A HOUSE OF PRAYER

A HOUSE OF PRAYER

Our Father in Heaven—The One who sits high and look low.🙌🏼

May your Name be kept Holy—That we always recognize who You are and respond with reverence!🙌🏼

May Your Kingdom come—For we wait on tiptoes of anticipation for You to crack the sky on Your return!🙌🏼

May Your will be done on earth, as it is done in heaven—Not our will, but Your perfect will be done!🙌🏼

Give us today the food we need—For we trust and depend on You, just like the sparrow!🙌🏼

Forgive us our sins—For we have ALL sinned and fallen short of your glory!🙌🏼

Help us to forgive those who sin against us—Because we want Your forgiveness in our time of need.🙌🏼

And help us not yield to temptation—For Satan is cunning in all his ways! Rescue us from the evil one—Because although we fall down, we can still get up again!🙌🏼

For Yours is the Kingdom—Hallelujah!🙌🏼

And the Power—Hallelujah!🙌🏼

And the Glory!🙌🏼

Forever and Evermore—Hallelujah, Hallelujah and Amen!🙏🏽

“ ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer’….” (Matthew 21:13)

I HUMBLY SUBMIT

I HUMBLY SUBMIT

Heavenly Father, Help us not to be full of self, but to be filled with your Holy Spirit—to walk in the spirit of humility, just as Jesus walked. Each and every day to deliberately seek to be more like Christ—to act justly, love mercy and live each day recognizing that pride leads to destruction and humility breeds honor.

Thank you, Father, for leading and guiding your children in the way that is right and good in your sight as we humbly submit and surrender to your will.

Thank you for loving us past our faults and failures into a future filled with your precious promises! It’s in Jesus’ sovereign name I pray…Amen.🙏🏽~M. Ford

“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8)

SAVIOUR AND LORD

SAVIOUR AND LORD

Heavenly Father, As we enter a brand new day, please go before us, be with us, and watch over us as we strive to walk in purpose, do the work of the ministry, Live Holy, and show and share the Love of Christ everywhere we go!

Open our hearts LORD—make us sensitive and give us spiritual discernment to examine every part of our lives where there may be vulnerability to sin, unholy habits and wicked ways. Help us to remain pure and Holy—not yielding easily to sin, but rather mounting up in our most Holy Faith, for such a time as this; taking captive every impure thought, and crucifying this flesh daily so that we may operate in the spirit and not in the flesh. Allow the words of our mouth and the meditation of our heart to align with your Will and always be acceptable in your sight.

Help us to eagerly and humbly allow You to be both SAVIOUR and LORD—transforming us day by day into the image of Christ. This is my humble prayer—In the mighty Name of Jesus I pray. Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford

“With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments! Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.” (Psalms 119:10-11)

MISSION POSSIBLE

MISSION POSSIBLE

Heavenly Father, As we remember YOUR great sacrifice for us—How You were slain so that we can wear Your Name—We dare not forget that it was YOUR LOVE that Saved us and Raised us from sinking in sin!

Because of Your Grace we are saved by Faith; therefore, we continually PRAY for those who are still walking in the blindness and degradation of unbelief’s sin. Allow the purifying power of Your Holy Spirit to penetrate the Hearts of those who are lost, so that they will believe and receive the free gift of your salvation while their blood is yet running warm in their veins.

Father, Bring forth healing, restoration and wholeness to those who are sick, torn and broken—For when YOU come into a situation everything must CHANGE and bow to Your sovereignty! You indeed are a deliverer, healer, restorer and mender of broken things.

LORD GOD, You are still in the miracle-working business! We trust You, Oh GOD, to do those things men call impossible—for with YOU it’s NOW MISSION POSSIBLE! Show us YOUR GLORY, Oh GOD! It’s in the mighty and matchless NAME above all names, JESUS, I pray and praise always! Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford

“And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?” But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:24-26 NKJV)

NEVER ALONE

Heavenly Father, You alone are our help and hope in times like these. In You alone we find Strength to endure. You alone are our Rock of Ages, our Anchor that grips, our Balm of Gilead, our Battle Ax, our Redeemer, our Solid Rock!

This day We choose to have an attitude of gratitude, and a Spirit of Praise as we move forward in Faith—not putting our trust in things of this world, but having the wisdom to put all of our faith and trust in YOU—Our Sovereign Savior, Prince of Peace, Bread of Heaven, Alpha and Omega, The Great I AM! You are Lord Of ALL and Over ALL…hear the hearts cry of Your people this day! It’s in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus The Christ I pray and praise always. Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

“For the wound of the daughter of my people is my heart wounded; I mourn, and dismay has taken hold on me. Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then has the health of the daughter of my people not been restored?” (Jeremiah 8:21-22 ESV)
