Don’t let what you SEE make you forget what God has SAID.
For our knowledge is fragmentary and incomplete. The pages of your Life Story are still being written—God is the Author, so He has the last word, not man nor Satan.
Remember, Your Journey is just as Important as Your Destination, but the Beauty of the Journey is Knowing Who holds Your Destiny. ~Mary Ford❤️ 🙏🏽
“For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is complete and perfect comes, that which is incomplete and partial will pass away.” (1 Corinthians 13:9-10)
Father God, Oh how we LOVE You! How Excellent is your name in all the earth; and in all the earth there is none like you! You reign supreme and your ways are right and good! Your abundant love and compassion for your children fail not—GREAT is Your Faithfulness towards us!
Father, We acknowledge our frailty and Your sovereignty. We have seen your handiworks and all creation crown you with glory and honor! We have feasted on Your Word and it is sweeter than Honey from the honeycomb! Your faithfulness is never-ending and Your love for us is intoxicating!
Our heart’s long for more of you, Oh God, like a deer that’s panting after water! Oh, magnify the Lord with me all who LOVE and ADORE Him! Let Us EXALT HIS NAME together forever and ever—Your praise shall continually be in our mouths! We shall continually bless You with the fruit of our lips, for You alone are worthy to be EXALTED! Hallelujah and Amen!🙌🏼☝🏾🙏🏽~M. Ford
“And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” (Mark 12:30)
Heavenly Father, Thank You for your mercies that are new to us every Morning, and Your grace that covers us every night!
For You indeed are a Deliverer to those suffering from sickness and disease, stress and anxiety, oppression and depression, helplessness and hopelessness, fear and despair. You alone can Save to the utmost, so allow the purifying power of your Holy Spirit to cleanse the hearts and lives of your children from all things that dishonor you and hinder us from doing your perfect Will.
We cast off every form of unrighteousness and yield our total being to your transforming grace—You are the Potter and we are the clay. Help us, Oh Lord, to trust You and walk in holiness day-by-day! Bless us Lord, so that we might be blessings to others. Strengthen us Lord, so that we might be strong even in our weakest hour. Magnify your love, joy and peace in our hearts so that it will overflow in our lives onto others.
Help us to be the salt and light in a unsavory world filled with the darkness of sin. Endow us with the Fruit of The Spirit so that we might show a dying world we serve a Living Savior! Help our light of salvation to shine bright so that others will see YOU and know the true love of Christ by our living testimony.
Father, our heart’s desire is for the lost to be saved, the Saints be edified and that You, Oh Lord, be glorified! Help us to seek MORE of YOU every day. It’s In the all-sufficient name of Jesus I humbly pray…Amen.🙏🏽~M. Ford

Heavenly Father, We humble ourselves under Your divine authority as we daily walk with Thee—realizing that it is You who give and You who take away; it is You who raise up in authority and it is You who will pull down in accordance with your good pleasure. Let us not function in self pride or vain glory in ourselves; but help us to glory in You, Oh Lord, who made the heavens and earth—the one who is able to destroy and save both body and soul! Selah.
For what have You required of us, Oh Lord, but to do good, love mercy, and walk humbly with You our God? We confess that we have sinned and fallen short in so many ways—Forgive us our sins, transgressions and iniquities, Oh Lord, wash us and we shall be cleansed; and purge us from all unrighteousness! Create in us a clean heart and renew in us a right spirit so that we might serve You in sincerity, passion and with power and purpose!
Thank you, Father, for the precious blood of JESUS that can wash away every stain of sin and restore us to a right relationship with you—Hallelujah! Thank you, Father, for such great a Love that chases us down and covers us at our lowest point!
Father, we thank you for your grace that gives us what we don’t deserve and for you mercy that constantly holds back what we do deserve! Selah.
Abba…We belong to you! Take us and mold us after Your likeness; order our every step into Your divine will; and lead us in Your way of righteousness this day. It’s in the saving name of Jesus I pray and praise you always…Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford
“So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with Him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes. I prayed to the Lord my God and confessed: “Lord, the great and AWESOME God, who keeps HIS covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments, we have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws. We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes and our ancestors, and to all the people of the land.” “O my God, incline your ear and hear. Open your eyes and see our desolations, and the city that is called by your name. For we do not present our pleas before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercy. O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive. O Lord, pay attention and act. Delay not, for your own sake, O my God, because your city and your people are called by your name.”” (Daniel 9:3-6; 9-18)

“I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” (Psalm 121:1-2 ESV)
Sovereign God, Holy and Righteous is Your Name! We call upon You, Oh God, to bind up the broken hearted, to cast out the spirit of fear and confusion in our lives, and to loose your power, love, faith and hope within each of us so that we might live our lives holy and acceptable to You! No longer yielding to the ways of this world, succumbing to our lustful fleshly desires, or yielding to temptations and pride of life!
Lord, please guard our hearts and our minds so that our speech, thoughts, actions and deeds line up with Your Word and Your perfect Will. Give us a hungry for the meat of your Word and a thirst for The Living Water that can not be quenched.
Help us, Oh Lord, to choose to believe Your truth over Satan’s lies, so that we might Live Holy daily and bare good and bigger fruit in order to represent your Kingdom well here on earth.
Thank You, Father, for your faithfulness! It’s In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford
“Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare.” (Isaiah 55:1-2 NIV)
Heavenly Father, Allow The Spirit of The Living God to rest upon your children today…filling us until we overflow with Your love and peace. I pray the power of your presence humbles us into submission to your Will in every situation, circumstance and area of life. Allow Your anointing to rest upon each of us; empowering and equiping us for even Greater works for Your glory!
Father, Our desire is to represent your kingdom well here on earth as we allow your love to bubble up and over onto everyone we encounter! Lord, help us to Stay Positive and Keep the Faith in these difficult times. For we realize that it’s not by our might, nor by our power, but by The Spirit of The Most High God, the Word of our Testimony and the powerful Blood🩸of the Lamb that was slain that we shall overcome!
Thank you, Lord, for The Victory we have In Jesus who is The Christ! It’s in His sovereign name I pray and praise always! Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford

Therefore, Father, as Child of The Most High God, we enter into this brand new day, petitioning that Your Peace pave our way; Your Love be our guide; and that You give us clarity of mind and help us take every destructive thought captive—to stop worrying and start praying🙇🏽♀️🙇🏾♂️because Worry Won’t Work, But Prayer Will!🙏🏽
I humbly submit this prayer in the precious Name above every Name, JESUS! Amen😇~M. Ford
“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” (Matthew 6:31-34) (Proverbs 4:23; Ezekiel 36:26).
Heavenly Father, I come praying Your protection, direction and covering over your children today…those who are called by your name. Touch those who are hurting, sick, disenfranchised, disillusioned, lonely and lost with your finger of healing, restoration, renewal and love in Jesus’ name.
Father, bless us with an extra measure of your grace and mercy as we continue to seek your will for our lives. Lord, we desire to do greater works in your name! Help us be the light and salt in this dark and unsavory world! Purge, renew and strengthen us this day by the power of The Holy Spirit. Help us to walk boldly in the calling you have upon our lives, for you have called us out of the darkness of this world into the marvelous light of eternity!
Now, Lord, help us to let that light shine so bright that others will see Jesus! Thank you Father for loving us past our faults. It’s in Jesus’ mighty and matchless name we trust and have hope! Hallelujah & Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford
