“If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14 ESV)
Father God, thank you for giving us your Holy Spirit to teach us all things; empower us when we are weak; correct us when we stray; and direct us in the right way!

Your love never quits, never falters, and never fails!
Father, help us this day to walk in holiness as a lifestyle—letting our Christ-lights shine ever so bright—so that the lost can find their way back to You, and the saved will be encouraged to run on for you a little while longer!

“Since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”” (1 Peter 1:16)
Heavenly Father, help us to seek Your Face with our whole hearts; and not to wonder from Your commandments, but to do what is just and right in your sight. Help us to love mercy and to walk humbly with You, Oh God!
Holy Spirit, prompt us to always pray fervently for the lost to be saved and for the saved to be transformed into the image of Christ. Give us that special sincere brotherly love for one another that runs from heart-to-heart and breast-to-breast; not finding it robbery to take the time to show and share the love of Christ.
Father, help us to eagerly and humbly allow the transforming power of The Blood🩸of Jesus to wash away our sins and make us over until You become not only savior, but Lord of our lives!
It’s in the wonder-working Name of Jesus I pray and praise always…Amen.🙏🏽~M. Ford

“Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart” (1 Peter 1:22)
Heavenly Father, Thank for your precious blood 🩸 that can wash away every guilty stain of sin.
For You have commanded us to be Holy, just as you are Holy. Help your children to desire and seek after Your holiness and righteousness more than seeking after selfish pleasure and the things of this world.
Stir up within us a burning desire to study and meditate on your Word—hiding your Word deep within our hearts, so that we will not sin against You, Oh God!
Then, when the temptations come, we will have a solid foundation built upon your Word to help us live pure and holy—not yielding so easily to sin, lusts of the flesh, pride of life, and the wicked ways of this world.
Thank you, Father, for being forever faithful! It’s in the mighty and matchless Name above every name—JESUS! Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

“As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct”. (1 Peter 1:14-15)
Heavenly Father, I come praying that the Peace of God will cover each of us like a blanket as we go forward in Faith today—trusting in Your Holy Word and not leaning to our own understanding.
Give us that peace which reassures us when we doubt; that settles our spirit in the midst of chaos; that comforts our soul in times of tribulation; that transcends all understanding; and that is incomprehensible to those who do not put their trust in You.
Father, I pray that THAT PEACE will stand guard over our hearts and our minds during these tumultuous times and give us a blessed assurance that can only come from completely trusting You!
Father, grant this petition on this day for all those who seek Your peace and join in praying this Prayer. It’s in the sovereign name of Jesus I pray. Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

Father God, Order our every step in your holy Word! Endow us with an overwhelming desire to seek your Will above our own ways.

Give us spiritual 20/20 and fine-tune our hearing so that we recognize your hand in our circumstances and are responsive to your voice and guidance of The Holy Spirit.
Lord, our desire is to not carry out the lusts of our flesh, but to walk in holiness day-by-day. Thank you for loving us beyond our faults and leading us gentle into righteousness for your namesake. It’s in the saving Name above all names, Jesus, I pray and praise always. Amen 🙏🏽
