SPIRITUALLY REWARDING

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to say, “Thank you.” They know that it is only by your grace that they have life on this blessed morning. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what isn’t going right, they focus on the gift of life.

Father, help all to take time out of their busy schedules to appreciate you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to realize that life is full of ups and downs, wins and losses, good and bad, as well as advances and setbacks. However, worshipping you through your Son, Jesus Christ, through it all, is spiritually rewarding.

“Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done.” Revelation 22:12

REBUKING THE EVIL SPIRIT

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to give you praise for your continued blessings. They know that it is only because of your unfailing love that they have life and have it more abundantly. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what didn’t come to fruition, they focus on the daily blessings that you continue to bestow on them.

In addition, they adorn themselves with your breastplate of righteousness, understanding that you have control over all things, people, and situations.

Father, help all to stop allowing the evil spirit to cause them to question their peace and happiness.

Help them know that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, will forever love, embrace, support, protect, guide, and direct them to a place of peace, happiness, harmony, and serenity.

Help them to also know that anything that is opposite to the aforementioned is not of you or your Son, Jesus Christ.

“And Jesus rebuked the devil, and he departed out of him, and the child was cured from that very hour. Then came the disciples to Jesus apart and said, Why could not we cast him out? And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief, for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”

Matthew 17:18-20

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

Moreover, help all to cling closely to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, through their good and their bad days.

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”

Philippians 4:8
