Morning Watch

O' Lord we thank you for awaking our hearts to your love; for making us afresh and anew; for strength, forgiveness and receiving untold blessings according to your Word. It's true, your wisdom speaks a better word offering life and compassion, and giving provision for a living covenant of peace through Christ Jesus, our LORD.

With a high calling from above, we gladly choose to set aside our concerns; turning our attention to others and those places where your affections remain. We specifically pray for your church and your people worldwide. Grant them greater wisdom and discernment in this hour of history, we plead. It is clear that we need to know right from wrong and to discern truth from untruth.

So, at this very moment, we come together as one collective body of believers boldly asking for an immediate and keen awareness of your direction. We desire that all your children may not miss the mark, stumble, fall astray, or lie down bleeding. Give us Jesus!
