Morning Moment of Prayer…

Dear Lord Jesus…How I worship and adore You today before I do anything else. When my heart and mind are set upon You, every ounce of fear or anxiety leaves. You are the One and Only! I love that You loved me so much to surrender all of heaven’s wonder and glory—which my earthly mind can’t even conceive its splendor—and came for me. For me! In turn, I surrender my all to You in this moment. Everything. All my plans, dreams, trials, relationships, yes, everything about my life. I pray to walk in the Holy Spirit’s supernatural gifts and cultivated fruit today. In Your Magnificent Name I pray, King Jesus. Amen!

Every good gift and every perfect (free, large, full) gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of all [that gives] light, in [the shining of] Whom there can be no variation [rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [as in an eclipse].
James 1:17 AMPC

You are worthy of it all…and In Your Beautiful and Powerful Name, King Jesus. I pray. Amen!
