Morning Prayer
This week we are asking GOD for a Heart for our community each morning:
Thank you, Heavenly Father, for where you have placed me at this time. Where I live is no accident. My neighborhood is my mission field, and I declare that this community will be saturated with the love of Jesus. The lies of the enemy have no power here. Uncover a love, in me, for my neighbors that shines in the darkness. Stir the hearts of those that live here to defend the weak and forgotten. Connect younger generations with older generations. Create every home to be a safe haven of friendship, kindness, and compassion. May no one in this community go hungry. May no one go unnoticed. Transform lives in my community. Help me change the atmosphere in my community in the name of Jesus. Amen!

Today’s motivation
“You are capable of far more than you think you are.” “I can’t run. I can’t skip Starbucks. I can’t skip breakfast. I can’t just let things go. I can’t read; it’s so boring. I can’t meditate. I can’t get rid of Facebook. I can’t get rid of Instagram. I can’t journal. I can’t I can’t I can’t.” WHY CAN’T YOU?? There’s a science behind our choices that says we like dopamine hits. We’d prefer scrolling Insta to meditating because at the moment it feels better but YOU have a CHOICE to pick what you KNOW is better for you. Stop living on the first ‘primitive’ plateau and challenge yourself!

Evening Prayer
Set an alarm for this evening so you remember to end your day with God.
Lord my God, I am in awe of the wonders You have done and the things You have planned for me. No one can compare with You. I tried to make a list of everything You have done for me, but they are be too many to count! Thank You for opening my ears to Your words. God, doing Your will is the desire of my heart. I will not keep quiet about all You have done. I won’t hide Your righteousness in my heart. I will share Your faithfulness and Your saving grace. I won’t hide Your love for me and for those around me. Amen.
