Morning Moment of Prayer...

Dear Lord Jesus...I begin my day with praise and worship in my heart and on my lips for You! When I lift up audible praise (even if it’s only a whisper!), I know that the enemy takes notice and flees. When I set my gaze upon Your greatness, Your power is magnified in my life because I know that You hold me in Your all-powerful hand. You alone are my defense and refuge in the day of trouble, and You have never failed me yet! Even when I wondered what You were up to, I later saw You had a more significant plan in place! I am forever grateful, and I seal this time of worship in Your Limitless Name, King Jesus. Amen!

But I will sing of Your power;
Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning;
For You have been my defense
And refuge in the day of my trouble.

Morning Prayer...So Sorry that I Forgot to Mention...

Hi Everyone,

Someone just reached out to me to say they weren’t receiving their Morning Moments of Prayer. I forgot to let you know that I was taking a few weeks off, and the prayers and devos will return on Mother’s Day! LOL, that’s how much I needed a little break to concentrate on some things the Lord is doing at this time.

I’ll see you this Sunday!

May this day be filled with Your light and leading as I walk through this darkened world. I pray my every word and action glorify You and bring many closer to Your embrace. All. Because. Your. Grace. Is. More. Than. Enough! In Your Sovereign Name, I pray, King Jesus. Amen

And lead me in the way everlasting.
