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

GOD’S SHIELD OF PROTECTION

They understand that all goodness comes from you through your Son Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to come you for your shield of protection. Help them to understand that there is no greater place to than with you, through your Son Jesus Christ.

“His massive arms are wrapped around you, protecting you. You can run under his covering of majesty and hide. His arms of faithfulness are a shield keeping you from harm.” Psalms 91:4 TPT

GREATER PURPOSE FOR ALL THINGS

Father, praise your holy name 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 fall to their knees in prayer for bringing them through and to another blessed day in Christ. It is only because of your grace that they are able to withstand the wiles of the devil. Therefore, they continue to draw close to you for direction, guidance, protection, and discernment.

Father, help all to understand that you will never forsake them. Help them to understand that their experiences in life may seem unfair; however, they must know that you, through your Son Jesus Christ, have a greater purpose for all things.

“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” Romans 8:28

PEACE ABOVE ALL UNDERSTANDING

Father, praising your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I am grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they continue to sing praises to your holy name. They know that with you, all things are possible, through your Son Jesus Christ, and in accordance with your holy word. They fail to allow negativity to sink into their spirit; therefore, they immediately pray for peace above all understanding.

Father, help all to know that they will experience many trials in life; however, they can give you all their worries because you will allow them to withstand all experiences.

Father, help all to understand that as they continue to pray and depend upon you for all things, they will be able to overcome all things as well. Therefore, cling closely to you during their good and their not so good days.

Moreover, help all to focus on and evaluate themselves instead of continuing to place judgment on others.

“Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 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

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

STRAIGHT AND NARROW PATH

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 pause to give you all the glory for the gift of life. They know that it is only by your grace, mercy, and love that they are witnessing another day in Christ.

Despite their shortcomings, you continue to provide them with abundant blessings. They know that your love is one of a kind, and they pray that they will never have the mindset of taking such for granted.

Father, help all to realize that your spirit dwells within them. Therefore, continue to walk the straight and narrow path which leads to salvation.

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matthew 7:13-14
