(Singing) “I need thee, oh…I need thee!  Every hour…I need thee!  Oh bless me now my savior!  I come…to thee!”

Father God, I ask that you cover each and every person reading this prayer today with your love and protection.  Order their steps and lead them in a straight path.  Lead them not into temptation, but help them walk in the wonder-working power of your love, mercy and grace.  Father, you are and will forever be faithful to provide everything that we need and even some of that which we want…Thank you! 

Now Father, just as you reconciled us back to you through your son Jesus, we ask that you will reconcile us back to one another—realizing that all ground is level at the foot of the cross!  Help us to long and thirst for You in a dry and barren land.  Father, bless your children with everything we stand in need of to be bold in our beliefs, steadfast in our walk and empowered to do greater for You in such a time as this.  For we know that this is the appointed time to let our little lights shine bright for you in these dark days.  It’s in the mighty, matchless name of Jesus, who is The Christ, I pray.  Amen ~ M. Ford

Saints, Instead of being anxious to give someone a “piece of your mind” with your lips…be ever ready to “see their hearts” through the Spirit.  Conflict resolution Christ-style. ~ M. Ford

Saints, A surrendered life is not “self-serving”, but rather “God-pleasing”.  Not my will Lord, but your will be done!  So, what area(s) of your life do you need to surrender to God today?

Heavenly Father—breathe on all those whose eyes rest upon this prayer. Fill their hearts with such a great love and longing for you; a longing that only you can satisfy. Like the deer thirsts after water, allow their souls to thirst after YOU, oh Lord! Father, raise up a nation of people that will obey your word and find pleasure in pleasing you. No longer chasing after the lusts of the flesh and false hope of this world, but desiring YOU above all else.   Father, stir up your spirit in your children in such a great a mighty way that they will say “YES” to your will and your way for their lives—exemplifying a lifestyle that is pleasing to you and encouraging to others. It’s in the matchless, priceless name JESUS I pray and give you all the praise! Amen

Saints, if you were put on trial for “being a Christian”, would your LIFESTYLE yield enough evidence to convict you? ~M. Ford
