Heavenly Father, Thank you for a new day, a new week and a new year—for they all come with new opportunities to do good, love mercy and walk humbly with you our God.

Father, I come praying for peace, love, harmony, prosperity and healing to be released within our homes, churches and communities.

I pray that God’s people…those called by His name…will rise up and kneel down in prayer, not only during difficult times like these, but when things are going well in order that we may live peaceful lives, honoring YOU, Abba, at all times and in all things.

Revive Us Again, Oh Lord, so that we might do GREATER works for Your Glory!

I humbly pray this prayer in the precious name of Jesus, Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

“Finally, brothers, rejoice. Aim for restoration, comfort one another, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.”(2 Corinthians 13:11)

Heavenly Father, As we stand at the threshold of a New Year, we put all of our hope, trust and faith in You, who made the heavens and the earth by simply saying, “Let there be”!

I pray that the hearts of the people will be turned back to You, Oh God, and that the scriptures will once again guide our decision making and daily living.

For I know that you are the only light of hope we have in this present darkness; and the only remedy for our sin-sick world.

Nevertheless, I fervently pray that people of ALL colors, rich and poor alike, will seek to know You, The True & Living God, in the beauty of Your holiness!

Jehovah God, Open blinded eyes to the Truth of Your Word. Help us to recognize, discern and defuse the tricks and traps of the enemy before they divide, lay waste, conquer and destroy.

Sharpen our hearing to be sensitive to Your voice of divine direction; and set guard around our hearts and minds so that our desires and thoughts line up with Your Will and mirror Your Word.

For you alone, Oh God, exercise loving kindness, righteousness and judgment throughout the land! There is nothing too hard for You.

Father God, Hear our heart’s cry and plea on this new day filled with Your new mercies! It’s In Jesus’ name I pray and praise always…Hallelujah and Amen!🙏🏽~M. Ford

“Thus says the LORD: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his riches; But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am the LORD, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” says the LORD.” (Jeremiah‬ ‭9:23-24‬)
