Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Showing us the Way, For we are nothing but dust without your Spirit! I Thank you Lord for renewing our Faith, For we were wondering Idolaters before the Truth of the Father was given unto us through the Son! I Thank you Lord that you are not like Men, For with every evil act you have called us to Bless and not repay evil for evil!

It is Surely Written, “When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.) Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?” Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.” He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.” “I have no husband,” she replied. Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.” “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.” “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:7-24

Prayer: I Pray Father that your Spirit is revealed to those who have had their eyes closed to the things of the Spirit, For the time has come where you only want True Worshipers to Proclaim Jesus’ Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Courage, For His Words give us Strength to face a New Day! I Thank the Lord for Life, For Many passed away without knowing the Lord of a Savior! I Thank the Lord for Overcoming, For we are not victims, we are the Victors!

It is Written, “When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it. Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples. So Judas came to the garden, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons. Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground. Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they said. Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.” This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.” John 18:1-9

Prayer: I Pray Father that you give us the Courage to become fully who you have called your Children to be in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for giving me strength, For we times of testing come about, our Father is faithful in seeing us through! I Thank the Lord for listening to my Prayers, For I have Faith that ever Word spoken is received to Our Father in Heaven! I Thank the Lord for Change, For in a moment, God can rearrange the Hearts of Men!

It is Written, “The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven. And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man. I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed– in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:47-58

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Give your Children an ear to Hear and a Mind to Understand the Deep Knowledge of your Word in Jesus Name, Amen

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Prayer, For He hears me cries through every trail! I Thank the Lord for Endurance through pain, For we know the cost of following Christ is to carry the Burden of the Cross! I Thank the Lord for Freedom of Choice, For God’s Love for His Children is greater than our Sin!

It is Written, “Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours: Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.” 2 Peter 1:1-9

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you remind your Children where you have saved us from and where we are called to be in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Purpose, For He has given all task that we shall complete in this Life! I Thank the Lord for Health, For when I was weak, His Spirit made me Strong! I Thank the Lord for New Blessings, For daily the Lord Hand is renewed upon my life!”

It is Written, “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God–this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will. For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully. Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.” Romans 12:1-10

Prayer: I Pray Lord that you give your Children the Heart to Love what is good and Hate what is evil in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Understanding, For we go through trails, but wisdom is gain through the eyes of our Father! I Thank the Lord for Leadership, For we would be lost if we did not have a His Promise! I Thank the Lord for Resilience, For we arm ourselves with the armor of the Spirit!

It is Written, “Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To God’s holy people in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will– to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment–to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.” Ephesians 1:1-12

Prayer: I Pray Father that you Grant us full access of your Spirit, So we may fully come to understand the Price of Salvation in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for the Precious life He has given unto us, For many did not make it pass the Womb! I Thank the Lord for the Ability to Bless the poor, For misfortune is always one decision away from us! I Thank the Lord for His Loving Grace, For we are all sinners deserving of Death!

It is Written, “Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them–yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. Whether, then, it is I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.” 1 Corinthians 15:1-11

Prayer: I Pray Father that you continually Bring Forth those who are called to serve and understand the Grace that has been given unto them by the Cross in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Silence, For within the Wind, is a Thundering Spirit! I Thank the Lord for Deep Contemplation, For those who have hears shall Hear! I Thank the Lord for Parables, For the Ways of the Lord are not the ways of Men!

It is Written, “After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus. Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters–one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.” When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus. As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.” Matthew 17:1-9

Prayer: I Pray Father that we as your Children are Blessed with the Spiritual insight to understand the Words you Speak in this Hour to Come in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Hope, For this world may seem dead, but Christ Shall return to Bring Everlasting Life! I Thank the Lord For Opportunities, For The Father has renewing Love for His Children Daily! I Thank the Lord for Perseverance, For the days may look the same, but the Father has something New for His Children Daily!

It is Written, “The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem: “Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.” What do people gain from all their labors at which they toil under the sun? Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever. The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises. The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes, ever returning on its course. All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again. All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing. What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which one can say, “Look! This is something new”? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time. No one remembers the former generations, and even those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them.” Ecclesiastes 1:1-11

Prayer: I Pray Father that we realize that this Life Brings Nothing But Death, Only in You Shall we Find Eternal Life in Jesus Name, Amen!

Thanksgiving: I Thank the Lord for Healing, For only He Can heal wounds seen and unseen! I Thank the Lord for Deep Groans, For there is a Cry within us to seek the deeper Love of the Father! I Thank the Lord for Compassion, For we Shall serve the poor who are our Brothers and Sisters in Christ!

It is Written, “”I loathe my very life; therefore I will give free rein to my complaint and speak out in the bitterness of my soul. I say to God: Do not declare me guilty, but tell me what charges you have against me. Does it please you to oppress me, to spurn the work of your hands, while you smile on the plans of the wicked? Do you have eyes of flesh? Do you see as a mortal sees? Are your days like those of a mortal or your years like those of a strong man, that you must search out my faults and probe after my sin– though you know that I am not guilty and that no one can rescue me from your hand? “Your hands shaped me and made me. Will you now turn and destroy me? Remember that you molded me like clay. Will you now turn me to dust again? Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese, clothe me with skin and flesh and knit me together with bones and sinews? 12 You gave me life and showed me kindness, and in your providence watched over my spirit.” Job 10:1-12

Prayer: I Pray Father that you give us the Strength to Endure these times in Jesus Name, Amen!
