Heavenly Father, Night 1 of May is done - and heaven has heard every word prayed here tonight. I seal this prayer time with the blood of Jesus. What was released tonight, no devil will steal. I am walking into May 2026 with open heavens over my head and the God of heaven at my back. This is my month - and I will testify. Amen!
