BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

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 have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for your continued grace and mercy. Despite their shortcomings, your love for them remains constant. They pray day and night to be able to do that which pleases you instead of that which pleases man. However, they understand that both good and bad experiences are needed to grow spiritually as well as get closer to you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to examine themselves daily in accordance with your holy word. Help them to always yield to temptation and put on the breastplate of righteousness daily.

“Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.” Ephesians 6:14-17

GOD’S ESTABLISHED PATH

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed #SONday! I’m grateful for your faithfulness.

Father, as many have begun this set aside day, to worship you and praise your holy name through your Son Jesus Christ, they are filled with joy and happiness. They know that it is only because of your love that they are able to push through the darkness that was meant to deplete their happiness as well as their love for you through your Son Jesus Christ. However, through it all, the darkness caused a total dependency upon you through Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to understand that there is a greater purpose for all things; therefore, pray constantly and depend upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ, because their path has already been established.

“And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.” Isaiah 58:11

NEEDED PEACE TO WITHSTAND ALL THINGS

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they smile despite their pain, heartaches, challenges, health concerns, and/or thoughts. It is only because of you that they are able to push through it all. Therefore, they continue to trust in you despite their obstacles. They pray a prayer of thankfulness, through all experiences, for you are indeed the light in their darkness; the comfort in their state of confusion; the friend when they cannot trust anyone; and their psychologist when their thoughts hinder their freedom and progression in life.

Father, help all to understand that life is full of ups, downs, twists, turns, as well as downfalls. However, with you, they have the needed peace to overcome it all.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication; with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:5-7
