Seasoned Oil Prayer: Hold On To God

Some mornings you do not need a long lecture. You need a real prayer that meets you where you are and helps you stand up again. We gather for Morning Prayer with Elder JC Settles and press into a simple, stubborn kind of faith: God is good, prayer changes things, and you can make the journey.

We pray with gratitude for mercy and a clear mind, then move into the fight that many people do not talk about out loud. When life feels dark and the enemy speaks defeat, we choose Scripture, testimony, and endurance. We lean on the promise that God is no respecter of persons, so what He did for the saints before us He can do for us right now. You will hear direct encouragement around salvation, staying saved, and depending on the Holy Ghost as comforter and strength, with God’s Word as the anchor that keeps us steady.

The prayer also turns toward everyday needs, because faith is not abstract. We ask God to cover our children, protect families, help us on the job, and guide us through challenges without losing focus. We close with a call to live set apart, put on the armor of God, walk the narrow way, and let our light shine in the workplace and the marketplace. After prayer, we share how to connect with Healing Word Ministry, including our daily devotional “Can You Carry the Weight?” and where to send prayer requests.

If you were encouraged, subscribe so you do not miss tomorrow, share this with someone who needs strength, and leave a review that helps more people find Morning Prayer.

God is good and we have to keep on keeping on and keep praying and keep looking to the Lord for He knows all things and prayer changes things in the name of Jesus. So we're going before the Lord and you look to the Lord and we look to the Lord in Jesus' name in prayer. Lord, we thank you and we praise you for your goodness and your mercy to this morning. Thank you for waking us up and closing our right mind with a mind to go farther in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. And amen. We thank you right now. We always pray and be concerned about one another. And in love when we get together to pray. Amen. And praise God. And He's a God that believing helping one another as He taught his disciples to be concerned about one another and what we're going through. And another time we get in our let us get in our own way of life and forget about others. But let us pray and keep looking to Jesus to help each one of us as we're going through in the name of Jesus. Oh God, we know you're able right now this morning to do all things but fail. And we believe today that through our prayers and supplication and looking unto you, you would lead and guide us in the right path. In the mighty name of Jesus. Oh, give us strength to hold on to your unchanging word according to unchanging hand according to your word. We believe that we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us. Oh God, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. And we we walk by faith and not by sight. Thank you, Jesus. We have to keep on believing. As the old patriots, praise God, they walked with God. Prayers and supplication they made unto the Lord. And God kept them and led them through ups and down and changes of this journey. Praise God. And came out with great testimonies. Thank you, Jesus. And we thank the Lord. We look to them. Amen. Jesus said, see that we could pass about so great a cloud of witnesses. We read their stories and their walk with God and it'll give us strength that God done it for one. For them, He'll do it for us. Praise God. He has no respect, person. In the mighty name of Jesus, we can make it. Hallelujah. Sometimes it seems so dark, praise God, it's impossible to make it. The devil will tell you in your mind, but you have rebuked that spirit. You can make it. They made it, praise God. Hallelujah. And then Paul picked it up and said, We can do all things through Christ to strengthen us. Ha! Shut up, my God. It's hard to read the Lord to get over those words and make them a part of you. Praise God. Oh, and I feel the Spirit when I quote those words in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. And I believe so much that God is able. If you want to be saved, you can stay saved. Thank you. You can make the journey. Lord, in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. Yes, sir. Hallelujah. God want us to be bold soldiers. And soldiers are working on the battlefield for the Lord. And our brothers and sisters helping one another in the mighty name of Jesus. Oh God, hallelujah. And God will work miracles in our life if we just believe and trust Him. My God, I praise you. They're presenting us today. Oh, yes, Lord. He said, Hallelujah. For your mighty hand. Yes, Lord. Some need one thing and some do another. But you ate for it. You specialize in things that seem impossible to man. God, let's keep on. Let's keep on trusting and depending on you. Yes, Lord, in Jesus' name. Hallelujah. We can't make the journey without you. Without your spirit down on the inside. Those of us are not saved, we need to find our way to the altar. Hallelujah. God is willing to save us if we want to be saved. Get saved. Hallelujah. But you can't make the journey. Thank you, Jesus. So everybody wants to go to heaven. It seems as though, but you can't make this journey without having God precious Holy Ghost the comfort that will give you the strength to hold on. Fight the battles. In the mighty name of Jesus.
