GLORIFYING GOD, DESPITE IT ALL

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 pause to give you praise for your continued protection, guidance, direction, peace, and joy, despite their shortcomings.

They pause to glorify you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, for never forsaking them, despite their inconsistencies.

Father, thank you for providing everyone with the various trials that they have endured, for the lessons learned from such trials have allowed them to become more dependent upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

In addition, Father, thank you for the gift of life. Thank you for your grace and mercy. Thank you for allowing them many chances to become the God-fearing man or woman that you have orchestrated them to become. Thank you for your continued grace and mercy.

“Therefore, by Him, let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.” Hebrews 13:15-16

REJOICE OVER THE ENEMIES TATICS

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ! I’m grateful for the ability to worship you in spirit and in truth.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they smile because they have life and have it more abundantly.

Despite their not-so-good experiences, they continue to push through all forces and/or obstacles, knowing that you will carry them through all circumstances when their burdens become heavy and unbearable.

With you, their faith carries them through what seemed impossible—to reach the prize from you through your Son, Jesus Christ, that awaits them.

Father, help all to understand that despite their enemies tactics to break their spirit and disrupt their faith, they will continue to praise you through your Son, Jesus Christ. In addition, they will rejoice over the tactics, for they know that they are filled with righteousness because Satan does not affect those whom he already has.

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” James 1:2-3

TRUSTING GOD THROUGH IT ALL

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

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.

Father, because of you, they are able to push through obstacles that once caused their faith to waiver. Because of you, they are able to walk in faith through their trials and tribulations. They understand that troubles will come and they will go; however, as long as they depend upon you for all things, no weapons formed against them will prosper.

They further understand that without you, their lives can be compared to walking on a tight rope without a safety net to catch them if they fall. Therefore, they pray for your Holy Spirit to guide, direct, and protect them through their darkness as well as their blessings.

Father, help all to understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, are essential to making it in this world of sin and darkness. Help all to stop worrying about how they are perceived by those in the world and concentrate on how they are perceived in your eyes.

“In you, Lord my God, I put my trust. I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.”
Psalm 25:1-2

A RENEWED MINDSET

Father, thank you for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they smile. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive, provide, protect, restore, renew, and guide them to the path of righteousness.

Although no one is perfect on earth, with you, they are made whole. Therefore, they put all their trust in you during their good and bad days. They also commit their lives to serve you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to see your light, for they have become accustomed to darkness. Help them to renew their mindset and walk the straight and narrow path of righteousness.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good, acceptable, and perfect.” Romans 12:2

A TRUE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

Father, I praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your second chance and opportunities to get it right. If it wasn’t for you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, there would be no smiles, happiness, peace, joy, or repentance. They know that it is only by your grace and mercy that they have life and have it more abundantly.

Father, help all to understand the importance of a true relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to understand that there is no greater love, protection, guidance, direction, peace, or salvation without you through Christ.

“Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.” John 17:1-5

JESUS CHRIST DELIVERS AND CAUSES EVERYONE TO BE VICTORIOUS

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 have begun their morning journey, they pause to say, “Thank you.” They know that it is only by your grace that they have life, and they have it more abundantly. Despite their shortcomings, as well as their trials and tribulations, they push through adversity, obstacles, and darkness by depending on you and not themselves. They know that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, are the reason for their deliverance and the cause of their being victorious.

Father, help all to understand that with you, they can make it through all adversities and challenges. Help them to continue to hold on to your unchanging hands during both the good and the bad.

“But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:57-58

FOCUSING ON GOD’S BLESSINGS

Father, thank you for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for second chances.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they first praise your holy name for another opportunity to get it right. Although they fall short of your glory daily, you continue to lead them and ensure that they are victorious in all that they do. Although they have internal scars that sometimes stop them from pushing through adversity, they know that, by your stripes, they are healed. Therefore, instead of dwelling on their trials and tribulations, they push forward by focusing on the fact that you have brought them through it all.

Father, help all to begin to change their thought process from the negativity that they have experienced to the blessings that you have bestowed upon them.

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.” Ephesians 1:3-4

NEVERENDING SPIRITUAL CONNECTION

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 sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your continued blessings, grace, and mercy. They know that with you, all things are possible. They know that their lives are better with you, and because of that, they aim to please you in all that they do. They know that you have all the power and authority over all things, situations, and/or people. They know that despite their shortcomings, you continue to instill in them pure excellence, love, forgiveness, and the importance of remaining steadfast in prayer and supplication.

Father, help all who find solace in material things instead of their spiritual attunement. Help them to understand that material things will deteriorate in due time, whereas their spiritual connection with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, is neverending.

“Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.” Ephesians 4:15-16

Father, help all who continue to struggle with trusting in you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things. Help them to understand that you come so that they may have life and have it more abundantly.

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13
