WHO DO YOU DEPEND ON?

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they smile, for you have allowed them to experience another day despite their shortcomings. Instead of dwelling on the negativity that continues to fester, they pray to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for deliverance. Instead of dwelling on what went wrong throughout their lifetime, they focus on how you continuously bless them and bring them peace and resolve.

Father, help all to depend upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things. Help them to understand that it is only by grace that they are made whole after true repentance. Therefore, continue to lean upon you through Jesus Christ for resolve, peace, joy, and unconditional love in the midst of their trials and tribulations.

WILL YOU CLING TIGHT TO GOD?

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they sing praises to you for another day that was not promised. Despite their challenges in life, they push through with determination to make a difference. Instead of giving up or giving in, they pause to say a prayer of thankfulness and for the willpower to overcome all challenges. They understand that you are definitely the key to their livelihood, happiness, peace, and joy.

Father, help all to cling tight to you through the good and the bad, the light and the darkness, as well as the faith and the fear.

“But you shall cling to the LORD, your God, just as you have done to this day. For the LORD has driven out before you great and strong nations. And as for you, no man has been able to stand before you to this day. One man of you puts to flight a thousand, since it is the LORD, your God, who fights for you, just as he promised you. Be very careful, therefore, to love the LORD, your God.” Joshua 23:8-11

GUIDED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they are filled with your Holy Spirit. They are focused on turning their wrongs into rights: sadness to happiness, and despair to joy. They are also determined to ‘brake the chain around them so that nobody else can bind them’.

Father, help all to understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, are essential in their lives. Help them to understand that your Holy Spirit, which dwells within, “guides us by calling us into relationship with Jesus. The Spirit guides us by purging our sinful urges and growing his fruits. The Spirit guides us with the truth of his written word. The Spirit guides us through the process of godly discernment.”

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” (Galatians 5:22-24).

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to say a prayer of thanksgiving.

Instead of sinning purposefully, they pray for your divine direction and forgiveness. Although all sin and fall short of your glory daily, they are more intentional about applying your holy word to their lives.
