GOD’S TIMING IS ALWAYS PERFECT

Father, I give you all the praise for another blessed morning that was not promised. I’m grateful for your unconditional love and for turning bad experiences into positive lessons learned. 

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey as well, they focus on the numerous situations that you have brought them through. Despite their shortcomings, you have never forsaken them. They know that had it not been for those experiences and your bringing them through it all, they would not have become the person who they are today. Moreover, they would not have the relationship with you and dependency on you as they do. 

Father, help all to realize that you are the answer to all situations, troubles, sadness, heartaches, challenges, pain, and agony.

Father, help all to lean on you for all things and situations. Help them to understand that you are always present, will never forsake them, and will always lift them up in your timing. 

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD… plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 

This one fact, beloved, is that with the Lord, one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” 2 Peter 3:8-9

GOD’S LOVE 

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I am grateful for another opportunity to get it right.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey. They sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for the gift of life. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive, provide, protect, restore, renew, and answer their prayers.

Despite them knowing right from wrong, but continuing to fall short of your glory, your love never wavers. However, those of you whose hearts are pricked begin to change your ways, realizing that life is not promised tomorrow. 

Father, help all learn to evaluate themselves in accordance with your holy word. Help them to remain steadfast and strong in your holy word, realizing that you are the answer to all of their needs, problems, worries, and wants. 

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth and having on the breastplate of righteousness, and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.” Ephesians 6:13-18
