A Prayer A Day for Lent - Palm Sunday
A Prayer for Palm Sunday
Heavenly Father, Bless your Holy name! You are Yahweh, the one true and living God. We honor you today and forevermore! Thank you for bringing us through Lent and into Holy Week. Lord, as we celebrate Palm Sunday, we are reminded that even though the crowd cheered that day, Jesus knew the cross awaited him. He could have turned around, but yet he moved forward toward his destiny. He fulfilled your will for his life by becoming human and sufferin...g for us. We thank you for giving us your one and only son (John 3:16), and we thank Jesus for his obedience.
We ask for forgiveness of our sins, Father. Give us more character, courage and humility so that our lives might also bear witness to you. Please, Lord, guide our minds with your truth. Strengthen our lives by your Word and with the examples of Jesus. Help us follow the events of Passion (Holy) Week that others might gain greater insight and deeper understanding and appreciation for his sufferings, death, burial, and resurrection. Jesus died so that we will no longer be separated from you. Pour out your resources for ministry, to meet needs and lead people to Christ. Help us to draw closer to you and walk by the Spirit that we might not yield to the desires of the flesh. Save souls, we pray In Jesus name, Amen!

Watch As Well As Pray!
By: Min. Angela Lee Price
"Then Jesus brought them to an olive grove called Gethsemane, and he said, "Sit here while I go on ahead to pray. He took Peter and Zebedee's two sons, James and John, and he began to be filled with anguish and deep distress. He told them, 'My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and watch with me.' He went on a little further and fell down on the ground praying, 'My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet, I want your will not mine.' Then, he returned to the disciples and found them asleep" Matthew 26:36-40 (NIV).
It is Spring, the days are longer, and the Resurrection holiday is upon us! Don't sleep on your assignment! Stay woke! In Matthew 28:19-20, the disciples were told to "go ye therefore" and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. However, as the gospel is watered down, Jesus is reinvented to appeal to a materialistic society, and Christianity is marginalized even further on the world stage, too many disciples are asleep on the job!
A big part of our assignment as people of faith in sharing the Good News is to watch as well as pray. In Matt. 26:38, Jesus told the disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane, “Stay here and keep watch with me.” But, after rebuking them in verses 40-43, He prayed alone, and returned to them a third time and said, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed in the hands of sinners. Rise, let us go! Here comes my betrayer." My Bible tells me the garden was the place of Jesus' agonizing prayer, Judas' brutal betrayal, and Christ's wrongful arrest. These were the events that preceded His crucifixion on the Cross. However, when Jesus needed His disciples most, they didn't have His back. They were asleep on their J.O.B. Jesus needs His church to "have His back," be alert and on the job. Too many religions are "out-witnessing the witnesses!" And, as a result the church is in decline and losing ground.
What makes matters worse is this wasn't the only time Jesus told the disciples to be on guard. In Luke 12:1 (NIV) He said, "Be on guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy." In Mark 13:35, “…keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back….do not let him find you sleeping.” He told the brothers in Luke 21:36, "be always on watch, and pray...." Another translations says, "Keep on the alert at all times...." But like too many Christians today, the brothers were asleep on the job. Yes, their bodies where there with Jesus, but their minds where way on the other side of the town. They were absent-minded, missing in action, asleep on the job.
.jpg)
Scripture says to be faithful over a few things, and He will make you ruler over many. Are you watching as well as persistently praying for protection against the attacks of the enemy? Are you faithful in Sunday school, ministry, and church attendance? Are you in the Word of God, equipping yourself daily and watching for opportunities to "go ye therefore," and witness the Good News that Jesus saves? Or, are you, like the disciples were in the Garden of Gethsemane, asleep on the J.O.B.?

A Prayer for Lent - April 6th
Heavenly Father, You are the One True and Living God, Holy and Sovereign in all Your ways. Great is Your Faithfulness. I know that the tiny sacrifices I
make this Lent can never serve as a real penance in my life. But help me, Lord, to make my whole life one of following your Son Jesus. I am filled with your love. Let your love shine out from within me and guide my life in this sacred journey toward the Resurrection joy you offer me. I continue to lift up those who do not yet know Your Son as Lord and Savior. Draw them, Father by your Holy Spirit to choose to pick up their cross and follow Jesus. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread
Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread, Matthew 6:11
This request is a "big ticket" request for provision, self direction and sufficiency. We all need subsistence in our lives, the ability to support ourselves at basic levels. "Bread," This is the first request in The Model Prayer, often called The Lord's Prayer. This is the central theme in this portion of the prayer. It has to do with our being and subsistence. Father give us what we need to nourish and sustain us.
"Our bread," refers to what belongs to us. It implies honesty and industry. We will work creatively in some way for sustenance, giving an honest day's work for an honest day's pay.
"Our daily bread," is based on the economic systems of the times, the varied legal ways we acquire bread. It is the bread we need for the only time we have, today.
"Give us...our daily bread," directs our attention to our source, the Giver of all good and perfect gifts. It declares our dependence on God.
"Give us...our bread," teaches corporateness in prayer and implies development of compassion for those without means to attain daily sustenance.
"Give us this day our daily bread" tell us our request must be made daily. It forces us to daily communion with God. We thank you Jehovah Jireh, our awesome Provider for daily bread, and for You Son Jesus, the Bread of Life. Glory to Your name. Amen.

Black History: Haste Has No Blessing
By: Rev. Angela Lee Price
Proverbs 2: 1-7 (V1) “My child, listen to me and treasure my instruction. (V2) Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding. ( V3) Cry out for insight and understanding.
(V4) Search for them as you would for lost money or hidden treasure. (V5) Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and you will gain knowledge of God. (V6) For the Lord grants wisdom! From his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
(V7) He grants a treasure of good sense to the godly.” (NLT)
Our society has become conditioned to want things quick, fast, and in a hurry. We give alittle and expect to receive a lot. However, an African proverb says,“Haste has no blessing.” Proverbs chapter 2 makes it clear that the“quick-fast-and-in-a-hurry” and the “give-a-little-receive-a lot” philosophies of life are not the ways of God.
Some things, such as gaining wisdom, knowledge, and understanding require considerable time, trust, prayer, and effort. In the opening verses of Proverbs chapter 2, we learn to “listen,” “treasure,” “tune,” “concentrate,” “cry out,” and “search,” for insight and understanding (vs. 1-4). We are to apply serious attention and devotion to the task. We are to give our all to knowing who God is. The Bible says when you do this, “then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and you will gain knowledge of God. (V5)”
Are you giving more of yourself to the God who has given His all for you? Listen and treasure divine instruction. Tune your ears to wisdom. Concentrate on God’s Word. Cry out continually in prayer. Search the scriptures daily. The Lord grants knowledge, wisdom and understanding (V 6-7) to those who diligently search for it, and that is a treasure of good sense (V 7), a treasure worth seeking.
Remember, it is not Mohammad, Buddha, Confucius, nor New Age that saves. Jesus saves!

Make Your Praise Glorious!
By: Min. Angela Lee Price
"Shout with joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious! Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you. All the earth bows down to you. They sing praise to you. They sing praise to your name. Selah. Come and see what God has done, how awesome his works in man's behalf!" Psalm 66:1-5.
To make our praise glorious we should 1) "Shout with joy to God (v1); 2) Sing the glory of his name (v2); 3) Say to Him (in prayer) (v3); and 4) Come and see what He has done (v5)!
This week, make your praise glorious! Shout, sing, say, and invite the unchurched and dechurched to come and see our awesome God! He is worthy to be praised!
It is not Mohammad, Buddha, Confucius, nor New Age that saves. Jesus saves.
Gospel artist Martha Munizzi has a song entitled, "Glorious." I use to play it often when I was on the radio in the mornings. It is the kind of song that helps you get to work on time and in a joyous mood! When you hear this upbeat song, you can't help but go to work praising God because a reoccuring line in the song states, "I was created to make Your praise glorious!" The song reminds us that our top priority on the job, at lunch, and throughout the day is to put God first and give Him glorious praise in thought and in deed.
Psalm 66 is a great foundational and complementary text to Martha Munizzi's song, "Glorious." The psalmist reminds us we are here to give God glorious praise! When we think about how awesome God is, we should become thankful for His goodness towards us. He's the uncaused Cause who causes everything to exist; He's the God who causes our solar systerm, the galaxies, and the universe to hang in the heavens; He's the God who delivered the Israelites from Egyptian bondage and into the Promise Land; and He's the God who was so mindful of tiny, insignificant humanity that He gave His only Son to die for our sins! When we think about all this, how awesome (terrible) is our God, we should want to make our praise glorious!
To make our praise glorious we should 1) "Shout with joy to God (v1); 2) Sing the glory of his name (v2); 3) Say to Him (in prayer) (v3); and 4) Come and see what He has done (v5)!
This week, make your praise glorious! Shout, sing, say, and invite the unchurched and dechurched to come and see our awesome God! He is worthy to be praised!
It is not Mohammad, Buddha, Confucius, nor New Age that saves. Jesus saves.
