Praise the Lord everyone. Praise His Holy Name! Good morning, Mt. Sinai-Cornerstone AME Family and Friends, please join us today, Wednesday, June 3, 2026 at 12 noon, in corporate prayer. Let's come together in our own space for the scripture, meditation, and prayer. Prayer is a powerful tool and it breaks down, moves, and crumbles mountains. Amen!
SCRIPTURE: JEREMIAH 29:12-13 NASB
12 “Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart."
MEDITATION: ENTIRELY
Do you ever find yourself praying: “God, please draw me to You and help me to know what to do?” If you do, realize that prayer actually originated with Him. The Lord leads you to ask this because He knows that when you reach that place of deep intimacy with Him, you will experience joy, peace, and an overflowing sense of being loved that nothing in all creation can equal.
“But wait,” you might say. “I’m praying that because I need to hear him. I need His guidance and He is silent.” If so, then understand there may be something He is targeting in you—some area or issue that you have refused to relinquish to Him. Perhaps it has come to your mind even at this moment, but you push the thoughts away with the justification, That can’t possibly be what God wants to address.
But realize that the Lord wants your whole heart—yes, even that thing He’s just brought to mind. Don’t shut Him out. Ask Him to reveal how He wants you to proceed in that area. Open your heart to Him fully, and you will find Him drawing near in ways you never imagined possible. My hope is in Jesus because He wants all of me. (Jesus, Our Perfect Hope Devotional)
PRAYER OF DECLARATION:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your plan of salvation. Thank You that in Your compassion and love that You did not leave me alone. Thank you for the promise that when I seek You, I will find You. Jesus, I want to honor You with my whole heart. Reveal any way in me that is not submitted to You. I open my heart completely to You today. Remove distractions, doubts, and the things that pull my focus away from you. Strengthen me to seek Your presence not just in times of need, but every single day. Reveal Yourself to me and draw me closer to Your heart. In Jesus' name, Amen.
My brothers and sisters, our God is real ... believe His Word for it is true. Father God, help me to draw closer and closer to You. It is my desire to accomplish all that You have ordained for me in this lifetime. You have brought me to a new place, a place of deliverance and freedom. Father God, help me to hold on and receive all that You hold in place for me. May the peace of our risen Savior bless and keep you forever and ever. Amen.
Love, peace, and joy in the Year 2026,
Rev. Mildred L. Barnes
