Take Up Your Cross Teaching & Prayer with Overseer Azizah Morrison Continuing the May focus, Anchored , this prayer gathering shifts into a deeply practical and spiritual teaching on Jesus’ instruction: “Take up your cross daily.” Drawing from Luke 9:23, Hebrews 12:1–2, and Galatians 6:9, Overseer Azizah Morrison teaches that the cross is not only about suffering—it is also about responsibility, discipline, surrender, and daily consistency. This lesson explores the tension many believers experience between calling and resistance, desire and follow-through, purpose and personal struggle. With honesty and spiritual depth, the teaching addresses the daily realities of distraction, mental exhaustion, inconsistency, and internal battles, reminding listeners that maturity is often formed through steady obedience rather than emotional moments. The accompanying prayer asks God for strength to carry well, grace for consistency, renewed focus, emotional steadiness, and endurance for believers navigating both spiritual and practical struggles. This is a call to stop fighting the cross God has assigned and to follow Him faithfully—daily, steadily, and anchored in His strength.
