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

ARE YOU FOLLOWING GOD’S EXAMPLE?

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

Father, as many have awakened to witness another beautiful morning, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ. They understand that today was not promised; therefore, they praise your holy name through song, prayer, supplication, and obedience.

Despite their setbacks and/or setups, they continue to trust in you for all things. They understand that you are the answer to all of their needs. They further understand that they need you through their good days just as much as they need you through their bad days.

Moreover, they know that it is only because of you that they are blessed beyond understanding.

Father, help all to examine themselves daily to determine if they are following the examples that you have left for all in your holy word or if they are perpetrating holiness when their hearts are far from you.

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18

Despite the negatives that they have encountered, they continue to push through their adversities, knowing that you are always present through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your Holy Spirit.

Therefore, they continue to praise and uplift your holy name because they are overly grateful for your unconditional love, grace, and mercy.

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

WITHSTANDING THE UPS AND DOWNS OF LIFE

Father, praise your holy name 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 sing praises to you for your grace and mercy. Because of you, they are able to make it through their most trying moments and turn their sadness into happiness. Because of you, they are able to withstand the ups and downs of life and turn their difficulties into lessons learned. Because of you, they are able to look past the evil that others have towards them and pray for their wellbeing.

Father, help all to understand that, throughout their darkest moments, they should continue to forgive others and trust in you for all things. Help all to further understand that although no one is perfect in this world and all sin and fall short of your glory, it does not mean that one has to continue accepting and allowing others to hurt them emotionally, physically, or mentally. Therefore, separate themselves from anyone who does not love, respect, and/or treat them as if they matter.

“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: . . . a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.” Ecclesiastes 3:1-4

A GREATER PURPOSE

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

Father, as many have awakened to witness another beautiful morning in Christ, they pray a prayer of thanksgiving. They know that it is only by your grace that they are present in the body. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what went wrong or what didn’t come to fruition, they focus on the gift of life and your continued blessings, guidance, direction, peace, grace, and direction.

They understand that there will be trials as well as tribulations; however, your love for them remains constant. They know that despite their challenges in life, you continue to see them through all circumstances and push them to greatness.

Father, help all to realize that you are the key to happiness during their most difficult experiences. Help them to also understand that there is a greater purpose for their experiences, which will soon be revealed.

“Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.”
Ephesians 4:13-20

WHO ARE YOU TRUSTING?

Father, I give you all the praise, honor, and glory for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for you, your Son, Jesus Christ, and your Holy Spirit.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they smile because they know that they are protected and guided by you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

They jump for joy due to the confidence that they have in you. They know that no weapons formed against them will prosper, and despite experiencing despair, sickness, breakdowns, depression, sadness, fear, heartaches, challenges, pain, and agony, you always bring them through stronger and wiser.

Father, help all to understand that putting all their trust in you is necessary to make it in this world.

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8

GOD IS THE ANSWER TO ALL YOUR NEEDS

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their daily journey, some are ecstatic, whereas others are not. Those who are ecstatic are focused on you. They know that it is a blessing from you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, that they have life and have it more abundantly. Those who are not ecstatic are only concerned about themselves and the negativity that comes from carrying envy within, not getting enough sleep, and continuing to internalize why things are not going their way. Instead of praying for direction and a sound mind, they depend on themselves, which ultimately leads to them falling prey to the tactics of the devil.

Father, help all to understand that you are the answer to all of their problems. Help them understand that you are always the key to happiness during their pain, agony, fear, depression, and anxiety.

“And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.”
2 Corinthians 9:8

Father, help all to understand that there is no other love like yours through your Son Jesus Christ. Help them to also realize that you came so that all may have life and have it more abundantly. Therefore, remain steadfast, obedient, prayerful, hopeful, and focused.

FATHER, SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT

Father, I am giving you all the praise for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for another opportunity to worship you in spirit and in truth.

Father, as many have awakened on this beautiful morning in Christ, they give you all the glory for another day that was not promised. Despite their disobedience, your love is never-ending. Despite their sins, you continue to allow them to withstand the wiles of the devil and keep them on the path of righteousness.

Father, help all to understand that you are the answer to all of their needs, problems, worries, sicknesses, disappointments, failures, trials, setbacks, setups, fears, sadness, heartaches, challenges, and pains. Help them to acknowledge their sins, repent of them, confess Christ, and be baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost to become one with you.

“Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened, and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.” Luke 3:21-22
