AN ALIGNMENT WITH GOD IS ESSENTIAL

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 praise. Because of your love, they are able to face life’s difficulties. They know that total dependency on you brings peace beyond understanding. Therefore, they cling to your unchanging hands during the good and the bad. They honor you through your Son, Jesus Christ, daily. They give all their worries to you, for with you, no weapons formed against them will prosper.

Father, help all to realize that a relationship with you, through your Son Jesus, is essential. Therefore, put all wordly things aside and focus on being aligned with you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”

ADORN YOURSELF WITH GOD’S LOVE

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened and begun their morning journey, they sing praises of joy and happiness. 

Despite their circumstances, they smile because you have allowed them another day to make a difference. Instead of dwelling on their trials and tribulations, they push through their troubles and focus on their blessings. Instead of worrying about pleasing those who are only concerned with or about themselves, they focus on doing your will for the betterment of all situations. 

Father, help all to take time daily to wholeheartedly examine themselves. Help them to understand that life is full of ups and downs, challenges, pain, joy, happiness, and sadness.

However, with you, they are able to push through all obstacles as they adorn themselves with your armor and shield, your helmet of salvation, and your breastplate of righteousness.

“Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel—rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.” 1 Peter 3:3–4

WITHSTANDING BY GOD’S GRACE AND MERCY 

Father, thank you for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for another opportunity to hear and soak in your Holy Word. 

As many have awakened and are beginning their daily journey, they first pray a prayer of thankfulness to you through your Son, Jesus Christ. 
They also praise you for your unmerited favor. When they were challenged by the evil spirit, you never failed them and continuously showed up and showed out. Because of this, they truly understand that you are indeed always present during the good and the bad and that no weapons formed against them would prosper. 

They also praise you for your unwavering love. Because of this, they are better able to treat others as they would like to be treated. 

Father, help all to withstand the battles that they have and will encounter by trusting in you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things, situations, and/or encounters.

“After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.”
1 Peter 5:10

“Therefore, let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in times of need.” Hebrews 4:16

GOD’S NEVERENDING LOVE 

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they smile because of your never-ending love. Despite their sins, your blessings continue to overflow. 

When they were at their lowest point, you brought them out of a state of depression to a state of peace and true happiness.

When they believed that they could no longer push through their adversities, you carried them through and to a place of serenity.

Father, help all to constantly and consistently seek you in all that they do. Help them realize that with you, there is never-ending healing, restoration, and renewal. 

“The LORD’s love never ends; his mercies never stop. They are new every morning; LORD, your loyalty is great.” Lamentations 3:22-23

DEPENDENCY ON GOD

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened and begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

They are grateful for this beautiful morning and their ability to continue to push through, as they depend on you for all things, despite their adversities. 

Instead of dwelling on the motives or the intentional harm that has been and continues to be inflicted upon them, they give all their worries to you through your Son, Jesus Christ. 

They now understand that envy and jealousy are the culprits that provoke one to inflict hurt, pain, and desolation on others.

Father, please help all who continue to experience turmoil in their lives to realize that you are faithful and will always be present to cover, protect, guide, direct, restore, and renew. Help them to call on you through your Son, Jesus Christ, and cling to your unchanging hands during the good and the bad.

“I depend on God alone; I put my hope in him. He alone protects and saves me; he is my defender, and I shall never be defeated. My salvation and honour depend on God; he is my strong protector; he is my shelter. Trust in God at all times, my people.”
Psalms 62:5-8

STEPPING INTO YOUR PURPOSE 

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have been blessed to witness this special day that was not promised, they pause to say, “Thank you”! They understand, with all of their hearts, that it’s only because of your grace, mercy, and love that they have life, and they have it more abundantly. They know that throughout their journey in life, you have always covered, protected, directed, provided, and loved them beyond understanding. Therefore, instead of them focusing on what did or did not occur in accordance with their own understanding, they focused on what did occur in accordance with your grace and mercy.

Father, help all to seek and represent you in all that they do and say. Help them to depend on you at all times. Moreover, help them to always represent you as they step into the purpose that you have established for them.

“For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus, for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10

THE LORD WILL ORDER YOUR STEPS

Father, I am giving you all the glory for another day that was not promised. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your continued blessings, grace, and mercy. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to direct their steps. 

They know that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, are the reason for their existence. 
They understand that no one is perfect and all fall short of your glory daily; however, your love never wavers. 

They know that they can totally depend on you for everything because you have never forsaken them.

Father, help all to evaluate themselves wholeheartedly as they walk the battlefield of evil and darkness. Help them to choose righteousness over sinfulness and love over hate as you continue to order their steps. 

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: And he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: For the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.” 
Psalm 37:23-24

GOD IS THE ANSWER 

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they smile because you continue to provide, guide, direct, restore, and renew their walk in life. 

When they fall short of your glory, your love continues to flourish for them, far beyond their comprehension. When they know to do right but choose to do what pleases their flesh, you forgive them after repentance and redirect their path and their mindset. 

Father, help all to understand that there is no greater love than yours, through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to further understand that you are the answer to all of their needs, problems, worries, sicknesses, troubles, disappointments, failures, trials, and tribulations. 

“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him. Isaiah 65:24.

ABOUNDING IN LOVE!

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your continued blessings. They worship you in spirit and truth and give you all praise for the gift of life, forgiveness of sins, and your continued guidance.

Father, help all to know that your love is never-ending, pure, flawless, and always abounding. Help them to understand that your love will guide them through their difficulties, darkness, setbacks, and/or tribulations. 

Moreover, let them know that you will never forsake them. Therefore, remain steadfast in prayer and supplication, and do all things in accordance with your holy word.
