Midnight Prayer

Don't be moved by your current situation, rather move your situation with the word! Tonight I stand on his word not just for me but for others! God doesn't expect for you to handle it by yourself, he wants you to release it to him. "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." I Peter 5:17NIV


Father,

First we pray for your will to be done! We lift up those that feel abandoned. God hasn't left you! "Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.”Deuteronomy 31:8NLT

We lift up the institution of marriage. We pray that you would allow God fully into your marriage, may he rekindle your love for each other. The enemy would like to destroy what God has joined together, as a couple you must stand firm on God's word and work together as a team through prayer, especially when you see the tactics of the enemy coming at you. Guard your marriage, cover each other with the word. Therefore what God had joined together let no man separate. (Matthew 19:6NLT)

There are many who are in need of a physical healing, we intercede on behalf of those that "No weapon formed against them shall be able to prosper"Isaiah 54:17NLT, we also believe that by "your stripes, we are healed!" Isaiah 53:15NLT. Thank you for healing us according to your word, even when our natural minds could not believe or understand, you give us your word to remind us of your promises, “Then your salvation will come like the dawn,and your wounds will quickly heal. Your godliness will lead you forward,and the glory of the LORD will protect you from behind."Isaiah 58:8NLT

Lord we pray that we would see our lives as you view it.....we know that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, we know that you have given us a life of abundance and the enemy wants us to feel as if we are less than, thank you for leading us into our abundant season and removing all fears of living a full life. (John 10:10)

Help us to love our neighbor as ourselves, we pray for our nation, that you would guide our leaders. In times when everything is uncertain, we can find rest and assurance in you and your word. Even during this election time, guide our hands on the ballots that we may choose the right leader in our local communities and in our government. We pray for our current administration, that our President would make the best choices for the people.

Thank you for keeping your word, Your word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path(Psalms 119:105NLT)....thank you for guiding us down the path of righteousness and not abandoning us. We lift up those that feel as if their prayers are not being answered, I just pray that you would give them mustard size faith to believe in the impossible. Even though their eyes can't see it, let them hear in the spirit that the prayers are being answered.

We thank you in advance for what you are going to do in this season of our lives.

In Jesus Name,

Amen!

Entrepreneur Prayer

I am praying that God gives you the stamina to overcome, the doubters and those that are whispering in your ear that you can't make it or that your business or life is a failure. There is no lack in God and he is faithful to bring to pass all of the promises concerning you.

I also pray that as you get up each day that God gives you a new zeal for your business that he would awaken your faith so that you are able to be a resource to your community.

I am praying for you, my entrepreneur friends, don't give up on what you believe in! You have had some hurdles to overcome, but you had strength to jump over them. Your business will sustain if you remain focused and humble. You can not listen to everything and you can't take everyone with you, I know you know what I'm talking about, especially if they don't believe in your vision. It's time to unpack the dead weight and it's time to soar with eagles wings. I am praying for your increase, may this be your best year ever, you will not have a loss but you shall profit! What satan meant for your bad, God has turned it around for your good!

May God Bless each and every one of you!cp

The Underdog!

I don't watch a lot of sports, but today, as I rested I caught a few NCAA basketball games. Interesting enough was the teams that were not slated to win, WON and for some teams they were predicted to win, they LOST. The underdog always has smack (junk) talked about them, no one expects them to make it through the first quarter, yet alone to keep the momentum going until the end of the game.

In my younger years I remember reading "The Tortoise and The Hare", I was amazed at how the hare continuously bragged about his speed and that he would beat the slow moving tortoise. The tortoise never retorted back with any words, yet he stayed on his slow moving course. Surely, the tortoise was tired of hearing the hare's mouth and probably frustrated that it was taking him so long to get to his final destination. Nevertheless, the tortoise kept it moving. Even with all of his speed and agility the hare became tired and thought he could rest a little while. What a mistake the hare was making. As the story ends the hare took a total of three naps and it wasn't until the last nap, that he saw his opponent getting ready to cross the finish line. With all of his speed, the hare jumped up to run and beat the tortoise, only to get to the finish line and lose to the very one he picked on!

There are times when you will have people in your life that will talk about you and doubt the very thing that you are doing. Pay no attention to what they have to say, rather stay focused on your course. Eventually they will become like the hare and get tired of you trying to catch up with them and take a nap. Their negative restless behavior will cause them to sleep, while you patiently and quietly cross the finish line.

Underdogs have a relentless amount of determination and perseverance that helps them to stay focused! Don't give up, stay in the race, you are almost at the finish line of victory!

A prayer for you, my friend!

Today, not only do I pray for myself but I am also praying for my CHAMPION friends. Praying for those that are dealing with sickness, lack of finances, for those looking for a job and those searching for peace.

I pray that the Lord would silence the doubters/enemies in your life that have you feeling like you can't make it, when in fact the word of God has declared that you are above and not beneath, you are the head and not the tail.(Deuteronomy 28:13) Stand up tall and use your kingdom authority and let satan know to get thee behind you! (Matthew 16:23)

Yes, you may be on medicine but God gives us wisdom and direction and through his word we can declare that "by his stripes you are healed of your infirmities." Isaiah 53:5

Thank you for the direction of our finances, according to Proverbs 3:5-6 that we should trust in you, so we trust you with our finances, thank you that you are helping us to become better stewards over what you have given us. Help us to hold onto your word found in 2 Corinthians 9:10 "For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you."

Lord we know that we are faced with tough economic times and jobs are scarce however, Lord you can provide. I pray that you would open our minds up to the creativity that you have given us for we know that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalms 139:14 it is in our wonderfulness that our creativity can be poured out...I pray that through this process new ideas and businesses are birthed!

For my friends that are wrestling with life and you feel as if you are being penned down to the ground and you can't take another breath, I pray that you will begin to receive God's peace. May his peace saturate every restless area of your life, may you not look to others for peace but look solely to God. Lean on his everlasting arms...."Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7

As we continue to seek you God, I pray that you would give my friends strength, without your strength, they will not have your joy. So today may we all receive your strength. Help us to not go weary in doing well, and even though our legs feel week, help us to be mindful that the race isn't given to the swift nor to the strong, but to the one who endures until the end. For you are the author and finisher of our faith, it is in you that we put our trust! (Nehemiah 8:10, Galatians 6:9, Ecclesiastes 9:11, Hebrews 12:2, Psalms 20:7; 56:3)

In Jesus Name!

Amen!
