Psalms 37:23-24
"The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord; and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholds him with his hand."

Lord you are a Covenant Keeping God, in whom we place our trust, and we thank you that your love and your mercies are never ending. James 1:17 tells us, "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. Lord, we want to do things your way, and walk uprightly in your presence, and today

Lord, we ask that you may order our steps; make our thoughts, our words, our actions and the decisions we make, be for your greater glory. Lord, let your strength be our strength, for we are weak on our own. Take away our fear, regrets, disappointments, doubts, anger and unforgiveness, and replace in our hearts a spirit of humility, gratitude, hope and trust in your ability to work things out for us, in your time, your way, and for your greater glory.

Lord, as we face the unknowns today, we ask that you will take complete control; may your blessings be upon us, our family, friends and love ones, the lives we touch and everything concerning us. We thank you Lord for hearing our prayers. In Jesus mighty name we pray. Amen.
----------
When we are facing a daunting task or season of change, let’s remember that God goes before us and He broadens our way so we can proceed without fear of collapse.

So let’s rely on God’s strength and acknowledge our need for His ongoing care. Also, take note and give thanks when He widens our path by providing opportunities, and removing hindrances.

🙏Have a great Tuesday!!

Deuteronomy 29:29
"The secret things belong to the Lord our God; but what has been revealed belongs to us and our children forever, so that we might observe the words of this law."

Great is thy name O Lord, and greatly to be praise. Lord, we honour you for Who You are and the things you have done. We give you the glory for your faithfulness, your merciful kindness and tender mercies toward us.

Lord today we thank you for your word; we thank you for what have been revealed to us and our children. We thank you for wisdom, we thank you for knowledge, we thank you for grace that we have through Jesus Christ.

Lord, in your mercy we ask that you will strengthen us where we have fallen short, and forgive us of our sins we pray. Help us Lord, to live according to your word, and walk uprightly in your presence, so that our children, grandchildren, our family, friends and love ones may see, and follow in the path of wisdom and grace, and that your name will be glorified forever more.
In Jesus mighty name we pray. Amen.

Decision

When life does not make sense, we can trust that God sees what we cannot see. His plans are not shallow, random, or careless. Even when we cannot trace His hand, we can trust His heart.

So let’s stay humble, trust God’s wisdom, worship instead of worry, be patient and surrender control. Let remember that we are not called to understand everything, but to trust the One who does.

🙏Have a great Monday!!

Matthew 6: 33
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

Father in Heaven, to you we give all the glory and honour today, for you alone are holy, and you are worthy to be praise. You are the miracle working, All-powerful God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love you, and keep your commands.

You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think, in your time and your own way; And whatever you do Lord, it is well done. Lord, cover our defenseless head today. Let us not stumble, let us not fail, nor let the enemies have dominion over us and our love ones. We admit Lord, that we are weak all by ourselves.

There are so many challenges before us, that we are not able to face on our own; So today, we give all our cares and all our burdens to you, and we ask that you may do for us, the things we cannot do for ourselves.

Lord, we thank you for all the blessings we have already received; the things you have brought us through, the battles you have already won; and those that you are still fighting for us, that we do not even know.

Lord, we thank you for your promise of new things yet to come, that will not be delayed. May we seek you first, and walk in obedience to your will, for your greater glory we pray. In Jesus mighty and matchless name. Amen
--------
We’re invited to engage our hearts, minds, and souls in worship, obedience, and love for God. Then we’re promised that when we are aligned with Him, He plants holy desires in our hearts, desires that reflect His will.

Hence, He fulfills those desires because they are now rooted in His purposes. So let’s practice the act of surrender by placing our plans, fears, and outcomes into His hands.

🙏Have a blessed Sunday!!

Jeremiah 32:17
"Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you."

Lord, have your way with us, and forgive us of our sins. Remove every blockages, break every chain and shackles, deliver, heal and restore what the enemies have stolen from us. Lord, let your word, your mercy, your grace and your presence reach far and wide to us, our family, love ones and friends and to all who need you today.

Lord, you know everyone by name, where they resides; you know all their troubles, their struggles, their pain, their weaknesses; and you know the desires of every heart's. Do a new thing for us Lord; speak a word to us; give us wisdom, a heart of understanding and obedience to follow through with your instructions.

Lord Jesus, let your holy anointing that breaks the yolk of bo***ge be upon us, and all that concerns us. Your anointing that gives birth to new ideas, your anointing that give us hope, encouragement, guidance, direction, deliverance, restoration and protection, and bring things to pass, so we may experience your divine peace and blessings.

Do an extraordinary miracle for us Lord, to your glory and honour we pray. In Jesus mighty name. Amen.

Let us be encouraged to continue trusting in God and when our faith is tested, let’s recall God’s past acts, like creation and that will help us to believe for present deliverance.

Mark 10:27
"But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.”"

Merciful Father, God of the impossible; the Great I Am, we give you glory, honour and praise, and we thank you for blessing us with one more day. We thank you Lord for the gift of salvation and for your saving grace.

We thank you Lord, that all things are possible with you. Lord we believe, and we are trusting in your word, instead of our own limited understanding about the things that are happening in the world, around us, and in our lives.

We are nothing without you Lord, and so we are trusting you for strength, endurance, patience, peace, protection and provision for us, our love ones, and all your people today.

Lord, may your Spirit fill our hearts and guard our minds, so we will not fear, be anxious or lose faith in you, and the work you set out to accomplish in our lives.

Be thou exalted O Lord, in your own strength, and use us as vessels for your greater glory. In Christ Jesus name we pray. Amen.
----------

Let’s be reminded that what we cannot accomplish in our own strength, God can accomplish through His grace and power.

So whatever we are going through, let’s be encouraged not to give up hope, but submit to God and trust his sovereign plan.

🙏Have a wonderful Friday!!!

Matthew 6:34
"Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

Our Father who art in Heaven, we praise you, we honour you, and we give you all the glory for being our God who promise to never leave nor forsake us. We thank you for your grace and mercy that kept us, so we could see another day.

Lord today we pray for strength, we pray for courage and sound minds to face each day. May we be reminded that we are not alone, and that you are our God who is able, no matter how difficult our circumstances may be.

Remind us when we are weak, afraid and feeling alone, that you are a God who never changes; our God, who tells us, "Be anxious for nothing." And that all things will work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.

Lord, take complete control over us, our family, friends and all others who need you today. Fill us with your spirit Lord, as we place our trust in you, and believe, that it is only you alone who have total control of our lives and what our tomorrow holds. May we be reminded, that when we seek first, the kingdom of God, all things will be added unto us.

Lord, we thank you for loving us, and for hearing our prayers today; may your name be glorified forever more. In Jesus mighty name we pray. Amen.

When life becomes too heavy to carry, we’re reminded that we were never meant to carry it alone.

The Lord not only invites us to bring our burdens to Him but He promises to sustain us and give us peace that the world cannot offer.

Let’s keep trusting Him.🙏 Have a fabulous Thursday!!

Ephesians 5:15-16
"Be very careful, then, how you live; not as unwise, but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil."

Father, you are the Only Wise God, who knows all things from the beginning to the ending, and to you we give all the glory, honour and praise. We thank you for another day O Lord, we thank you for life, we thank you for wisdom, and we thank you for your saving grace.

May your wisdom be our portion today, as you lead and direct us, so we may not become wise in our own eyes, but in your eyes. And as you fill us with your wisdom, we pray that you will give us a heart of understanding, a heart that is pure and full of hunger and thirst for righteousness.

Lord, as we face the unknowns each day, we pray that you will fill us with your spirit. May your strength be our strength, may your peace be our peace, and may your way be our way; for your greater glory. In Jesus mighty name we pray Amen.
--------
Decision

Let us not waste time or try to escape time through entertainment , worry or idleness.

We’re called to redeem the time for eternal purposes. Wisdom is living in light of eternity and making each day count for God's kingdom.

So let’s daily pray that we don’t drift through life, but ask God to teach us to live today as if it matters for eternity.

🙏 Have a fantastic Wednesday!!

Jeremiah 32:17
"Ah Lord God! Behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by your great power, and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for you."

Father we give you thanks for life, we thank you for your everlasting love, for your faithfulness and your tender mercies towards us. Lord, this is the day you have made, and we will rejoice and be glad you did.

Whatever we lack today Lord, remind us that you are able to provide for us more than we can ever ask for, or imagine; even out of unexpected places. You are the God of power, and you are able to do for us, what no other gods can do.

Lord, may we meditate on your promise written in your word, "All things work together for good, for those who love you." May your way be our way O Lord, as you order our steps today.

Keep us strong and courageous; give us wisdom, and fill us with the spirit of gratitude, obedience and faith in your power to do all things. In Jesus mighty name we pray. Amen.
--------
We can be comforted to know that even in our suffering or confusion, we can trust that God's plan will not be derailed by our circumstances, mistakes, or the evil of others.

Also, when we are feeling helpless we can be assured that our God is not helpless and His strength will always cover our weakness.

🙏Have an awesome Tuesday!!
