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
“Everyday in every way, I’m getting better and better.” This is a cute one, isn’t it? Easy to remember. Covers a lot of bases. A little chicken soup for the soul. An interview I watched had this big ol’ dude and he said he uses a mantra everyday; when he wakes up, goes to bed, and in every challenging situation throughout the day. It keeps him focused, driven, and in control of every decision. Could this be your phrase? Do you already have one? Imagine saying this in the middle of a tough workout. Saying this when you get a rough assignment at work. When your kids (or parents) are challenging you. It’s just a great reminder. Get after it this week! Everyday we’re trying to get better and better.

Day 29-34 of your goals
Keep going on your goals. We have less than two weeks left!
☑️ Emotional, Mental, Physical Goals - After defining your why and trusting that you can accomplish your goals with God’s help, and creating some milestones, make sure you have people on the journey with you. No, you don’t need to tell the world about what you are doing but having a couple people with you on the journey will help you finish strong! Who can join you on these final few days?
Evening Prayer
Set an alarm for this evening so you remember to end your day with God.
Lord, Your word is incredible. When I see the way You have woven it together through centuries of time, I am in awe. May Your word be my guide and Your presence be my peace. Deepen my faith in You and Your word! Amen.
Pray that God would work in the lives of your neighbors! What do they need? Pray specifically. Pray for each by name. Make a list if you haven’t already.
