TAKE HEED, AIM TO LIVE RIGHTEOUSLY!

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have been blessed to awaken to witness another day in Christ, they fall to their knees in prayer to thank you for allowing them another opportunity to get it right.

They praise your holy name for forgiveness and your continued blessings, grace, and favor. They pray for a deeper connection with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. They thank you for never forsaking them. They know that nothing in this world can substitute for your love. With you, there is always peace in the storms of life. Therefore, they recommit their lives to you through your Son, Jesus Christ. They vow to remain steadfast in prayer and supplication. They pray that you continue to help them discern all situations that they encounter, as well as the people that they interact with, for you know all things.

Father, help all to understand that you give us all the ability to live righteously. Therefore, take heed by putting you first, establishing a relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, and spreading the gospel.

“The LORD detests the way of the wicked, but he loves those who pursue righteousness.” Proverbs 15:9

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

Father, I am giving you all the glory on this blessed morning in Christ for the gift of life! I am grateful for your agape love.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning routine, they ensure that they praise you and uplift your holy name for your continued grace and mercy. They know that there is no one on earth that can compare with the love that you have for all. However, there are many who allow wealth and possessions to become their god. They begin to separate themselves from family and friends who are not as fortunate as they are, treating them as peasants because they now fall below their standards of living.

Father, help all to examine themselves daily to determine if they are a true representation of you or not. Help them to understand that actions speak louder than words.

“But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.” 1 John 3:17–18

WE ARE GOD’S WORKMANSHIP

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they fall to their knees in prayer, thanking you for the gift of life—the ability to walk, see, talk, smell, taste, think, and feel. These gifts are what allow us all to function each day, which, unfortunately, many take for granted.

Father, help all to continuously pray for the good of those who love you with all their heart, mind, and soul. Help them to understand that a true relationship, as well as dependency upon you, is necessary to make it through their daily journey.

Therefore, study to show themselves approved: “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.” Ephesians 2:10

WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, because of the blessings of awakening to see this beautiful morning, they give you all the praise for another opportunity to glorify your holy name. They are grateful for your agape love.

They sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for another blessed morning that was not promised. They understand that all goodness comes from you through your Son, Jesus Christ. They understand that, without you, there is no hope. Therefore, they continue to cling to your unchanging hands during the good and the bad.

Father, help all to understand that they are hopeless and helpless without you. Help them to understand that they will experience many tests, trials, and tribulations; however, you will never forsake them. In addition, help them understand that despite what they experience, they must focus on continuing to have open communication with you at all times.

Help them to also understand that you know and see all things; therefore, be mindful of your holy powers and know that with you, all things are possible.

“But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men, this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26

CALL ON GOD THROUGH THE GOOD AND THE BAD

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to give you all the honor and glory. They know that it is only by your grace and mercy that they are present in the body. Therefore, they continue to push through obstacles, pull through the darkness that tries to override your light, and pray through their trials, knowing that whatever they experience is temporary and you will never forsake them.

Father, help all to understand that they will experience trials; however, you are always present and will never forsake them. Help all to call on your name during the good and the bad.

“I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Psalm 34:1

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

THE POWER OF FAITH

Father, praise your holy name for this 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 and mercy that they have life and have it abundantly. Despite their shortcomings, your love never changes. Despite knowing what to do but doing the opposite of it, you forgive their sins after true repentance. Instead of holding back your love from them, you provide an abundance of never-ending love.

Father, help all to understand that your love is like no other. Help them to really think about how you sacrificed your Son, Jesus Christ, for their salvation. In addition, help all to remain steadfast in prayer and supplication without doubt, and they will witness the power of faith.

“For we live by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7

“And without faith, it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Hebrews 11:6

VICTORIOUS IN CHRIST

Father, praise your holy name for this 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 pray a prayer of thanksgiving. They know that it is only by your grace that they stand. Therefore, they continue to praise you through the good and the bad.

They are aware that there will be days where they are experiencing setbacks, heartaches, and doubt; however, they continue to maintain their faith, push through their obstacles and adversities, and pray their way back to peace and serenity.

Father, help all to realize that there is nothing in life that is worth having that causes them to be perturbed. However, despite their circumstances, they are and will always be victorious in your Son, Jesus Christ.

“But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

GOD IS PEACE IN THE MIDST OF LIFE’S STORMS.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they sing praises of peace and joy. It is only by your grace that they are able to push through darkness and allow your light to continue to guide them to the path of righteousness.

Although they push through adversity and various obstacles to remain steadfast on the path of righteousness as well as keep their sanity, they sometimes miss the mark. However, because of your Son, Jesus Christ, as well as your Holy Spirit’s interaction in their lives, they are able to fight the various sources of negativity, confusion, and discourse.

Father, help all to understand that it is only by your grace that many are able to maintain their sanity and thought process, as well as fight the mental and physical pain they endure every second of the day. Moreover, help all to understand that you are the source of their freedom, healing, and restoration.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Matthew 11:28-30

ACQUIRING CHARACTERISTICS TO TRANSFORM MINDSET

Father, as many have begun their daily journey, they give you all the praise for this blessed day and the New Year in Jesus Christ. Despite their sins, you continue to bless them with the gift of life. Because of you, they are filled with joy, peace, direction, and happiness. They pray that your will is done despite them projecting their own wants and needs over the plans you have orchestrated for them.

Father, help all to understand that you are to be honored and glorified daily as they open their eyes and arise from sleep. Help all to learn to please you wholeheartedly and more apprehensively as they aim to please those in the world. Moreover, help them obtain the characteristics that will transform their mindset.

“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
