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.

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” James 1:5
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Proverbs 1:7

GAINING A BETTER UNDERSTANDING

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your presence in my life.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they glorify your holy name for allowing them another opportunity to get it right. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to uplift, restore, and renew. Despite their wavering faith, you continue to provide, guide, and direct.

Father, help all to understand that they should always make you, through your Son Jesus Christ, their first priority. Help all to take time out of their daily schedules to read and study your holy word. Help them to understand that the more knowledge they have concerning your holy word, the better they can understand the tactics and trickery of the devil.

“Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or swerve from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.” Proverbs 4:5-6

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.

THERE IS NO GREATER LOVE THAN GOD’S LOVE

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they thank you for the gift of life. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to push them through and to the path of righteousness. Despite their difficulties, they have vowed to look past yesterday and focus on today. They know that as long as they put all their heart and trust in you, they will never be disappointed. They further understand that you are Alpha and Omega, and you know and are in control of all things. Although, you allow everyone to choose their path in life, you always show up to redirect them to the path that is more advantageous to accomplish what you have designed for them to accomplish, be and/or become.

Father, help all to trust in you for all things. Help them to understand that their timing does not determine your timing and/or will for them. Help them to understand that they should cling closely to your unchanging hands during the good as well as the bad. Moreover, help them understand that you come so that they may life, and have it abundantly!

“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6-8

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

GOD’S PURE LOVE

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they pause to pray, thank you, and continue to walk the path that you have established for them. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive, protect, provide, and restore after true repentance. Despite their second chances, you continue to love beyond measure.

Father, help all to understand that your love is like no other love. Help all also realize that while earthly love has an expiration, your love is never-ending, pure, and heals all things.

“In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” 1John 4:9-10

A TRUE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

Father, praising your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ! I’m grateful for your second chances. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have been blessed to witness another day in Christ, they sing praises to you for your continued grace and mercy. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to guide, protect, renew, and restore. Despite their adversities, you continue to sustain them through their darkness, oppression, and/or setbacks.

Father, help everyone to understand that nothing in life is promised; therefore, mintain and/or establish a true relationship with you through your Son Jesus Christ. Father, help them to also know that your love is never-ending. Therefore, cling closely to you, through your Son Jesus Christ, for all things and/or situations.

“Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.”
Romans 8:7-10

GOD’S HAS ALL CONTROL

Father, give you all praise for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love, protection, guidance, restoration, and peace.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their day, they smile because you have granted them another opportunity to get it right. They smile because they are able to examine themselves and determine where they have fallen short and repent of their sins. They smile because, despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive and redirect their path as well as their mindset.

Father, help all to understand that they always have a reason to smile, despite their pain, darkness, and/or difficulties in life. Help them to understand that with you, they have eternal life.

Father, help all to also realize that they can always depend upon you through their difficulties, because you control all things, situations, and people.

“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. In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.”
Ephesians 1:11-14

GOD KNOWS AND SEES ALL THINGS

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your gift of discernment.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they continue to uplift your holy name for being present in their life daily. They understand that it is only because of your love for them that they are able to withstand the plans of the devil who usually works through those who are closest to them. Therefore, they continue to pray, obey, and move forward in life, knowing that no weapons formed against them will prosper.

Father, help all who have darkness, jealousy, envy, and covetousness within their heart. Help all who speak one thing, but do the opposite. Moreover, help them to understand that there is nothing done in secrecy that will not be revealed.

“For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings. His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins. He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly, he shall go astray.” Proverbs 5:21-23

AN OVERCOMER IN CHRIST

Father, praise your holy name for your continued blessings. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their day, they pause to say a prayer of thankfulness. Despite their sins, you continue to forgive them after true repentance and guide them back to the path of righteousness.

Father, help all to understand that, as long as they have you, they will overcome all obstacles, darkness, difficulties, setups, and/or setbacks.

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
