Friday Scripture:
And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:17 (ESV)
Friday Inspiration:
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! Hallelujah! We serve an amazing God who is faithful and I encourage you to lose yourself in worship on today. Take time out to thank offer thanks to God for who he is in your life! I know last year was a very challenging year for us, our faith was tested, and we had to examine our priorities like never before. But the good news is; our God kept us and by the grace of God… we are still here and we are still standing. We have so much to be thankful for in spite what we’ve been through. God knows what we need and when we need it. And he shall supply every need according to his riches in glory. If he did it once, he will surely do it again. Give thanks to God for his unconditional love! Give thanks to God for the gift of life! Give thanks to God for his saving grace! Give thanks to God because he didn’t leave us in our mess, but instead he saved our souls! Give thanks to God for every spiritual gift that he has given you to use for the up building of his kingdom. Give thanks to God for never leaving nor forsaking you. Give thanks for the vaccine and the pandemic slowly coming to an end. Give thanks to God for the air that you and for a reasonable portion of health and strength! Give thanks to God for your spouses, children, family, friends, and every material gift that he has blessed you. Give thanks to God for keeping you in the midst of the storms. Remember that he said that all things are working together for our good. The key word is (ALL) things, that means the good, the bad, the times when it don’t seem like we can trace God, or when we don’t’ understand what HE’s doing. We can rest in the assurance that he is behind the scenes working on HIS master plan. On today I challenge you not to worry about tomorrow, next week, or two weeks from now. You can keep your trust in God! We serve an ENCORE God, he blesses us over, and over, and over again. Great is his faithfulness! Remember that we don’t work for men, but everything we do, is unto our father and we should strive to do things in excellence unto him. Amen! I will bless the Lord at all times and his praise shall continuously be in my mouth! Give God thanks for another day, another opportunity to spread the love! We owe him our best praise!! Amen!
Friday Prayer:
Spirit of the living God we come as humbly as we know how to come, giving you all thanks, honor, and the praise that is rightfully due unto you! We could search high and low, and still wouldn’t find one greater than you. Thank you God for blessing us to see another day that is filled with brand new mercies. Thank you for last night lying down and this morning early morning. Lord thank you that when we woke up this morning, we were clothes in and in our right minds. We thank you for a reasonable portion of health and strength! Thank you for food on our tables, clothes on our back, and shelter over our heads.

Thank you for making a way out no way! Thank you for being Jehovah Jireh, our provider. Please forgive us for falling short of your glory! All that we are and all that we shall be is by your grace and mercy. We love you Lord! Thank you Father that we believe by faith that better days are coming. Take us, make us, and mold us into that which is pleasing in your sight. We pray for your favor to be with us every place our feed shall tread upon today. Bless our homes, fill them with your presence and anointing that flows from room to room. We come against anything that is not like you. Bless us individually as well as collectively as a whole.
