SPIRITUALLY RENEWED

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for another opportunity to worship you in spirit and in truth.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for the gift of life. They know that It is only by your grace that they have life and have it more abundantly. Therefore, they push through their adversities and challenges knowing that your grace is sufficient. They push through all negativity knowing that you have established their path and no weapons formed against them will prosper.

They sing praises to you because they are grateful for the forgiveness of their sins and, therefore, dedicate their lives to you through confession and baptism.

Father, help all to see that there is no other way to be made spiritually renewed than through repentance, confession, and baptism. Help them to do that which is right in accordance with your holy word.

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing, and perfect will.” Romans 12:1-2

GOD WILL NEVER LEAVE NOR FORSAKEN YOU

Father, giving you all the praise for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your agape love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to give you all the praise as they glorify you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

They know that had it not been for you, they would not have gotten the needed rest, despite their sleeping. They know that had it not been for you, they would not have awakened to witness this blessed morning in Christ.

Moreover, they know that if it wasn’t for your agape love, favor, grace, and mercy they would not be present in the body today.

Father, help all to understand that your blessings are bestowed on them despite their shortcomings, sins, and/or disobedience. Help them to realize that you are the key to happiness, peace, joy, and restoration. Help them to continue to seek you in all that they do, while learning to put you first in all that they do.

Father, help us all to remain strong and steadfast in your holy word. Help them to understand that in life’s journey, the things that they endure are not always totally about them; it’s about how such experiences can help someone else through their journey, as well as bring someone closer to you through your Son, Jesus Christ. In addition, knowing that the ultimate purpose, for those who have experienced such, can lead to all remaining steadfast in your holy word and trusting in you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for continued direction, guidance, renewal, peace, joy, and happiness.

TRUSTING GOD THROUGH IT ALL

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for another day that was not promised.

They understand that troubles will come and they will go; however, as long as they depend upon you for all things, no weapons formed against them will prosper.

They further understand that without you, their lives can be compared to walking on a tight rope without a safety net to catch them if they fall. Therefore, they pray for your Holy Spirit to guide, direct, and protect them through their darkness as well as their blessings.

Father, help all to understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, are essential to making it in this world of sin and darkness. Help all to stop worrying about how they are perceived by those in the world and concentrate on how they are perceived in your eyes.

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

Father, I am giving you all the glory on this blessed morning in Christ for the gift of life! I am grateful for your agape love.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning routine, they ensure that they praise you and uplift your holy name for your continued grace and mercy. They know that there is no one on earth that can compare with the love that you have for all. However, there are many who allow wealth and possessions to become their god. They begin to separate themselves from family and friends who are not as fortunate as they are, treating them as peasants because they now fall below their standards of living.

Father, help all to examine themselves daily to determine if they are a true representation of you or not. Help them to understand that actions speak louder than words.

“But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.” 1 John 3:17–18

Father, help all to search your holy word daily to ascertain what your will is for them. Help them understand that in life they will have heartaches, headaches, and other illnesses. Help all to cling closely to you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“For you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings, I will sing for joy. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.”
