Father God, we come before You at the start of this fifth week of Lent with contrite hearts. Equip us to lay on the altar all that has gone before and leave it there.
Let us walk fully forward as You make all things new. As the new springs forth, let us perceive it!
Let us encourage ourselves daily in You that we may not get entangled in the things of our worldly circumstance. Though we have sowed in tears let us reap
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.

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.
Father God, as we begin this new month in the season of Lent, teach each of us to leave all behind that is not of You. Equip us to go forward as a new creation ever ready to hear Your voice and follow Your direction.
We thank You that You sent Your Son, Jesus Christ, to bring salvation to a lost and dying world. Cleanse our hearts of all worldly enticements and grant that we may put Jesus ever first.

Father God, as we begin this new week, we come before You with hopeful hearts. We know the plans You have for us are for hope and a future in You.
Let us have ears to hear what the Spirit of the Lord would tell us this week. Let us have eyes to see above the mundane. Give us spiritual eyes to see beyond the natural and into the depth of where You are leading us.

~Grace us to step away from a ‘crowd mentality’…To a ‘relationship journey.’
~ Form is easy. Substance requires mind renewal & cutting away every dead thing in your heart to be fully present in the present.
~ Lent is a season of reflection. Do not just ‘give up’ something.
