WHO DO YOU AIM TO PLEASE?

Father, I praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love and the gift of life. Moreover, I am grateful for this day that we celebrate the birth of your son, Jesus Christ.

Father, as many have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your continued blessings. They know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it more abundantly. They also know that it is only by your grace that they are able to repent of their sins and become renewed and restored.

Father, help all to evaluate themselves by your holy word and not by how others see or think of them. Help them to always aim to please you and not man.”

For am I now seeking the approval of man or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ”. Galatians 1:10

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth and having on the breastplate of righteousness, and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.” Ephesians 6:13-18

BAPTISM IS ESSENTIAL

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ.

Father, as many have awakened to witness another day, they bow down on their knees to honor and glorify your holy name.

Despite their unintentional as well as intentional sins, you continue to forgive them as they repent and redirect their walk. They understand that life is a gift from you; therefore, they pray that you continue to forgive, provide, protect, and direct them to stay on the straight and narrow path to righteousness.

Father, help all to understand that you want the best for them, but they need to want the best for themselves. Help them to confess their sins, repent, and if not already, be baptized for the remission of their sins.

“He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” Mark 16:16

Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” John 3:5

“Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” Romans 6:4
