It's time to get raw y'all! Last year, I said and recorded prayers anywhere, everywhere about any and everything. During my morning prayers, while driving in the car and so on. It's time to go with that flow again for the next couple of months. I "dug out" some of last year's recordings to post. I'm praying God's blessing on every listener. Pray with me.

Weekly Meditative Scripture:

Romans 8:14

Welcome back to Simply The Prayer Pod! I am still trusting the Lord with every part of my life. He is in charge. As I was praying the Lord laid a word from Isiah 61 on my heart and this is what He says in verse 3, I will grant to those who mourn in Zion an ornament of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment praise instead of a heavy burden. Those are beautiful words of comfort to me and anyone who needs it. I don't know what you may be going through right now, but look to the Lord our God. He is waiting to hear from you so he can help you...Let's take it to the Lord in prayer.

Weekly Meditative Scripture:

Luke 4:17-21

Can life, health and peace come from death? Ask any expert; a farmer, a horticulturist, or an agriculturist and the answer will be a resounding yes. This spring season we think of new beginnings, new life, new things to look forward to...It's just a revigorating and rejuvenating time for all life God has created. It's no mistake that we celebrate the Lord Jesus' resurrection at this time of year... Now that is something to anticipate , be joyful about and put a spring in our steps!

Meditative Scripture: Luke 24:1-9

Today is 1 year in the making of Simply The Prayer Pod. I thank God for all He’s done this past year on the podcast. Yes, March 31 is Simply The Prayer Pod’s first anniversary. I’m grateful for the experience and all that comes with it. The Lord is my first love and sincerely prayer is a passion of mine and it is a privilege to pray with and for others. Today’s prayer is simply a thank you prayer to the Lord.

Meditative Scripture: Psalm 136:1-4

This week we are back praying for the women God has and will raise up in and with His virtue. We honor ourselves during National Women's Month while thanking our Lord for allowing us to accomplish good and significant things for our families, for our communities and for those women who have even attained national recognition throughout history. Most of all we thank God for endowing, equipping and empowering us to do wonderful yet practical works for His Kingdom. Today we are praying Proverbs 31.

Meditative Scripture: Proverbs 31

This is part 3 and the concluding episode of our Prayer Core series. I am blessed to have my Samuel's Prayer (an intercessory) Ministry leader, George Andrews from my local church with us today. I'm sure you will be blessed by his insights and wisdom on prayer.

In Honor of Black History Month-A reciting of prayers of African Americans throughout the years, Pt 2

Meditative Scripture: Rev. 7:9-10
