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
“Adapt and overcome.” This is part of a marine motto but it’s SO good for all of us to try and implement it in our daily lives. I’m going to include a future quote as well, “You’re either flying into a storm, you’re in a storm, or you’re flying out of a storm.” How beneficial would it be to think of life this way and to be diligent in our preparation? If you’re out, then build physical and mental strength and endurance, if you’re in it, just keep fighting. Be ready at a moment’s notice to adapt and overcome.

Evening Prayer
Set an alarm for this evening so you remember to end your day with God.
Lord, what could I possibly offer You to take away my sin? Nothing! Jesus is the only one who could make a way for me. He is the one that came to do Your will. He is the one the scriptures speak of. You have made me holy through the sacrifice of Jesus once and for all! Thank you, God, for bringing me home! Amen.
Pray that God would work in our world! There are some many things in our world that we can pray for—pick a couple and get after it:
