Scripture Focus…
Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. (7) And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
(Philippians 4:6–7 AMPC)
Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life, (7) then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Jesus Christ.
(Philippians 4:6–7 TPT)
Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
(Philippians 4:6–7 MSG)
You’ve gone into my future to prepare the way, and in kindness you follow behind me to spare me from the harm of my past. You have laid your hand on me!
(Psalms 139:5 TPT)
Come on, everyone! Let’s sing for joy to the Lord! Let’s shout our loudest praises to our God who saved us! (2) Everyone come meet his face with a thankful heart. Don’t hold back your praises; make him great by your shouts of joy! (3) For the Lord is the greatest of all, King-God over all other gods! (4) In one hand he holds the mysteries of the earth, and in the other he holds the highest mountain peaks. (5) He’s the owner of every ocean, the engineer and sculptor of earth itself! (6) Come and kneel before this Creator-God; come and bow before the mighty God, our majestic maker! (7) For we are those he cares for, and he is the God we worship. So drop everything else and listen to his voice!
(Psalms 95:1–7 TPT)
Go ahead—sing your new song to the Lord! Let everyone in every language sing him a new song. (2-3) Don’t stop! Keep on singing! Make his name famous! Tell everyone every day how wonderful he is. Give them the good news of our great Savior. Take the message of his glory and miracles to every nation. Tell them about all the amazing things he has done. (4) For the Lord’s greatness is beyond description, and he deserves all the praise that comes to him. He is our King-God, and it’s right to be in holy awe of him. (5) Other gods are absolutely worthless. For the Lord God is Creator-God, who spread the splendor of the skies! (6) Breathtaking brilliance and awe-inspiring majesty radiate from his shining presence. His stunning beauty overwhelms all who come before him. (7) Surrender to the Lord Yahweh, all you nations and peoples. Surrender to him all your pride and strength. (8) Confess that Yahweh alone deserves all the glory and honor. Bring an offering and come celebrate in his courts.
(Psalms 96:1–8 TPT)
Prayed…
We come before You and offer up thanksgiving and praise
Yes, we love and worship You, and we bow our hearts before You, Lord
Thank You that You have already gone out in front of us and prepared the way
Hallelujah, we are surrounded by Your love
You are so good, and You are the same today, as You were yesterday and will be forevermore
No, we are not defeated, but we are overcomers in, by, and through the blood
We have the power of the Holy Ghost, and we will declare that everything is working out right!
Things are being changed, and things are turning more and more for Your good, Lord
Calling for breakthroughs and revelations in these last days
We call those things that are not as though they were in Jesus’ name!
The Church is rising up and declaring that this is the way that it will be!
You are going out before us and You are preparing the way for us, Father
We are not defeated, but we are walking in victory
You are the King of all Kings and the Lord of all Lords
Glory be to God, we are children of the most high God!
Casting down every care and all anxieties in Jesus’ name
We welcome You, Holy Spirit, in this place today
Everything is turning out right, we thank You for it
The remainder of Morning Prayer was spent in praising and worshiping the Lord.
