Monday Morning Prayer 5-18-26
FATHER, EMPOWER US BEFORE WE BEGIN THIS FULL WEEK REBUKING AND BURYING "NEGATIVE ENERGY"!!! WE HAVE BEEN LEARNING THROUGH YOUR WORD THAT NEGATIVE ENERGY OFTEN TAKES ROOT IN THE HEART LONG BEFORE IT IS SEEN IN ACTIONS OR WORDS!!! Your Word also shows us that it begins subtly through hurt, disappointment, fear, unforgiveness, comparison, and emotional wounds that are left untreated. For when our our hearts are not guarded or healed, it becomes a storage place for heaviness that eventually affects our spiritual sensitivity and peace of mind. Proverbs 17:22 says, "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." FATHER, help us know that maintaining 'A POSITIVE OUTLOOK AND ENERGY' contributes to physical and spiritual health, while negativity saps our strength. MAY THIS WEEK BRING UNSHAKEABLE VITALITY TO OUR LIVES AND FOSTER AN ENVIRONMENT OF HOPE!!! In Your Son
Jesus name, Amen!!! Apostle M.R. Stone

FATHER, IN THIS MEANDERING PATH OF LIFE, LIBERATE US FROM THE SHACKLES OF PERFECTIONISM!!! REMIND US THAT WE ARE FASHIONED IN YOUR IMAGE, "A PORTRAIT OF WORKS-IN-PROGRESS"!!! Console our hearts when they strain under the weight of unrealistic standards. Nurture the courage within us to accept imperfections, as it produces sterling tenacity, and we're humbled knowing 'YOU' value effort over perfection. Replace our misplaced belief that our worth depends on flawless performance WITH THE TRUTH THAT OUR IDENTITY IS SECURE IN YOU! Grant us peace amid continual progression. 2 Corinthians 12:9 says, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect IN WEAKNESS." FATHER, allow us to bask in YOUR LOVE, A TRUE PERFECTION free from confines or human constructs!!! In Your Son Jesus name, Amen! Apostle M.R. Stone
