Father God we come boldly before You this morning as we begin a new week.
Hedge us in with Your unending grace. Hedge us in with Your manifest protection. Hedge us in with Your all-encompassing love. Hedge us in with the depth of Your compassion.
As we walk through this week let us walk in Your ways. Keep us on the narrow path. Lead us to lead others to You with grace, love and compassion.
Father God, we come before You this first Sunday in Advent and we seek Your grace. Keep us focused ever on You this week and grant us Your peace. In a season wrought with excess and strife keep us in peace. In a time of superfluous materialism keep us in humility and keep us in Your peace.
Your peace You leave us. Your peace You give us. Your peace is not as the world gives. Let us not be troubled. Let us not
This week marks the beginning of the Advent season. Derived from the Latin word adventus which means coming, the next weeks are spent in anticipation of commemoration of the birth of the Messiah. As Christians we also wait for the second coming of Jesus Christ to earth. As we await Christmas and His second coming we have an opportunity especially in this Advent season to ‘start again’ as His mercies are new every morning.
Three Steps to Walk Lighter This Month:
The weeks before Christmas in our society can be wrought
Shabbat (Sabbath) means to stop work and to be refreshed. Sabbath creates a space to be given new life and energy. Shalom is God’s perfect peace. Shalom is the absence of agitation and discord.
“I go before you always…come follow Me and I will give you rest.”
Live in My Shalom.
Breathe in My Shalom.
Walk it all out in My Shalom.
My Shalom is all encompassing…it is all enveloping.
Father God we come to You today with repentant hearts as we begin the new week. Touch our lives with Your grace and heal every broken place.
Seal us with Your Holy Spirit and anoint us to hear and follow His lead each day. Be the Balm of Gilead to touch and heal each heart shattered by life trauma. Make every crooked way straight in each mind tormented by fear and anxiety.
Cleanse us with the blood of Jesus to arise fully restored
In Esther’s Warriors Ministry, we began in 2012 ‘praying the states’ for healing for our Nation. Queen Esther went before the king to intercede for her people. We go before the King to intercede for our Nation ‘for such a time as this’ (Esther 4:14). We pray for each state in the order of admission to the Union and will continue. Our Nation more than ever needs consistent, diligent prayer cover state by state.
On November 11 each year, we celebrate Veterans Day in the United States of America. This day is set aside to honor those who have served in our Armed Forces to keep our country free. This holiday has undergone several changes. In the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day in the eleventh month of 1918 a truce or armistice took place between the Allied nations and Germany. Armistice Day was originally established to honor World War I veterans. In May 1938 November 11 became a legal holiday.
Father God we come before You in agreement for the coming week. Thank You for Your grace. Thank You for Your mercy. Thank You for Your faithfulness.
Lead, direct and guide us this week to follow You in our daily walk. Let us be a light in a darkened world. Let us be salt to season situations in which You place us. Let us be salt to impede corruption in this time. Empower us to arise as mighty intercessors to stand in the

God Bless,
