Morning Leaders. “I think what endurance sports teach you is to stay dedicated, stay focused, and also to understand you’re going to have ups and downs, but you need to keep running right through them.” – Kyrsten Sinema

Day 15 – The Prayer Cafe “31 Day Challenge”
Day 15
The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. – 1 Peter 4:7
“God, our Father, we are exceedingly frail and indisposed to every virtuous and gallant undertaking. Strengthen our weakness, we beseech you, that we may do valiantly in this spiritual war; help us against our own negligence and cowardice, and defend us from the treachery of our unfaithful hearts, for Jesus Christ’s sake.” – Thomas Kempis
Let us pray:
Lord, hear our prayers.

Day 14 – The Prayer Cafe “31 Day Challenge”
Day 14
But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. – Luke 6:27-28
“True prayers are born of present trials and present needs. Bread for today is bread enough. Bread given for today is the strongest sort of pledge that there will be bread tomorrow. Victory today is the assurance of victory tomorrow. Our prayers need to be focused upon the present. We must trust God today, and leave the morrow entirely with Him. The present is ours; the future belongs to God. Prayer is the task and duty of each recurring day — daily prayer for daily needs.” – E.M. Bounds
Let us pray:
Give us this day our daily bread, our daily sustenance, our daily understanding, our daily protection, and our daily communion. Thank you for being such a great provider, supporter, and friend. Thank you that we cannot even imagine what Your abundance looks like for our lives. We humbly receive it and as little children we smile knowing we are loved so tremendously.
Thank you Daddy.

Morning Leaders – Lens
Morning Leaders. The lens through which you see a person informs who they are…to you. Hopefully the lens is clear and correct…
Day 13 – The Prayer Cafe “31 Day Challenge”
Day 13
When you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. – Matthew 6:6
“Jesus did not say, “Dream about your Father who is in the secret place,” but He said, “…pray to your Father who is in the secret place….” Prayer is an effort of the will. After we have entered our secret place and shut the door, the most difficult thing to do is to pray. We cannot seem to get our minds into good working order, and the first thing we have to fight is wandering thoughts. The great battle in private prayer is overcoming this problem of our idle and wandering thinking. We have to learn to discipline our minds and concentrate on willful, deliberate prayer. It is impossible to carry on your life as a disciple without definite times of secret prayer.” – Oswald Chambers
Let us pray:
Find that secret prayer today.

Morning Leaders – Faith
Morning Leaders. “Faith is a living, daring confidence in God’s grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.” – Martin Luther
Day 12 – The Prayer Cafe “31 Day Challenge”
Day 12
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. – Hebrews 4:16
“The little estimate we put on prayer is evident from the little time we give to it. The time given to prayer by the average preacher scarcely counts in the sum of the daily aggregate. Not infrequently the preacher’s only praying is by his bedside in his nightdress, ready for bed and soon in it, with, perchance the addition of a few hasty snatches of prayer ere he is dressed in the morning. How feeble, vain, and little is such praying compared with the time and energy devoted to praying by holy men in and out of the Bible! How poor and mean our petty, childish praying is beside the habits of the true men of God in all ages! To men who think praying their main business and devote time to it according to this high estimate of its importance does God commit the keys of his kingdom, and by them does he work his spiritual wonders in this world. Great praying is the sign and seal of God’s great leaders and the earnest of the conquering forces with which God will crown their labors.” – Oswald Chambers
Let us pray:
Father forgive me. I am guilty as charged. Help me establish prayer as my main business.
