A GREATER PURPOSE FOR ALL EXPERIENCES

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed day in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love and continued guidance.

Father, as many are continuing their daily journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for another day that was not promised. They smile because you have given them another opportunity to get it right. They pray because they know that without you and your guidance, their difficulties and struggles in life would continue to fester, causing issues that may result in mental and physical woes. Therefore, they give all their worries to you, knowing that all things will work out in accordance to what you have purposed for them.

Father, help us all to remain strong and steadfast in your holy word. Help them to understand that in life’s journey, the things that they endure are not always totally about them; it’s about how such experiences can help someone else through their journey, as well as bring someone closer to you through your Son, Jesus Christ. In addition, knowing that the ultimate purpose, for those who have experienced such, can lead to all remaining steadfast in your holy word and trusting in you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for continued direction, guidance, renewal, peace, joy, and happiness.

“Great are your purposes, and mighty are your deeds. Your eyes are open to the ways of all mankind; you reward each person according to their conduct and as their deeds deserve.” Jeremiah 31:19

GOD’S PERFECT TIMING

Father, praise your holy name for this marvelously blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for answered prayers.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for turning their frown to a smile.

When they thought that they were alone in all aspects of life, you reminded them that your Holy Spirit is always present and carries them through their trials, heartaches, griefs, pain, despair, and/or desolation.
Father, help all to understand that there is a time and a season for all experiences. Despite its intensity, continue trusting in you through your Son, Jesus Christ, knowing that through it all, ultimately, your purpose for them will be revealed.

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” Ecclesiastes 3:11

A DEPENDABLE GOD

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their daily journey, they continue to sing praises to your holy name for another day that was not promised.

Despite the roadblocks that arise, they continue to push forward, knowing that you have the solution to all problems. Despite their wavering minds as to “what if,” “why,” and/or “when,” they remain steadfast in your holy word, knowing that you “did not give them a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” 2 Tim 1:7

Father, help all to realize that the only one they can truly rely upon to protect, guide, and direct is you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your Holy Spirit.

Father, help all to realize that you are the answer to all situations, and despite how it appears, you will not foresake them, for you are a constant and dependable God.

“Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly, he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, and I will not be shaken.My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock and my refuge.
Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.”
Psalm 62:5-8

GOD DELIVERS US THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning that was not promised. I’m grateful for my continued spiritual connection with you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, as many have been blessed to witness another day in Christ, they praise you for another day to get it right. Despite their continued efforts to live righteously, they fall short every day. Therefore, they pray for forgiveness and a stronger will to keep you first in their daily journey.

They often feel like Paul did in Romans 7. “Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law, but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? “Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!”

Father, help all to understand that no one on this earth is perfect, and all will fall short of your glory daily; however, your Son, Jesus Christ, died and was resurrected so that all can have salvation.

Help all to pray, worship, confess their sins, repent, be baptized, and cling closely to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, daily. Help them also to remember that God knows every thought as well as the motives behind every good and bad deed.

“For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.” Ecclesiastes 12:14

“He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Colossians 1:13-14.

GOD AWAITS YOUR CALL

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ! I’m grateful for second chances.

Father, as many have begun their morning journey, they pause to say “Thank You.” Because of your grace and mercy, they have life and have it more abundantly. They take time to evaluate themselves to become more like you than man.

They pray for your continued guidance to push through intentional and unintentional obstacles. They pray for patience to remain focused on your holy word instead of fitting in with the masses. They ask for forgiveness for their sins and pray for your forgiveness, direction, guidance, peace, and protection.

Father, help all to understand that you are hope, love, happiness, peace, joy, and are all powerful. Moreover, help them realize that you are always present; however, your holy spirit awaits their call.

“In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.” Psalm 18:6, NIV

WILL YOU LISTEN TO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST?

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love!

Father, as many have awakened to see another blessed morning, they thank you profusely. They know that it is only by your grace that they are given another opportunity to share your holy word. They know that no one is perfect; however, with you, they are all able to repent and change their thought process to uplift you through Christ.

Father, help all to examine themselves daily, for sometimes their thoughts turn to unplanned actions that they may eventually regret. In addition, please help all to be quick to listen and slow to speak.

“My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. James 1:19-21

IS GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST YOUR PRIORITY?

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your forgiveness and faithfulness.

They know that it is only by your grace that they can move forward in life. They understand that you are always present in their lives, despite their shortcomings. They understand that you have never and will never forsake them or leave them destitute.

Father, help all to look past the negative thoughts that come and go and focus on allowing you to redirect their thoughts as well as their path in life.

Help all to pray for peace beyond understanding. Help them to understand that although life is full of challenges, twists, and turns, as long as they continue to put you through Jesus Christ first, no weapons formed against them will prosper.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good, and acceptable, and perfect.” Romans 12:2

KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE LORD!

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for second chances!

Father, as many have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for the gift of life and your continued blessings!

They are grateful to you for allowing them to awaken and see another day.

They have repented of their sins and prayed that they would be led by your holy spirit, but despite knowing what to do, they continue to do whatever it takes to gain worldly approval, not spiritual approval.

They say whatever sounds good to place them in the light; however, their inner being is filled with darkness and deceitfulness.

They look the part, but forget that regardless of what others may perceive, you know all things.

They gloat at the misfortunes of others, although they are consistently lifted by you during their darkest moments.

They compete against others while secretly watching their progress in life as well as your favor over their life.

They hate when others, who have a genuine relationship with you, praise you for their good as well as their bad.

However, they still choose to seek favor from those who are accepted, worshipped, and put upon a pedestal because of their popularity and/or association with a particular group, class, and/or title.

Father, help all to tread carefully. Help them understand that you know, see, and hear everything. Moreover, no person can atone for their sins. Therefore, keep their minds on you in all areas of life.

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee.” Isaiah 26:3

BECOMING WHOM GOD HAS ORDAINED

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for another opportunity to get it right.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they bow in prayer to you, your Son, Jesus Christ, and to your holy spirit for another blessed morning that was not promised. They know that it is only because of your grace and mercy that they are given another opportunity to get it right.

They pray that they are able to overcome the many challenges that arise as well as stand strong in faith as their adversaries try to defeat them. Moreover, they pray that they are able to be the person whom you have ordained them to be and/or become before they grace this earth.

Father, help all to open their eyes to understand that there is a greater purpose for their existence. Help them to cling closely to you through prayer and supplication.

“In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey; they sing praises to you through your Son Jesus Christ. They understand that your love for them is incomparable to any other love on earth. Therefore, they embrace your Holy Spirit. When they repent of their sins, you forgive them and redirect their path. They know that all things are possible with you, and despite their physical situation, they will continue to seek and feed their spirit with love, positive affirmations, and your holy word.
