CLINGING ON TO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they pray a prayer of thankfulness. Because of you, they are able to witness another day that was not promised. Because of you, they sing praise through their good and their bad. Because of you, they understand that your love is unconditional and is always abounding.

Father, help all to understand that there will be good, bad, and indifferent days. However, your love for them remains constant. There is no wavering or this for that, because true love does not keep score and waive such annoyances.

Father, help all to search your holy word daily to ascertain what your will is for them. Help them understand that in life they will have heartaches, headaches, and other illnesses. Help all to cling closely to you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“For you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings, I will sing for joy. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.”
Proverbs 3:5–6
