Heavenly Father, I am so excited to dedicate this time to you today. I pray that the eyes of my heart will be open as I spend time in your word and I ask for total focus while I read. May I be filled with the didactic spirit that allows me to immerse myself in the word, and discover those hidden messages that will be a blessing to me by revealing who you are and your calling for me.  You said in your word that I shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God, let this word be food to my soul and victual for my spirit. As I go through my day, I pray that this word shall not depart from my mouth, instead, I will meditate on it day and night so that I may be careful to do what I have read for then I will be prosperous and successful.  Thank you, Father, for access to this wonderful word that is a guide for my life.   In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

The Lord’s prayer When you try to create an index of what Jesus was ultimately saying when He taught us to pray, you would get something along the lines of this: 1. Worshiping the Father 2. God’s kingdom 3. God’s will/guidance 4. Our daily needs 5. Forgiveness/relationships 6. Spiritual warfare Over the few lines that this took to say, Jesus had covered almost everything that a human could pray from a high level. What better prayer to pray, other than the one that came from the Lord? Devotional reference: Luke 11:2-4 Matthew 6:9-13 Meditate/read over John 17. Paraphrased: Jesus is saying that to all those that love Him and know that He was sent by God and is of God, they shall also be blessed and filled with God’s spirit just as He was. Do you believe in your heart that this is true? “2/3 of my journey through the plan, “Teach Us to Pray”, by Rob White and Malcolm Down Publishing.” - Bible App

Our mission here on earth is to reach out with genuine kindness and care to all people, young and old, white and black, poor and rich - welcoming them warmly into our community of faith. Our message is that death does not have the last word. Hope is real. God is alive. For Christ has destroyed the powers of darkness and death and brought us into a new and immortal life with him. In our weekly worship and daily devotions, our Lord fills us anew with the joy and peace and purpose which can be found nowhere else. - An excerpt from " The Saving Passion", Inspiration from Henri J.M. Nouwen Be moved to share the great news that hope is real and God is alive!
