His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Song; Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Our Father and Our God You have always been faithful to us, even when we weren’t faithful to you. Lord tonight I come on behalf of so many grieving families. Asking You to comfort them. Arrangements will be made and loved ones will be laid to rest. Then the mourning and grieving will begin. Lord touch and comfort, mend broken hearts. In Jesus Christ’s name Amen 🙏🏾

(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
Song; Just A Closer Walk With Thee
Our Father and Our God Thank You for walking with us. This morning I am asking You to please keep Your mighty hand on us. So many times we come to You feeling overwhelmed and unsure of ourselves. Lord we try to walk by faith,however sometimes we see the problems as massive and so we fret. Lord help us to really walk by faith. Give us a better understanding of how to walk by faith when life is beating us down. We need You. In Jesus Christ’s name Amen 🙏🏾

God night family and friends. She lived a life of shame. This woman that stood at the well.
The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
For thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
Song; Your Grace and Mercy
Our Father and Our God I am not advocating divorce, however, as I read the words about the woman at the well. I see a few things. The first thing is she had five husbands and was considered loose by all standards. Then I saw that she was an outcast because of her lifestyle.
Lord some people are having difficulty with the struggles in their marriage and the abuse and lack of respect. Yet they stay because of the stigma that is associated with leaving. Lord help them to not be afraid. Help them to get past the shame. Lord tonight I am praying for such situations. Lord move on their behalf. In Jesus Christ’s name Amen 🙏🏾

Song; Never Would Have Made It
Our Father and Our God if ever a song was true. The words of this song is. As I lay in icu with a blood sugar so high that it couldn’t be read. I know that it was You who kept me. Because without You I never would have made. I am certain that I am not the only one who can testify to the fact. That without You we would not have made it this far. This morning we come humbly before You in humble submission. We Thank You for always being mindful of us. Lord our request this morning. Whatever we are in need of. Lord, please do it for us. In Jesus Christ’s name Amen 🙏🏾

For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
Song; Precious Lord ( take my hand)
Our Father and Our God tonight I am praying for the poor. Not just financially, but also poor in spirit. Years ago I shared a hospital room with a fellow veteran who was homeless. There aren’t many days that I don’t think about him. The nurse gave us our instructions and discharge paperwork. I wonder how he would keep his insulin and other medications. As often as I think of him. I pray for him.
Tonight lord, I am bringing to You the poor, again not just monetary, but also in spirit. Lord, I know that You supply our needs according to Your riches and glory. Tonight I am asking You to bless down spirits and those who are dealing with depression and anxiety. In Jesus Christ’s name Amen 🙏🏾

I will never leave you, nor will I forsake you
Song; Pass Me Not O Gentle Savior
Our Father and Our God You said in Your word “ I will never leave you nor forsake you “ and Lord we believe that. Yet when we allow our feelings and emotions to take over. That is what we feel. Lord help us to understand it better. This morning I bring those who are feeling overwhelmed. Sick in their bodies, unsure and uncertain about what tomorrow will bring. Lord calm them down. Lord, we need You. In Jesus Christ’s name Amen 🙏🏾

THEY MAY NOT UNDERSTAND
Wrestling with the thoughts of others during one of the most difficult times. The death of a loved one placed in hospice. So many years ago my mother lay in the back bedroom of my home. The nurse on the day that she passed said to me “ I don’t think she will make it through the night “ and she didn’t.
I went into the room and talked with her, tried to assure her that I would do my best to help my siblings, and then said to her “You can go now, I know you are tired “ I left the room, and when I returned. She was gone. I wasn’t sad, I wasn’t consumed by emotions. I Thanked God for taking her. There was no quality of life left.
Here is where it gets interesting because I wasn’t hurt, but a part of me felt guilty for feeling that way. As time went on I was able to process my emotions. . .
To whom it may concern. It is not wrong for you to be okay with the passing of your loved one. Your love isn’t any less because. People may believe a thing, but what matters is what you know. Be encouraged and grieve and mourn however you see fit. Blessings 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
He saith unto them, But who say ye that I am?
Song; A Change Has Come Over Me
Our Father and Our God the time has come when people are not seemingly sure of themselves. People don’t seem to know who they are. People in Your day thought that You were everyone else, but who You are. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To whom it may concern. People want to address your past and call you by the name that you used to answer. However, you are a new creature in Christ. You’re no longer the drunk, the whore, the addict. A man may call you whatever. But God calls you His child. Lord Thank You. In Jesus Christ’s name Amen 🙏🏾

Lord some are feeling overwhelmed with life’s challenges and they need to hear Your voice so that they can stand. Speak Lord in Jesus Christ’s name Amen 🙏🏾

Song; Pray For Me
Our Father and Our God I come tonight asking for Your healing touch. Tonight I am not feeling well. I tried to move about as if I was okay, but I am still not feeling well. The chronic back pain has me feeling drained so I’m going to head to bed, but before I do.
Let me pray with you and for you. I am certain that I am not alone. So tonight I am praying for all of the things that are concerning you. Lord touch, heal, and comfort. In Jesus Christ’s name Amen 🙏🏾
