Heavenly Father, Raise up Christian marriages with husbands and wives willing to do it God’s way and not their own way.
Help them to love you first, with their whole hearts, and you in turn will grant them grace to be loving, kind, and affectionate towards one another—supporting, encouraging, respecting and submitting to their own spouse as unto the Lord.
Draw them together in unity and oneness—committed to practicing selflessness, forgiveness, and keeping the sanctity of the bedroom in their marriages.
Compel them to be devoted to praying together and studying God’s word together in order to cultivate an atmosphere of unconditional love, respect, and peace in their home.
It’s in the transforming Name of Jesus I pray this humble prayer. Amen 💍❤️🙏🏽~M. Ford

“I AM FREE”
Those who Christ has set free are free indeed!
Don’t allow the poisonous gossip of the foolish to derail you from your predestined path of promise.
Live like you know Jesus and silence the lips of the foolish.🙏🏽~M. Ford
“For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God.” (1 Peter 2:15-16)
JEHOVAH SHALOM…Lord, You are our PEACE. Help us this day to stay focused on YOU—looking past our problems and our pain and remembering your Promises!

“STAND FIRM”
Heavenly Father, As we launch out into a new week, Your people are in dire need of your strength, confidence, courage, comfort and peace today.
Many may be fearful—facing trials, troubles and difficulties that seem too hard to bare and impossible to overcome.
Nevertheless, help us to realize that things are not always what they seem to be in the natural realm because of what is working for our good in the spiritual realm!
Open our spiritual eyes to see the invisible—that there are more on our side than those against us!
Thank you for being Jehovah Tsaba—The Lord our Warrior who is fighting for us!

“Stay In The Race”
Heavenly Father…Thank you for your unconditional love for us, and for the forgiveness of our sins.
Help us to be sensitive to the prompting of The Holy Spirit in our lives, and give us spiritual discernment, understanding, wisdom and knowledge of spiritual things so that we might properly handle every situation that life brings, according to Your perfect Will.
Help us to live holy; understanding our responsibility to live blamelessly before a lost and watching world. For we know that the race is not given to the swift, but to the one who endures until the end.
LORD, give us STICKING and STAYING POWER so that we will have STRENGTH for The Journey! It’s in the mighty name of Jesus I pray…Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford
“NO CROSS, NO CROWN”
Many people will “wear” The Cross around their neck or tattooed on their body as a symbol of beauty or outward expression. But few are willing to “bear” The Cross, becoming a true disciple of Christ.
This type of FAITH requires total sacrifice of self; a change on the inside that prompts Christlike actions on the outside as we believe and trust in Jesus.
As we walk the sometimes painful paths of life that JESUS walked, with all of its shame, pain and gain, we must Remember…
There are no crown-wearers👑 in Heaven that were not cross-bearers✝️on earth—No Cross, No Crown.✝️👑🙏🏽~M. Ford
“Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.” (Mark 10:21)
