My Morning Prayer: The Humble Place

My Morning Prayer: The Humble Place
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley

The Humble Place
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

I restore the crushed spirit of the humble and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts (Isaiah 57:15 NLT).

God’s grace works within our lives to strip us and reduce us, to mold us and shape us, to conform us into His image, and to transform us into His likeness. God reveals to us our true needs and causes us to see how truly dependent we are upon Him. God does this, not to leave us empty, but to fill us with His true riches found in Jesus Christ; not to leave us downcast, but to be our glory and the lifter of our heads; not to make our lives miserable, but to bring to us the fullness of His joy; not to make our lives meaningless, but to work within us His eternal purpose.

My Monday Prayer

-Marina Bromley

Lord God, You are my Father and Shepherd. You provide for me and direct me. You guide me to where I need to be in life circumstances and surround me with exactly what I need to be more dependent upon You. Thank You.

As the world is focused on the material things of Christmas, help me to continue to look in the manger, being grateful for all You have given me. Thank You for walking with me through difficult circumstances, for being Light in this dark valley, for comforting me in physical and emotional pain, for providing for me before I know what I will need for tomorrow. The "manna" of Your body and blood is more than enough to carry me through each day. I praise You for the forgiveness of my sins. I rejoice that You will return again one day. Give me courage to testify of Your goodness, which far surpasses worldly possessions.  Help me to be content in the "just enough" for today, and to trust You for tomorrow. Continue to make me transformed into Your likeness, to be filled with Your riches, and to be walking in the fullness of Your joy as You work within me Your eternal purpose. I ask all this in humility, that You loved a sinner such as me. In Jesus' name, amen.

My Morning Prayer: You Are My Peace, Part 2

My Morning Prayer: You Are My Peace, Part 2
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley

You Are My Peace, Part 2
-Roy Lessin, A Place at His Table

 
Now may the Lord of peace Himself grant you His peace at all times and in every way [that peace and spiritual well-being that comes to those who walk with Him, regardless of life's circumstances]. The Lord be with you all. (2 Thessalonians 3:16 AMP).    
 
Father, You are the author of peace…may Your peace be written upon my heart.
Jesus, You are the Prince of Peace…may Your peace rule over my heart.
Holy Spirit, You are the river of peace…may Your peace flow abundantly in my heart.

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Father God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit, may You write Your Peace upon my heart, and let it overflow into my life, my family, my home, my neighborhood, my workplace, my circumstances. Take hold of these things and cast out anything (in the powerful name of Jesus!) that causes angst and unbelief, conflict and despair, and root my heart and head in Your Word, the Bible. Let all other sources of rumors, opinions, even news, be silenced so that You are the loudest voice I hear speaking into my life, my circumstances, and the world around me—near and far away. I want to rest in You and Your promises. You have said that I will not walk alone, so let me see You, feel You, and know that You ARE with me, each step of the day. I love You because You first loved me. Let me show my love for You by loving others too, because You love them and want that no-one would perish. In Jesus' name. Amen.

My Morning Prayer: You Are My Peace, Part 1
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley
 
You Are My Peace, Part 1
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (John 14:27 NKJV).
  
Lord, You are Jehovah-Shalom. Thank You for Your peace. Shalom peace. Perfect peace. What a precious gift You have given me through Your peace. Where would I be without the blessing of Your peace in my life?
 
Help me to know the reassuring, confirming voice of Your peace in my daily decisions and choices. I trust You to guide me and keep me with the peace that passes understanding.

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Oh Lord, God, my heart is broken wide open for this broken, sinful world. Help me to remember that all sin and darkness comes from one source...the one who is Your enemy, the father of lies. His schemes are not surprises to You. You alone are right, and true, and light. You are love, perfected in the hands and feet of Jesus. Lord, in Your timing, bring Your peace to this brokenness. Bring healing to broken people, and let the balm of Gilead bring healing to our hearts, to those of us on the outside. Help us to be tenderhearted to all who are suffering, and to remember that there are believers, our brothers and sisters in Christ, living on every side of any border. If they are not a follower of You today, by the power of Your Holy Spirit, bring them into the fold tomorrow. We love You, God, and want to make heaven crowded. In Jesus' Name, amen.

My Morning Prayer: Great Is the Lord

My Morning Prayer: Great Is the Lord
Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley, Meeting in the Meadow

Great Is the Lord
-Roy Lessin

Today, may you love Him as your Father,
Thank Him as your Creator,
Look to Him as your Guide,
Depend upon Him as your Protector,
Trust in Him as your Provider,
Seek Him as your Strength,
Yield to Him as your Lord,
Worship Him as your God,
Serve Him as your King.

Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim His greatness. Let the whole world know what He has done. Sing to Him; yes, sing His praises. Tell everyone about His wonderful deeds. Exult in His holy name; rejoice, you who worship the Lord. Search for the Lord and for His strength; continually seek Him. Remember the wonders He has performed, His miracles, and the rulings He has given, you children of His servant Abraham, you descendants of Jacob, His chosen ones (Psalm 105:1–6 NLT).

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Father, as David worshipped You in the Psalms, singing songs of Your goodness and greatness, let my heart worship You today. May I tell others of the things You have done. May I sing to You, and sing of You. May I exult in Your holy name and rejoice in You. May I seek Your strength, remember Your wonders and miracles, and the rulings You have given. I want to worship You with all I have and serve You with everything You have given me. May I bring glory to You today, and every day! In Jesus' name, amen.

My Morning Prayer: In Jesus...
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley

 

In Jesus...
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

In Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him. Colossians 2:9–10 NKJV

 

In Jesus…
The poor find riches,
The weak find strength,
The broken find wholeness,
The heavy-laden find rest,
The sorrowful find comfort,
The embattled find victory,
The captives find liberty,
The weary find refreshment,
The tempted find escape,
The bound find freedom,
The empty find fullness,
The hungry find bread,
The downcast find joy.

My Monday Prayer
-Marina Bromley

My sweetest Father, God, You are gracious and Your gifts to me are so good. Thank You for every good and perfect thing that You provide for me. This Monday morning I am dragging, despite all You have given me. Help me to turn these battles into victories because of who You are in my life! You have already won these battles, and I need to lay them at Your feet, and find rest in Your arms. Turn my mourning into dancing! Let me see Your angel armies in the hills surrounding me, and help me to know that You are protecting me and those who love You. Help me to be satisfied in You. I want to walk with You, victoriously! In Jesus' name, amen.

My Morning Prayer, Clean Hands and a Pure Heart

My Morning Prayer, Clean Hands and a Pure Heart
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley

Clean Hands and a Pure Heart
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

 

Who may climb the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in His holy place? Only those whose hands and hearts are pure, who do not worship idols and never tell lies. They will receive the Lord’s blessing and have a right relationship with God their savior. Psalm 24:3–5 NLT

 

Psalm 24:3–5 speaks about clean hands and a pure heart. Our hands will be clean as we allow God to work through us, and our hearts will be pure as we allow God to work within us:

Clean hands impact our actions; a pure heart impacts our attitudes.
Clean hands will be seen by others; a pure heart will be seen by God.
Clean hands will do right things; a pure heart will do them for the right reasons.

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

My Sweetest Heavenly Father, You have created me to bring You glory; You have chosen me to follow You and live with You forever; You celebrate each time I choose to obey You and walk in Your ways; You cherish the relationship I have with You...thank You so much!

As I continue to learn to walk in Your ways, please change my hands and heart to bring You glory and point people to You daily. Make me more like You! May my attitude and motivation be to please You, not people. Bring me to a place of quiet humility where I may sit with You and hear your heart beat for those that You love. I am yours, and I desire that all You have called by name will choose today as their day of salvation. May Your will be done, dear Lord. In Jesus' name. Amen.

My Morning Prayer: A Benediction

My Morning Prayer: A Benediction
-Roy Lessin, A Place at His Table

 

This is the way to have eternal life—to know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the One You sent to earth (John 17:3 NLT).

Father, we pray this for our friends near and far away...

May you continue to hear His voice more clearly, know His heart more deeply, rest in His care more fully, trust His faithfulness more completely, walk His pathway more confidently, know His presence more intimately, and be blessed by His favor more abundantly.

May You grant this, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

My Morning Prayer: Your Greatest Treasure

My Morning Prayer: Your Greatest Treasure
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley

Your Greatest Treasure
-Roy Lessin, A Place at His Table

We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us (2 Corinthians 4:7 NKJV).

You may not have a lot of money, but you have incredible wealth. You may not have an abundance of things, but you possess more than you could ever ask or think. God has placed within you the greatest treasure anyone can ever possess—it is the life of Jesus Christ. He has freely lavished upon you a treasure house of good things that you can freely give away to others.

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

My Heavenly Father, You have provided MORE than I could ever ask or think. Thank You for each provision You have given me, each opportunity, each gift, each chance to use that gift that You have freely given. Forgive me for my selfishness as I continually ask for more...more stuff, more things that are not necessary. Father, help me to place You firmly on the throne of my heart. Don't let me put anything beside You! I want to worship only You—not culture, not popular opinion, not my words or songs. I don't want my voice to be heard if it is crowding out Your voice. Teach me to know Your Word in my heart, and how to give away this treasure house of good things, that I may freely give Your love away to others. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

My Morning Prayer: The Rest of Faith

My Morning Prayer: The Rest of Faith
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley

 The Rest of Faith
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord (Psalm 27:14 NLT).

What should your faith do in response to what is yours today? Receive! What should your faith do in response to what will be yours another day? Rest!

As you wait upon the Lord, wait with a thankful heart, not a complaining one; with a peaceful heart, not a striving one; with a confident heart, not an uncertain one; with a patient heart, not a hasty one.

You do not need to try to manipulate your future. God is able to fulfill all that He has promised. As you wait, continue to pray, continue to trust, continue to believe, continue to hold hope in your heart, continue to obey, and continue to rejoice evermore. You have a God who cannot and will not fail!

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Father God, my prayer list is long, and before I whisper a request, You know the answer. You promise to supply more than I can ask or think, and I believe You. Help me to hold on to Your promises, as outlined in Your Word, as I approach Your throne. Increase my faith, not just to boldly request things that matter to me or those I care about, but to trust You with Your answers to those prayers. Teach me to wait, trust, believe and hold hope in my heart. Encourage me to obey, and always to rejoice! You will not fail! Help me to rest in Your victories! In Jesus' name, amen.

My Morning Prayer: Love Found A Way

My Morning Prayer: Love Found a Way
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley, Meeting in the Meadow

Love Found A Way
-Roy Lessin

And be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith (Philippians 3:9 NKJV).

I came with my struggles and found Your peace,
I came with my bondage and found Your release.
I came with my burdens and found Your care,
I came with my loneliness and found You there.

I came with my weakness and found You strong,
I came with my sadness and found Your song.
I came with my questions and found You true,
I came with my old ways and found things new.

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Heavenly Father, no matter where I find myself, I know that You have me there for a purpose and plan. Take my struggles, bondage, burdens, loneliness, weakness, sadness, questions, and old ways and replace them with Your presence. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit, and crowd out my insecurities with the confidence of my salvation in the blood of Jesus Christ, Your Son.

As I awake each morning and lay my head down each night, remind me of the things I have found in You. You are the remedy to my illnesses, the strength to my weakness, the answers to my questions. Give me courage to look in Your Word, the Bible, to find Your promises which are true. I belong to You, and Your promises are for me, for my lifetime and beyond. I can rest assured in You. In Jesus' name, amen.

My Morning Prayer: Keep On Trusting

My Morning Prayer: Keep On Trusting
-Roy Lessin, A Place at His Table, Meeting in the Meadow

 

Trust in Him at all times. Psalm 62:8 NLT

Putting your trust in the Lord is a full-time, lifelong, joy-filled privilege. Put your trust in the Lord when you have much and when you have little; when things are going smooth and when things are going rough; when you are settled and when you are in the midst of change; when you have understanding and when you aren’t sure what to do.

Trust in the Lord is not seasonal or selective, or debatable, relative or arbitrary. Trust in the Lord should be steadfast, constant, consistent, unwavering. You can completely trust in the One who is completely trustworthy.

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Father God, thank You for walking with me through every season. Your companionship means so much to me, as You accompany me in every life situation. You are so dependable, and I need You in every way. Direct my steps to align with Yours. Help me to see You working in my life, and hiding Your Word in my heart. Thank You for all You give to me...all You provide for me...all You keep away from me. Let me trust You with every detail of my life. In Jesus' name, amen.

My Morning Prayer: Praise

My Morning Prayer: Praise
-Roy Lessin, A Place At His Table, Meeting in the Meadow

Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. Hebrews 13:15 NKJV

Praise to You, Lord God Almighty! You are good. Kind. Gracious. You are love, and full of compassion. I am blessed to spend each day in Your presence.

You are greater than all there is, greater than all that there has been, and greater than all that will ever be. I sing unto You, for You are my song; I rejoice in You, for You are my celebration; I delight in You, for You are my greatest treasure.

Moment by moment, and day by day, You are my Savior and my God!

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Father, God, remind me continually of Your greatness and Your majesty. Of Your goodness, kindness and graciousness. Your love and compassion. Keep a song in my heart and on my lips, that I might praise You always, no matter what conditions are around me. I want to rejoice in You and celebrate all that You are to me! Teach me to bless You more! In Jesus' name, amen.

My Morning Prayer: When You Need Him Most

My Morning Prayer: When You Need Him Most
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley

When You Need Him Most; A Place at His Table
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean He no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?... No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:35, 39 NLT).

His strongest grace
is for your weakest moment;

His sweetest fellowship
is for your loneliest journey;

His richest supply
is for your neediest hour;

His closest embrace
is for your deepest sorrow;

His brightest light
is for your darkest day.

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Father, I need You most every moment of every day! I confess my lack of trust to turn my needs over to You, that You might satisfy them in me. Teach me how to walk in the confidence of my salvation, of Your love for me. Help me to shine brightly in the darkness of the world to share Your love for all people. I want to have unending fellowship with You—let me learn Your presence and voice. In Jesus' name, amen.

My Morning Prayer: Run to Jesus

My Morning Prayer: Run to Jesus
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

 

The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe  (Proverbs 18:10 NKJV).

 

Is there a trial you are facing, a difficulty you are walking through, a sorrow you are carrying?

You are not alone in these trying times. There is One alone who is a very present help in time of need. In Jesus you have a Warrior who has won the battle, a Champion who has defeated the foe, a Conqueror who will lead you in triumph. 

He is your Light in the darkest night, your Companion in the deepest valley, your Guide through the densest forest, your Rock on the shakiest ground, your Shelter from the strongest storm, your Oasis in the driest desert, your Captain on the roughest seas.

Run to Jesus! Run to His love. Run to His strength. Run in confidence. Run with all your heart.

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Lord Jesus, thank You for being the One who is my Help in time of need. I praise You for being my Warrior and Champion, and my Conqueror who is leading me. Thank You for being my Companion and Guide who always walks with me. Continue to be my Rock and Shelter, my Oasis and my Captain. Lord Jesus, You are my all in ALL. My everything. Have Your way in me, Lord. I am Yours. In Jesus' name, amen.

My Morning Prayer: His Desire Is to Bless You

My Morning Prayer: His Desire Is to Bless You
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley

His Desire Is to Bless You
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3 NKJV).

 

You will never lack anything that His grace cannot give you, and He will give to you over and over again.

Because His supply is abundant you will never be without.
Because His heart is full you will never be empty.
Because His resources are endless there will never be a time when He cannot meet your needs.

Your life couldn’t be in better hands. As you come to Him in prayer remember how much He desires to bless you.

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Father God, I know that I am not deserving of the blessings You shower over me, and yet You give to me over and over more than I could ask or think. Thank You for caring for me. Thank You for meeting my every need. Thank You for spilling over into my heart that I may overflow into others' hearts. I need Your love, a healing touch, a quiet word of affirmation. Still my heart that I may hear from You today. Still my body that I might feel You at work. Still my mind that I may understand the fulness of Your love for me, and this broken world. Be at work, Dear Lord, and heal our bodies, our minds, our land. In Jesus' name, amen.

My Morning Prayer: His Words for Today's Need

My Morning Prayer: His Words for Today's Need
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley

His Words for Today’s Need
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

 

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and Thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by Thy name, O Lord God of hosts. Jeremiah 15:16 KJV

 

Do you need comfort? Let His words console you.

Do you need guidance? Let His words give you wisdom.

Do you need encouragement? Let His words bring you hope.

Do you need gladness? Let His words delight you.

Do you need stillness? Let His words speak peace to you.

Do you need confidence? Let His words build you up.

Do you need daily bread? Let His words feed your hungry heart.

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Lord God, as I come to you in the quiet of this morning, help me turn my attention to You. You are amazing, and have created so much for my benefit, beyond what I could ever ask or think.

As I draw near to You and consider the things said above, open my hands as I release situations to You, and help me to have the courage and patience to sit at Your feet and seek Your word and Your will.

May I be comforted. May I be filled with wisdom and hope. May I delight in You, no matter what is going on around me. May I feel Your peace that passes understanding.

Father, increase within me. I want to be filled with You, and content in You. May Your will be done. In Jesus' name, amen.

My Morning Prayer: God Uses You to Bless Others

My Morning Prayer: God Uses You to Bless Others
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley, Meeting in the Meadow

 God Uses You to Bless Others
-Roy Lessin

Let your speech at all times be gracious (pleasant and winsome), seasoned [as it were] with salt, [so that you may never be at a loss] to know how you ought to answer anyone [who puts a question to you]. Colossians 4:6 AMPC

Salt is a delightful additive to our taste buds. Used in proper amounts, it enhances the foods we eat and brings out their unique flavors.

Like salt, there are those who bring a special seasoning of the Spirit to our lives. They add the seasoning of hope, faith, and encouragement into conversations and relationships. Their presence enhances our lives whenever we are with them. They say the words that are exactly what our hearts need to hear. Words of life, words of truth, and words of grace are words of salt that come from the heart of God.

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Father, God, thank You for creating each thing with intention and purpose. You are an awesome Creator, and I am blessed knowing that You have created things for my use and benefit and blessing.

Thank You for the people You have placed around me in my life—people who speak the wisdom of Your Word, remind me of Your truth, and sprinkle "God seasonings" of salt and light into my life. I want to be that person who speaks encouragement and hope into others too! Grow me, change me, make me into the person You have created me to be, for Your glory. In Your name, Jesus, I pray. Amen.

My Morning Prayer, God Hears and Answers Prayer

My Morning Prayer, God Hears and Answers Prayer
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley

 

God Hears and Answers Prayer
-Roy Lessin

My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up (Psalm 5:3 NKJV).

As you walk the paths of prayer you will be guided into everything that is true and right…into all that is best for you and others…into all that will take you to the highest expressions of His love. He will lead you by His way, by His words, and by His will. He will guide you down the paths that lead you straight to His heart. Each prayer He answers will be for your good and for His glory.

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Thank You Lord, for being beside me in every moment of every day. Thank You for guiding me to things that are right and true, into circumstances and situations that will show me the expressions of Your love. Thank You for leading me by Your way, Your words, Your will. I know that when I ask You for bread, You will not give me a stone, but You will also not give me what I do not need...You give me what will be for my good, and Your glory. When I look forward into my day, or my week, it is like looking with a flashlight, and I may not understand why You do not give me everything I ask for. As I walk with You, I can look back as if shining a floodlight in my past and comprehend that You gave me what was best for me, what will grow me to be more like You in the future. Thank You for the gift of Your presence, the Holy Spirit. I need more of You every day of my life. In Jesus' name, amen.
