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

Father, as many have awakened and begun their morning journey, they sing praises of joy and happiness. 

Despite their circumstances, they smile because you have allowed them another day to make a difference. Instead of dwelling on their trials and tribulations, they push through their troubles and focus on their blessings. Instead of worrying about pleasing those who are only concerned with or about themselves, they focus on doing your will for the betterment of all situations. 

Father, help all to take time daily to wholeheartedly examine themselves. Help them to understand that life is full of ups and downs, challenges, pain, joy, happiness, and sadness.

However, with you, they are able to push through all obstacles as they adorn themselves with your armor and shield, your helmet of salvation, and your breastplate of righteousness.

“Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel—rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.” 1 Peter 3:3–4
