you want more of HIM!

PRAYER FOR 21 DAYS

Pray for our city, state and nation. Pray for outreach ministries and mission efforts. Pray for God’s blessings to fall upon families. Pray for your specific needs and believe God for answered prayers. Pray for New Prospect Missionary Baptist Church and the ministry that will take place in 2019.
These are ONLY suggestions and examples. Please consult your health professional when making significant changes to your diet.
It takes prayer and discipline to: Exercise faithfully; Drink only water and herbal teas; Eat only whole grains, beans, fruits, and vegetables; Eat fish, nuts, seeds and nut butters. Eliminate one meal each day; and ADD more prayer and Bible study.
(No Fried foods or Junk food or Caffeine) (No Sweets, No Processed foods)
(No Soda, Carbonated or Energy drinks)
WE SHALL NEVER FORGET!!!
“People fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don’t know each other; they don’t know each other because they have not communicated with each other.”
“We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.”
“No person has the right to rain on your dreams”
“I was a drum major for Peace and Righteousness.” “Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope” “Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” "Everybody can be great ... because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love." “You will change your mind; you will change your looks; you will change your smile, laugh, and ways but no matter what you change, you will always be you.” “No work is insignificant. All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.”
