TOMORROW IS NEVER PROMISED

Father, I praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the peace and serenity that you provide to your children during their most difficult experiences.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they fall to their knees in prayer. Despite their worldly success, they feel defeated because their spiritual being is starving for a stronger connection with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. However, they fail to study your holy word. They cling to others whose hearts are far from yours. They act as if they are ashamed to be Christians in front of those who do not believe in you, but they call out your holy name when they are alone.

Father, help all to know that they cannot serve you and Satan. Help them to pray for discernment, guidance, direction, and peace, and to study your holy word daily. Help them to understand that tomorrow is never promised.

“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Suffficient for the day is its own trouble.” Matthew 6:33-34
