Jehovah Tsidkenu—God of our Righteousness! As we SEEK MORE OF YOU daily, I pray our chief concern will become GOD’S APPROVAL—placing our desires on pleasing HIM alone!

Protect and cover our armed forces and military troops. I pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for the abolishment of terrorism—both foreign and domestic.

“AND SEEK MY FACE…”

LORD GOD, we give You all glory and honor for You alone are righteous and worthy of our praise!

You alone designed us and formed us while still in our mother’s womb—we are indeed fearfully and wonderfully made to your perfection!

We are indeed Your masterpiece, lacking nothing! Help us to bear BIG fruit! It’s in Jesus’ mighty and matchless name I pray…Amen!🙏🏽~M. Ford

DAY 11: 21 Days PRAYER & FASTING

“AND SEEK MY FACE…”

Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Love that’s always flowing in our Favor! Forgive us for sometimes questioning what you have allowed because it doesn’t look like what we anticipated. Let us not forget that our thoughts are not like your thoughts and our ways are not like your ways.

Help us to SEEK Your FACE in all things, including things concerning our local and national leaders. Let us Not put our trust in military strength, human tactics and strategic plans, financial leverage, or political power to solve our difficulties. I pray that the Scriptures would guide our decision making and not culture or this world. 

Father GOD, Give us spiritual tunnel vision so that we keep our eyes fixed and focused on Christ—even in the most difficult times. For we know He will never lead us astray and will always guide us in the right way! It’s in the mighty Name of Jesus I pray…Amen! 🙏🏽~M. Ford

“AND SEEK MY FACE…”

ABBA Father, I pray that Christians all around the world will SEEK The FACE of GOD versus the hand of God. For when we SEEK Your FACE, You will move Your Hand in our Favor!

Jehovah Tsaba—The Lord my Warrior! I pray that you endow the saints with courage and perseverance to rise up and wage war against the enemy on our knees! Help your children to be persistent in prayer, unwavering in your word, and ever ready to fight the good fight of Faith! 

I pray that Pastors will have wisdom and discernment to call their congregations to Prayer intercession and lead them to an understanding of the times. Raise up a remnant of true believers that will be fearless and faithful; casting off every vain imagination, pride of life, unholy habits, and wicked ways until the day of your return.

Anoint us with power, authority and with holy boldness to stand steadfast and unwavering in our faith in perilous times such as these; No longer bound and defeated by political correctness, social status, and worldly ways!

Raise up Warriors willing to persevere in fasting and prayer until we reclaim our families, children, communities, nation and world for Christ! Hear my humble cry, Oh God, and heal our Land! It’s in Jesus’ mighty and matchless name I pray and praise always! Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford

“IF MY PEOPLE…WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES…AND PRAY…”

Jehovah Roi—all seeing GOD! You sit high in supreme authority, but you look low with compassion for your people. Nothing escapes your holy vision!

I come praying and interceding on behalf of all those who are in authority so that we might lead quiet and peaceful lives in Godliness and Holiness. I pray for those  under satanic attack—those experiencing emotional, mental and spiritual warfare. I pray for the breaking of strongholds that bind so many of your people and rob them of the abundant life you’ve preordained. 

Sovereign GOD, Manifest breaking of strongholds in the House of Faith! Bring forth a GREAT SHAKING and AWAKENING that will roll across this land like wildfire—SETTING FREE CAPTIVES and SETTING HEARTS ON FIRE FOR CHRIST! 

It’s In the strong, mighty and matchless Name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen!🙏🏽~M. Ford

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds” ( II Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

Heavenly Father, I humbly pray for forgiveness of our sins and a cleansing from all unrighteousness. For we live in a society that pleasures in the flesh and forgoes the things of the spirit. And we contend with a world that clamors after and exalts wrong while crucifying the people of GOD who stand for righteousness and practice holiness.

Therefore, I pray against the moral and spiritual erosion that has permeated not only our nation, but our churches, our homes and the world. Turn stoney hearts filled with hate, malice, envy, and unforgiveness into hearts of flesh filled and overflowing with your love, joy and peace that surpasses all understanding! 

LORD GOD, Create in us clean hearts that are sensitive to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. ENDOW Believers with Fervency, Passion and Commitment to LIVE HOLY before a crooked and perverse generation!

As we humble ourselves under your sovereign grace, give us a sincere hunger for Your Word and a thirst that can only be quenched by more of You!

It’s in the strong, mighty, and matchless Name of Jesus I pray. Amen!🙏🏽~M. Ford

“And I said: “O my God, I am too ashamed and humiliated to lift up my face to You, my God; for our iniquities have risen higher than our heads, and our guilt has grown up to the heavens.” (Ezra‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)
