Morning Prayer
This week we are asking GOD for holy spirit power each morning.
Holy Spirit, You are with me today. You are my helper. Will and work in me today to fulfill Kingdom purposes. Fill me with power to overcome temptation and push back the darkness so the Father’s will is done in my life and those around me. Bring healing, freedom and victory to my soul by Your power in my life. I will see victories in my life, not because of my strength, but because of Your power at work within me.
—Adapted from john 16:7; Philippians 2:13; Acts 1:8

Today’s motivation
We have tried to ease many people into the kingdom but they have never been renewed within their own beings. The Apostle Paul told the Corinthians that their faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God! There is a difference. We must insist that conversion to Christ is a miraculous act of God by the Holy Spirit—it must be wrought in the Spirit. There must be an inward illumination!

Evening Prayer
Set an alarm for this evening so you remember to end your day with God. Today’s Psalm is a perfect way to pray scripture for you and someone else:
Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day and night long. Amen.
Ask God to put someone on your heart. Pray for the person that comes to mind:
Show [name] your ways, Lord, teach [name] your paths. Guide [name] in your truth and teach [name], for you are God [their] Savior, and [name] hope is in you all day and night long. Amen.
