LET US PRAY ~ Day 4

LET US PRAY ~ Day 4

Heavenly Father, Allow your Holy Spirit to rest upon your children today—filling us with Your love and peace as we continue to seek your face in steadfast prayer and fasting.

Lead, guide, direct and protect us as we press forward this day. Help us to always remember with humble gratitude what we have been saved FROM—representing our Savior well in interactions with others—avoiding quarreling, responding in gentleness, and showing courtesy toward all people.

Help us to live holy in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation—allowing our Christ lights to shine so bright that the world will see YOU in everything we do, no matter what we are going through.

Help us to recognize these times of crisis as tangible reminders of the need for your divine direction, guidance and intervention. I pray the power of your presence humbles us into submission to your will in every situation and circumstance.

Allow Your anointing to rest upon each of us this day—empowering and equiping us for every good work. It’s in the sovereign saving name of Jesus I pray…Amen.🙏🏽~M. Ford

“Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.” (1 Peter 3:8-9)

LET US PRAY ~ Day 3

Heavenly Father, Help your children to show sympathy, compassion and love to those encountered each day so that we might be blessed as well as be a blessing to others. Even when our encounters are not so pleasant, fortify our faith so that we allow your love to bubble over onto everyone we meet so that we represent your kingdom well here on earth.

Help us to put off prideful ways and lift up all our concerns to You in prayer—understanding our responsibility to live blamelessly before a lost and watching world and trusting You, the righteous Judge, to absolve the righteous and exalt us at the right times.

Bless us with an extra measure of your grace and mercy as we continue to SEEK your will for our lives. For we desire to do greater works in your name—Help us be the light and salt in this dark and unsavory world.

It’s in Jesus’ mighty and matchless name I pray, Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford

“For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”(Matthew 7:8)

Heavenly Father, as we commit to bowing before You in prayer each day as we fast and pray, give us the strength and grace needed to overcome trials, temptations and live holy for your glory. Forgive us of our sins and help us to gain confidence in knowing that Your presence accompanies and sustains those who are of a contrite and humble spirit.

Therefore, help us to walk in the spirit of humility, act justly and love mercy—recognizing that pride leads to destruction and humility breeds honor. It’s in the sovereign, saving name of Jesus I pray…Amen.🙏🏽~M. Ford
