For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD;
Song; Precious Lord
Our Father and Our God please continue to take our hand. Continue to lead us on. This morning as we come to the throne of grace. We first ask that You forgive us for our sins.
Lord Thank You for watching over us and then waking us up. Lord while You are in that hospital, nursing home, and even in hospice care. Lord touch, heal, and comfort. Lord, I’m bringing all manners of sickness and disease. Lord speak and we can be made whole. Lord, I’m bringing broken hearts, who are grieving and mourning. Lord mend them. In Jesus Christ’s name Amen 🙏🏾

Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Song; I’ll Fly Away
Our Father and Our God every now and then we get a reminder of our own immortality. This morning I was reminded as the phone rang and my cousin told me that a family member had passed away. It’s even more disheartening when the person is younger. I thought as I prepared this prayer. I know that the things that we say are well intended. However, let’s stop telling people not to cry. Let’s stop rushing people through the process. Let’s just sit quietly with them, let’s reserve the right to be quiet and just be there. I’m going to bed early and I am shutting off my phone. As the saying goes “This one hits differently “ Lord comfort those who are struggling with grief and the mourning process. In Jesus Christ’s name Amen 🙏🏾

Song; Our God Is An Awesome God
Our Father and Our God we come humbly before You. Thanking You for another day. Lord someone woke up in pain and they need a touch from You. Someone woke up struggling with depression and anxiety. Lord they need a touch from You. Lord we are asking You to go before us and make the path smooth. In Jesus Christ’s name Amen 🙏🏾

Song; Lost Without You
Our Father and Our God as I prepare to pray. I want to encourage someone to understand that dealing with depression isn’t easy, and it doesn’t have anything to do with your faith or the lack of faith. So many stories in the Bible show us the battle with depression, stress, and all manner of sickness.
Tonight I’m praying for those who are suffering from depression. I’m praying for those struggling trying to understand life’s challenges. Lord when we can’t utter a word. Lord hear our hearts. In Jesus Christ’s name Amen 🙏🏾

I would not have you to be ignorant. . .
Song; Something Got A Hold Of Me
Our Father and Our God Thank You for Your Son Jesus Christ who paid the price and became He did,I am redeemed. This morning I want to encourage us to get our house in order. We don’t know the time,nor the hour. The saying goes “ be ready,so you don’t have to get ready “ He said He was coming back. My mom would give us chores ,and then leave. She would say have it done when i get home. Now if we messed around and didn’t get it done. We would be in trouble. We can’t wait till she’s coming through the door,it would be too late. The Father is coming back,don’t wait until it is too late. Lord, I pray that we will be ready when You return. In Jesus Christ’s name Amen 🙏🏾

The B part : weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
Song; Just A Closer Walk With Thee
Our Father and Our God talking with a grieving mother and hearing her strength brings a certain amount of joy. When she shares a memory that brings her to laughter. If only for a moment. She had joy. I would like to encourage someone who is struggling with the grief and loss of a loved one. One of the staples of my sermons when I am asked to do a eulogy. I ask people to close their eyes and think of a moment that they had with the decedent.
Usually smiles come across their faces,and in that moment they can feel the joy. Tonight as you read this prayer. Take a moment and reflect. Lord we Thank You for lives lived. No matter the time, we celebrate their lives. In Jesus Christ’s name Amen 🙏🏾

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
Song; What A Time
Our Father and Our God sometimes it is good to look back on life,reflect if you will. Growing up as a child in a family church. I remember my grandparents,parents,uncles and aunts. I didn’t really understand it then,however looking back gives me a greater understanding. It is a part of my foundation. Perhaps there are somethings that we would rather not look back on,and trust me there are some for me. But I choose the best ones. Lord bring back those memories to someone who is struggling and needs a reminder of Your goodness, grace, and mercy. In Jesus Christ’s name Amen 🙏🏾

His eye is on the sparrow
Song; Jesus Be A Fence
Our Father and Our God we understand the purpose of a fence. It is to keep some things in while keeping other things out. Lord, we know that You are too wise to make a mistake, too kind to be cruel. You are an all-knowing God. This morning we are asking You to be a fence around us. Keeping those things, and people who come against us out of our lives, and then keeping those things and people in our lives that are good for us. Lord many of us used to live for the weekend. Now Lord we live for You. Lord continue to bless us and keep us. In Jesus Christ’s name Amen 🙏🏾

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Song; My Soul Is Anchored In The Lord
Our Father and Our God no matter the level of vengeance, it is Yours. The greatest betrayal was when Judas kissed Jesus Christ. Some of you may feel betrayed and you have, or are considering how you can get them back. Even after He was betrayed, and even after they nailed Him to the cross. He said “ Father forgive them, for they know not what they do” Tonight I want to pray for those who feel used and abused. I want to pray that you will allow God to fight your battles. Lord give relief to those who are feeling this way, and lord touch those who are the cause. In Jesus Christ’s name Amen 🙏🏾

Song; Order My Steps
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Tonight I am led by The Holy Spirit to tell someone. To wake up and live. You cannot sleep depression away. You cannot sleep a broken heart away. You can’t isolate yourself away from the pain. Face it, cry, scream. Do whatever it takes, outside of hurting yourself, or someone. I’m not asking you to rush the process. However, I am asking you to live. Our Father and Our God. I have been obedient and I have shared Your message. Now Lord speak and they shall live again. In Jesus Christ’s name Amen 🙏🏾
