Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
The LORD executes righteousness
And justice for all who are oppressed.
He made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the children of Israel.
The LORD is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. 🕊️
Psalms 103:1-8

Good morning Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for my life!
Thank You for my sweet bride!
Thank You for my beautiful daughter!
All that I am and all that I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord.
I count all as loss for my Faith and Belief in You, my Savior, O Lord!
Fill me with Your Spirit Father, may I shine Your light in the darkness around me this day, in all I say and do, may I bring glory to Your Holy Name, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
🕊️ Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.
Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. 🕊️
Philippians 2:1-4

Good morning Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for my life!
Thank You for my sweet bride!
Thank You for my beautiful daughter!
All that I am and all I possess, they are but blessings from You O Lord!
Thank You!
When we were on our journey to Seattle, from Spokane, about half way, or two hours into our journey, we stopped at the Columbia River to stretch our legs and capture some of its beauty.
No matter how many times I travel past this sight, O Lord, I’m constantly amazed at the wonder of Your creation and how spectacular it must have been when first created, and still is today!
I pray Father You fill me with Your Spirit this day.
May your light shine in the day, above all the heavens and earthly beauty.
May all the people of this rock see Your amazing and glorious splendor!
May I shine Your light this day, in and through all I say and do, In Jesus’ name, Amen!
🕊️ Now this I say lest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words.
For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.
For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. 🕊️
Colossians 2:4-10

Good morning Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for my life!
Thank You for my sweet bride!
Thank You for my beautiful daughter!
All that I am and possess, they are because of Your rich blessings O Lord!
Thank You!
I pray Your Spirit fill me this day Father, as we travel to Seattle to do some work for an old friend.
I pray may we accomplish all that we set out to do.
Bless Selah and I with Your angels to keep watch over us as we travel.
May the time we share together on our journey be fruitful and in the Spirit of Your Love Father.
I lift up All my children and All my grandchildren before You this day Father, I pray you Fill them with Your Spirit O Lord, and may they sense the mighty power of Your Word flowing in and through them, in all they say and do, may they bring glory to Your Holy name this day.
I continue to keep my sweet bride, Amy, in Your care, at all times.
I thank You for her life and all that she does for our family.
May Your angels guard over her and keep her safe.
May Your Spirit fill her with all the love and comfort she needs to assist the families of those who have passed and who seek her services, may she be a blessing.
Father, I pray Your Spirit fill my brother Mike this day!
May your Word fill his mind and heart as he faces the challenges of his day, may he be a blessing and may his patience find the reward of the results he seeks.
Thank You O Lord for all that Your do for me and my loved ones, and I continue to pray without ceasing for the leaders of our Country and the leaders of this world, in their endeavors for Peace.
I lift up those who are sick and those who are suffering, may they be healed and help others who suffer likewise. I pray Your Spirit fill those ‘first responders’, who labor to help the people around them and keep them safe.
So many prayers fill my mind and my heart O Lord, I feel the weight of the burden of all these things.
I put these needs upon Your shoulders O Lord, since there’s no way I could carry and minister to them.
May I walk this day as Your child of the light and shine Your Holy Light, in the darkness around me, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
🕊️ For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.
And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight— if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister. 🕊️
Colossians 1:19-23

Good morning Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for my life!
Thank You for my sweet bride!
Thank You for my beautiful daughter!
All that we have and possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!
Thank You!
I lift up All my children before You Lord, may You bless them with Your Grace, Mercy, and Peace.
I pray each of them sense and know Your Spirit’s presence working in their lives.
May they each learn Your Word and follow Your Way, living a disciplined life of Faith.
May Your light shine bright in All my children and grandchildren, and may their lives be a beacon for others to follow, and lead back to You O Lord.
Father, I lift up the sick and suffering this day, I pray for their healing and comfort as they heal.
Lord, I pray for the families in the loss of their loved ones, may they find You in their process of grieving.
I Pray for All the lost who walk aimlessly in the darkness, may Your light shine bright upon a clear path for them to follow, which leads back to You O Lord.
I pray Lord You bless me this day, with Your Holy Spirit, to guide me in all I say and do, may I bring glory to Your Holy name, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
🕊️ Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.
“Judge not, and you shall not be judged.
Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned.
Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom.
For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”
And He spoke a parable to them: “Can the blind lead the blind?
Will they not both fall into the ditch?
A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher.
And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the plank in your own eye?
Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye?
Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother’s eye. 🕊️

Good morning Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for my life!
Thank You for my sweet bride!
Thank You for my beautiful daughter!
All that I am and all that I possess, they are but blessings from You O Lord!
Thank You!
Always Remembering Your Holy Word, is my hope, my prayer, my petition.
May I continue reading Your Word daily, hearing Your voice in my mind, echoing Your scripture and seeking every opportunity to apply Your Word of truth, wisdom and knowledge, in my life, through my actions, and with the words I speak to others, may Your Words I share be as sweet fruit in my mouth, and in the ears of those whom I share it.
Just sharing Your Word with my wife and our daughter yesterday, my spirit was lifted up as it was the first day I read it, so many years ago. Your Word is everything to me O Lord!
I pray for Your Spirit fill me and use me for this endeavor, that I might share Your Word, and may I demonstrate grace, mercy, and Love towards others, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
🕊️ This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.
If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. 🕊️
1 John 1:5-10

Good morning Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for my life!
Thank You for my sweet bride!
Thank You for my beautiful daughter!
Praise God for His Mercy and Grace towards all human kind, that in His Great mercy and His Great sacrifice, sent His only son to live amongst us, to know us and see us and interact with us, to laugh with us and cry with us, to see our suffering, and to die for us, in order to save us from the law of sin within us, that we might find a way back to Him, just by following His path to life!
What great pain God had to suffer, seeing His only son die upon that tree, even knowing it was but for a short while and He would be resurrected from the dead, there was that moment in time, God saw and felt the suffering each of us feel when we lose a loved one, and not only did He do it for our salvation to be possible, He created a plan and shares it with us, whereby upon His return to judge this world and its inhabitants, He will destroy “Death” itself, and it will be no more.
We will live with Him forever and never experience the evil ways of sin and never be touched by pain and destruction. We will live together in a place filled with pure Love!
Praise You Yahweh!
I pray O Lord, every day, I might think of my two sons we lost, and the painful memory I have that will never go away, and may I have just a glimpse of what You must have felt in watching the suffering and death of Your only son, Jesus Christ.
Bless me this day Lord, fill me with Your Spirit, may Your divine light shine in and through me into the darkness all around me, and through all I say and do, this day, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
🕊️ Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize?
Run in such a way that you may obtain it.
And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things.
Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown.
Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty.
Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air.
But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. 🕊️

Thank You!
I pray for Your Holy Spirit to fill me and use me for Your Glory this day!
I lift up my family and I lift up All my children and grandchildren, and I put them in Your hands Father.
May Your angels guard over them and keep them safe.
May they see and feel Your Spirit’s presence in their life and may they feel the confidence, in Faith, You are guiding them along their Way.
I pray My Faith and my continued prayers reach Your throne of Grace this day Father.
I lift up those who are suffering and I pray for their healing.
May Your Mercy and Grace be upon the hungry and the homeless and provide them rest, may they be fed and their body healed, may they find a place to call their home.
I lift up all those who have lost their loved ones; their children, a brother or sister, a husband or a wife, a friend or neighbor, may Your Spirit comfort those who mourn.
Comfort them with the memory of those now in Your care.
May they find and come to know the hope of their Salvation and everlasting life, through faith and believing in Jesus Christ.
Thank You Lord, for hearing me this day.
May I walk in the light, as Your child, and shine Your light in the darkness around me, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
🕊️ For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written:
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
Where is the wise?
Where is the scribe?
Where is the disputer of this age?
Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, & the weakness of God is stronger than men. 🕊️

All that I am and all I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!
Thank You!
I feel so blessed and sheltered by You Lord.
I have experienced Your grace many times in my life, and witnessed Your hand of protection over me.
You are always there with me and in me, working to mold me and shape me as Your child of light.
My worst days of misery and suffering, they are but a whisper before the loud cries for relief from the suffering of this age.
I see and hear of so much suffering and death.
The wise wealthy men of this world watch as men, women, and children are slaughtered.
What manner of man am I to see these things and not feel guilty, just asking for God to heal my simple cold or bless me this day along my easy going life filled with everything I could ever want or need.
I pray Father, may you relieve the suffering of this world, bring Peace to all peoples.
May Your righteous judgement be revealed and I pray You stay the execution of the innocent.
I pray O Lord, my children, my grandchildren, and all who come after them, see and hear from on High!
May they see Your Holy Word at work in the actions of righteous men before them.
May they continue my petition for relief for the poor, and those suffering around them.
May they act on opportunities of service and helping where their lives make a difference.
Use them for Your service O Lord!
May they discern their purpose amongst the lost and may their light shine amongst all people.
I share my words of Faith and Family here on my blog, may I be used as Your instrument of Hope, Your Love, Mercy, and Grace to all men who have scales over their eyes.
I lift up all these, my thoughts and look to You Father for all answers to my request.
Fill me with Your Spirit this day Father!
May I walk as Your child of the light and may I shine Your holy light, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
🕊️ Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty,
And before honor is humility.
He who gets wisdom loves his own soul;
He who keeps understanding will find good.
Listen to counsel and receive instruction,
That you may be wise in your latter days.
There are many plans in a man’s heart,
Nevertheless the LORD’s counsel—that will stand.
What is desired in a man is kindness,
And a poor man is better than a liar.
The fear of the LORD leads to life,
And he who has it will abide in satisfaction;
He will not be visited with evil. 🕊️

All that I am and possess I count as blessings from You Lord.
I pray my countenance may show my joy in life, when struggling through hard times, and when experiencing good times as well.
I pray Lord, may I walk Spirit filled and prepared for the challenges ahead of me today.
May I walk humbly before You O Lord, and may my faith increase as each moment passes.
I pray for Your wisdom in my speaking and knowledge where faced with difficult decisions.
Help my O Lord to live my life as an example my children want to follow.
May I walk in confidence, knowing I am Your child of the light and Your Spirit shines bright in and through me, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
🕊️ “Beware that you do not forget the LORD your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today,
lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them; and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold are multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; when your heart is lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
who led you through that great and terrible wilderness, in which were fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty land where there was no water; who brought water for you out of the flinty rock;
who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and that He might test you, to do you good in the end—
then you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’
“And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. 🕊️

Thank You!
I pray Father, bless our baby girl this day, while at her Summer camp.
May she find Your Spirit in and amongst the camp, in her rising and her resting, may Your Spirit touch her, that she may see You in and around her this day.
I pray for All my children and grandchildren Father, may they experience Your Spirit this day, in and around them. May they be Your children of the light this day.
Fill me with Your Spirit O Lord, may I shine Your light this day, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
🕊️ “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink?
When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You?
Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’
And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me. 🕊️

I pray Lord, Fill me with Your Spirit this day.
May my heart be pure and my mind clear.
Guide me along my path and plant my feet on solid ground.
May all my children be blessed this day O Lord!
May they see you in all life around them, and may they take notice of those in need.
Bless all my children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren with Your Holy Spirit Lord.
May they each find their way to You, and the heavenly gifts which You’ve blessed them with.
May they rest in You from their struggles, and may we all learn to humble ourselves before You Father!
Bless us this day O Lord, as Your children of the light, may we each have the opportunity to shine Your Holy light brightly, in all we say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
🕊️ I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
Against such there is no law.
And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. 🕊️
Galatians 5:16-26

Bless me with Your Spirit this day O Lord, fill my heart with Love for all mankind.
May I walk in the Spirit and be Your child of the light.
Grant me the wisdom and knowledge I must have to meet the challenges i will face today.
Prepare my heart and mind, putting on the whole armor of God to protect me.
May Your light shine bright in and through me today, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
🕊️ Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed.
Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. 🕊️
Galatians 3:21-25

May I walk by Faith and not by sight, to be Your child of the light, and share Your message of Hope, Love and justice.
May I shine Your light in the darkness around me, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
🕊️ And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake.
Be at peace among yourselves.
Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all.
See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Do not quench the Spirit.
Do not despise prophecies.
Test all things; hold fast what is good.
Abstain from every form of evil.
-Blessing and Admonition
Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.
Brethren, pray for us.
Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.
I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you, Amen. 🕊️
1 Thessalonians 5:12-28

Good morning Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for my life!
Thank You for my sweet bride!
Thank You for my beautiful daughter!
Thank You for Your Holy Word!
Our blessings in following our faith and the Way are without measure.
Thank You for hearing my prayers for my brother’s business and its increase.
I pray, fill me with Your Spirit this day O Lord, may I be Your child of the light.
May I be a vessel of righteousness in my daily walk, serving You O Lord.
Strengthen my mind and body to make the journey towards justice and truth.
May I share kindness towards the stranger, my neighbors, when i see their need.
Grant me the peace of Loving all people, and without prejudice!
As in all things, may I follow what Your Word has taught me, and may Your light shine bright, in all I say and do this day, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
🕊️ Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.
But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. 🕊️
Colossians 3:12-17

Thank You for Your Grace, Mercy and Peace.
Fill me with Your Holy Spirit O Lord, may I walk as Your child of light this day.
I lift up my children and grandchildren before You, may they sense and come to know Your Spirit and bring glory to Your Holy name.
May we all shine Your light in all we say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
🕊️ For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.
For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. 🕊️

I lift up my children and grandchildren before You Lord, may Your Spirit fill them and guide them along their daily path.
May each of them know or sense Your presence in their lives.
May Your Holy Spirit guide each of us, may we be sensitive to the needs of others, and may we learn to use the gifts You’ve blessed us with, to be a blessing to those around us.
I pray for each of us, may Your light shine bright in all we say and do today, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
🕊️ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. 🕊️

Even in my dreams, as I shared with my daughter, I tell the little ones how blessed we are to live in America, and be born free, unlike so many children born into a life of service and slavery, war, famine, and disease.
🕊️ Thank You Lord for my health and I hold up my loved ones and those who are suffering this day, I pray your Spirit of healing, comfort, and Your peace, rest upon them.
May My children and grandchildren, be filled with Your Holy Spirit, May they be blessed this day and may they bless others in kind. Teach them how to Love others around them, especially those less fortunate.
I pray Father, this day, you fill my mind with Your Spirit and may I see the light of this world, if for but a moment. I’m so tired of the darkness working at robbing my joy and stealing my compassion.
Bless me O Lord, that I might have the strength I need this day to fight the challenges that are to face me, may Your light shine in and through me, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
Blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity,

I lift up my children before You O Lord, please keep them safe.
I pray You fill them and anoint them with Your Spirit in a way they may receive your power and the full gifts you intended for them to use.
I pray my grandchildren may glory in Your presence beyond the Sunday experience.
Bless these children and may my loved ones be fruitful in their endeavors O Lord.
May they find You in the Sun and its warmth upon their face.
May they see and experience the beauty of shadows and the absence of light and what it may reveal, as created by the bright moon light.
There is so much for us to see in this world you’ve created but we are distracted from the natural beauty and focused on the worldly beauty created by man.
Help me to always keep my eyes on You O Lord.
May I use the filters You provide me along my path, following in the Way.

Thank You for my life.
I pray for my sweet bride while we are away from home, may Your angels keep her safe and comfort her in our absence.
As children of Your light, may we shine bright this day O Lord, and may we shine in and through all we say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
🕊️ Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do:
“Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,”
“I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”
Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you.
Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind. 🕊️
Philippians 3:12-16

Good morning Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for my life!
Thank You for my sweet bride!
Fill me with Your Spirit O Lord, that I might follow Your will.
Guide me in the Way, as Your child of the light.
Forgive me Father, for my failing You, because of my flesh.
Strengthen my mind and my spirit, to get up when I fall, to rely on Your Word to guide me.
Bless me as I put on my whole armor for my day’s journey.
Let Your Spirit O Lord, guide me through this darkness.
Help me to be another hand that reaches out to help others when they stumble.
Mature my mind with knowledge and wisdom to see You in each experience I recount and document.
May I recount them in a way my words may be as a flashlight in the dark, helping young minds in Christ, to be prepared for their own path and life journey, and their own new and wonderful experiences.
Bless my children, and my grandchildren this day O Lord, may they seek You early in the morning.
I pray, Your blessing over them as they rise and as they walk through their day.
Thank You for Your Love and forgiveness!
Thank You for Your healing touch!
May Your light in me shine bright this day O Lord, and may Your Spirit be reflected in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
🕊️ Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.
Yes, and if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me. 🕊️
Philippians 2:12-18

Good morning Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for my life!
Thank You for my sweet bride!
Thank You for my beautiful daughter!
We have so much in each other Lord!
Most of all, we have You in our lives.
Thank You!
Most mornings as I sit and pray, giving thanks, I feel guilty for all that we have.
And even though there are so many who look upon what we have and they cannot imagine living with so little, I praise You for the little we have, because it is more that we deserve.
So, aside from earthly possessions, Father, I feel rich with Your blessings; a wife who loves me for who I am and a beautiful daughter who loves me, most of the time, 🙂 and listens all to my stories.
I pray O Lord, may our lives be used to further Your light in this darkness around us.
May Your Spirit use our happy lives together, to stir up the flame of Love and Hope and Faith, in others and their family.
May our hearts burn with passion for those around us who are searching and can’t seem to find the Joy of their Salvation, knowing and believing on the name of Jesus Christ.
May Your Spirit daily bring me to my knees, each day, removing the scales from my eyes to see, really see.
May I cast off those things in my life which the world puts first ahead of You Lord.
Help me to walk as Your child of the light this day, O Lord.
May Your light in me shine bright, in all I say and do, In all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
🕊️ Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.
And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 🕊️
Philippians 2:5-11

Good morning Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for my life!
Thank You for my sweet bride!
Thank You for my beautiful daughter!
All that I am and all I possess are because of Your blessings in my life.
Thank You Lord!
I pray this and every day, O Lord, fill me with Your Spirit, may I be Your child of the light today, and may Your light shine in and through me in all I say and do, in the name of Jesus Christ, my Savior, Amen!
🕊️ I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace. For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.
And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. 🕊️
Philippians 1:3-11
To Live Is Christ
🕊️ For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell.
For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.
And being confident of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith, that your rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Jesus Christ by my coming to you again. 🕊️
Philippians 1:19-26

The images of Paul writing from his jail cell, to the followers of the Way and all believers, is an awesome example of God’s power and unending reach of His Word across time, continuing for us all to receive His grace, mercy and peace.
These writings or epistles left for me to read are forever a constant in my mind and as a continued study I’m committed to daily.
Father, God, I pray You fill me with Your Spirit this day, may I receive Your Word in my mind, heart, and soul daily.
May Your Spirit lead me this day to shine Your light of truth and love, in and through me, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
🕊️ Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them.
Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.
Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.
Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God.
And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality. 🕊️
Colossians 3:18-25
Marriage—Christ and the Church
🕊️ Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
Children and Parents
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”
And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.🕊️
Ephesians 5:22—6:4

Bless my “Family” this day, O Lord, that Your Holy Word might live and breathing within our hearts, our minds, and our spirit.
In reading this morning’s scripture, I see the Love and encouragement in it.
I also see how, in the darkness of our day and times, today, Your Word is twisted and righteous men have used Your Holy Word as a tool of submission, rather than a blessing and a plan of protection.
Fill me with Your Spirit this day, may the words I share, bring meaning and purpose to my “Family” and those who read it.
I pray Father, all Men might read and understand God’s encouragement and admonition towards a wife, and “Family”.
I pray women would see Your Love and protection in the Word.
I lift my hands heavenward, asking for Your wisdom and Spirit’s guidance in raising our children, our grandchildren, and great grandchildren, in the Way and bring glory to Your Holy name.
Help us All this day Father!
I would have You remove the scales from the eyes of all men, women, and children; so they might see and understand, honor and respect the “Family” and how Your Holy Word is meant to flow in and through them in a positive way, that their lives, together, might shine out in the darkness and be seen as a beacon of hope for those seeking the same, as a light of clear sight of its Loving result.
Bless me this day Father!
Fill me with Your Spirit, guide my way through the darkness around me.
Fill my mouth with Your Word, my hands typing, to share words with those I love and to the stranger reading this post.
Bless me this day O Lord, that I might shine Your light this day, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen! Hallelujah!
🕊️ If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.
But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all. 🕊️

I pray Lord, fill me with Your Spirit this day, that I might have the strength to fight my mind and my flesh and the evil nature within me.
Forgive me O Lord, where I have sinned against my neighbor, my friends and family.
May my heart be increased to include in my prayers, those who I have hated, those I have offended, and those I did not show kindness and Love.
May I continue to live as a child of the light, Loving all man and forgiving those who I feel have betrayed me, those who have offended and insulted me.
May Your Love rise within me each day and shine bright, in all I say and do.
Bless All my children this day O Lord!!
Bless my grandchildren; those I know and those I’ve never met Lord.
Bless my great grandchildren, may they be raised and grow knowing You and Your Word.
May Your Spirit rest upon them this day and guide them through their journey and may they each meet all that is before them as Your strong children of the light, with strength and filled with Your Love within them.
Fill my mouth with the words I need to share as I walk in Your Way and upon a world in darkness.
May I bring glory to Your Holy name this day, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
It’s been 15 years since I began posting my Morning Prayers, and sharing my thoughts. My hope is that if there is one person who reads my post and is encouraged and I can make a difference in his or her day, my hope, my goal, is accomplished. I pray you read this first post and God’s blessing go with you in your day. Blessings! 🕊️
My prayer for the day Thank you Lord for another day to be a friend, a brother, a son, a husband, a father, & grandfather. Keep us safe Lord as we travel this day. Bless me with the eyes to see the needs around me and to hear your voice leading me. Thank you for my Sweet Bride and our baby yet to come. Thank you Lord for my job and the ability to pay my bills. Thank you for the opportunities around me to educate myself and grow in knowledge. Help me to use what I learn to help my family, my friends and all those I meet. Lord, guide me with your Spirit, let your light in me lead those in darkness, to a way out of confusion. Increase my faith Lord and please forgive me when I doubt. Let my heart and conscience bear witness of my desire, to bring honor and glory to your name….in all that I do and say…..in all I do and say…..to bring honor and glory to your name.
Help these words to echo in my mind, in my spirit, and as I breathe the air you give. Help me to walk with your full armor encompassed around me, my family and all those in my life. I pray for mercy and comfort for all those who are hurting this day, the hungry, sick, the lonely, those who are in prison, those who are dying and those who are afraid. Thank you Jesus, for my life! Amen.
🕊️ Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.
For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve.
After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time. 🕊️
1 Corinthians 15:1-2
🕊️ For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;
giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.
He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers.
All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. 🕊️
Colossians 1:9-18

All that I am and possess, they are blessings from You O lord.
I pray this day You fill me with Your Holy Spirit, may I walk as Your child of the light and may that light shine bright, in all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
🕊️ Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 🕊️
1 Corinthians 13:4-13

For length of days and long life and peace they will add to you.
Let not mercy and truth forsake you;
Bind them around your neck,
Write them on the tablet of your heart,
And so find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths. 🕊️
