THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE

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

Father, as many have begun their morning journey, they know that they are blessed and highly favored. They know that it is only through your grace and mercy that they have life. Because of you, they are able to turn wrongs into rights, hate into love, and darkness into light.

Therefore, they cleanse their mindset of fear, anger, faithlessness, and doubt. They pray for your divine direction, protection, and guidance. They pray for forgiveness and the ability to forgive others. They pray for a true relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Moreover, they thank you for your ultimate sacrifice of your Son, Jesus Christ, to allow all to have the opportunity to have salvation.

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Roman 6:23

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

GOD IS OUR REFUGE

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning that was not promised. I’m grateful for second chances.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they thank you profusely for your continued blessings, favor, grace, and mercy. It is only because of you that they have life and have such abundantly.

GOD WILL SEE YOU THROUGH IT ALL

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to thank you for the gift of life and the strength to push through their mental and physical woes. They thank you for the ability to remain focused on their goal of helping others through their own experiences in life. They understand that nothing in life is promised; therefore, they continue to trust in you for all things.

At the point where they wanted to give up, you gave them a reason to smile. At the time they wanted to isolate themselves, you allowed them to find comfort in socializing with loved ones as well as strangers. When they hesitated when it came to trusting others, you allowed them to have peace within their soul. When they were overwhelmed because of their hidden disabilities, you allowed them to push through by focusing on your ultimate purpose.

Father, help all to realize that as long as they put you first, all will work out for the good of those who love you, through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to know that there is a greater purpose for their trials and tribulations; therefore, never give up on life.

“Let us then, with confidence, draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16

Father, help all to cling closely to you during the good and the bad. Help them know that you will never forsake them. Help them to keep their minds on you through your Son, Jesus Christ, at all times.

LEARNING FROM EXPERIENCES

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

Father, as many have awakened on this beautiful morning, they sing praises to you, through your Son Jesus Christ, for granting them another day to make a difference.

Instead of doing the same thing and expecting different results, they pause to evaluate their goals and accomplishments, as well as their shortcomings and setbacks. They understand that they cannot change what has occurred, but they can learn from their various experiences of heartaches, pains, setbacks, and setups.

Father, help all to realize that through you and your Son, Jesus Christ, they are renewed and restored daily. Father, help all to come to you for all things, realizing that all prayers are answered in your timing in conjunction with the timing of whoever requests your help.

GOD ALLOWS SMILES FROM WITHIN

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to say, “Thank You”. If it weren’t for you, they would not be in the right state of mind this morning. If it were not for you, they would not have survived their most heartbreaking experience. If it were not for you, they would not have been able to push through their darkness. If it were not for you, they would not be able to understand that your love is indeed unconditional.

Father, help all to understand that when they have unfathomable experiences and pains in life, you are always present to comfort, guide, direct, restore, renew, and keep them. Help those who have experienced and continue to experience many ups and downs in life understand that there is always a greater purpose for all things.

Moreover, help them to cling to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things, and they will be able to smile from within again.

“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26

A CHOSEN PATH

Father, praise your holy name for this 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 to you for your continued blessings. They know that it is only by your grace that they have been given another opportunity to make a difference. Therefore, they pray a prayer of repentance and thankfulness. They focus more on glorifying you through your Son, Jesus Christ, than glorifying themselves or others on earth. They recognize that there is nothing in life that they have accomplished, achieved, provided, gained, or earned without you. Therefore, they continue to trust in you for all things, including your daily guidance, direction, protection, healing, and spiritual renewal.

Father, help all to realize that all goodness comes from you. Help them understand that you know all things and have prepared a path that is best for each person. However, some give in to the thirst of the flesh and choose to walk the path that leads to destruction instead of the path that leads to salvation.

“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Psalm 16:11
