CLING TO GOD’S TEACHINGS

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for another day that was not promised. They know that, despite their shortcomings, your love for them is never-ending. They know that despite their challenges, you continue to direct their path. They know that, despite their sins, you forgive them after true repentance. They know that you come so that all may have life and have it more abundantly. Therefore, they pray for your continued grace and mercy. They understand that nothing is possible without you. Therefore, they push through their adversities and challenges, knowing that you will always guide them to the path of righteousness and peace beyond understanding.

Father, help all to understand that you are love. Help them further to understand that you came so that all may have life and have it more abundantly. Therefore, cling to your teachings and not their own understandings.

“Because you are my help,
I sing in the shadow of your wings. I cling to you; your right hand upholds me.” Psalm 63:7-8

TESTED BY GOD, BUT NEVER TEMPTED

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they know that they are victorious in you through your Son, Jesus Christ! They push to renew their mindset, walk, and strength. They rebuke all strongholds and pray for your continued protection and guidance. They know that all things are possible with you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your Holy Spirit.

Father, help all to realize that you are the reason for their existence, their peace through their storms, their love beyond understanding, and their continued protection through the storms in life.

Father, help all to know that having a true relationship with you should be their most important mission in life. Help them to understand that you know all things; therefore, live life accordingly, realizing that we are tested by you but never tempted.

“No one is to say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.” James 1:13

LET GOD’S HOLY WORD GUIDE YOU!

Father, I am giving you all the praise for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your agape love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to thank you for your continued blessings. They know that it is only by your grace that they have life, and they have it more abundantly.

Despite falling short of your glory, you continuously forgive, provide, protect, and direct their steps.

Despite knowing to do good but continuously doing what pleases the flesh, they fail to understand that they are in sin.

Father, help all to focus on searching the scriptures to determine their walk in life. Help them to truthfully evaluate themselves in accordance with your holy word and not by the acceptance and/or standards of man.

Moreover, help all to understand that it is a sin to know what to do but intentionally fail to do it.

“The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.” Psalm 32:8

GOD MAKES YOU WHOLE AND COMPLETE

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your continued guidance, grace, and mercy.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to say a prayer of thanksgiving. They know that it is only because of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, that they have life and have it more abundantly.

When their attention was to do that which was contrary to your holy word, you allowed them to see the end result prior to them attempting to satisfy their desires, ultimately resulting in them choosing obedience, being a positive influence, as well as experiencing total resolution.

When they were persuaded to do things contrary to your holy word by those whom they looked up to, they straddled the fence until they finally realized that you had never forsaken them.

Father, help all to seek help, recognition, peace, joy, and happiness from you, and not man, because you, through Christ, will allow all to experience wholeness and total completeness.

“On the other hand, don’t be gullible. Check out everything, and keep only what’s good.Throw out anything tainted with evil. May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together—spirit, soul, and body—and keep you fit for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ. The one who called you is completely dependable. If he said it, he’ll do it!”
1 Thessalonians 5:21–24

KNOWING THE ORIGINATION OF TESTS AND TEMPTATIONS

Father, praise your holy name for this beautiful morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your ultimate sacrifice!

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises for another day that was not promised. They awakened with their minds, which stayed upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ. They know that it is only because of you that they have life. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive, protect, uplift, restore, renew, and direct them to the path of righteousness.

Father, help all who feel like giving up or giving in. Help them to understand that there will be many tests from you and many temptations from Satan. However, be strong, for their faith in you through your Son Jesus Christ, will bring them through for you to come so they may have life and have it more abundantly.

“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, nor tempteth he any man.”
James 1:13 “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man.”
James 1:13

“Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.”
1 Peter 1:7

TOTAL DEPENDENCE ON GOD THROUGH CHRIST

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to say a prayer of thankfulness. They know that it is only because of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, that they have life. They know that your love is never-ending; therefore, they continue to push through negativity, darkness, difficulties, and other distractions through their faith and dependency upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to know that there will be days where they may want to give up; however, they must remember that the trials in life are tests or measures needed to push them to a total dependence upon you through Christ, and not a dependence upon themselves or man.

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9–10

LOVE IS KEY TO SALVATION

Father, I praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many are beginning their morning journey, they smile because they are grateful for your continued blessings, grace, and mercy. Because of you, they have another opportunity to get it right. Therefore, they pray for you to allow them to love others despite their disposition. They pray for those who hate others due to their own envy or jealousy to love their neighbors as they love themselves.

Help all to build a relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, so that love will cause the hatred and jealousy within to dissipate.

“Now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.”1 Cor. 13:13.

”Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12

“God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him.”
1 John 4:16

CHOOSING GOD’S WAY

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they pause to say, “Thank you”. It is only by your grace that they have life, and they have it more abundantly.

Although some have fallen by the wayside due to focusing on what they see as happiness, they are more concerned with what is more pleasing to the mastiff than what pleases you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to evaluate themselves based on what you desire from them instead of what is more desirable in the world.

“I have chosen the faithful way; I have placed Your ordinances before me.” Psalm 119:30
