RELYING ON GOD

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

Father, as many have awakened to witness another day in Christ, they give you all the praise for another day to get it right. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive after true repentance and lead them to a place of peace and serenity. Instead of allowing Satan’s tactics to take them off course, they pray fervently, putting all their faith in you, knowing that no weapons formed against them will prosper.

Father, help all to rely upon you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all situations, setbacks, difficulties, and/or struggles within. Help them understand that your love is incomparable to anyone’s on earth. Moreover, help all to understand that you are always abounding, never-ending, and forever loving.

“Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky. Philippians 2:12-18

GOD’S TRUTH AND DELIVERANCE

Father, thank you for another day that was not promised. I’m grateful for your agape love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for another day in Christ. It is only by your grace and mercy that they have life and have it more abundantly.

Despite their shortcomings, you continue to direct their path toward what you have intended for them. They realize that they never have to depend on men because you continuously provide, protect, restore, renew, and love them unconditionally. They know that despite how things appear, you are always working things out for the good of those who love you in accordance with your holy word.

Father, help all to realize that there is no life without you, through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to further realize that all blessings come from you, and there is nothing gained by chance alone but always by your divine grace and mercy.

Father, help all to turn from their self-centered ways, focusing on themselves and how others see them instead of how you see them. Help all to understand that there is a time and season for all things; therefore, adorn themselves in your truths and deliverance from this wicked world, always aiming to please you through your Son, Jesus Christ, and not man.

“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

FOCUSING TO DO GOD’S WILL

Father, giving you all the praise for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m so grateful for another opportunity to get it right.

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

They know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it more abundantly.
They give reverence to you through your Son, Jesus Christ for your continued grace, mercy, forgiveness, and guidance. They know that despite the desires of their flesh or the need to be accepted by man, they must push through the desires of the flesh and the standards of man, and cling to righteousness with a sound mind and clean conscious by focusing on doing that which leads to salvation and not damnation.

Father, help all to truly understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ is indeed the answer to all of their problems. Help them to not lean on their own understanding, but go in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, love, forgiveness, faithfulness, and focus to do your will, at all times, and not when it’s more beneficial them.

“Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:12-14

DEPENDING ON THE LORD

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to say, “Thank you.” If it were not for your love, grace, and mercy, they would not be able to withstand their downs in life. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what did not go right, they focus on the experience and lessons learned. Instead of focusing on negativity, they understand that they have to learn to take the bad with the good because nothing in life is perfect.

Father, help all to understand that they have a choice to allow their circumstances to dictate their walk in life, or they can give all their worries to you, readjust their mindset, and push forward knowing that you will never forsake them nor allow them to become overly burdened by things or situations that they have no control over.

Help them to further understand that you are a constant in their lives. Therefore, keep depending on you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things.

“I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2

GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH!

Father, I am giving you all the praise 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 give you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, all praise for another opportunity to get it right. They understand that it is only by your grace and mercy that they are present in the body. Therefore, instead of complaining about what hasn’t come to fruition, they focus on your holy word as well as what you have allowed and predestined to come to fruition.

Instead of focusing on negativity, shortcomings, failures, trials, tribulations, and/or setbacks, they choose to live life, pushing through obstacles and trusting in you for all things that you have purposed for them.

Father, help all to understand that there will be tests as well as temptations. However, keep their faith, knowing that you are “our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not we fear, though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.”
Psalm 46:1-3

THE HOLY SPIRIT DIRECTS AND INTERCEDES

Father, I 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 sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for another day that was not promised. They know that it is only by your grace that they are able to continuously push through their challenges.
Instead of giving up or giving in, they pray for your divine intervention, direction, and resolve through all circumstances. They understand that change is necessary for growth, direction, and, most of all, a firm dependence upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to realize that a true relationship with you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, is essential. Help them to begin by studying your holy word to show themselves approved. Help them to then apply knowledge to their hearts and minds, realizing that you come so that all may have life and have it more abundantly.

Moreover, help all to remain firm in faith, knowing that the enemy will attempt to discourage, cause division, doubt, and confusion. However, your Holy Spirit will always guide, direct, and intercede on their behalf.

“Likewise, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.” Romans 8:26-27

GOD JUDGES BY WORDS AND DEEDS

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they continue to give you all the praise for your unconditional love. They are grateful for the gift of life and another opportunity to glorify your holy name.

They know that it is only by your grace that they have life, and they have it more abundantly. Despite the downs that they experience in life, they continue to push through their troubles with a smile. Despite their ups in life, they continue to remain steadfast in prayer and supplication, studying your holy word to show themselves approved, rightly dividing your holy word. Despite their negative encounters with those who claim to be of you, they push forward, knowing that no one can ever be truly known by what they say alone because actions speak louder than words.

Father, help all realize that they will be held accountable for their actions, words, and deeds. Therefore, repent, confess Christ, and for those who have not been baptized in the watery grave of baptism, be reborn in the watery grave in the name of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

“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

Father, help all to understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, are the key to happiness, forgiveness, salvation, peace, joy, love, and faithfulness.

Father, help all to take the priceless time to evaluate themselves in accordance with your holy word. Help them to understand that there is no greater love, connection, and/or guidance than from you, through your Son, Jesus Christ.

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.” 1 John 4:9–10
