ONE IN CHRIST JESUS

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your ultimate sacrifice of your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their daily journey, they first say a prayer of thankfulness for providing them another opportunity to change their ways and commit to serving you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

They know that had it not been for you, they would not have become the person that you had orchestrated them to become. Through life’s most difficult experiences, you have never failed them. Despite what others may perceive as failing them, many understand that you know all things and have established a day and time for everyone to be born and for their demise.

Father, help everyone to understand that time does not wait for one to get their lives together. Therefore, repent and confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and be spiritually born again in the grave water of baptism for the remission of sin and to become one with Christ.

“For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:27-28

GOD ALLOWS PEACE THROUGH THE STORMS OF LIFE

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your grace and mercy.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for allowing them to awaken to witness another beautiful morning in Christ. Despite their difficulties in life, they continue to push forward, knowing that you have established their path and that their ultimate purpose awaits them.

Father, help all to understand that life consists of both good and bad experiences, ups and downs, happiness and sadness, as well as joy and pain.

However, despite it all, they grow closer to you, knowing that there is no one on earth that can bring them through and to a place of peace, happiness, and harmony despite the inflictions endured in their lives.

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire, you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.” Isaiah 43:2 ESV

GOD’S INCOMPARABLE LOVE

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 it is only by your grace that they have life and have it more abundantly. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive, provide, protect, guide, and direct their steps. Despite their shortcomings, your love remains constant and dependable. Because of you, they have a spiritual connection that fulfills them during the good and the bad.

Father, help all understand that you are forever present, faithful, and always abounding. Help them to understand that your love is one of a kind and always uplifts, restores, renews, and remains constant. Help all to understand that no other love on earth is comparable to your love through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“Thus, blessed be His name, God has abounded above the thoughts as well as the sin and bitter enmity of His creatures and bestowed His Son both as the propitiation for our sins and as the incomparable witness of His incomparable love.
1 John 4:9–10

REMAIN CONNECTED WITH GOD THROUGH CHRIST DAILY

Father, praise your holy name for another 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 blessed morning. They smile because they have another opportunity to worship you in spirit and in truth. They bow to their knees to confess their sins, repent, and pray for your continued guidance.

Father, help all to understand that everyone falls short of your glory daily, be it intentional or unintentional. Therefore, remain connected with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, during the good and the bad.

“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch can not bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me, you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in me, he is thrown away like a branch and withers, and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” John 15:4-7

WE ARE SET FREE BY GOD’S GRACE AND MERCY

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

Father, as many have awakened and begun their morning journey, they pause to say a prayer of thanksgiving. They know that despite their challenges in life, you are always in their midst, redirecting and guiding them back to the path of righteousness. They know that despite their intentions, everyone will not always understand or agree with their decisions, interpretations, and/or actions. Therefore, instead of giving up or giving in, they push through their adversities, obstacles, darkness, and difficulties as they learn from their experiences, acknowledge their actions or inactions, and remain steadfast to what you, through your Son Jesus Christ, have placed on their hearts.

Father, help all who experience unwarranted pain, heartbreaks, and trials beyond their understanding. Help all to understand that when they give their burdens and cares of the world to you, they are closer to being set free by your grace and mercy.

But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved.” Ephesians 2:4-5

SEARCH WITHIN YOURSELF DAILY

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they smile because your love is one of a kind. Although they sin and continuously fall short of your glory, you welcome their repentance and forgive them of the three types of sin (Lust Of The Flesh, Lust Of The Eyes, and The Pride of Life).

Father, help all to understand that they must be aware of the following unforgivable sin: “Therefore, I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.” Matthew 12:31-32

Father, help all to also understand that no one is perfect and we all fall short of your glory daily! Therefore, take heed and search themselves daily, praying for forgiveness and your divine direction.

“Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me. I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.” John 12:44-46

AIMING TO CONTINOUSLY, PLEASE GOD

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 pause to give you all the glory for another blessed day in Christ that was not promised. Despite their shortcomings, your love for them remains constant.

When they were challenged beyond measure, you allowed them to resist temptation and hold on to your unchanging hands during both the good and the bad.

When they were constantly overwhelmed with feelings of hatred and jealousy from those whom they loved and thought loved them as well, they realized that your love for them, through your Son, Jesus Christ, is the only love that is permanent without stipulations.

Father, help all to realize that you know and see all things; therefore, keep living life aiming to please you. Help them to leave all worries and concerns with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, as they follow the path that you have established for them.

“So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience.”
2 Corinthians 5:9–11

DEPENDENCE ON GOD

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they first give praise to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for the gift of life.

They know that nothing in life that is worth having comes easy. They understand that without trials and/or tribulations, there is no personal growth, and their dependency is on themselves instead of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to realize that life is always better with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to understand that the issues that they experience daily help them to obtain greater spiritual growth and a dependency upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“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 honor depend on God; he is my strong protector; he is my shelter. Trust in God at all times, my people. Tell him all your troubles, for he is our refuge.” Psalm 62:5-8

THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW PATH

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 sing praises to you for another day that was not promised. They smile because you have never failed them. When their trials and tribulations were unbearable, you have always been there to carry them through their pain when such burdens made it impossible to move forward in their life.

When their fight to not give up or to give in caused them to experience more attacks, they continued to call on your name to pull them through and to a place of peace and happiness.

Father, help all to understand that you are indeed the answer to all of their problems. Therefore, draw closer to you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Study to show yourself approved, rightly dividing your holy word, as they walk the straight and narrow path that leads to salvation.

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

Matthew 7:13–14

They know that you have power over all things and that your love is never-ending. They also know that, because of your ultimate sacrifice of your Son, Jesus Christ, they have life and have it more abundantly. They are forgiven of their sins after true repentance and redirected to the path of righteousness.

“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:8
