I want you to take a few moments and think about something how do you start your day what's your routine what's the first thing you do each morning saints of God our answer to these questions they really should be related to spending time with God now I don't know about you but I'm really trying and I'm working to discipline myself and get my priorities in check so that I begin my day on my knees I want that to become my habit I want it to become a part of my routine so that when I wake
up I put God first so in the morning give me Jesus before I plan my day before I check my phone give me Jesus before I start thinking about things and checking emails Give Me Jesus I encourage you Saints to start your day with a simple prayer a prayer of thanks a prayer of Praise a prayer to commit the day into the Lord's hands it doesn't have to be complicated it doesn't have to be extravagant but one thing it should be is sincere acknowledge God every morning before your attention becomes divided and you have to
focus on work your schedule the kids or anything else before you get going for the day acknowledge God praise God thank him adore him love him and I'd like to share just a few reasons why you should be seeking the Lord each morning the second verse of Psalms 18 says the Lord is my rock and my Fortress and my deliverer my God my strength in whom I will trust my shield and the Horn of my salvation my stronghold I love that my God God Is My Rock This is to say that he is my steady
ground there is no instability there is no wavering with Jesus he's the same yesterday today and forever he is unchanging he is solid and consistent he can't be moved or swayed and so my trust is in him because I as a woman I can change because I as a human I can change but he is unchanging as a human I can be shaken but God is unshakable and so I need to seek my rock every morning the psalm goes further to say my Fortress this means he is my unfailing spiritual support he's the one I
confide in he's a shelter when the storms of life come a safe place when the devil attacks God he is my shelter he is my deliverer he is the one who is able to completely remove me from a dark place he's my deliverer the one who can snatch me out of the devil's hands he is my deliverer the one who can pull me out of a situation that's painful and overwhelming God he is my deliverer you see there are so many reasons why you should be seeking God first in the morning before anything else and
so make it a point that perhaps you didn't do that today perhaps you didn't do it yesterday but make up in your mind that from tomorrow morning moving forward you will put God first on your list make him top priority in your day and let everything else come after that because once you've spent time with God you have stepped into everything you need to face the day King Jesus your word describes you as wonderful counselor Mighty God Everlasting father Prince of Peace and so I praise you oh Lord because you are my strength I declare
that you oh God you are my rock my Fortress my deliver deliverer you are the one in whom I take refuge you are my shield and the Horn of my salvation when I feel a heavy weight bringing me down you are my rescue and you lift me up when I feel burdened or overwhelmed God I'm grateful that I can cast my burdens on you you offer me rest and freedom in your arms Lord I know that whenever I'm tired when I'm exhausted I know that I can wait on you because you will renew my strength
when I find myself incapable of moving forward I trust you to part the Red Sea in front of me I trust you to bring down the walls of Jericho that surround me I trust you to speak the words peace be still to any storm that troubles me and so God for those reasons I have no problem praising you Lord if I find myself worried about the future and how things will work out I'm going to hold on to your word which tells me to be anxious for nothing and so I will be obedient and be
anxious about nothing I have no cause for fear no cause for stress or unrest because you Lord Jesus you are my rock you're my refuge and my stronghold father I pray for everyone under the sound of my voice I pray for peace and direction in our lives I pray that you give us the strength to stand strong and unwavering in our faith despite any challenges or trials that we might face May the Holy Spirit help us to walk by faith and not by sight help us to walk in the authority that you have given us
in your word help us to walk in the freedom that you have given us God we look to you and we continue to trust TR you you're a mighty God who moves mountains a God who breaks down every barrier and Lord we have confidence that regardless of the things that are happening around us regardless of the things that are going on in this world you are still in control you are still on your throne and you are still a good God who will never leave us nor forsake us and at this time I pray for
all those who are in a hard place place though we may not understand everything going on I pray that even in the middle of these present uncertain times you're still a God who makes a way when there seems to be no way your word says a thousand may fall at your side and 10,000 at your right hand but it shall not come near you we believe this God we believe that nothing no evil no Darkness shall come near us as your children I praise your holy name and say that you are the king of kings
you are the Lord of lords you are the alpha and omega and all of our cares and worries we cast unto you today I Surrender it all to you because you are a sovereign God who neither sleeps nor Slumbers I pray Lord that in every situation I face may I always have confidence from the knowledge that you're in control your God God above all you're the God who is above every principality above every ruler you are the one who sits high on the throne Lord Jesus with all power and all might so God right now
I thank you for your mercy I thank you for your grace and Lord I ask you to deliver me from all of my struggles deliver me from every stronghold from everything that seeks to stop my spiritual growth deliver me emotionally physically spiritually from all of the enemy's attacks you are a sovereign God who has assigned Heavenly angels to protect and have charge over our lives you are a God who is faithful to deliver those who trust you you're the only one who can calm my heart protect my peace of mind Jesus protect the peace within
my soul Lord thank you for hearing my prayer it's in Jesus name that I pray and give thanks amen may the Lord answer you in the day of trouble may the name of the god of Jacob defend you may he send you help from the sanctuary and strengthen you out of Zion may he remember all your offerings and accept your burnt sacrifice saah may he Grant you according to your heart's desire and fulfill all your purpose we will rejoice in your salvation and in the name of our God we will set up our banners may
the Lord fulfill all your petitions now I know that the Lord saves his anointed he will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand some trust in chariots and some in horses but we will remember the name of the Lord Our God they have bowed down and Fallen but we have risen and stand upright save Lord May the king answer us when we call the Lord is my rock and my Fortress and my deliverer my God my strength in whom I will trust my shield and the Horn of my
salvation my stronghold
