We can be just like a beautiful tree



Picture a beautiful tree that gracefully reaches up for the sky, reaching higher and higher. The branches are spread out among other parts of the bush, giving shelter to all kinds of living arrangements. The tree is firmly planted by water and the mossy roots are spread out along the riverside. In times of heat and drought the emerald green leaves glisten in the sunshine as the tree continues to produces fruit. Our tree is blessed by God, because he is planted by the living water, where his hope never runs dry. 

Morning Prayer:

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for always being here with us. Thank you for always feeding us with your living water. Thank you for making every single day new to us. Thank you for continually guiding and directing us. Most of all, we thank you for your love, your mercy, grace and faithfulness.  We give you praise this morning and bow before you. We give you all of our heart. We ask that you be with us, remind us to think before we speak, to discern others carefully and not judge and to look around how we can bless them. Give us creative ideas how we can do this for your praise and glory.  
In your son we ask,
amen

Prayer for your concerns

Will you agree with me with this prayer?  

Heavenly Father,

We call you a good God, because you are all good and pure! We know you hear our prayers because you know all things. We know that each of your angels have assignments to help us while we are sojourning here on earth. We are so aware of where we are in this time table. Thank you Father for your insight, your never-ending love and truth. 

You have told us over and over “not to fear” for what we see coming upon your earth. You told us that if we dwell in you, we are in your shadow! Truly you keep us and continually speak to us. We thank you for your promises. We declare our love for you this day! 

We lift up these requests for you:  We ask that you would touch marriages this day! Open up the lines of communication and understanding and soften hearts to receive from one another. Heal their souls Father and give them the insight to come back to you as one in your Spirit and Truth.

We lift up those children whose mothers have been praying for them to awaken and return to the the God of their childhood. We all agree together that they would be shaken, waken and stirred up just like the prodigal son who “came to himself.” We thank you ahead of time in faith and we will all rejoice together!

We lift up those who are suffering with physical pains: Those with continual coughs, those with erratic back and knee pains, those with sore throats, those with insistent allergies, those with cancer, those with debilitating other diseases and eye problems, ear problems, aches in their limbs, auto-immune diseases, lung problems and those who have fallen and become weak. You oh Father know them all. You said if we have faith as a mustard seed we can say to that mountain “be ye removed!”  We choose to believe this, we will stand upon your word and we will follow this through by the faith that you have given to us standing upon your son’s name. 

We lift up those who are having problems in the work place. We ask that you would speak to the heart of the believer and reveal the solution to the problem. Show them what they are to do and help them follow through by faith. Help them forgive the rebuffs, the cliquish clans, the snubs, the whispers and the gossips. We ask Father that you would help them to rise above their hurts and offer peace and your love and allow those around them to see your son. Thank you Father.

Father, we ask that you would help those in need of financial means. We ask that you would give the wisdom in the areas of need. Help them to know where to cut back and declutter in their homes. To declutter their minds and even to develop a budget where needed. Give them the strength to let things go. 

We ask that you would open up your gate and give those who have been seeking the job of your choice. We ask that they would be shown with obedience comes rewards. We thank you for this. 

We than you for this day in Jesus we pray!

Amen
