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.

In Your Majestic Name, I pray, King Jesus. Amen!
