Heavenly Father, We come before you on this Monday morning, still basking in the powerful presence of your Spirit that we experienced at church yesterday. We are grateful for the way you filled us and touched our hearts.

As we begin a new week, we pray for your guidance and wisdom to make the right choices. Help us to keep seeking you and your kingdom above all else. May we make you our top priority in every area of our lives.

Lord, we know that the enemy will try to distract us and lead us astray. But we declare that we will not be swayed by his tactics. With your strength and grace, we will stand firm in our faith and follow your will.

We pray for your protection, provision and favor upon us this week. May your peace and joy reign in our hearts and minds, even in the midst of challenges and trials. Help us to shine your light and be a source of hope and encouragement to those around us.

Thank you for your constant faithfulness and love towards us. We surrender this week to you and trust that you will lead and guide us every step of the way. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

When you know God heard your prayers…..literally right after I prayed I opened Facebook and this is the first post I saw. (Wasn’t a set prayer time, I am sitting outside listening to the rain and just had a feeling to pray)

God is good

Please be in prayer for our #outreach in South Bend, IN which begins this afternoon. I will be doing prayer walks through some very struggling neighborhoods, spending time in parks, and watching for the Holy Spirit to open doors to speak with someone and plant seeds of Love and Hope. And also spending time at Potato Creek State Park hiking, fishing, etc while also looking for Open Doors to share.

Heavenly Father, on this Thankful Thursday morning, we come to you with hearts full of gratitude. We thank you for the gift of another day, for the new opportunities it brings, and for the blessings that we may have taken for granted. We are thankful for the roof over our heads, the food on our tables, and the clothes on our backs.

We are also grateful for your love and unwavering presence in our lives. You have carried us through the highs and lows, and for that, we are eternally grateful. Help us to never lose sight of your goodness and faithfulness, even in the midst of challenges and trials.

Give us the wisdom and strength to use this day to make a positive difference in the world, to spread love and kindness to those around us, and to be a source of hope for those in need. May we never forget that every good and perfect gift comes from you.

Thank you, Lord, for all that you have done, are doing, and will continue to do in our lives. May our hearts overflow with thanksgiving and praise for you. In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
