Our Father as your servant Hannah prayed, saying that her heart was joyful, we thank you for the word that says the Joy of the Lord is my strength. My strength is heightened, my voice is lifted up to you for your marvelous works in my life. Against my enemies my mouth will confess your goodness, because of your bountiful deliverance. Thank you. No one exists without you, no one is holy like you, there is no comparison to you, no strength is equal to you, no rock is stronger than you. You make my enemies to shut up, no more taunts in the mind or from their mouths. You Lord are all knowing. You dear Lord are the avenger, it’s you I seek for vindication.

In Jesus Name

Amen

Our Father, our guide, guardian, and champion. As our children participate in life, please allow your holy spirit to keep them on the correct course. Dear lord even when they are asleep, I pray for the activation of memories of your loving care for them during the years of their lives. I pray for our children to know you intimately. May they know it’s your presence that orders their mind. May they forever desire and acknowledge a strong unction for you in their lives forever. Keep dear lord the channels of their heart open to your love and divine care, and closed to the pride of life, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of their eyes. May they always realize the hand of the enemy and say no to his tactics, for the word says resist the devil and he will flee. Keep them faithful to you, direct their maneuvering in this dispensation. Help them to make friends, and to be a friend. For the word says he who wants friends must show himself friendly. In the words of the book of Daniel they will be ten times smarter, than their counter parts. Thank you father for keeping our children safe in school, at the bus stops, in our neighborhood, at home, when they work, and even at church. Thank you for allowing the eyes of your holy spirit to watch over our children. In the name of Jesus who rules forever. AMEN!!!

Selah

Our Father, what a privilege to be summoned by You. We cannot refuse the call. For we know You are the way, the truth, and the light. We praise You for selecting us. We are grateful to be salt, and light. Thank you lord for teaching us how to allow you to lead us in the dance. May our emotions never over whelm us to turn away from you, your touch, your wisdom or voice. Thank you for the leadership of the Holy Spirit. He’s the
