Sovereign God, Holy and Righteous is Your Name! We call upon You, Oh God, to bind up the broken hearted, to cast out the spirit of fear and confusion in our lives, and to loose your power, love, faith and hope within each of us so that we might live our lives holy and acceptable to You! No longer yielding to the ways of this world, succumbing to our lustful fleshly desires, or yielding to temptations and pride of life!

Lord, please guard our hearts and our minds so that our speech, thoughts, actions and deeds line up with Your Word and Your perfect Will. Give us a hungry for the meat of your Word and a thirst for The Living Water that can not be quenched.

Help us, Oh Lord, to choose to believe Your truth over Satan’s lies, so that we might Live Holy daily and bare good and bigger fruit in order to represent your Kingdom well here on earth.

Thank You, Father, for your faithfulness! It’s In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford

“Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare.” (‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55:1-2‬ ‭NIV‬‬)

Heavenly Father, Allow The Spirit of The Living God to rest upon your children today…filling us until we overflow with Your love and peace. I pray the power of your presence humbles us into submission to your Will in every situation, circumstance and area of life. Allow Your anointing to rest upon each of us; empowering and equiping us for even Greater works for Your glory!

Father, Our desire is to represent your kingdom well here on earth as we allow your love to bubble up and over onto everyone we encounter! Lord, help us to Stay Positive and Keep the Faith in these difficult times. For we realize that it’s not by our might, nor by our power, but by The Spirit of The Most High God, the Word of our Testimony and the powerful Blood🩸of the Lamb that was slain that we shall overcome!

Thank you, Lord, for The Victory we have In Jesus who is The Christ! It’s in His sovereign name I pray and praise always! Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford

Father, help us to stand sure in our Faith and grounded in Your Word—always Trusting in our Most High God, El Elyon, who sits high and looks low and nothing escapes Your Holy vision—El Roi!👁☝🏾

“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” (Matthew‬ ‭6:31-34‬) (Proverbs 4:23; Ezekiel 36:26).

Now, Lord, help us to let that light shine so bright that others will see Jesus! Thank you Father for loving us past our faults. It’s in Jesus’ mighty and matchless name we trust and have hope! Hallelujah & Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

Heavenly Father, I pray that Your FAVOR will follow us, Your PEACE be with us, and Your LOVE surround each of Us and our Families, and our Children, and their Children…for generation after generation!

Father God, do not allow our enemies to triumph over us, but allow your Holy Spirit to go before us, be around us, hover over us, be a shield of protection for us, and dwell within us richly!

Father, restore that which has been demolished by the enemy and breath new life into seemingly dead areas of our lives! Uproot and pluck out anything that’s not of You, Father, and send Your latter rains to replenish and restore those dry and desolate places that have ceased to bring you glory!

Lord, Help us to be a walking, breathing, Living testament of Your goodness, mercy and grace as we run this race! All for Your Glory, Oh Lord, ALL FOR YOUR GLORY! Hallelujah JESUS!☝🏾🙏🏽~M. Ford

Abba Father, Forgive us this day of our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Help us to earnestly seek after more of You—to study and meditate on Your Word daily and pray without ceasing, so that we may walk as obedient children, not conforming to the former lusts of our flesh, but living holy in all our conduct. Help us to bring every thought of our minds captive and seek you with our whole hearts—hiding your Word deep within our hearts so that we don’t sin against you and wonder away from your holy commandments. For we know the race is not given to the swift, but to the one who endures to the end! Lord, lead and guide those called by Your name each and every day, so that we may be kept pure and holy…not yielding so easily to sin, but STRENGTHENED by the WORD, ENCOURAGED through PRAYER and EMPOWERED by The HOLY SPIRIT!

Father God, we trust You to not only be our Savior, but our LORD; transforming us into the image of Christ more and more each day as we eagerly work, worship, witness and expectantly await His return! Hallelujah and Amen!☝🏾🙌🏼🙏🏽~M. Ford
