BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST!

Father, I give you all the praise for another blessed morning that was not promised. I’m grateful for your unconditional love and the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to give you all the praise as well. They know that despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive and redirect their path. They know that the good that has been done for or to them has been because of your grace and mercy. They know that their not-so-good days are only bearable because of you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Therefore, they continue to push through their pain, obstacles, depression, challenges, and anxiety knowing that you have never forsaken them and will always come through for them. 

Father, help all to realize that you, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are the reason for their existence, deliverance, perseverance, and hope. Help all to know that once they accept Jesus Christ as their Savior through words and deeds, they are covered by the blood of Jesus Christ.

“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.” Ephesians 1:7

“For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.” Peter 1:18-19

“But Lord, your endless love stretches from one eternity to the other, unbroken and unrelenting toward those who fear you and those who bow facedown in awe before you.” Psalm 103:17

WILL YOU CHOOSE GOD OVER THE WORLD?

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ! I am grateful for the gift of life and another opportunity to turn wrongs into rights. 

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they continue to push through their pain to peace and happiness. Despite their trials and adversities experienced, they find relief in knowing that you will never forsake them. Despite their shortcomings, you answer their prayers and start them anew. Despite their doubts, you show them who you are and whose they are as you answer prayers and uplift them from pain and agony to painlessness and joy. 

Father, help all to take a look within themselves to determine whose they truly are—a child of yours or a child of the world. Moreover, help them to understand that they cannot serve two masters; therefore, they must choose you or the world, knowing that you are the only one, through your Son, Jesus Christ, who will never foresake them.

“If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world; that is why the world hates you.” John 15:19

GOD IS OMNIPRESENT 

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to give you all the praise for another blessed morning that was not promised. Despite their shortcomings, your love is never-ending, and you are ominipresent. 

When they have been depleted by the burdens that weigh heavily on them, you relieve them from the cares of this world and reform their thoughts and walk in life.

Father, help all to cling to you as they push through their adversities, obstacles, and troubles. Help them to know that you are omnipresent and will never forsake them.

“Where can I go from your Spirit?” Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there… even there, your hand will guide me; your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. Psalm 139:7-12

Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing, and perfect will.” Romans 12:1-2
