Wednesday Morning Prayer 8-5-26
FATHER, WE APPEAR TO BE LIVING IN UNCERTAIN TIMES AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR GUIDANCE!!! NOT EVERY SEASON OF LIFE COMES WITH CLEAR ANSWERS!!! SOMETIMES WE'RE PRAYING WHILE WAITING FOR DIRECTION, WISDOM, AND UNDERSTANDING ABOUT "WHAT COMES NEXT"!!! May we never lose sight that even in uncertainty, YOU continue to guide WE YOUR CHILDREN with patience and love. Proverbs 3:5 says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." FATHER, we place our uncertain thoughts and decisions into YOUR hand. Lead us gently where YOU want us to go, and give us peace while we wait for clarity and direction!!! In Your Son Jesus name, Amen! Apostle M.R. Stone

Monday Morning Prayer 8-3-26
FATHER, SOME MORNINGS WE FEEL CALM, WHILE OTHERS BEGIN WITH ANXIOUS THOUGHTS EVEN BEFORE A "NEW WEEK" HAS EVEN STARTED!!! RESPONSIBILITIES, UNANSWERED QUESTIONS, AND EMOTIONAL FATIGUE HAS QUIETLY BEGUN WEIGHING ON OUR HEARTS!!! Thank YOU for reminding us that YOUR PEACE is still available for us. Thank YOU for giving peace that does not depend on circumstances. Isaiah 26:3 says, "YOU will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in YOU." FATHER, please Calm all our thoughts this week and help us walk through every moment with quiet trust in YOUR presence and care. LET OUR HEARTS REST IN YOU COMPLETELY!!! In Your Son Jesus name, Amen! Apostle M.R. Stone

Thursday Morning Prayer 7-30-26
FATHER, WE PAUSE THIS MORNING TO SEEK YOU FOR FORGIVENESS!!! TO CONFESS OUR SINS KNOWING WITHIN US THAT WE AREN'T PERFECT AND THERE'S NO NEED TO PRETEND THAT WE ARE!!! THAT BY COMING TO YOU IN ALL HONESTY AND ADMITTING OUR SINS THROUGH PRAYER OF CONFESSION, WE CAN EXPERIENCE THE LIBERATING AND REDEEMING POWER OF "YOUR FORGIVENESS"!!! So we're here because of our transgressions, known and unknown, and that we have been pushing ourselves far from YOU with patted down arrogance. But because YOU love us, we can feel EVEN NOW...YOUR presence bringing us back to YOUR loving arms! 1 John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." FATHER, WE WANT TO RETURN TO YOU!!! Forgive us for failing to stay FAITHFUL to our promises of ADMITTING OUR WRONGS AND SEEKING YOU FOR YOUR GRACE, MERCY, AND FORGIVENESS!!! In Your Son
Jesus name, Amen! Apostle M.R. Stone

Father GOD, I praise You that my actions reveal my faith. I do not have to convince others with words alone because my obedience speaks for itself. Today I demonstrate trust through action, follow through on my commitments, and put my faith on display through obedience. Jas. 2:18 AMPC We

FATHER, WE ARE ALWAYS PUSHING AND SEARCHING TO SEEK YOU FROM OUR HEARTS!!! WE'RE BETTER UNDERSTANDING THAT "PRAYER OF THE HEART" IS MORE THAN SPOKEN WORDS, BUT IT IS THE DEEPEST EXPRESSION OF OUR SPIRIT "REACHING OUT TO YOU"!!! It is the kind of prayer that flows from sincerity, brokenness, love, and total dependence on YOU, even when we don't have the right words to say. YOUR WORD reminds us in Romans 8:26 that "the Spirit helps us in our weakness...the Spirit himself intercede for us through wordless groans." Help us see that this shows that YOU understand even the prayers we CANNOT VERBALIZE!!! FATHER, may we know that the prayer of the heart is not about performance...IT'S ABOUT PRESENCE! It is where honesty meets faith, and our human weakness meets YOUR DIVINE STRENGTH! Please draw near to us as we draw near to YOU, and teach us to love YOU sincerely!!! In Your Son Jesus name,
Amen! Apostle M.R. Stone ”

Tuesday Morning Prayer 7-21-26
FATHER, YOUR 'GRACE' IS MOSTLY NOT TOTALLY UNDERSTOOD BY US HUMANS!!! PLEASE FORGIVE US!!! FOR IN THE TAPESTRY OF OUR CHRISTIAN WALK, "GRACE" STANDS AS A RADIANT THREAD, WOVEN THROUGH EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIVES!!! Help us see clearer...THAT GRACE is the unmerited favor of YOU, a divine gift that sustains us, empowers us, and guides us through the complexities of life. AND more than just forgiveness for past sins, GRACE is the ongoing, active presence of YOUR love and power, enabling us to live a life that honors YOU!!! 2 Corinthians 12:9 says, "My GRACE is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect IN weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." FATHER, infuse us with YOUR divine strength, not of our own making, but drawn from YOUR boundless reservoir OF GRACE!!! In Your Son Jesus name, Amen! Apostle M.R. Stone

Monday Morning Prayer 7-20-26
FATHER, WE'RE KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR THIS MORNING FOR "MERCY"!!! MERCY WHEN WE'RE FEELING UNWORTHY!!! WOW, OKAY, JUST BEING TRANSPARENT; 'SOMETIMES' WE FEEL UNWORTHY OF YOUR LOVE AND MERCY!!! Our past and present mistakes and failures make us doubt ourselves. BUT, YOUR WORD reminds us that in CHRIST, we are not condemned...'WE ARE REDEEMED'! Romans 8:1 says, "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in CHRIST JESUS." FATHER, please remove the lies of the enemy from our hearts and replace them with YOUR TRUTH! Remind us that we are loved, valued, AND CHOSEN!!! In Your Son Jesus name, Amen! Apostle M.R. Stone

Thursday Morning Prayer 7-16-26
FATHER, NOT A DAY GO BY WHERE WE AREN'T IN THE NEED FOR 'PEACE OF MIND'!!! HELP US SEE THAT IN MOMENTS WHEN OUR THOUGHTS RACE AND OUR HEARTS FEEL HEAVY, YOU ARE THERE TO INVITE US INTO YOUR STILLNESS!!! May we know in our praying this morning, that PEACE OF MIND is more than whispered words; they are anchors for our souls in times of stress, uncertainty, and emotional storms. Whether we are battling anxiety, shouldering life's burdens, or simply longing for rest, our asking through prayers offer a quiet space to breathe deeply and let go. Philippians 4:7 says, "the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." FATHER, may we see that PEACE OF MIND is not something we earn; it is something we receive when we align our hearts with YOUR HEART! DWELL IN OUR HEARTS AND CALM OUR SOUL!!! In Your Son Jesus name, Amen! Apostle M.R. Stone

Tuesday Morning Prayer 7-14-26
FATHER, PLEASE CONTINUE TO RESHAPE US, WE NO LONGER WANT TO LIVE IN OLD PATTERNS!!! OLD PATTERNS THAT WERE ESTABLISH WHILE LIVING SINFULLY IN OUR FLESH!!! WE DON'T WANT TO KEEP REPEATING THE SAME MISTAKES!!! Help us break free from old habits, old attitudes, and things we know 'ARE NOT FROM YOU'! 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" FATHER, thank You for making us a new creation! Help us walk IN THAT TRUTH every day, even when it's hard. In Your Son Jesus name, Amen! Apostle M.R. Stone

Friday Morning Prayer 7-10-26
FATHER, EMPOWER US TO STAND FIRM WHEN "CHANGE" HAPPENS IN OUR LIVES!!! WE ADMIT THAT CHANGE CAN BE BOTH EXCITING AND SCARY!!! THAT CHANGE HAS A WAY OF STIRRING EVERY EMOTION AT ONCE!!! Help us stand firm knowing that if we're facing CHANGE, we're not weak for feeling overwhelmed..."WE'RE HUMAN!" And that prayer is one of the strongest things we can do to stay grounded when everything else feels like it's shifting. Open our hearts and minds to see that CHANGE isn't only about new surroundings, it's about becoming someone new inside. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says. "To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven." FATHER, we're asking that YOU would shape us during changing seasons of transition. May we be reassure that whether we're stepping into something new, letting go of the past, or longing for personal transformation, 'YOU PROMISE TO WALK WITH US'!!! In Your Son
Jesus name, Amen! Apostle M.R. Stone
