me in, I need You! So, this moment, I pour out all of my plans for Yours. I lay down any selfishness and pride and clothe myself in Your agape love. May I be a vessel for the Holy Spirit to work through. I am SO ready. In the Superlative Name of King Jesus. Amen!

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.
Isaiah 43:2

Morning Moment of Prayer… 

Dear Lord Jesus… I can honestly say that for many years I couldn’t seem to understand Your will and destiny for my life. However, that completely changed when I came to You just for You and not what You could give me. You, Lord are the answer to all of life’s questions, needs, and desires. In Your presence, there truly is fullness of joy like nothing the world has to offer. Thank You for Your patience with me as I did everything but come meet You and ask for Holy Spirit overflow and Your life-breath through Your Word. I praise You and pray in Your Holy Name, Lord Jesus. Amen!

Blessed be the LORD, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised through His servant Moses.

Dear Lord Jesus…I know that no matter what this day or what this new year brings my way, You have me covered. You are living inside of me and walking with me through every day. There is nothing that I will face that You aren’t the answer for. So, Lord, I set my heart on You and Your kingdom. I will not look to the right or the left or for any person to save me, except You. I give up my preconceived thoughts about this new year and invite Your Holy Spirit to completely take over. Because when I seek Your kingdom first, everything else falls into place. In Your Majestic Name, I pray, King Jesus. Amen!

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Dear Lord Jesus...on this Eve before we celebrate Your incomparable birth I still my heart and ponder the reason You left heaven’s glory to come...for me. You did it ALL for love.

I pray now for my family members and friends who I will be seeing and celebrating with _________ (name each of them). I pray for genuine relationship, forgiveness, selflessness, and love beginning with me first. In the only Wonderful Name I pray, King Jesus. Amen!
