#MorningPrayer (Rom 10) Gracious savior, you called out to Israel, “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.” I believe this applies to us too. You keep inviting. We keep declining. Eternal One, please don't stop.

[Mark Adams @supncc]

#MorningPrayer (Rom 9) Sovereign God, you will have mercy on whom you will have mercy. You will call those who are not your people, your children. Have mercy on me. Adopt me through Christ my advocate.

[Mark Adams @supncc]

#MorningPrayer (Rom 8) Really? Yes! My heart sings with the affirmation that nothing can separate me from Your love, from Your salvation, from Your redemption. My hope is in You always!

[Mark Adams @supncc]

#MorningPrayer (Rom 8) Lamb of God, suffering servant, crucified Lord, I want to share in your resurrection glory, grant me peace in the embrace of sharing also in your suffering.

A lot has been written and posted recently about gender and the church because of a proposal in a large denomination. I encourage you to read this article for a much needed perspective that differs from most of the public discourse about the role of women in the church.

#MorningPrayer (Rom 9) As Paul agonized over the hardness of heart showed by your chosen, Israel, and pled with you for their salvation, so today do I, as wild branch grafted into this holy tree, ask that would soften hard and heal traumatized hearts to bring about a new day.

[Mark Adams @supncc]

#MorningPrayer (Rom 5) I know my bad actions in the past had dark ripple impacts on many in my orbit. God forgive me. Help me, by your grace in which I now stand, to generate life giving ripple effects into those around me now. As Adams was and Jesus is, so let me be.

[Mark Adams @supncc]

#MorningPrayer (Rom 4) I have no righteousness on my own. I confess my desperate and continual need of your grace. I trust in the power you exercised to raise Jesus from the dead that you do forgive my sin and will carry my soul into eternity.

[Mark Adams @supncc]

#MorningPrayer (Rom 3) Logos of Yahweh, your revealed word is moral perfection, showing me the path of righteousness, and cutting to the quick as its brilliance reveals how far short of good I truly fall. Increase my faith to grow into holiness and be redeemed thru your cross.

#MorningPrayer (Rom 1) Father, when your children choose to "know better" than you we devolve into baser selves and turn on one another. Keep me grounded in your Word, may your teachings permeate my soul that I may exhibit your holiness, love and justice. Forgive my failures.

[Mark Adams @supncc]

#MorningPrayer (2 Cor 13) My Sovereign Lord, you have placed often in positions of authority. Keep me from using power to destroy or tear down, but to build others up and move toward restoration thru Your ethic of love.

[Mark Adams @supncc]

#MorningPrayer (2 Cor 11) Thank you Creator that you provided a vast wealth of access to your biblical truth, Theological insight, spiritual support. There is no excuse for me not to truly know your word and find encouragement and healthy correction. Make me a biblical believer.

[Mark Adams @supncc]

#MorningPrayer (2 Cor 8) Move, Holy Spirit, among Your people and churches, raising up generosity and liberality so that those who have little may experience enough, that all may experience the true joy of giving and Your desired equality may be made manifest.

[Mark Adams @supncc]

#MorningPrayer (2 Cor 7) Show me today how I might be a blessing to someone struggling with inner turmoil and external threat.

[Mark Adams @supncc]

#MorningPrayer (2 Cor 6) By your kind spirit, even when sorrowful, I am also rejoicing; even when poor, I can make many rich; having nothing, yet possessing everything. You are all that I need. Forgive me on days when I fail to remember that.

[Mark Adams @supncc]

#MorningPrayer (2 Cor 4) I pray, gracious savior, that you will touch those who today feel hard pressed, perplexed and struck down. Through you Spirit, may they not be crushed, in despair or destroyed, but experience your inward daily renewal.

[Mark Adams @supncc]

#MorningPrayer (2Cor 2) Keep the church, keep me, from being tempted to "profit" or "peddle" the good news of Jesus.

[Mark Adams @supncc]

#MorningPrayer (2Cor 1) In hardship you have been my comfort, now give me even today an opportunity to comfort by your grace one who is experiencing hardship.
